"Miss Weisberg, what do you mean?" 

Just a moment ago Alicia defended her, a moment later she pushed all the blame on her. Alicia has always been a considerate sister, but it seems like she turned upside down today.

"You're too naive Jessie. You should do it right, if you really need that money. You can come to talk to me and I'll gladly help you." Alicia continued her words with a thoughtful exhortation. Closed the gap of suspicion that had appeared in the corner of Jessica's heart.

Such a scheme… It's easy for Alicia to frame her, but why?

"I—I really didn't do something like this, Miss Weisberg. Please trust me!"  Jessica didn't want to beg for forgiveness like this, she was completely innocent.

"Well, say you didn't do this, then how do you explain the existence of that five million dollars on your account?"

Jessica could think about anything but someone hacking into her bank account.  This meticulous work can't just happen by a false error… they’re too specific. 

"Okay, for now you can return the five million dollars to the company account. Afterward, I will try my best to defuse the internal audit board's disappointment and see if you can avoid the punishment.”

Jessica could barely answer Alicia's question. Her suspicions vaporized when she heard the solution, but her anxiety couldn't be greater.

For goodness sake! It’s even no longer in Jessica’s account, that damned money has moved into her mother's account. Jessica wasn't even sure that her mother could just let all that money sit idle without a touch. 

Will there be money left to return? Her mother said it was for her brother's tuition fee. How would she explain it to her poor little brother!

"Miss Weisberg, that money… Could you give me some time to return it?"  Jessica timidly asked.

Alicia snorted, "Jess, stop playing around. You said you didn't take the money, but it was already in your account. We just asked for it back and you will get forgiveness. Is it hard for you?"

This was truly more difficult than what Alicia had mentioned.  Although it looks easy.

"Miss Weisberg, to be honest, the money is not in my account right now. They have moved to my mother's account."

"You mean you stole it and gave it to your mother?"  Alicia came up with accusations.

"No! I really didn't steal it, Miss Weisberg."  Jessica defended herself once again.

"If you didn't mean to take the money, then why did you give it to your mother?"

"I swear! I don't know how they got to my mother's account."  Jessica was desperate.  Her tears began to drip. She had never experienced this kind of fear in her life.

No one can see but Alicia's lips smiled bitterly before giving Jessica a solution she could offer. "Then…  I will loan you another five million dollars to replace the company funds,"

Jessica looked at Alicia. It was a pretty good solution for now, but it meant that she would owe a sizable sum. It will take several years to pay off. Jessica was a little afraid to accept it, but even more afraid of her situation.

"Miss Weisberg... It’s so generous of you. Although, I’m afraid of how can repay—”

"It is okay, there are many ways to repay me. I don't need anything much right now, but I you insist on repaying me, " Alicia looked troubled to say: "how about you steal Theodore from me? Seduce him and get him away from me."

Hearing Alicia come up with such a request, Jessica's tears stopped flowing.  Of all the requests that Alicia could ask for, she could not possibly choose such a request all of a sudden. "That would be nice if you would help me on that one."

"Helping you by stealing Theodore?" Jessica digested the request carefully.

"Yes, if you could do that I will help solve your problem properly. I will immediately send the replacement funds to your account."

Jessica could count on how many times Alica made such a request. Alicia became very clear with her request. “... I'm sorry but tell the truth, Alicia. Are you the one who set me up?"

Seeing what benefits that Alicia might get by trapping her, Jessica could only be sure that the scheme was one thing that Alicia had planned. She had been trapped by Alicia.

"Oh, dear. Do you think I'll have the heart to trap you like this? Jessie, even though my desire to get away from Theodore was that strong, I can't possibly have the heart to do this to you. Think back, I always  thought of you as my own sister."

"This couldn't be clearer, Miss Weisberg. If it weren't you, who else would trap me in a scheme like this and then ask such a request in return.”

It’s upsetting for Jessica to think further about it. Should Alicia go this far to take advantage of her? It’s not like she would go with the plan, but they could come up with another solution. 

"I know the situation is regrettable for both of us. You know best what the engagement means to me and things related to Theodore. I've always aligned myself with Theodore to maintain our relationship, still I can't force everyone to accept Theodore the way I do. For some people…”

Someone else … "Could it be, Mr. Weisberg?"

Jessica had no other name that she could name as a suspect.  Isn't this too lowly for Mr. Weisberg do?

    "Could it be… Mr. Weisberg?" "You know it can’t be helped, right? I'm sorry, I can't do anything about this." Alicia shows her regret about his father's 'doings'. As if to confirm that Jessica was indeed trapped by Alistair Weisberg. Jessica looked at Alicia with complicated thoughts. Regarding that request that Alicia made, it was completely beyond her control. "Can't you just find another woman to do this?" "I've thought about it, I also don't want to sacrifice our friendship, but I think my father has his plans. He trusts you too much, he thinks you and Theodore are well acquainted with each other. It will be easier and faster if you are the one who handles Theodore for me." What's easy? Defeating a tiger-like Theodore would you call it easy? "Miss Weisberg, to be honest, I don't even have the confidence for this. How could I possibly attract Theodore's attention? This plan is too far-fetched." "Don't be discouraged by yourself, Jess.

