CHAPTER 31
Jake did the asymmetrical bob cut for Anne, and she was pleasantly surprised by how good and different she looked.“Do you like it?” he asked her.“I do,” Anne flashed a grin, unable to take her eyes off of the mirror.Jake smiled, seeing her blushing. “You look like a doll. I feel like pulling your cheeks. Can I pull them?”Anne shyly shook her head.“If you let me pull your cheeks, I will pay for your haircut,” Jake said.Anne then nodded slightly.Just as he raised his hand to grab her cheek, Tessa entered the room with a broom in her hand.The workers outside were all wondering why Tessa was holding a broom.Tessa kicked the door behind her shut so that the owners wouldn’t be able to see what was happening inside.“Madam,” Jake was startled to see Tessa. “Why are you carrying a broom? Give it to me. I’ll clean the room for you!”“Shut up!” Tessa waved her hand, swinging the broom at Jake’s face.His eyes widened. His body instinctively reacted and ducked.He managed to dodge, but
CHAPTER 32
A solid punch connected to Tessa’s face, and she was sent flying into the wall.Her left sleeve was torn up to her elbow, but it stopped now.“Tsk,” Jake looked a bit upset as this was his first time hitting a woman.Nevertheless, he expected his punch to have done some damage, but Tessa got back up, only after suffering a minor bruise to her cheek.And she looked a little pissed off. “Not bad,” she smirked. “That was a well-timed punch. You’re not a worthless piece of trash. You’re better than that. I’ll give you that. But… you won’t be able to land such a hit on me again.”She pumped her fists and was about to lunge at him, but then Carter forcefully opened the door.“M-Ma’am, what’s going on?” Carter asked quickly.Tessa stood straight and acted cool. “Nothing happened.”Even though she said that, Carter could see that half of Tessa’s sleeve was torn. His eyes widened for a second, but then he immediately threw a slap at Jake.Jake, however, dodged by moving his head backward.“You
CHAPTER 33
Anne was going home in her car.She was thinking about Jake. “I hope he doesn’t get beaten by those rich people. I want to do something, but what can I do against billionaires? They live in a different league. Compared to them, I’m nothing.”Her family wasn’t poor. Her parents owned properties worth a few million, but compared to the Hamiltons and the Blakes, her family was a frog in a well, no, a mere tadpole in a puddle.As her car rounded a corner, she saw a familiar face.It was Shane who was sitting on the side of the road.She ignored him and kept driving, but after going some distance, she reversed the car back to him. “What are you doing here in the middle of the day? Did you quit your current job, too?”“Are you asking this so you can mock me and prove that you were right in dumping me?” Shane asked.“I’m not that cheap, Shane,” Anne snorted. “You are still as sharp-mouthed as ever. I do get that the world is a tough place, but you should change that negative attitude, or not
CHAPTER 34
Elmond was walking out of the mansion building with grains and honey to feed the birds and butterflies.A Rolls Royce entered his view.“Benson’s daughter? Why is she here again?” Elmond thought, but then he also saw Jake inside.His eyes widened for a second, but then he smiled and walked up to the car and opened the door for Jake.“Come out, buddy. I was just thinking of coming to the salon to get a haircut from you,” Elmond said. “But I guess I can get it done here now. My nose hairs also grew, so I’ll depend on you to cut those, too.”Jake smiled with a shitty, embarrassed face. “I will do the service if you pay me appropriately, Grandpappa Almond.”Tessa was startled by how casually Jake was talking with Elmond who was one of the most influential men in the world.“Pay you? Didn’t you already take a highly valuable thing from the Hamilton family?” Elmond retorted.“Uh, yeah, I did,” Jake scratched his chin.“Step out. I’m not going to eat you,” Elmond pulled him out of the car.T
CHAPTER 35
Delma didn’t come down the stairs. She just stood there and watched.“Things happened, and I lost my hair,” Jake told Tessa.“What do you mean you lost your hair?” Tessa queried. “Did you lose it because of some kind of an accident?”Jake nodded. “Yeah, you can say that.”“Oh…” Tessa could only wonder what kind of accident could make him lose his hair, especially when there wasn’t any injury or cut mark on his head.She couldn’t think of one good reason that would fit the bill.“Some things are better left unexplained,” Jake replied.Tessa didn’t probe further.“What did you study?” Davis asked her. He was so flummoxed by her beauty.“Graduated in business,” Tessa replied. “Top of the university.”“Oh,” Davis’ smile weakened.“What about you?” Tessa asked him back. (This guy smells like a simp.)“Our son is also a topper, but he didn’t top the college,” Felicia explained. “He was the third best in his department.”“That’s not bad,” Tessa stated.“There are only three people in his dep
