10. Button Boss
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Button Boss was one of the biggest fashion companies in the US, and it was even well-known abroad in the last decade. This company had been around for half a century, and that was the reason why it had been able to gain the trust and love of the people.
Button Boss specialized in men's fashion. They produced clothes, shoes, and even bags designed for men. However, unlike other brands in the same field, Button Boss was quite bold in its color choices. Other men's fashion brands mostly used dark colors for their products, but Button Boss often used bright colors for their products.
That was why Jessica's wardrobe was full of her husband's colorful menswear, and her husband today wore one of his brightly colored suits. The purple plaid suit was nothing new in her eyes, and Jessica almost covered her face in embarrassment after confirming that it was indeed her husband who was wearing the suit.
"What are you doing here?" Coldly, Jessica asked the brown-haired man.
However, instead of directly answering her question, the man quietly pulled out a chair before gesturing for his boyfriend to sit on the chair. Jessica almost threw up when she watched her husband act like a gentleman. The one who received the man's caring signal was not her, and that was why her expression darkened even more when the person who received the signal smiled at her husband before sitting down on the chair.
Disgustingly, Noah returned Tyler's smile before placing himself in another chair next to the one where Tyler was sitting.
"We're here to discuss Button Boss's collaboration with EntertainMEN," answered Noah, and Jessica raised her eyebrows at her husband's answer.
"We?" She asked, and her eyes even glanced at the man sitting next to her husband before she continued, “Does he also work for your company? Ah, are you two a company couple now? That explains how you went on a business trip with him a week ago.”
Jessica sounded hateful and sarcastic, and she made no effort to hide her hostility towards the two men sitting across from her. Unfortunately, she had to admit that the man named Tyler was just as attractive as her husband.
Previously, she had tried not to catch a glimpse of how her husband hadn't buttoned the first three buttons of his white shirt, but she ended up glancing at Tyler's black shirt instead. In contrast to her husband, who today was quite confident in wearing a bright-colored suit, Tyler wore a black shirt without buttoning the first three buttons, and Jessica had to admit, the sight was quite sexy.
'What? Why am I praising my love rival?' She lamented inwardly when she realized how pathetic she was. A man took her husband away, and she even admitted that the man was attractive.
Thankfully, Jessica was able to dispel those unnecessary thoughts when her husband answered her question, “Tyler is a new contracted model at my company.”
Jessica looked a little surprised, and her blue eyes once again glanced at her husband's boyfriend before she carefully observed his appearance. Just like her husband, Tyler didn't have that sexy tan that made women drool. Instead, his skin was fair, and she could even see freckles on his face. His hair was the color of ebony, and his eyes were the color of hazel. He had a small face with a sharp jawline, and it framed his facial features perfectly.
When Jessica glanced at Tyler's body, she realized how much his body wasn't as big as Noah's. After all, she knew how Noah was a gym junkie, and that was why it wasn't surprising that the brown-haired man had a well-built body. In contrast, Tyler was more lean and slender, and Jessica also found that the black-haired man was slightly smaller than Noah.
'Is he the bottom in their relationship?' She couldn't help but wonder as she continued to look at her husband's boyfriend.
But she once again realized that she had unnecessary thoughts in her head, and that was why she suddenly shook her head before looking back at her husband. “I don't care about him, but I was wondering why you were the one who came to see me today,” she once again spoke coldly to her husband. “As far as I remember, you are in the Marketing Department of your company, and your job is to study the market and prepare marketing plans. So, why are you here now when it should be someone from the Commercial Department who came to see me?”
Jessica finally expressed her curiosity, and her husband calmly answered, “Actually, I was transferred to the Commercial Department a month ago, but I think I forgot to tell you about that.”
“…” Jessica gritted her teeth to suppress her anger instead of replying to what her husband had just said to her.
The word “forgot” seemed so simple to her husband, but she was offended by it. At this point, she realized how insignificant she was to her husband. She always told her husband everything related to her life, thinking that she should share everything with the man she loved. Unfortunately, she was the one who thought about it, while her husband didn't think of her as an important figure and even forgot to tell her about that important thing.
Jessica was hurt and annoyed at the same time, but she managed to mask her feelings as she asked again, “So, you will be the one communicating with my company for the project?”
"That's right," Noah answered, nodding his head. “The purpose of our meeting today is to discuss the next photoshoot plan, right? Before we start the discussion, I think it is better to introduce you to the main model that will work with you in the project.”
Once again, Jessica was stunned to hear her husband's words. Her husband didn't mention a name, but she immediately concluded after hearing his words. Her eyes stiffly turned towards Tyler as she thought, 'So, I have to work with my husband's boyfriend now?'

