Is she absent today?Theodore was curious and wonder. Jessica wasn't at her desk when he came to visit Alicia's office this afternoon. He never cared before, but that empty table was a bit annoying today. Jessica did have a good reason not to come to work. She might be trying to avoid him for what he did last night. That scared cat must be hidingAs usual Theodore greeted Alicia with a brief kiss. However, Theodore acted a bit impatient today, he played abruptly hard from the beginning. Somehow he missed every inch of Alicia's lips.Ah… If he kissed Jessica, would it feel like this?The thought that suddenly appeared kinda disgusted him. He immediately let go of Alicia the moment that thought appeared. What is so sudden?"Did you sleep late last night?" Theodore's large hand ran through Alicia's hair. Caressing her gently and wholeheartedly."No. I went to bed as soon as I got home. What's wrong?""N-no, that's okay. It's just… you look tired as if you're not getting enough r
"Did he give you a warning or something?" Terence asked again. "I'm fine, Terry. Thank you for asking.""Really? Don't try to trick me." Terence blocked her way and insisted on checking.Terence Calvert is Alistair's right hand. He had been Alicia's secretary before. This man was also the one who guided and taught Jessica to become an excellent secretary. It was rather difficult for him to ignore his little subordinate."You better keep nothing from me. You're like a little sister to me, Jess."Jessica smiled a little—a little bitterly. "Yes, I know that Terry."Terence may not be as handsome or as capable as Theodore, but he deserves to be called a woman's dream. Too bad Terence only saw her as a younger sister.Terence was very concerned about Jessica. She once wished they had something, but the clever Terence immediately made his boundaries clear. Their relationship was only limited to coworkers if more so because Terence had considered Jessica like his own younger sisterJess
"Mr. Coldrick! Since when were you here?" Jessica asked but she completely ignored Theodore and sat down on her chair.Theodore walked after her and leaned against the table. "Wasn't that man just now Alistair's secretary?" he asked."Yes, he is." Jessica replied while turning on the computer, returning to work she left off."So… You like that kind of guy?" he asked again though Jessica completely ignored him. She turns a deaf ear to that kind of question since it has no relation to work. "Are you ignoring me?" Theodore stomps the desk to get Jessica’s attention. .Jessica didn't know that Theodore was a talkative man. Usually, he just spoke casually. On many occasions he didn't even bother to excuse himself when he walked into Alica's room. Who is the man in front of her right now?Jessica stood up and lowered her head respectfully then smiled with formality. "My apologies, Sir. I have no obligation to answer the question you asked earlier." The tone of voice she uses is
"Theo, why are you still here?" When Alicia walked out of her room. She found Theodore was in front of Jessica's desk, staring at the little woman with an indescribable look. "Oh, Miss Weisberg!" Jessica rose to her feet and saluted. Ready to take orders from her boss. Alicia didn’t take heed to little Becker, she’s only to Theodore. It's been quite a while since Theodore said goodbye to Alicia and left her room. She thought Theodore had left the office "I thought you were gone. Did you forget something?" "No, nothing. I just exchanged opinions with Miss Becker." Theodore was a little nervous when he answered Alicia. Damn, why does it feel weird like this? "Exchange opinions?" "Uh-um… Mr. Coldrick has just asked me for some suggestions for the surprise he is preparing for you." Jessica made an effort to cover for Theodore. "Really? You're preparing a surprise for me?" "Oh, yes, but it should be a secret. Now that Miss Becker has said, it’s no longer a surprise at all. F
"I say this as your big brother. Don't see Alicia too often or she will get feed up. Aren't you afraid that will happen?""Just because it happened to you, it doesn't mean the same thing will happen to me. Alicia isn't that kind of woman you think and I'm not a fool like you.""Is that so? You're just lucky that Alicia is more mature than you. If only she was a little younger then she wouldn't have put up with you." "Yes, thank you. That is indeed an advantage for me. Why don't you find a mistress with a mature mind for you to have? That way you have a woman for you to take care of instead of meddling with my business with Alicia."Benjamin got up from his chair in anger. What was that Theodore mean? Did he told him to date an old woman? "I never bothered you. So stop commenting on me and Alicia. We were fine!"“Right, just wait and see how long will Alicia endure your attitude. You are no different from me. We share the same DNA, so I know very well how you and Alicia will end up s
