How she appeared at the hotel today was not according to her original schedule. She was supposed to work at the hotel tomorrow morning, but she received a call from her assistant this morning and ended up changing her fate.
["Sis, you know that flights are usually delayed for various reasons, right? But that's not the case today because our flight is ahead of schedule. We were supposed to fly tomorrow, but the sky can't wait to meet us, and that's why you have to take off right now if you don't want to be scolded by the sky."]That was what her assistant, Tammy Burner, told her this morning. She was not surprised by how her assistant chose such a difficult way to explain the situation to her, and she was able to immediately understand the content of the nonsensical narrative.'The flight' was her schedule, while 'The sky' was the person she would be working with today. In conclusion, her assistant tried to tell her that her schedule to meet the person had been pushed to today and that she should hurry if she didn't want to be late.Jessica couldn't stop cursing her younger assistant when she was just informed about the rescheduling. However, her opinion then changed, and she felt grateful instead because she could finally see her husband's true colors."He's my business partner, Jess. You remember yesterday I left our house for a business trip, right? The business trip is at this hotel, and the two of us discussed many things together since yesterday. After everything is done, I'm going to return home later today," Noah tried to explain, but another smirk appeared on Jessica's face after hearing the explanation."So, you discussed many things with your business partner mouth-to-mouth?" Cynically, Jessica continued to attack her husband verbally. "Ah, I'm not even sure if that can be called a discussion, and perhaps it should be called a 'mukbang' instead. What kind of business partners would eat each other's lips hungrily?""..." Noah couldn't answer straight away this time when his wife sounded increasingly cynical towards him.At a glance, Jessica looked like a disobedient wife who didn't want to listen to her husband. Her husband was even one year older than her, but she seemed impolite if outsiders saw their situation.However, it was still early in the morning, and the hotel was still quiet. The only outsider in the area was the man still standing in the swimming pool, but Jessica wasn't even sure whether that man was really an outsider or not.Meanwhile, Noah was silent for a moment, but then his heavy sigh broke the silence around them. "Okay, I'll explain everything to you," he finally gave in and no longer tried to run away from his wife's interrogation. "To be honest, that man is—""Why are you still here, sis? Don't you know that the Adonis is waiting for you in his room?"Before Noah could finish what he wanted to say, a loud voice sounded in the outdoor area of the hotel, and Jessica gritted her teeth angrily before turning to look at the person.There was indeed someone running towards the pool area, and it was a woman with a bob haircut. She wore a white t-shirt combined with white pants, and she looked like a rabbit as she did small jumps while running towards the pool. Unfortunately, it wasn't a rabbit, and the woman wasn't cute at all. It was just her assistant, Tammy Burner, and Jessica looked more annoyed when the younger woman stopped running after reaching her side."You don't want to answer my question?" The short-haired woman asked again because her previous question was unanswered. "I'm talking about your man for today, sis. He needs your service immediately so he can feel satisfied, so we better go to his room now."Tammy even reached out her hand before grabbing her wrist, about to pull her away when Noah suddenly spoke again, "What exactly are you going to do in this place, Jess? Today was supposed to be your day off, but you're going to meet a guy in a hotel room now? What game are you playing?"It seemed their positions changed, and Noah was even able to show his dominant side when questioning his wife.Unfortunately, that only made Jessica even more irritated as she turned to her husband again and answered, "Not everyone is like you, Mr. Brooks. Today is supposed to be my day off, but I am a dedicated employee at my company, and that's why I agreed to some rescheduling and came to this place today instead of tomorrow. I'm not like you, and the only purpose of my being here is to work."The visible tension between the couple could be seen again, and Tammy furrowed her brows in confusion. When she turned her head to the side, she could finally see another person, and she could also recognize that person as Jessica's husband. That only added to her confusion, but she didn't have time to question the man's presence because she could hear Jessica's voice once again."I'm going to go meet my business partner now, and we'll talk later after I finish working. If you dare escape, then our next meeting will be in a trial."It was clear that Jessica was directing her words at her husband, but Tammy could hear everything because she was still standing next to the blonde woman. It was like she was standing between two different sides ready to attack each other, and the tension was so unbearable that she could only stand awkwardly, wanting to escape if she could.However, before she could escape, Jessica grabbed her wrist, and she was forced to move away from the swimming pool. She moved away from Noah too, but she still managed to look back and frown confusedly at the brown-haired man. She could see the man had a complicated expression on his face, but then her gaze seemed to be drawn by a magnet when she looked at another man in the swimming pool. Unfortunately, her frown only deepened when she saw the man.'What's going on here? Why is Noah also at this hotel? Wasn't he on a business trip yesterday?' A series of questions formed in Tammy's head after her eyes fell on the two men. One of them was quite familiar to her, while the other was not familiar at all.Even Jessica's bitter and dark expression didn't escape her sharp gaze, and that only increased her curiosity. However, when she stopped looking back and once again looked towards the older woman, the older woman didn't say anything and just continued to tug at her wrist. Jessica didn't even look at her as she continued to drag her in a direction, but Tammy could still see the ugly expression on the old woman's face. That only added to the unspoken theories that were formed in her head.However, Tammy ultimately didn't express her curiosity, and she just followed Jessica's lead to their destination as if her lips were glued and couldn't be opened to ask anything. "You really can't read the situation, Tammy Burner," came Jessica's v
