A Rose 460
Hearing Jake’s bewildered mumbling, Yvette narrowed her eyes. The whole situation was indeed strange. There was no way the Shadow Alliance would have the time or interest to meddle in this.
Before Yvette could ponder further, her phone buzzed in her pocket, snapping her out of her thoughts.
“Fiancé?” Jake caught a glimpse of the caller ID and felt like he’d just swallowed a bug.
“Boss, you saved Wilson as ‘fiancé‘ in your phone?”
Yvette replied nonchalantly, “He changed it himself.”
“Right, of course. There’s no way you’d save Wilson as fiancé‘ in your contacts.”
Jake sighed in relief, but then something clicked. “Wait, no! Boss, you let him touch your phone?”
Yvette ignored him and walked down the hallway to answer the call.
“Baby, I’m here.” Wilson’s smooth and magnetic voice came through the phone causing her heart to skip a
beat.
“Okay. I’ll be right out.” Yvette hung up and returned to the classroom. When she grabbed her bag to leave, Jake stepped in her way.
Thinking about how Yvette had been completely swept away by Wilson, a surge of jealousy bubbled up inside him. Hence, he couldn’t help but blurt out, “Boss, all you think about now is Wilson. The moment he calls, you leave. Seriously, boss, when was the last time we hung out?”
“Aside from being somewhat good–looking, what else does Wilson have going for him? He’s older, and looks fierce; he can’t compare to Mr. Phillip at all!”
Seeing Jake’s outraged expression, Yvette quietly watched him. A mischievous glint flashed across her
Eyes as she said, “I haven’t hung up yet.”
So Wilson had heard everything Jake just said? The thought sent chills down Jake’s spine. His legs felt weak, and he nearly collapsed. He was done for now.
On the other end of the line, Wilson radiated a menacing presence. It was that Xavier again.
Although Yvette had explained to him before that she and Xavier were just friends, he still felt a surge of anxiety.
“If you have a problem with me, you can tell me in person,” Wilson said just then.
At those words, Jake trembled even more. He wouldn’t dare tell Wilson to his face what he had just said, even with a hundred times more courage. He only had the guts to gossip behind his back. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
But who knew that talking behind someone’s back would be heard by the person in question? Jake was truly unlucky.
Jake awkwardly cleared his throat. “Boss, I suddenly remembered I have something urgent to attend to. I’ll leave now.”
With that, Jake bolted out of the classroom as if his pants were on fire. If he didn’t hurry and Wilson caught him, he’d be doomed!
Yvette smiled sheepishly and strode out to avoid wasting any more time.
As soon as she exited the school gates, she saw the familiar black Maybach waiting outside. Wilson stood next nearby with a stoic expression.
