"Unless Theo likes another woman and breaks the engagement by himself?!"
Jessica looked surprised at her boss's thought. Imagining how cold and temperamental Theodore is when Alicia is not around. He’s like an untamed tiger which does not let anyone get close. "Is that possible? Mr. Coldrick loves you so much. There's no way he would like another woman."
"Who knows? Theo could suddenly like a woman beside me, then he would leave me voluntarily."
Why hadn't Alicia thought of it for a long time? This idea was better than her breaking up with Theo outright. Alicia only needed a third party to make this happen.
"I don't think Mr. Corldrick would be that easy to fall for another woman. He is a loyal and affectionate man, he can't possibly betray you, miss."
Jessie had her own thoughts, even though Alicia had been constantly complaining about Theodore's attitude to her lately. That woman once adored Theodore.
"He probably won't betray me. But Jessie, you can help me make him betray me."
"I don't get it. What do you mean milady?"
"Jessie, you know how beautiful you are? You have a good body compared to me. You're still young and charming. I thought many men wanted you, didn't you?"
"That’s not like what you see. I don’t even think that I’m pretty, let alone attract a man."
"Jessie, do you have a boyfriend?"
"Um no, I don't have one. I don't think it's time for me to have a boyfriend. I still want to work and pursue my career."
Of course, for a simple girl like Jessie, having a boyfriend just like to dream of a future with a prince on a white horse was only in a fairy tale. The real world was too harsh. She never had the courage and time to imagine a man for herself.
"Great, then it would be an easier way for you to do it."
"Easy way to do what?"
"Be Theodore's lover, take him away from me and I’m sure, you will be the happiest woman in this world."
"Jeez, Miss Alicia! How could I be Sir Coldrick's lover? I would never have dreamed of a man like him." It would take more than just courage and beauty to tame Theodore.
Jessica won't ever imagine it not in a million years. Not only because Theodore was Alicia’s fiance or his bad innate. She was just a peasant compared to Alicia who was a deputy director of Falcon Enterprise. The woman will continue her father's company and marry another heir. A man like Theodore was too inferior for Jessica.
She’s not Cinderella nor does she want to be a cinderella.
Alicia and Theodore are a match made in heaven. There’s no way for Jessica to enter between them.
"Start dreaming then, I will support you. I will give Theodore to you."
"Miss Alica, that can't be happening. Impossible!"
"Remember what I told you, Jessie. There is nothing impossible in this world. You will easily get Theodore with what you have. Look, you are gorgeous, Jessie."
Alicia stroked Jessie's straight, wavy hair. To be honest, Alicia once felt small when she looked at Jessica. Even though Jessica’s considered as a commoner, she grew up well with such a fascinating figure that can bewitch people.
If Alicia were a man he would probably fall in love with Jessica's beauty. So, the idea of giving Theodore to Jessica didn't seem like a difficult matter.
"Think about this, don't you think Theo is a good man? He is also handsome and rich, he is a man who is loving as you say. Don't you want a man like Theo to be your lover?"
[ Is Alicia testing me? ]
"That… can't be. I'm sorry, Alicia." For Jessica to call Alicia name shows how detest her to the idea. She walked out of the pantry to avoid her boss.
…
"Please cancel the cooperation, I will be responsible for the penalty fee."
"Theo, our cooperation with Reiner has been going on for a long time. I also know his father —Rodecrick Allen, well. What should I tell him if we have to cancel this partnership?"
Alistaire Weisberg's thoughts were naturally in sync with his daughter's. Why did they have to cancel their cooperation just because of Theodore? How great is this guy?
"I appreciate your close relationship with Sir Allen, but I object to the interaction between Reiner and Alicia. You might know what I'm worried about"
Mr. Weisber was well aware of what the young man was thinking. He knows how much love Theodore is to his eldest daughter. Only God knows how many times he regrets giving his blessing to Theo. That little rascal was not grown up yet!
How unfortunate for his daughter to attract a young man like Theodore. Was it his past mistakes? Alistaire was willing to return to the past to atone for his sins. Oh, what a poor daughter!
"Give me some time to find a solution to this problem. I will make arrangements so Alicia doesn't have further interactions with Reiner, what do you think?"
"I'll trust you, but I still think it’s better if Alicia doesn't need to see Reiner anymore."