The fact that she had to work with her husband after an affair was already a disaster, and now she had to work with her husband's boyfriend too.

Let's see whether the guy will still be handsome or not if he is bald.She could actually do that, but she didn't mean to make a fuss at all. Instead of causing cheap drama in a packed restaurant, she simply signaled to her husband that they should order first, and that was why she raised her hand to call one of the waiters. However, she would probably spit out everything she swallowed if she ate in front of her husband and her husband's boyfriend, and that was why she only ordered drinks.The two men were shameless about ordering the most expensive menu.

"Three of us?" Jessica was surprised and displeased to hear her husband's words. She was about to continue questioning the brown-haired man, but then a waiter arrived at their table to deliver their order. Jessica was forced to hold back her curiosity when the waiter placed their order on the table. She only ordered a drink when the two men sitting across from her ordered a nice meal, and her stomach suddenly made a sound of protest. Of course, her stomach didn't like when she could only look at the delicious food that didn't belong to her, but she tried to hold back her hunger while thanking the waiter. When the waiter left, Jessica could hear her husband talking to his boyfriend. “Oh, we forgot to tell the waiter not to put parsley in your soup. Now, I have to get the parsley out of your soup, right?” Noah asked his boyfriend in his deep yet gentle voice, and Jessica couldn't help but frown when she heard what he said. She could then see how her husband picked up his spoon befor

The first time Jessica heard Tammy voice her theory about the possibility of Noah bringing his boyfriend to live with him at his apartment, she felt both sad and annoyed. At that time, she didn't even respond to what her assistant said to her, and that was because her heart was too hurt. However, today when she voiced the same theory in front of her husband and his boyfriend, she felt nothing in her heart, and it seemed like it was true that her heart had gone numb after continuously feeling hurt because of her husband. She could even come to her husband's apartment tonight. Of course, her intention was not to stay in that place permanently, and she would only take her belongings before she could leave that place completely. It was a shame for her because she had been living at Noah's apartment since they got married. Before they got married, she rented an apartment, but then she left that place and lived with her husband instead. Today, she quite regretted her decision to leave he

Visiting time at the hospital had passed several hours ago, but Jessica and Noah were allowed into the room where Jessica's father had been staying for almost two weeks.Yes, Jessica was forced to bring Noah with her when visiting her father because her father asked them to come together tonight. It was indeed her father who called her when she was at Noah's apartment, and instead of giving her bad news, the old man asked her to come to the hospital tonight with her husband.Of course, Jessica didn't know what the old man would say to her, but she came anyway. She also had no choice but to let her husband stand next to her beside the hospital bed where her father lay weak.“You rarely come to visit me, you ungrateful brat!” The old man lying in the hospital bed greeted his daughter with a scolding instead of welcoming her warmly.“Relax, Dad,” Jessica answered the old man. “You may leave this place tomorrow, but if you continue to raise your tone when talking to me, your next destinat
Me, My Husband, and His Boyfriend 15. No Grandchild, No Legacy
Jessica was the only child in her family. Patricia's condition was said to not allow her to have a second child after giving birth to Jessica thirty-three years ago, and that was why she and her husband could only raise one child even though they actually wanted to have another child. That was also the reason why they had been spoiling Jessica so much since she was a baby. They never let their daughter suffer, and they always tried to grant their daughter's wishes if it was within their reach. They also let their daughter do the things she wanted to do, including becoming a photographer instead of choosing a more stable job in the city. Even when they had the idea of introducing a man to their daughter, they did not force her daughter to accept the man immediately. Instead, they allowed their daughter to reject the man if she wanted to. Something similar happened almost four years ago when they first introduced Noah to their daughter. At that time, they asked their daughter's opini

It seemed like a serious warning from Luke, but Jessica suddenly frowned before saying, “You make it sound like you have a lot to give us, Dad. You sound like a dying rich man who has a lot of property that you can give to your daughter and son-in-law, but I know that our family is not that rich. It can even be said that we are poor, so please stop being dramatic, Dad.”“…” This time, it was Luke who looked stunned after hearing Jessica's words.It seemed that the old man was speechless by what his daughter had just said, but his daughter did not look guilty. After all, Jessica knew very well about her family situation. They were just an ordinary family, not too rich and not too poor. Their house was not too big and not too small, and they only owned two cars, one of which was bought with installments that had not yet been paid off. They didn't live luxuriously, even Jessica's mother didn't wear too much jewelry.That was the reason why Jessica facepalmed when she realized that her fa

