It was a compliment, but Jessica didn't know what Tyler was complimenting her about. She only knew that Tyler, for some reason, kept his face close to hers for a long time, and she couldn't even move because of the dangerous distance.Hot breath brushed her cheek when Tyler suddenly whispered to her, but her body froze even more even though she felt the heat on her right cheek.Unexpectedly, Jessica felt nervous because of the dangerous distance, and her brain stopped functioning properly for a moment before she could once again open her mouth to ask, “A-are you done?”She ended up cursing herself in her heart when she stupidly stuttered while asking that question.However, her question worked because Tyler finally moved his head away from hers, and his hands were no longer touching her ear either. His hands were withdrawn, but Jessica still felt warmth in her ear even though the hot fingers were no longer touching her earlobe. That only made her feel even more uncomfortable.“I'm don
How many days had passed? One, two, three, or four? It was not that she didn't want to count the days, but she truly couldn't remember how many days had passed. It felt like the days passed like a gust of wind, and even if she could feel it, she immediately forgot about it after it passed. The reason was because she had not been able to think straight in the past few days. Of course, there would be no smoke without fire, and there was definitely a reason behind her current state. There was also a reason behind the dark circles around her eyes, namely because she had not slept well recently. Every night, every time she tried to sleep, she always saw the images of— “What are you daydreaming about, Jessica Brooks?” Her soul almost jumped out of her body when someone suddenly came from behind her and even hit her shoulder quite hard. Even her heart was still pounding rapidly against her ribcage from the unpleasant shock she had just received, and she angrily gritted her teeth before
Someone suddenly pressed something cold against his cheek, and he gasped in surprise at the unexpected coldness he felt on his cheek. Reflexively, he turned his head to look behind him, and he could see his boyfriend smiling at him. His boyfriend's right hand was holding a can of soda, and from the wetness of the can, he knew that the soda was the cause of the cold feeling he felt on his cheek. “What are you doing here, Noh?” Shocked, he questioned his boyfriend, Noah Brooks. “Why do you look surprised? Aren't you happy to see me here? Don't you feel happy seeing your boyfriend come to support you while you work?” Instead of answering, the brown-haired man asked three questions in a row as if he intended to put pressure on the black-haired man. Tyler had work to do today, and he didn't expect his boyfriend to come see him. It wasn't even lunchtime yet, and he thought his boyfriend would be at his office during this time. Who would have thought that his boyfriend would suddenly appe
His name was Clark Powel, and he was the founder and director of EntertainMEN Magazine. Before deciding to start his own company, Clark worked at a well-known magazine in his country, but one day he suddenly didn't want to be bossed around anymore. He also didn't want to be the person who got paid every month for the rest of his life, instead, he wanted to be the person who paid his employees' salaries. It was actually an ambitious move and a risky decision, but Clark was brave when he decided to start his own company five years ago. Maybe it was his luck, or maybe he was a talented entrepreneur who could make his company big in a short time, but his company was indeed a dark horse in the industry at the moment. Maybe the magazine still could not be compared with top magazines that were even famous internationally, but EntertainMEN was known as a rising star in the country. Slowly but surely, the magazine also began to enter the international market last year, and that showed how mu
The question he had just received from his boyfriend was truly unexpected. Indeed, in the last week, he had often gone out with his wife, but he did not expect that his lover would directly ask him about it. In the past week, he and his wife needed to go to the hospital several times to carry out further examinations of his body to find out the cause behind his condition. In fact, he was the only one who needed to do the tests, but Jessica insisted on going with him, saying that she wanted to know every step of the process so that she wouldn't be fooled by him again. Noah found Jessica troublesome, but he had no choice but to agree. In the end, he often went out with Jessica in the last week, and even his boyfriend felt suspicious about it. After all, Noah didn't tell Tyler about the infertility test he had at the hospital, nor did he share the results with his boyfriend. Even his in-laws didn't know the real results of the test because Jessica deliberately lied to them by saying t
Jessica dared to question Clark's decision after the meeting ended. She deliberately waited until the meeting ended, instead of immediately asking the question in front of her colleagues during the meeting. She asked her boss, “Why did you choose Tyler? Some popular guys have worked with us, and I think it would be better if we chose them over him.” She did question her boss's decision when it was just the two of them in the meeting room, and her boss didn't seem offended by her question as he calmly answered, “If we don't put Tyler in the special edition of our magazine, his fans will definitely question our decision.” The word "fans" was like a hard slap to Jessica. She couldn't deny the fact that Tyler managed to build his fan base after the magazine was released last month. Mostly, he gathered women as his fans, but even young girls could not escape his charm as they also joined his fandom. When Jessica received the answer from her boss, she could understand the meaning of the
The reason Jessica chose to go to Brooklyn Bridge Park was because she often went there to calm her mind whenever she felt tired from work. The park was not far from her workplace, and it had everything she needed to see to relax her mind; blue sky, green leaves, and a clean river. She always liked the combination of blue and green, and she also liked watching the water flow slowly to its destination. That was why she always enjoyed sitting on a bench by the river to look at whatever she liked even if that probably seemed like a boring activity to other people. That was the reason why she also came to the park today when her mind was full of important and unimportant thoughts. For a moment, she wanted to forget everything before returning to the real world, but she ended up adding to the problems in her mind when she accidentally met Tyler Edwards in the park. Yes, the man who looked gentle while feeding a stray cat was none other than her husband's boyfriend, which was why the blo
“I like you.” Was that a confession from Tyler? Even Jessica wasn't sure if that was indeed a confession, and she was stunned when she heard those three words come out Tyler's lips. If that was a confession, then she needed to answer, but she didn't know how to answer. Before she could even answer, Tyler spoke again, "But I love Noah." “…” Jessica didn’t understand anymore. Before, it sounded like a confession, but when Jessica thought about it again, the word “like” probably couldn't be compared to the word “love,” and she knew that Tyler wasn't confessing his feelings at all. 'It's just like how he likes the cat. He likes the cat, he approaches it, but he won't want to spend the rest of his life with the cat,' she thought to herself. "Maybe it's just a temporary attraction," Tyler spoke again when Jessica still didn't respond. “I still love Noah, and I don't want to betray him. It all started after you kissed me for the first time not long ago.” Jessica suddenly snorted befor
