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’
Confession of My Untamed Best Friend Chapter 58 – What Matters To Me
(Aiden’s POV) I opened my mouth to answer, but then Jessamine shook her head, rolled her eyes, and laughed. “You can’t be Adam Knight,” Jessamine muttered, narrowing her eyes as she studied my face. Her lips twitched, then she shook her head again. “I saw him once on the Internet. ‘Got curious, but… nah!” Although she let go of the topic easily, my heart still pounded wildly. “I could be him.” I should have said I am him, not could be. This was my chance to tell her everything, especially about my father, Naomi, and the child she was carrying. But Jessamine shrugged, grinning as she turned around, facing the coffee table. “Cake?” she asked, glancing over her shoulder. When I didn’t answer, she turned to me and grabbed my hands, leading me to the couch. “I’ve been eating cake alone for nine years, Aiden. This year, I’m finally sharing it with you.” I nodded, gazing at her lovingly, forgetting about everything else. What mattered now was the present… Just Jessamine. “Make a wish
Confession of My Untamed Best Friend Chapter 59 – Captivated, Bewitched
(Aiden’s POV)“You planned this all along,” Jessamine murmured, covering her mouth as it remained open after seeing what was set up near the lake.A picnic basket and another bouquet of red roses sat prettily on the red picnic mat. Nearby, wood sticks stood in a pyramid, ready for the bonfire. Solar string lights were decorated on the trees, and a pellet grill was a few steps away from the tent.“I asked for Morris’ help,” I grinned, taking the cake box from her and placing it on the mat. “He and his men were sure fast.”Jessamine was still standing, gaping in surprise. She blinked, glancing at our excited dog when it saw the peaceful lake. She took off the leash, letting Charlie run happily to the shoreline. He looked in our direction, barking as if calling her, and when she didn’t move, he didn’t attempt to go deeper. Our dog was simply happy and contented with his paws wet, then ran back to us.“Aiden,” she blinked, breathing shakily as she turned her head on me. “Why did you spen
