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
It was Aaron.Back at that time, after receiving Jessica's phone number from Theodore, Aaron made up his mind and decided to call the number right away. The call came in and immediately connected, "good evening, is this Miss Becker's number?"[ Hello, Miss Weisberg.] That soft voice answering him was indeed Jessica, but why did she mention Alicia's name?"Hello, is there a problem? 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. As it’s if Jessica was talking to Alicia on the phone, not him. It got him frustrated. "Are you still with Theodore?" Aaron had this suspicion. It was only a while ago, Could it be that Theodore's presence had contributed to this strange
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
"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.
