"Old man, don't get in our way. Go find another place to make out!" A fat girl pushed Theodore to make a way. There are five girls behind her. There's very likely a high schooler in their fifteen or sixteen. They’re quite catchy with some kind of fan attribute attached all over their body. "Cammy, don't be rude!" Said the other girl with a big headband. "I’m sorry uncle, my friend is a bit impatient." Who do they call uncle? Theodore frowned. He’s ready to refute it but another girl shouted excitedly. "Geez, what a beauty!” The girl was stunned as she looked at Jessica's face. ”Are you a celebrity?" “No, I’m not.” Jessica's face flushed with embarrassment. “Don’t flatter me, I think I’m not that pretty.” Even though it was late at night, with the light from the convenience store, those girls could see Jessica's face clearly. They’re noisy with each other discussing whether they should ask for photos or not. "No, we’re being honest. You’re indeed as beautiful as the idol we
“Theodore!” No! It is a bit different than before. She just repeated with a loud and disrespectful tone. It sounds like an insult when Theodore realizes it. They never had a chance to call each other so casually. After all, they had never been so close before to address each other's names. What’s with the sudden change…"It seems like you are underestimating me." Theodore's hand gripped her jaw, pressing her head against the wall.It sent the chill back of her head throbbed in pain from hitting the wall. It was wrong to think Theodore will soften up. He might put bandages on her and walk her home. In reality, he was only a demon who knew how to deceive outsiders with his appearance. "I think you need to understand a few things!" Theodore pressed harder.Jessica was too scared to move under Theodore's threat. Her head also continued to throb uncomfortably. Did he finally decide to kill her tonight?What she didn't know, that man in front of her had to go through self-contradicti
She teased me first!Theodore refused to feel guilty for what he would or had done to her. Alas, he’s afraid if Aaron meant it and called Alicia now. "Don't you dare to call her! I’ll send you the number now." Theodore hung up the phone. Pressed a few features and immediately sent Jessica's contact to Aaron. After Aaron's disturbance was resolved, Theodore pushed her again into a corner. He choked her up, so that her voice was barely audible. "H—help!" Theodore was strangling her earnestly. The demon inside telling him to devour her. On second thought, Aaron's voice buzzed in his head: This would count as cheating! It reached the point where he can differentiate between the passion surging him or the frustration stirring his anger. Upon starting his relationship with Alicia, he had pledged himself to be a loyal man. So far the defense has been good. He was able to ignore the dozens of women who threw themselves at him.In the past, Theodore might have tasted a few that were ta
It was Aaron.Back at that time, after receiving Jessica's phone number from Theodore, Aaron made up his mind and decided to call the number right away. The call came in and immediately connected, "good evening, is this Miss Becker's number?"[ Hello, Miss Weisberg.] That soft voice answering him was indeed Jessica, but why did she mention Alicia's name?"Hello, is there a problem? I'm sure my voice doesn't sound like Alicia’s." Aaron toned up his voice to make it sounded masculine and clear enough to hear. Yet the answer on the other end of the phone is still amiss.[ Ah! Yes, Miss. I'm home.]"What?" Aaron gets confused at every answer Jessica says.She must be drunk or have hearing problems. Other exchanges following are also off the mark. As it’s if Jessica was talking to Alicia on the phone, not him. It got him frustrated. "Are you still with Theodore?" Aaron had this suspicion. It was only a while ago, Could it be that Theodore's presence had contributed to this strange
Is she absent today?Theodore was curious and wonder. Jessica wasn't at her desk when he came to visit Alicia's office this afternoon. He never cared before, but that empty table was a bit annoying today. Jessica did have a good reason not to come to work. She might be trying to avoid him for what he did last night. That scared cat must be hidingAs usual Theodore greeted Alicia with a brief kiss. However, Theodore acted a bit impatient today, he played abruptly hard from the beginning. Somehow he missed every inch of Alicia's lips.Ah… If he kissed Jessica, would it feel like this?The thought that suddenly appeared kinda disgusted him. He immediately let go of Alicia the moment that thought appeared. What is so sudden?"Did you sleep late last night?" Theodore's large hand ran through Alicia's hair. Caressing her gently and wholeheartedly."No. I went to bed as soon as I got home. What's wrong?""N-no, that's okay. It's just… you look tired as if you're not getting enough r
"Did he give you a warning or something?" Terence asked again. "I'm fine, Terry. Thank you for asking.""Really? Don't try to trick me." Terence blocked her way and insisted on checking.Terence Calvert is Alistair's right hand. He had been Alicia's secretary before. This man was also the one who guided and taught Jessica to become an excellent secretary. It was rather difficult for him to ignore his little subordinate."You better keep nothing from me. You're like a little sister to me, Jess."Jessica smiled a little—a little bitterly. "Yes, I know that Terry."Terence may not be as handsome or as capable as Theodore, but he deserves to be called a woman's dream. Too bad Terence only saw her as a younger sister.Terence was very concerned about Jessica. She once wished they had something, but the clever Terence immediately made his boundaries clear. Their relationship was only limited to coworkers if more so because Terence had considered Jessica like his own younger sisterJess
"Mr. Coldrick! Since when were you here?" Jessica asked but she completely ignored Theodore and sat down on her chair.Theodore walked after her and leaned against the table. "Wasn't that man just now Alistair's secretary?" he asked."Yes, he is." Jessica replied while turning on the computer, returning to work she left off."So… You like that kind of guy?" he asked again though Jessica completely ignored him. She turns a deaf ear to that kind of question since it has no relation to work. "Are you ignoring me?" Theodore stomps the desk to get Jessica’s attention. .Jessica didn't know that Theodore was a talkative man. Usually, he just spoke casually. On many occasions he didn't even bother to excuse himself when he walked into Alica's room. Who is the man in front of her right now?Jessica stood up and lowered her head respectfully then smiled with formality. "My apologies, Sir. I have no obligation to answer the question you asked earlier." The tone of voice she uses is
"Theo, why are you still here?" When Alicia walked out of her room. She found Theodore was in front of Jessica's desk, staring at the little woman with an indescribable look. "Oh, Miss Weisberg!" Jessica rose to her feet and saluted. Ready to take orders from her boss. Alicia didn’t take heed to little Becker, she’s only to Theodore. It's been quite a while since Theodore said goodbye to Alicia and left her room. She thought Theodore had left the office "I thought you were gone. Did you forget something?" "No, nothing. I just exchanged opinions with Miss Becker." Theodore was a little nervous when he answered Alicia. Damn, why does it feel weird like this? "Exchange opinions?" "Uh-um… Mr. Coldrick has just asked me for some suggestions for the surprise he is preparing for you." Jessica made an effort to cover for Theodore. "Really? You're preparing a surprise for me?" "Oh, yes, but it should be a secret. Now that Miss Becker has said, it’s no longer a surprise at all. F
