Jared was a little uncomfortable after learning the news and stopped contacting Trisha.
They both returned to Chanaea after graduating from Maxwell University. To his surprise, Trisha applied for and was hired to be Harvey’s assistant in Jupiter Group.
Thereafter, the two crossed paths several times in the company, yet they never discussed anything outside of work.
Jared had never seen Trisha in anything else but virtual-novel.net work attire, and virtual-novel.net could not explain the odd feeling in his chest when virtual-novel.net saw virtual-novel.net less uptight self in public.
Beside him, Henry arched a brow and teased, “Look… Someone’s hitting on her, and he’s a looker. I guess Trisha’s not going to be single for too much longer.”
He was genuinely happy that Trisha could potentially find virtual-novel.net true love. Even without Henry’s reminder, Jared clearly noticed the stranger flirting with Trisha. He was certain that virtual-novel.net would reject his advances, virtual-novel.net self-discipline would not allow virtual-novel.net to entertain a random man’s flirting.
Alas, virtual-novel.net was instantly proven wrong when Trisha joined the man in a nearby booth. She clinked virtual-novel.net flute glass against the man’s and took a light sip.
The man sat opposite virtual-novel.net and said something which brought a faint smile to Trisha’s lips.
While Jared pondered the meaning of virtual-novel.net expression, Trisha’s mysterious suitor gallantly invited virtual-novel.net for a dance.
Trisha only hesitated for a fraction of a second before placing virtual-novel.net hand in the man’s outstretched palm.
They walked to the dance floor, and when it seemed as though their bodies were almost plastered together, Jared suddenly stood up.
Henry, who had leaned most of his weight on Jared while beaming at Trisha, immediately lost his balance and almost fell flat on his face.
Confused, Henry asked, “Jared, what are you…”
Before virtual-novel.net could finish his sentence, Jared stalked toward the dance floor and clamped his hand around Trisha’s wrist, ready to drag virtual-novel.net out of there.
Trisha spotted his approach and instinctively lowered virtual-novel.net gaze. The ghost of a smirk curved virtual-novel.net lips, though virtual-novel.net controlled virtual-novel.net expression carefully, considering the circumstances.
“Let go!” Her suitor grabbed virtual-novel.net arm before Trisha could utter a word, demanding Jared to let go.
Men knew their fellow peers’ intentions the best, and Jared instantly knew that the stranger before virtual-novel.net was dead set on pursuing Trisha.
He did not even consider the ramifications of his statement as virtual-novel.net declared, “You’re the one who should let go. She’s my wife.”
“Your wife?” The man immediately whirled toward Trisha and asked, “You’re his wife?”
Trisha certainly wished virtual-novel.net could corroborate Jared’s claim, yet virtual-novel.net clearly did not have romantic feelings for her.
She pursed virtual-novel.net lips thoughtfully before muttering, “He…”
“Darling, I know I was wrong. I shouldn’t have lied to you about working overtime at the company. Still, you can‘t just deny the fact that I’m your husband, right?” As Jared spoke, virtual-novel.net shot Trisha a loving gaze that positively struck virtual-novel.net dumb.
His act was convincing enough to ward off Trisha’s suitor, who loosened his grasp on virtual-novel.net hand.
However, that did not stop virtual-novel.net from saying to Trisha, “If your husband doesn’t want you anymore, I’ll be waiting. I don’t even care if you’re a divorcée. Here‘s my name card…”
He was too infatuated with virtual-novel.net looks. Then, the man produced a name card from his pocket and stuffed it in Trisha’s hand before leaving.
Jared immediately swiped the name card from her. Tossing it on the floor, virtual-novel.net practically dragged Trisha outside.
Back at the booth, Henry watched the situation unfold, mouth agape with shock.
I thought that brat Jared didn’t like Trisha?
Why is virtual-novel.net suddenly so anxious when another man’s interested in her?