"What are you doing back there? Come out and move to the front Jess! Theodore is not your driver." Alicia shouted from the window."Ah, yes, Miss Weisberg. I'm sorry!" After being reprimanded by Alicia, Jessica immediately got out of the car and moved to the front seat, beside Theodore."Theo, I entrust Miss Becker to you. Drive carefully, okay." Alicia waved away.After seeing Alicia disappear behind the door, then Theodore started the engine and prepared to leave again. He briefly glanced at Jessica who was now beside him. She has deftly put on her seat belt. Unlike the last time, Jessica took away Theodore's chance to approach her. "Looks like you're getting used to sitting in the front seat."Jessica knew Theodore was teasing her. "It's because I always sit in front when you bring this car," Jessica innocently answered.Yes, indeed, if Theodore uses an SUV, Jessica will usually sit in the front seat with the driver, while he and Alicia sit in the back. So she was quite famil
Tonight Jessica came home safely. Theodore desperately held back the desire inside of him. Fortunately today Jessica's scent was not like yesterday, otherwise, it was certain that he would pounce on her when he had the chance.Still, Theodore was overwhelmed because that little woman suddenly controlled her wild thoughts."Woah.. what are you doing here at this hour? Where is Alicia? Shouldn't you two be spending the night together?" Theodore yanked his vodka glass onto the table. A sign for Harry not to continue with his comments. He only needs a companion to drink, not someone to give him advice. After becoming Alicia's lover, it was rare for Theodore to sit at the bar and drink himself too drunk. He almost became a monk for trying to stay away from liquor at Alicia's request. Luckily there were some concessions and exceptions for Theodore. Although the exception does not include when something happens between them.Theodore was about to lose control and fuck that woman's request
"You imposter! Don't ever call yourself my Jess!"Theodore choked Jesslyn with his hands."The-Theo ..." that wench started to wriggle and begged Theodore for forgiveness."Hey, Theo, calm yourself. Let her go!" Harry also couldn't sit still looking at Theodore who was in a trance.He had to stop Theodore before he killed someone with his hands."Look at this ugly face, you have absolutely no quality to call yourself our Jessie." Theodore was so disgusted that he even spat because of Jesslyn.Jesslyn is starting to have trouble breathing now. Her tears melted in a mixture of fear and pain. If Theodore didn't let her go soon, she might die tonight."You dirty bitch!" Theodore threw Jesslyn to the floor as tears ran down his arms. He immediately cleans his hands after that like he has touched trash.The smart girls who were there immediately pulled Jesslyn away from Theodore for their safety. No one else dared to approach Theodore anymore. Those who were brave enough were only sta
"Lemme pay for it."Theodore held up his card, volunteering to pay. He held Alicia's hand as the woman took out her purse. Theodore always paid for the dresses that Alicia bought when they shopped together."Why? There’s no need. I’ll pay for this. I’m the one intended to give her a proper dress."This dress is not for her, why should Theodore pay for it? Alicia found it strange to let Theodore pay for Jessica. Well, except for food. A luxurious dress with Theodore's money was excessive to give.After convincing Theodore, Alicia went to the cashier to pay for Jessica's dress.Theodore glanced at the card in his hand and put it back in his wallet. Initially, he had no intention to draw the card to pay. However, after seeing the last dress Jessica wore, his hands were so excited and itchy. Theodore felt compelled to pay for the dress.Even though it was just a glance, he knew Jessica looked remarkable. That bare back of hers, how could he touch it?The store employee came out of the ch
"You want me to try on these dresses?"Jessica thought they were picking a dress for Alicia to wear tonight. She glanced at the dozen or so dresses that Alicia had chosen. She was a bit hesitant because all the dresses that Alicia chose were revealing and unfitting to her taste. The problem wasn't just the models of the dresses but that there was Theodore with them.Ever since Theodore bit her ear yesterday, Jessica didn't dare to look at him. She kept her distance and interactions with that man today. Theodore was watching her every move intently.Theodore realized he had been bewitched by this little Becker and there was no turning back. He enjoyed stealing glances to observe Jessica while wondering inside: When could I kiss her again?"Jessie, I want you to perform properly tonight. So, let's make yourself stand out a bit more than usual." Then Alicia whispered her devious plan under her breath, “remember, you have a duty to take Theodore away from me.”Jessica swallowed hard. Sh
Alistair could have stopped Theodore's mischievous activities, but how could he have ruined such a perfect occasion? That would be an opening to go against Theodore’s relationship with his beloved daughter.The brat that once swore all his love and promised to be faithful to Alicia. But in fact what… he's just a mischievous kid who hasn't grown up and can’t keep his words.Alistair deliberately didn't stop him. What he saw today was still not strong enough to make accusations and make it an excuse to break the engagement. They needed something even stronger that Theodore couldn't possibly deny.…Alistair stepped into Alicia's room after confirming that Theodore had come down. Jessica did not immediately salute, this poor woman still seemed to be shocked by what Theodore had done to her.It was only when Alistair made a sound then Jessica noticed his presence. "Is there anything I can help you with, Sir?""I just want to look for Alicia." Alistair's eyes scanned Jessica, seeing if The