"I'll try my best." Alistair Wesiberg really wanted to curse the young man.
Alas, he didn't have the power anymore. His authority was recently lost. The company crash a year ago forced Alistair to accept Theodore's helping hand to save his company and hand over Alicia in exchange.
At first, Alistair was so arrogant. He didn't like Theodore and opposed his relationship with her daughter. Theodore was several years younger than Alicia, but her daughter insists on a relationship with Theo.The problems with the company changed everything.
Alistair Weisberg once was a little bit grateful that Theodore liked his daughter. Later Thedore’s true nature gradually began to appear and unsettle everyone.
Alistair's initial feeling was right, Theodore was too young to be side by side with her eldest daughter. He should have acted decisively from the start when Alicia got in touch with that knave.
If only he had more power and money.
…
In study room of Weisberg Manor.
"Father, I'm sorry!"
Alicia knelt before her father. She was well aware that she had made a mistake today. Theodore has definitely gone to his father for his ridiculous request.
"If you feel guilty, then stay away from Reiner for now. Don't make anything that provokes Theodore. I will never allow you to cancel our cooperation contract with the Allens."
"I apologize for making a fuss like this, Father." Alicia didn't know how else to regret it.
This father and daughter knew that there was nothing they could do to escape Theodore's snare.
"Please wait a little longer, Father. I'll make Theodore leave me right away."
"Don't be reckless with your actions! We owe him a debt of gratitude. One mistake can ruin the company. The thought of you calling off the engagement with Theodore I will be a jovial one for me but you know it's not something you can do right now."
"I can't break up Theodore, but what if he was the one who decided to break up with me."
"But how? He loves you so much. He is devoted to you dear."
"I know a girl who might win Theodore's heart."
Alistair never thought of this before. His daughter's friendship with Theodore might really end if the man fell in love with another woman. That's a brilliant idea!
"You know since the beginning I never wanted Theodore to be my son-in-law. Are you okay if he leaves you like that?"
Alistair knew that his daughter was also very fond of Theodore. Her daughter had fallen for the charm of that possessive youth that she didn't even hesitate to fight against her father in the past. Has Alicia regained her consciousness?
"I'm fine. I'd feel better if it was good for you too… father"
"Hmph!"Alicia and Theo's bickering was inevitable when they met this morning. An argument that’s always filled with harsh insults and ends in hot passion full of anger. Theodore urged Alicia to the sofa beneath her. Theo couldn't help but flirt with Alicia with his caresses. Sometimes Alicia was quite rude with her mouth and the only way to stop it is to kiss her hard."Theo, let me go!""Not until you forgive me." Theodore threw Alicia back on the sofa and kissed him fiercely.Alicia insisted on not opening her mouth and kept trying to push Theo away from her. If only Theodore wasn't her fiancé, then Alicia would report this as an act of sexual harassment.Feeling that Alicia didn't react to him, Theo launched another attack. His kiss moved to Alicia's earlobe. Theo knew where he had to attack to melt her down. His hands were not carelessly fondling Alicia's body. Alicia's left chest was the best part to tease."Ahh, stop this Theo ..."Theo's kiss was burning and fierce, but his
"Oh, Colrdrick boy. What a coincidence you're here. Are you going to see Alicia?"No!! Jessica couldn't allow Theodore to provoke Reiner and cause chaos here.Jessie must immediately get Reiner away from Theodore. She walks to Reiner's side, grabs his arm and hopes he will voluntarily withdraw himself. "Sir Reiner, I believe Mr. Weisberg has been waiting for you. Let me escort you to meet him." "Ah, yes. I have to see Mr. Wiesbierg," that’s what he said but Reiner still couldn't take his gaze off Theodore. What's so great about that guy? It is said that Alicia was crazy about him and even fought her father to be with Theodore. He’s just a little brat without his father's money. Jessica had already taken a step to lead Reiner away, but Theodore's words stopped them."I'm here for Miss Becker.”Jessica lifted her head abruptly. Did she hear wrong just now? Theodore is here to look for her? What's wrong? More to her surprise, Theodore never called her by her name let alone address