CHAPTER 36
At Anne’s house.Anne and Shane were waiting in the hall, and Verna finally came home at around two o’clock.The moment she saw Shane, she lost her cool. “Why the fuck is this trash here? Get out of my house!”“Sis, calm down. I brought him here for a different reason,” Anne quickly said. “Please help him by recommending him to a job.”“Hmph, why would I do that?” Verna openly breathed arrogance. “Look at your selection, Anne. He can’t even get a job on his own, and he’s come crawling back to you, and you still want to help him? You still haven’t learned your lesson, did you? If he’s got any self respect, he wouldn’t have come asking for your help.”“I didn’t want to take her help, but I’ve got bills to pay,” Shane said.“Wine bills, I’m sure,” Verna snorted. “Don’t forget that you’re talking to a lawyer. I’ve seen and dealt with guys like you every other day.”Shane frowned. “Just give me one chance. I’ll prove myself.”“No matter how high a dog jumps, it’ll still fall on the ground
CHAPTER 37
Jake, this time, did not leave the Hamilton mansion without telling his parents.“Don’t stay here and shamelessly suck their money, Dad,” Jake told Brett. “Go home and lead a respectful life.”“Are you really not going to accept Miss Delma’s love?” Brett asked, feeling somewhat helpless and also useless.“If love can be created by force, then tell me how,” Jake stated. “I’ll do it.”Brett frowned but said nothing.“I’m talking only to you but not to others because you’re the only one who I believe will try to understand things,” Jake said. “Go home. I’ll find a good job and support the family from a distance.”Brett nodded half-heartedly. “I’ll tell your mom, but you know how she is. I don’t think she will leave this house on her own. But I’ll try.”Jake nodded and then walked out of the Hamilton mansion.Elmond saw him leave, but he didn’t chase him. “What is Delma thinking?” he wondered with annoyance.Jake walked many miles on foot in order to leave the ordinance park.Nobody stop
CHAPTER 38
In Delma’s mansion.“Are you feeling sad that he left you again?” Tessa was feeling sad for Delma. “It must feel worse than a slap in the face. If I was in your shoes, I’d just forget him. One needs to have some self-respect. I think it’s better for your own heart and mind to forget him before you hurt yourself even more.”Delma’s brows drew together. She was clearly upset.She lay down on the couch. Two maids came to her and started massaging her arms and legs.Just then Brett came up to them.Tessa looked at him, wondering what he was up to.“Uncle,” Delma quickly got up, even though she was tired. “Please come and sit down.”Tessa rolled her eyes. (What’s with this attitude? You’re not their servant, Delma! Get your thinking straight! I have heard that love makes people blind, but this is too much!)How can a woman who can make the president kneel before her act like this?Tessa didn’t like what she was seeing.“I-It’s okay, ma’am,” Brett said in a hurry, feeling a little shameful.
CHAPTER 39
Anne and Shane were kissing on Jake’s couch. They still had their clothes on, but they were messy.When Jake entered the room suddenly, Anne got up from the couch and adjusted her dress and hair.Jake stood at the door, unmoving and staring at her, baffled. He wasn’t even able to blink.“J-Jake…” Anne’s heart skipped many beats. “I-It’s not what you think.” She saw the flower in his hand, and it stung her heart even more. Guilt rushed to her eyes and grew into a layer of wetness. “W-We were recording for…”Jake’s head slightly tilted back as she was trying to give an explanation. He put the rose and the chocolate box on the desk right next to the door and then turned around and shut the door as he left.“J-Jake, wait!” Anne grabbed her mobile and scuttled out.Shane was still on the couch, and he smiled, enjoying how things were playing out.Jake was going down the stairs, his heart thundering in his chest and his fingers trembling, unable to make a fist.Anne rushed over to him and s
CHAPTER 40
Jake could see that the chocolate box in his hands was the one he had bought.That alone told him that everything Anne had said about the video recording might just be true, or Shane probably wouldn’t be standing outside like this now.“Don’t want it?” Shane shrugged. “Suit yourself.”A few seconds of silence passed.“To be honest, I wasn’t expecting you to come, but the timing couldn’t have been more perfect,” Shane laughed a little. “I’m sure Anne is crying right now. She deserves all those tears for dumping me. You should also thank me for exposing her, don’t you think? I mean, she thinks she’s smart, but she’s so gullible.”He brought his hand closer to Jake.“At least give me a fist bump,” Shane said, “for saving you from that pathetic woman.”Jake tightened his fist and controlled himself. Eventually, he raised his fist and bumped it with Shane’s fist.“Haha, that’s what I’m talking about,” Shane laughed and then walked away. “I wish both of us good luck.”Jake walked the other
