Chapter 22 You Must Do It on Purpose

Louis pointed to the mirror on the wall and said ironically, “Jessica Wilson, look at your face in the mirror. If I do have something dirty in mind, I would find an attractive girl, not you.”

He was so sharp-tongued! Jessica couldn’t help trembling and then she looked herself in the mirror.

She froze when she saw that there was a woman who was just a ghost with such a messy make-up showing in the mirror.

Was it her? Seriously?

Louis sneered, “Why? Are you scared by yourself?”

Jessica pouted her lips and drew out a tissue. She was wiping her face with the tissue while mumbling, “If you don’t connive at what Nancy do, how dare she would do that to me? It’s OK that I am soaked and teased, but if I catch a cold, I will… Hey, what are you doing?”

She was frightened when she saw that Louis was unfastening his belt…

Louis lifted his eyebrows and he looked so evil.

Jessica couldn’t help trembling.

She saw that he was unfastening his belt seemed like no one was here.

“Oh no!” Jessica screamed and she covered her eyes with her hands and was about to turn around and leave.

“You are told that you need to be around me anytime I call you in a day. I am just peeing, but I am not going to have a sex with you. Why are you that nervous?”

Louis said in a mocking voice and he managed to stop her.

Jessica took a deep breath and she turned around and roared at him, “You are a freak! Who wants to watch you peeing?”

Then she slammed the door closed as so to block him out of her sight and she didn’t want to hear his ear-piercing laugh.

Finally, it was the quitting time.

Jessica counted backwards for the quitting time from the moment she got inside the office.

Through the French window, she saw that Louis was sitting in the middle quietly and calmly in the meeting room and he was listening to the staffs from different departments reported to him.

Jessica was again attracted by him, who was so dashing with a clean and gorgeous face.

Though he was the man she hated, he was the type she loved to gaze at.

His eyebrows, eyes, nose and lips… even his Adam’s apple were so good that she couldn’t describe with words.

There was a sense of inexplicable familiarity to her.

And Jason’s face just flashed to her mind.

Her heart skipped a beat.

And Jessica suddenly noticed that Louis was kind of like Jason.

Suddenly, she was a bit frightened when she got such a mind in head.

No, no way… It shouldn’t be him…

It was already 7pm after Louis finished his meeting.

“Buy two combos A from the Lankan Dining downstairs.”

Louis said coldly to Jessica and took out some money from his wallet and gave her, then he continued his work.

Jessica frowned, “you are a workaholic, but you are not an orphan. You should go home and have dinner with your mom instead of having fast food here.”

The point was that she didn’t want to have a combo with him.

Louis gave a cold look at her which was so fierce that could pierce through her body.

“You can just go home now! No one would stop you! It doesn’t matter that you don’t come here to work tomorrow!” No one could be more eager to let Jessica disappear in front of him.

Jessica grinded her teeth and told herself to calm down.

Or she would be the only one who was angry, and he would be so happy about that.

“Fine! I will buy combos! But I don’t want Combo A!

“Whatever.”

After half an hour.

The office was filled with the smell of roast chicken wings.

More importantly, the chicken wings were roasted on a durian.

The smell was….

Jessica sat in the sofa and she was eating with a great appetite and her mouth was so oily.

“That’s so delicious…”

This was the sixth time for her to say the same words.

She was eating the chicken wings while she was peeking at Louis.

Jessica noticed that his eyebrows furrowed more and more tightly.

But she felt it so good.

Finally, Louis couldn’t stand the smell and said, “Open the window and adjust the central air- conditioning to air change gear.

“Mr. Carter, we should close the windows when the air-conditioner is on.”

Jessica reminded him of such a contradictory demand. And she was giggling.

Louis paused and grinded his teeth, then said, “Go and open the window!”

“Fine!”

Jessica was suppressing laughter and nodded. Then she stood up and opened the window.

When Louis didn’t pay attention to her, she secretly placed the durian in the window.

The wind was blowing into the office.

Louis took a breath but he frowned and was confused that why the smell of durian became stronger?

He raised his head and glanced at the window.

“Jessica Wilson!”

Louis was angry.

She did it on purpose!

When he was about to give vent to his anger, his phone rang.

He had a look at his phone and then he frowned unhappily and answered,

“Joyce? Yes? I am… what’s up?”

Jessica was sitting in the sofa quietly and she was so full.

She wouldn’t eat so many chicken wings with durian flavor if she didn’t intend to make a joke on him.

Damn it! She felt like vomiting!

Seeing that Louis was answering the phone, Jessica paid attention to what he said because Benjamin Carter had told her to record what he did the whole day. Then she took out a notebook and wrote it down…

Louis hanged up the phone for a while.