“Why would you say something like that to my father?” Crossing her arms over her chest to show her dominance, Jessica questioned the man standing in front of her. They were no longer in the room her father used, but they were still in the hospital instead of leaving immediately. The hospital alley was quiet as the night was getting older, and her voice managed to break the silence. "I did that because I care about your father," Noah answered calmly, not feeling intimidated by the woman's piercing gaze. “His wish is simple, so I want to grant it. You're his daughter, so you should grant his simple wish, right?” His words seemed to trigger Jessica's anger, she even pulled her hands from in front of her chest while glaring sharply at the brown-haired man. “You think his wish is simple? My father wants to have a grandchild when we are about to get divorced, but you think his wish is simple? Do you think with your knees, not with your brain?” She angrily questioned the man. "We won't b

“Where did you go last night, sis? Why didn't you call me, and why were you so drunk when I found you last night?” It was still early in the morning, and Jessica was dizzy listening to the series of questions her assistant asked. For a moment, she didn't answer the questions and only used her palms to support her spinning head. Tammy sat across from her, and she took a deep breath before pushing the glass bottle closer to the older woman's hand. “Drink that first, sis. I will take you later when you go to your new place,” she said. Jessica finally lifted her head from her palm, and her eyes focused on the small bottle that the younger woman pushed over. She knew it was a hangover cure, and she silently looked at it before opening the cap. Without thinking twice, she put the contents into her mouth. Tammy watched what the older woman was doing, and she silently shook her head before moving her hand toward the toast on the plate in front of her. It was time for breakfast, and she ha

“Mom, are we really going to stay overnight at Grandma's house today?” Glancing in the rearview mirror to look into the back seat, Jessica could see how her son kept swinging his legs while asking the question. His cute movements only showed that the blonde boy was very excited to hear his mother's answer. But, this wasn't even the first time Shane had asked that question, and Jessica actually had answered the same question before. Thankfully, Jessica didn't get tired of hearing her son's excitement, and she smiled while shaking her head helplessly before answering, "We're going to have a sleepover at Grandma's house for real, but why are you so excited about that, Shane?" Jessica could keep glancing at the boy because she didn't need to focus on driving. But, the answer to her question came not from her son but from her daughter, "That's because Grandma promised us that she would tell us more stories about Grandpa, Mommy! We wonder if Grandpa is more like me or Shane!" "Of cou

“What is 'proposing,' Mommy? Why do you keep saying that word?” Impatiently, Shane continued to pull the side of Jessica's shirt while asking the question. It was indeed the little boy who responded to Jessica even though the question was directed at Noah. But, that didn't upset the woman, and instead, she looked satisfied as she smiled at the boy before answering, “You'll have to ask your favorite Daddy about that word, Shane. He would know more than me about that word.” Jessica did direct her answer to her son, but her eyes glanced at Noah when she said her last sentence. Noah looked cornered, he even tried to look away from the mother and son pair. The artificial light around the area reflected on the man's forehead after he took off the cat head, and it looked glistening with sweat, either because of his cat costume or because of his nervousness. Jessica didn't know the reason, but that didn't stop her from staring intently at the man while waiting for his answer. "Proposin

“So, where is your Daddy now? Did he run away after giving my son a stup—a funny task?” Gritting her teeth to suppress her annoyance, Jessica questioned her son, almost failing to restrain herself from uttering the word "stupid." However, it was not her son who responded. Instead, it was her daughter who suddenly tugged on her sleeve, causing her to turn towards the little girl. “Daddy didn't run away, Mom,” the little girl said, and Jessica thought she would continue to say something. That's why Jessica remained silent waiting for her daughter to explain what she had just said, but the little girl didn't say anything and just moved her little hands towards the pink backpack hanging on her back. Jessica didn't know what the girl was doing, but she could see how the girl unzipped her backpack before taking something out of it. To Jessica's surprise, the thing the girl had just taken out of her backpack was a camera. To be pr