    Jessica sent a message that asked Theodore to pick up Alicia. It’s a bit odd, usually Alicia would call him herself so Theodore immediately called Alicia. He made several calls but no one went through. Alicia's number was currently off.Ignoring Aaron's whining, Theodore ended up calling Jessica."Let me talk to Alicia," Theodore's stern words sounded icy as always. It was even worse because he had to call Jessica to reach Alicia. Seems like he will scold Alicia later for not picking her phone. "I'm sorry, Miss Weisberg is in the restroom. Her phone is off, so she asked me to call you. Can you come to pick us—I mean, pick her up. The driver is having trouble with the car engine. If we wait for another car from the company, it will take a while. It's getting dark here. I heard that you’re forbidding Miss Weisberg to take a ta—""Alright, that’s enough.

    "Take you home?" Theodore turned around angrily."Yes, I was here waiting for you. Can't you be a little responsible.""What responsibility? You're the one who stupid enough to stand here alone waiting for me. How dare you ask me to take responsibility?" That piece of the sentence was a little strange if you only heard the last sentence.The security even started glancing at Jessica and Theodore, to make sure whether the two of them were in an irresponsible lover's fight? Because she sounded like a woman who had been dumped."If you can't take me. At least, let me have a ride to the city to get the bus."Theodore had never seen Jessica possessed such courage. He didn't know she could go this far and grumble. They had never interacted or talked so casually like this. Jessica had always been polite and rather timid. What drives her to act so shamelessly?"What if I don't want to give you a ride? You can take a taxi to go home by yourself.”That was what Jessica wanted too. She also

    Theodore pulled her bag and abruptly unpacked it without asking. There weren't many things that she had brought. So Theodore immediately found a small bottle of the suspicious liquid. That must be where all the smell came from."Hey, what are you doing?""You know, this thing stinks!" Theodore held the perfume bottle in front of Jessica's face.Well, I know it's not an expensive perfume.The price is probably half that of a bottle of branded perfume. But she fell in love with the fragrance when she first smelled it from the sample paper the sales offered. She didn’t contemplate too much and bought it right away. "Don't ever use this perfume ever again!" Theodore reprimanded her and threw the perfume bottle into the back seat."NO! What the hell—" Jessica turned to the back seat. Where did the perfume fall?Theodore immediately started the car, not giving Jessica a chance to find her precious perfume.Aish .. Jessica felt so lost. She just bought the perfume last week and only

    "Old man, don't get in our way. Go find another place to make out!" A fat girl pushed Theodore to make a way. There are five girls behind her. There's very likely a high schooler in their fifteen or sixteen. They’re quite catchy with some kind of fan attribute attached all over their body. "Cammy, don't be rude!" Said the other girl with a big headband. "I’m sorry uncle, my friend is a bit impatient." Who do they call uncle? Theodore frowned. He’s ready to refute it but another girl shouted excitedly. "Geez, what a beauty!” The girl was stunned as she looked at Jessica's face. ”Are you a celebrity?" “No, I’m not.” Jessica's face flushed with embarrassment. “Don’t flatter me, I think I’m not that pretty.” Even though it was late at night, with the light from the convenience store, those girls could see Jessica's face clearly. They’re noisy with each other discussing whether they should ask for photos or not. "No, we’re being honest. You’re indeed as beautiful as the idol we

    “Theodore!” No! It is a bit different than before. She just repeated with a loud and disrespectful tone. It sounds like an insult when Theodore realizes it. They never had a chance to call each other so casually. After all, they had never been so close before to address each other's names. What’s with the sudden change…"It seems like you are underestimating me." Theodore's hand gripped her jaw, pressing her head against the wall.It sent the chill back of her head throbbed in pain from hitting the wall. It was wrong to think Theodore will soften up. He might put bandages on her and walk her home. In reality, he was only a demon who knew how to deceive outsiders with his appearance. "I think you need to understand a few things!" Theodore pressed harder.Jessica was too scared to move under Theodore's threat. Her head also continued to throb uncomfortably. Did he finally decide to kill her tonight?What she didn't know, that man in front of her had to go through self-contradicti

    She teased me first!Theodore refused to feel guilty for what he would or had done to her. Alas, he’s afraid if Aaron meant it and called Alicia now. "Don't you dare to call her! I’ll send you the number now." Theodore hung up the phone. Pressed a few features and immediately sent Jessica's contact to Aaron. After Aaron's disturbance was resolved, Theodore pushed her again into a corner. He choked her up, so that her voice was barely audible. "H—help!" Theodore was strangling her earnestly. The demon inside telling him to devour her. On second thought, Aaron's voice buzzed in his head: This would count as cheating! It reached the point where he can differentiate between the passion surging him or the frustration stirring his anger. Upon starting his relationship with Alicia, he had pledged himself to be a loyal man. So far the defense has been good. He was able to ignore the dozens of women who threw themselves at him.In the past, Theodore might have tasted a few that were ta

I'm sure my voice doesn't sound like Alicia’s." Aaron toned up his voice to make it sounded masculine and clear enough to hear. Yet the answer on the other end of the phone is still amiss.[ Ah! Yes, Miss. I'm home.]"What?" Aaron gets confused at every answer Jessica says.She must be drunk or have hearing problems. Other exchanges following are also off the mark.

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.