Louis saw that Jessica was writing something on her notebook, so he asked, “What are you writing?”

Jessica was shivering with fear and she hid her notebook hurriedly.

“I am so bored that I am just scribbling.”

Louise slightly squinted his eyes and didn’t say anything. He had a look at his Swiss Army and it was already 9pm.

“You can leave, it’s 9pm now.”

“Yoo-hoo!” Jessica stood up excitedly. He finally let her go off work.

She took up her handbag and was about to leave and she was happy when she thought of her mom and her son.

She felt something was wrong here before she left.

“Mr. Carter, you also go back home, don’t you?” She asked since she wasn’t sure.

Benjamin Carter told her that she could only go back home when Louise also went back home. Or, she would have to monitor him for 24 hours.

Louis lifted his eyebrows and replied, “Jessica, why do I need to report my whereabouts to you?”

“That’s not what I mean…” She explained hurriedly and she didn’t want to piss him off. Then she wore a fake smile and said, “I just think it not so good that you are still working here, but I go off work…”

“You won’t feel it not good, will you?” He hissed coldly, and he had a look at his watch again. Then he stood up and picked up the coat on the chair, and then he put on his coat.

When he brushed by Jessica, he only gave a cold peek at her but he didn’t stop his steps.

Jessica saw that he seemed to be ready to leave, so she bowed to him and smiled.

“Mr. Carter, are you going back home? Mind your steps! See you!”

Then the door was shut.

Yoo-hoo!

Jessica was so cheerful that she wanted to jump up to celebrate the moment of her victory!

But, she suddenly felt that her shoulder sagged. Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

She had been standing so nicely the whole day, and she felt her back hurt like she was beaten by others.

How could she survive?

Two O’clock in the midnight.

“The fox is calling, the fox is calling…”

The phone ringtone woke Jessica up from her dream.

Then she took up the phone by her bed sleepily and answered in a weak voice, “hello?”

“Jessica Wilson! Do you keep what I told you before in mind? How dare you still sleep now?” Benjamin Carter was shouting at her loudly.

Jessica awakened suddenly and she held her phone tightly, “what happened, Mr. Carter?”

“Louis didn’t go back home? Why didn’t you tell me? Now, I can’t get through his phone, and I can’t find him either! How dare you still sleep at home?”

Benjamin Carter rebuked her fiercely.

But Jessica didn’t get it.

“Mr. Carter, don’t be so mad, or you would have heartache…”

“Are you cursing me?” Benjamin cut in a rage.

“No, I am not! That’s not what I mean.” She felt she was wronged by him. “Could you please tell me what’s going on? Why are you so mad?”

“Joyce is in the hospital!” Benjamin suddenly became a bit serious. “Find Louis out no matter what methods you use! Clear?”

He hanged up the phone.

Joyce?

Jessica remembered that Louis was talking with a girl named Joyce on the phone tonight.

She had a look at the time on her phone.

Jessica who was having a good sleep just now couldn’t help mumbling.

“Louis Carter, you asshole! Could you just let me take a good rest?”

She got up from the bed and got dress.

Then she went inside the bathroom to wash up.

“Mommy…”

There came a soft voice from the door.

Jessica was brushing her teeth and she mumbled, “What’s up, Jason?”

Matthew was leaning against the door, and looked at Jessica seriously.

Actually, he heard what she was talking on her phone.

Especially when he heard Jessica mentioning Louis Carter, he couldn’t help getting up from his bed.

“Mom, are you going outside? I heard that Mom you are saying Louis Carter, you asshole…” Matthew asked Jessica.

Jessica was brushing her teeth while mumbling, “You heard that? That’s mom’s boss…”

“OK.” Matthew was actually excited in his heart though he looked calm.

Jessica nodded and brushed her teeth.

After washing her face, she saw that he was still standing at the door.

Jessica was confused and said, “What’s wrong? Jason, did I wake you up?”

Matthew shook his head, “Is mom going outside?”

“Yes, mom’s boss is missing and mommy needs to find him out. Jason, you stay at home with grandma and have a good sleep tonight.”

Then she hugged Matthew and kissed him on his cheek.

Matthew gradually got used to Jessica’s kiss these days.

And he couldn’t help falling in her warm arms.

Thinking of that day when he was arguing with his dad, he was a bit upset.

He was laying his head on Jessica’s shoulder and asked slightly, “Mommy, who’s my dad?”

Actually, Matthew was asking who was Jason’s dad.

Jessica froze suddenly.

She looked at Matthew who was in her arms.

“Why do you ask that?” Her sound was a bit trembling and she wanted to skip his question with a smile. “I told you before. When you are a little baby, you dad went to the paradise.”

Fine, she admitted that she didn’t intend to curse Jason’s dad.