Did he intend to do a public display of affection in the banquet?Alicia wouldn’t mind if it was in their environment. However, Whitaker's banquet would definitely be a different place. Most of the guests on the invitation were her seniors. Showing off the relationship in such an environment is not a good idea unless they are a married couple.Alicia didn't like the idea. She could imagine the result. If the seniors found out they were just lovers they would have advised her to immediately go to the registry office and sign the marriage certificate.Well! It will not happen. Alicia didn't plan on marrying Theodore. All she wanted was to part with him immediately."Come on... you will come to the party with me!" Now it no longer sounds like a question.Alicia knew Theodore was giving her an order. She could not ignore but accompany him to the party.Ah, shit! Jessica shouldn't have brought the invitation into her room and announced it clearly in front of Theodore. Remind her to charge
Theodore had informed Alicia that he would not be able to visit her office that afternoon either, but Theodore would still pick her up in the evening. So, Alicia thought she didn't need to try those cheap perfumes in a hurry. She would just spray it before Theodore came. What happened was that Alicia forgot to try it completely after she found out how ‘bad’ the perfume was and unfortunately Theodore actually did his inspection work on Alicia. "Didn't you try the perfume I sent you this afternoon?" asked him. When Theodore hugged Alicia this evening, he knew it immediately that Alicia had not used the perfume he gave. Theodore was somewhat familiar with Alicia's scent and he became disappointed that Alicia didn't smell as good as he expected. "Uh, I've tried them of course. Maybe it's because I don't use them enough or… maybe because they don't last long enough. You know, those perfumes are a bit different from what I'm used to." Alicia wanted to say it was a cheap perfume, but of c
"Ugh, Theo… stop!” it was too sudden so Alicia pushed Theodore away because she wasn't prepared for the hard kiss."Let's not talk about Jessica anymore. I don't like her. Let's not mention other women or even other men among us. Okay?" Theodore cupped Alicia's face with his big hands."Do you hate her that much?"It’s not because Theodore hates her, but because he could barely control himself when he heard Jessica's name being mentioned. His mind was wild and uncontrollable at the thought of that little woman.Theodore was reluctant to answer Alicia. He took a lighter step this time as he touched Alicia's lips again. At least each of these touches calmed his frantic nerves. He felt better as his
Theodore finished all his work as soon as possible and decided to go home early today. This afternoon he did not dare to visit Alicia because of the rest of the hangover last night. Now it's all completely gone.It hasn't even been a day yet but he really wanted to see Alicia. He missed her dearly. He wanted to quickly meet Alicia."It's sunny today. Your car has been washed… or would you take the SUV again today? " Sir Ezra reminded Theodore. He knew that his master was going on a date so the choice of a car must be very important.Theodore didn't take long to think. He prefers his BMW over that spacious Lamborghini SUV. "Yes, bring my usual car."After all, what was the point if he couldn't catch Jessica in
"Who is it, don't you want to pick it up?"Seeing an unfamiliar number appear on the screen, Jessica got nervous and was reluctant to pick it up. It was quite strange for Alicia, so Alicia preceded Jessica to pick up the phone.[Is this really Miss Becker?]Later they found out it was a male voice. Alicia gave her a look that said, ‘great you’re hiding a boyfriend all along?’Jessica was about to take over her phone but Alicia still had no intention of returning it to her. She was still curious about who the man was."Yeah, is the
"Why? Because… she smells so good and I want to kiss her," said Theodore again. “Cough! Ah, had I kissed her?” then he laugh stupidly. "What? Already… are you nuts!" Harry was mad about Theodore's confession. Now he’s gonna be someone who wants to strangle Theodore.“Haha... Why do you look so weird? Relax, I'm just kidding boy."“Theo, tell me, did you do it or not!” Harry tried not to yell but emphasized his words.“Of course not, I haven’t. Should I do it?” He makes Herry more frustrated. "Seriously, man. If you don't want to make trouble bigger you have to watch your mouth and your actions. I know Jessica is attractive but she was Alicia's secretary. Stay away from her. Just tell Alicia that you want her so desperately and fucked her already.”“NO! How could I do that against her will?” “Why? She loves you. You’re engaged already and I know you were planning to get married. It should be take after the new year. ?”“She's just a bit conservative, Harry. She had a norm to keep.