"Alright, Alicia is indeed amazing, but she is not as young as she seems. Don't you feel something by dating an older woman?"Until today, no one dared to comment on Theodore, let alone mentioned his relationship with Alicia. You can offend this Coldrick Junior and he may ignore you afterward, but saying something bad about Alicia is like buying an express ticket to hell."Where are you from huh? Does this country have a law prohibiting our young master from dating a woman who was born earlier than him?" They even put another word rather than old afraid to offend Theodore even more. "Yeah, but wouldn't it taste a little strange." That youngster from overused his feelings when evaluating Theodore’s relationship."No buts! You don't need to use your feelings. Here only our Young Master needs to use all his feelings to love Miss Alicia.""What would it do to you if our young master dated an old woman huh?" the others also spread the spices."Hey, pay attention to what you say a littl
"Who is the little friend who came with Miss Alicia today?"The men from Theodore's camp turned to a lovely figure trailing behind Alicia.A young woman in simpler formal suits. If their eyesight was fine, then they would say that the girl was much more attractive to look at than Alicia. There’s an aesthetic beauty behind the simplicity of the girl's appearance.Aaron was captivated even with just one glance. On the other hand Harry seemed to be lost in thought when he saw that girl. Harry thought he had seen the girl several times. It appeared together with Alicia several times.On closer inspection, it seemed that he had seen the girl elsewhere. Unfortunately, Harry couldn't remember where it was and why he needed to insist on remembering a girl he didn't even know her name."Don't you want to tell me your name, little sweet?" Aaron asks once again. His eyes are very good at sorting out sparkling pearls, I mean girls.The girl didn't respond to Aaron at all. She seemed to pretend
"Eh, Miss Becker, it seems like a cat got your tongue. Can you talk?" Aaron was waiting for an answer from Jessica."Cheer Aaron, take it slowly. Our little girl may be surprised by your generous offer." Another young master advised Aaron."Ah, am I surprised you babe?" Aaron's gaze fixed to Jessica and he intended to come closer to her. Alas, Harry pushed him back to his chair. "That’s enough, Aaron. Don't bother her!" Harry didn't really want to interfere, but something in his head told him to intervene."Why are you also interested in Miss Becker? Wanna play a hero?""My taste is much better than yours. Miss Becker is Alicia's confidant, can't you give her a little respect?""Am I showing an unrespectful attitude toward her, Harry? I’m being nice here, you’re the one accusing me as some kind of jerk. Am I doing something wrong, sister Alicia?"Aaron was basically gutless. A moment ago he tried to tease Theodore by saying Alicia was an old woman. Then he came to harass Alicia's
Alicia understood Jessica felt guilt for her. It wasn't wrong for her to be born after Alicia, to be a young woman, and to have such an attractive face. But Alicia didn't want to accept that apology. This was like admitting the fact that she was indeed an old woman and Jessica was prettier than her."Save you apologize, Jessie. Benedick only said nonsense because he was drunk." Alicia's words sounded more gentel than when she had sold Jessica's identity to Aaron. She sounds like a warm sister now.Alicia was quite satisfied with Theodore's reaction. Her heart healed a little because Theodore was concerned for her. This was one of the reasons why Alicia fell for Theodore's charm. Under no circumstances will the man stand in front and protect her."We're going home now." Theodore embraced Alicia in his arms. There is no reason for them to stay longer at the club. Taking Alicia home meant taking Jessica away as well. Aaron soon found himself about to lose the jewelry he had just fou
"Why hasn’t Miss Becker agreed with your idea regarding Theodore?""Father, I'll have her approval soon. You don't have to worry about this.""Tell me if Miss Becker is not willing to help you. We can find another woman to make Theodore stay away from you.""No, father. It will be difficult to find a woman who can attract Theodore's attention." For some reason, Alicia appeared to be in a deep dilemma when Alistair shared his idea of another woman. "No, you won't find somebody else, only Jessica can do this. Theodore will not fall easily on any woman. Jessica is the best choice we have. Theodore already knows her and it will not be difficult for Jessica to win his heart with her appearance."
"Mom, whose money are you talking about here?""Isn't that all your money? They were sent in the name of your account. I can't be wrong. Girl, if you really want to ask for the excess just tell me. I can't possibly let you live a hard life.""First, I didn't send anything. Second, how much money did you receive, mom?"Jessica knew her mother well, a small amount of money would not make her mother so grateful. There will be no excess money. There was never any extra money that Michelle could save for herself or for her children."It’s 5 million dollars," Michelle immediately stated the amount of money happily. How come did you hide it from me, you should—”