Jessica still hadn't left the hotel, and she was in one of the hotel rooms. However, the room was different from the one used for the photo shoot with actor Matt Habrew. It was indeed a different room because this room was booked in the name of Noah Brooks, and indeed the room had been used by her husband since yesterday.Two days ago, her husband told her that he would be going on a business trip for two days and one night. The man left yesterday morning, and he should go back home in the afternoon today.Jessica didn't ask the exact location of the business trip, but her husband just told her that he would be out of town for the trip. There was no suspicion at all in her heart. After all, her husband often went on business trips in the past, and that was why she didn't ask too much about his recent trips.She expected to see her husband again today after the trip was over, but she didn't expect to see him sooner. She also didn't expect to meet this man at THIS hotel.At this time, s
"Do you have any beer, bitch?""Can you not call me that? If you dare call me that, then you should call my mother 'the bitch's mother.' Do you want to do that?" Tammy lazily replied to Jessica's words, but she still got up from the sofa and walked towards her kitchen. "And it's still sunny outside. Are you sure you want to have a beer?" She added without looking at the older woman.Jessica didn't go straight home after returning from the hotel. She instead decided to seek refuge in Tammy's apartment, but it seemed like her assistant did not welcome her warmly.But Jessica probably didn't care even if the younger woman didn't warmly welcome her. She still considered that place as her home, and she could even casually sit on the carpet while leaning her tired back against the front of the sofa. It wasn't just her blonde hair that looked messy, even her face was messy, and maybe that was the reason Tammy didn't kick her out of her nest."Is there a label on the beer can that says I can'
Note: this chapter contains a flashback scene...."I won't hide anything from you anymore, and I will tell you everything," Noah finally opened his mouth after he could only remain silent because of Jessica's cornering questions. "To be honest, Tyler and I have been dating since we were in college. We loved each other, but unfortunately, my parents didn't let me be with him. That's because we're both men.""..." Jessica didn't say anything after hearing Noah's explanation.She didn't agree to listen to her husband's story, but she didn't plan to interrupt him either."Maybe it's my fault for coming out of the closet right after graduating from college," Noah continued even though he didn't get a response from Jessica. "At that time, I had hidden my true sexual orientation for years, and that's why I decided to tell my parents the truth. I even took Tyler to meet my parents that day, but things didn't go my way. After telling the truth to my parents, I received a hard slap from my f
"Well, that's the full story," Jessica finished with a tired sigh.She didn't look at her assistant, but she waited for her assistant to respond to her. However, the response didn't come immediately, and she frowned before turning to the younger woman. She could see how the woman stared at her blankly with her mouth wide open.In her eyes, the sight was rather disgusting that her frown deepened, but then she reached out towards the jar of peanuts on the coffee table in front of her, and she picked up one of the peanuts before stuffing it into her assistant's open mouth. She didn't even bother to peel the shell of the peanut for her assistant, and that's why her assistant immediately spat out the peanut."Do you want to kill me, Jessica Brooks?" Angrily, Tammy shouted at the older woman while throwing the peanut at the woman."I'm sick of that last name. I want to change it if I can," Jessica wasn't angry with how the younger woman dared to throw the peanut at her, instead she looked s
The next morning, Tammy stared blankly at the figure lying on her living room carpet. The room was so messy with a dozen beer cans, and even peanut shells scattered on the coffee table, sofa, and carpet as well.The room was very messy, and the one who should be responsible for the mess was the person lying on the carpet. Of course, Jessica wasn't the only one who downed twelve cans of beer last night. Tammy also drank with the blonde woman, but the one who was drunk last night was the blonde woman. That's why the blonde woman was causing chaos in the living room in her drunken state.Yesterday, Jessica even said she wanted to have genital surgery, but of course, that was just the blonde woman's nonsense and not really what she wanted to do.Tammy shook her head tiredly when she recalled all those bad memories, but then she used her foot to nudge the older woman's shoulder. She intended to wake the woman up, but the woman only groaned like a child before muttering, "Why are you kissin
Almost a week had passed since the incident at the hotel when Jessica found out that her husband was actually a dick and liked dicks. People said time would heal pain, but those days were not enough to heal the distress in her heart. The wound was still scarred in her heart, which was why she refused to see her husband's face after what happened between them nearly a week ago. Thankfully, there was still good news amidst the bad news she found at that time. The good news was that her father would be released from the hospital tomorrow. The doctor told her that her father's condition had improved during his nearly two weeks of hospitalization, and that was why he had let him rest at home to recover. Unfortunately, the doctor also warned Jessica to pay attention to her father's mood during the recovery period. That was the reason Jessica had to admit that Noah wasn't wrong in what he said at the hotel a week ago. They couldn't just divorce if Jessica didn't want to see her father in a
Button Boss was one of the biggest fashion companies in the US, and it was even well-known abroad in the last decade. This company had been around for half a century, and that was the reason why it had been able to gain the trust and love of the people. Button Boss specialized in men's fashion. They produced clothes, shoes, and even bags designed for men. However, unlike other brands in the same field, Button Boss was quite bold in its color choices. Other men's fashion brands mostly used dark colors for their products, but Button Boss often used bright colors for their products. That was why Jessica's wardrobe was full of her husband's colorful menswear, and her husband today wore one of his brightly colored suits. The purple plaid suit was nothing new in her eyes, and Jessica almost covered her face in embarrassment after confirming that it was indeed her husband who was wearing the suit. "What are you doing here?" Coldly, Jessica asked the brown-haired man. However, instead of