In the end, Jessica decided to give Noah a second chance. Yes, a second chance to be closer to her children.The reason behind her decision was that her children really liked Noah since the first time they met at the mall ice cream shop when she accompanied Tammy to buy a birthday present for her husband. It could be said that the ice cream succeeded in buying the kids' love, and they really liked spending time with the person who bought them the ice cream.Actually, that was not a bad thing, but Jessica was quite annoyed by the stubbornness of her children who kept calling Noah "daddy." It was clearly Noah's fault for casually confirming that he was indeed the twins' father, and Jessica continued to curse the man in her heart from that day on.She didn't even realize that a week had passed since her mother left the hospital and started living again in Noah's old apartment. Due to her mother's pleading, she ended up staying in that apartment as well rather

“That… that's too cheesy! Aren't we going to buy food for my mother and children? We better leave now or they will eat us alive if they get too hungry," Jessica tried to change the topic of their conversation when she started to feel nervous because of what Noah had just said to her. She even averted her gaze to look at anything as long as it wasn't Noah's face, and that was why she didn't notice the hopeful expression on the man's face. "You just said that what I said was too cheesy, but you didn't say that you didn't believe what I said," Noah replied, ignoring the fact that Jessica was trying to change the topic of their conversation. Finally, Jessica could no longer avoid the man's face, and she once again looked at him with her pair of blue eyes. At this moment, she could finally see a glimmer of hope in the man's eyes. "To be honest, Tammy has told me everything related to you," Jessica finally said the truth.

“Why didn't you remarry after we divorced five years ago?” Jessica's voice was finally heard in the car. "Is it because you still can't get over Tyler?"Suddenly, Noah sneered before replying, “Do you think I love that man so much that I can't replace him with someone else? I don't know if this information is useful for you or not, but the truth is that I didn't really love him when we were together.""You didn't really love him but you still wanted to be with him even though it meant betraying our marriage," Jessica answered sarcastically, and Noah looked stunned by her answer.For a moment, Noah could only stare at the blonde without being able to utter a word with his mouth, but then he took a deep breath before saying, “I believe love and guilt are two different things, and I differentiated them clearly when I was still with him. I betrayed our marriage because of my feelings of guilt, not because of my love for him.”Jessica was the one who d

Jessica didn't know what to say after hearing Noah just say what was on his mind and heart, but for some reason, she felt familiar with the situation. The familiar feeling she felt in her heart made her anxious, her hands even moved to grip her jeans tightly as if asking for support from the blue fabric.“You probably think that my situation is similar to your children's situation, right?”Jessica felt her heart stop beating for a moment after hearing what Noah had just asked. It was actually impossible for her heart to stop beating while she was still alive, but she was truly surprised by the question. She finally understood why she felt anxious about Noah's story. That was because the story reminded her of her children.“I am the illegitimate child of that billionaire, and your children are the same even if their father is not a billionaire. They are very young now, but their lives are probably as full of drama as mine. Their lives will be full of lies a
Me, My Husband, and His Boyfriend 233. Noah's Dramatic Life
After everything that happened to her five years ago, Jessica really didn't like surprises. Back then, many unexpected things happened to her, and none of them were pleasant surprises. That was why she felt traumatized by unexpected things, but today, she kept getting unexpected things since she came to the hospital to see her mother.First, a surprise came in the form of Noah, and second, it was in the form of the fact that her mother ended up living in Noah's old apartment. As if that wasn't enough, Noah then told her that he wanted to discuss a matter with her alone, and in the end, Jessica could only follow the man's lead.They were once again in Noah's car, and Jessica had fastened her seat belt. She prepared to look for something for her mother and her children's lunch, but she was puzzled because Noah did not start the car immediately.“Did you forget your wallet?” Confused, Jessica asked the man while looking at him.Her thinking was indee

In fact, Jessica had no plans at all to get into her ex-husband's car. Even her ex-husband's appearance at the hospital was not her plan at all, but in the end, she could only surrender and agree to get into the vehicle.Her mother first sat in the second row of seats with the twins, and she had no choice but to take the passenger seat next to the driver's seat. On the way to her mother's house, Noah, her mother, and the twins continued to chat happily about everything, but Jessica remained silent. None of those people seemed to notice her, and that was why she was lost in thought during the journey.She was actually drowned by the fact that she was passing through a route that she used to travel in the past. She didn't know her mother's new address, but she was sure that every street the car took was familiar to her eyes. It brought a feeling of nostalgia that both warmed and chilled her heart.At first, she ignored the familiarity she felt, assuming that
