Confession of My Untamed Best Friend Chapter 50 – I Almost Did
(Jessamine’s POV)Without my brother knowing, Charlie and I crashed at his apartment. Thinking he could fix my heart, I went to his place, waiting patiently, and while I cried my heart out, Charlie was also whimpering like he knew that Aiden and I had broken up… as best friends.The clicking sound from the doorknob made me jump, waking Charlie from his sleep on Benedict’s couch.“Finally!” I took my phone, glancing at the time, and groaned, seeing it was past midnight already. I stood up and walked to the main door, waiting for it to open.“Jesus Christ!” Benedict’s body jerked, startled when my brother saw me standing in the dark. His hand groped for the switch, turning on the lights.“Not even close.” I clucked my tongue and sighed. “You should have said either Mary or Magdalene. That would be acceptable,” I said, walking back to the couch. “Didn’t the great palace clock remind you it’s past midnight?”“I’m not Cinderella. I’m a doctor,” he answered, closing and locking the door. “H
Confession of My Untamed Best Friend Chapter 51 – Not My Second Aiden
(Jessamine’s POV)Why was my birthday a big deal to everyone when I didn’t even care about it? Deborah kept pacing the living room, and if Charlie could talk, he would probably ask her to stop because she was making us dizzy. I tried to focus on my laptop’s screen, browsing and reading important emails from possible suppliers and applicants, and some were from Sasha. I read her emails but didn’t reply to any of her messages because I was still pissed and embarrassed the last time we met.“Are you sure you’re okay to be alone today?” Deborah glanced at me worriedly.“Yeah,” I nodded, looking at her briefly and returned my eyes to my laptop’s screen. “Why wouldn’t I be okay? And why do you look soooo guilty?” I chuckled, teasing her.“Because I always miss your birthday,” she pouted and sighed as she sat beside me, hugging me tightly.I chuckled. “Deb, it’s not your fault I was born on the same day as Xavier’s parents’ wedding anniversary.” I eased back, narrowing my eyes as I looked at
Confession of My Untamed Best Friend Chapter 52 – Another Danger Ahead
(Jessamine’s POV)I breathed slowly, inhaling and exhaling as I glanced, shifting at the perfect blue sky and the coffee shop where Luke and I would meet. I had not seen him for almost four years, and though it was a clean breakup, I still felt guilty for breaking up with him when he didn’t do anything but love me.“For goodness sake, I’m not going on a date,” I murmured nervously, taking another look at my face in the small mirror in the car's sun visor. “I’m not going on a date, okay?” I sneered at Charlie when he turned his head to me. “We’re doing business for Daddy. This is for Daddy.”The puppy barked, and I hoped he agreed with me, not repeating what Deborah had said earlier. What would Aiden say?I didn’t know why I was nervous when this was nothing but a mere interview like what I did with the other applicants the other day. I consulted Deborah and Xavier about their qualifications, and they agreed that neither seemed to have the heart and skills to manage a new venture. Ther
Confession of My Untamed Best Friend Chapter 53 – The Battle of Heart and Mind
(Jessamine’s POV)“Good?” I raised my eyebrows, forcing a half-smile as I reached for my coffee.Look down. Look down! But I couldn’t. I found myself staring thoughtfully back at him while my heart and mind were dwelling on why I had broken up with Luke. If not for the table between us, he might have kissed me and…Charlie barked, probably reminding me why I was here in the first place. My puppy might have accepted that Aiden and I had broken up… as best friends, but his loyalty would still be on his Daddy.I cleared my throat and sighed, successfully escaping from his gaze.“I’m sorry, Jess. I got overexcited seeing you again,” he muttered truthfully and smiled apologetically.“The interview?” I lifted my cup, sipping coffee, hoping it would calm my heart instead of accelerating its beating.Right now, it was my brain that I needed to be quick in thinking and picking up the words to get Luke onto the ship without complicating my life. I didn’t want Aiden to believe I was getting back
