Jake reached the dining room, 15 minutes past his usual hour, but he didn't see Maria there.
"Where's Maria, Rose?" he asked.
"Looks like the lady hasn't come out yet, sir," said Rose while preparing breakfast.
"Please call Maria," said Jaccob while reading a news story on his cellphone screen.
Rose immediately moved to Maria's room. When she got there, she knocked on the door many times but there was no answer. Rose opened the door which was not locked, saw Maria who was still closing her eyes with the blanket covering her body.
Rose finally closed the door again. Then walked down to meet his master.
"How?" Jake asked when he saw that Rose was back.
After hearing from Rose, he immediately left the meeting room just like that. Jake even ignored the surprised stares of his employees. While Kenzo immediately followed his boss."Where are you going? The meeting isn't over yet, Jake," Kenzo said trying to stop Jake."Maria is in the hospital, I have to go now," Jake answered."You can go there after the meeting is over," Kenzo said annoyed."Shut up, you can take my place. Don't be spoiled!" Jake exclaimed, he glared at Kenzo.Kenzo finally let Jake leave him. He could only see the boss who was starting to disappear behind the elevator. He immediately returned, continuing the meeting without Jake.Jake drove his car at high speed.
Maria opened her eyes slowly, her body felt very weak. She tried to look around, found Jaccob sleeping on the sofa.Not wanting to wake Jake, Maria finally tried to get up. His throat was so dry, she felt thirsty. She tried to take the glass on the table beside him.Inadvertently, the IV line beside him moved, causing a sound that made Jake open his eyes.Seeing what Maria was doing, made him immediately approach the woman."What do you want?" he asked."Thirst," said Maria weakly. Her usually red lips looked pale white.Jake got the glass and helped Maria's bed slightly up. So that Maria can lean back a little.Maria then drank slowly, she handed the glass back to Jake when the water was half down.Maria smiled at Jacob. "Thanks, Jake," she said.Jake smiled back a little, only briefly to make Maria oblivious of it. He glanced at his watch, it was almost dusk. Jake decided to go to the bathroom, took the basin provided
"Hey beautiful," Ashley said smiling at Maria."You... Why are you here? Oh no, I mean how did you know I was here?" Maria asked still surprised by Ashley's arrival."I told you, wherever you are, I'll know," said Ashley, handing Maria a bouquet of roses.Ashley turned to Rose and smiled at the middle-aged woman.Seeing Ashley's gaze made Maria turn to Rose as well. "Rose, he's Ashley my best friend," she said.Rose smiled and shook her hand at Ashley. She then said goodbye to clean up the leftovers from Maria.As soon as Rose walked out of the door, Ashley sat down beside Maria and held Maria's hand."You are okay?" asked Ashley.
"Jake," she said still in disbelief."Why?" asked Jake who came closer to Maria."You," said Maria, turning to Rose for a moment. "Rose said you were home, why are you here?" he added."Yeah, I decided to go back. Wanted to rip out the eyes of the guy you've just been with. But lucky, he's not here now," said Jake, looking at Maria sharply.Meanwhile, Maria just swallowed hard when she heard Jake's words."I'm going to ask the doctor to give you outpatient leave. I don't like leaving you alone in the hospital. He might see you every day," Jake said again.Maria took a deep breath. She glanced bored at Jake. Of course, she didn't play with his words. After a few minutes, some docto
When everyone got out of the car, Maria was still staring blankly. His mind was still reeling about what had just happened."Mary, hey Mary... Are you all right?" Jake asked getting into the car again when he didn't see Maria getting out.Maria turned her head quickly, her eyes blinking a few times. She tried to calm his very fast heartbeat. Then she turned to Jake and nodded."Come here," Jake said holding out his hand.Maria immediately accepted Jake's hand, she got out of the car and into the house.Inside the house, there were already several people standing up to greet them. One of them approached Maria and Jake."Are you guys all right? Is anyone hurt," asked Aciel.
Kenzo was dizzy because of Jake's sudden request. Since yesterday, he had been upset that all of Jake's work had been left to him. And this time, Jake asked her to prepare a romantic dinner.But he was a little happy that Jake found happiness with the woman of his choice. Although because of that now Jake rarely went to the bar.Now it was just him and Sean who were still wandering from one woman to another.~Today Jake asked Maria to stay home. She is not allowed to go to campus. Because Jake was still worried that Maria wasn't feeling well.This morning Jake said goodbye to go to the office. He didn't even hesitate to kiss Maria's forehead. Made Maria smiled to herself when she thought about it.
Tonight Jake invites Maria to dinner. Kenzo even became the driver because he knew where the location was where they had dinner.Maria came out of the room wearing a knee-length, sleeveless, salmon-colored dress. She curled her hair and adorned it with beautiful pearls of the same color as her dress. It's all thanks to Rose, Maria can look beautiful tonight.She went downstairs to find Kenzo and Jake already in the living room. Jake immediately threw the pillow when Kenzo's eyes did not leave Maria. He stared intently at his friend.Jake immediately stood up and walked over to Maria. He stretched out his hand and was immediately accepted by Maria."Are we going to a party?" Maria asked Jake. Her memory of the last time she dressed up was at a party. And it was the most u
"It's time for you to get out, Sera," said a shirtless man. Even though his hands and feet still hurt, but that didn't stop him from making love tonight."I prefer to be with you Lucas, I don't want to be with that cold man. I love you, Lucas," said Sera who covered her body with a blanket. His head rested on Lucas's chest."If you refuse, I could destroy your dreams right now. Remember, your parents are still in prison." Lucas said.Sera gritted her teeth, she loved Lucas, she even had the heart to imprison her parents for Lucas. But now what Lucas wanted was the exact opposite of Sera's will. Even though Sera had been close to that man before.Sera Maxwell, the first woman to warm Jake's bed. Yes, even though at that time Sera was no longer a girl, but Jake loved Sera.