Confession of My Untamed Best Friend Chapter 54 – The Chance
(Jessamine’s POV)After a long pause, I nodded.Luke blinked, then stared at me with confusion and excitement in his eyes. “Does that mean I get the job, Jess?” He asked, clarifying what my gesture meant. “Are you giving me a chance?”Like him, I was confused about giving the job to him. Deborah might be right; I was getting back at Aiden.“Don’t be excited much, Luke, because I am only giving you a month,” I answered, swallowing hard before I continued, “and if you cross the line, I’m replacing you immediately.”He knitted his eyebrows and pursed his lips. “That I cannot promise you, Jess.” Then he smiled, “But I’ll deal with my heart later.” His lips curved into a triumphant smile.My heart pounded, realizing Luke had changed. He seemed more determined now than he was four years ago.“Let’s celebrate.” Luke gazed at me, melting me again.I lifted an eyebrow and scoffed. “Celebrate? You know that I don’t celebrate my birthday.”He chuckled nervously, glancing at Charlie, sitting besi
Confession of My Untamed Best Friend Chapter 55 – Where Is Charlie
(Jessamine’s POV)“This is your dream,” Luke smiled when we returned to the garden; his eyes were on the two-floor restaurant.“My dream?” I lifted an eyebrow, glancing at him and then at the construction.Morris told me Aaron wanted the production area done in three months to have the business running while waiting for the restaurant, which should be done in six months. Aaron and Sasha were throwing a lot of money into Adilene’s, which pressured me because anyone could tell it would take time before this place became profitable.Luke nodded. “Yeah. Do you remember the project you wrote for our entrepreneurship class? This was quite similar to that.”“Really?” I narrowed my eyes, trying to remember it, then shook my head. “I wrote about an ice cream shop business, Luke,” I corrected him.He glanced at me, smiling as he nodded. “Yep… and I remember telling you it should be a coffee shop instead of an ice cream shop since you wanted people to read and relax.” He laughed, raising his han
Confession of My Untamed Best Friend Chapter 56 – Officially Yours
(Jessamine’s POV)“Adam Knight?”Adam Knight? I heard about it when Deborah and Xavier argued about him. Like my friend, I checked on this guy and was surprised he looked like him. But at that time, Aiden was with me, and this Adam guy was spotted abroad. As if playing a spot-the-difference game, I could list many similarities, but there were also many differences. Maybe this Adam Knight, being young and wealthy, made a big distinction. Adam looked powerful, genius, focused, and aloof, unlike my Aiden. If he was Adam Knight, it was something Aiden would never keep from me.I raised my eyebrows, switching glances to Luke and Aiden. The way Luke narrowed his eyes as he stared at Aiden, I knew he was unsure.“He’s a doppelganger,” I joked.“I’m the doppelganger?” Aiden scoffed, rolling his eyes.“Yeah,” I sneered, then turned to Luke and forced a smile. “He gets that a lot. I mean, not the doppelganger… Umm… He looks like Adam, but he’s not.” I explained to Luke.Aiden grabbed my hand,
Confession of My Untamed Best Friend Chapter 57 – Are You Adam Knight?
(Aiden’s POV)“Did you tell her?” Sasha asked.I walked toward the balcony, sighing as I watched Jessamine talk to Luke. Besides Xavier, whom she had always considered her brother, I had never seen my best friend, now officially my girlfriend, be comfortable with another man. It should be comforting, her trusting a college friend to run the business, but knowing he was an ex, her first boyfriend, and the first man who claimed her territory, jealousy squeezed my heart.“How can I tell her, Sasha, when I saw her crying when she thought she lost Charlie?” I muttered, gritting my teeth, hating Luke as he raised his hand to take off the leaf“Charlie’s missing? She lost Charlie?” There was panic in her voice.“Sasha, you’re not listening. She thought she lost Charlie,” I corrected. Although it worried me too when she told me our puppy was missing, I knew we would find him. He is a smart dog, just like his mother.“So, when are you going to tell her?” She asked, back to her old agenda. “I’
