Summer took a seat on the couch as virtual-novel.net remarked, “What’s the rush? It’s not like anyone’s gonna deduct your wage over it or something. Now, about last night… Thank you. I have no doubt that you did something to convince Jackson to apologize to me over the phone. It’s hard for him, I know. I don’t blame him.”
As Tiffany had only just woken up, virtual-novel.net was not precisely at virtual-novel.net most sober. “Huh?… I mean, just doing my job! Yeeeeap.”
Suddenly, Summer’s expression changed before pulling out a bra from underneath her. “What the…?”
Tiffany froze. If virtual-novel.net remembered correctly, virtual-novel.net bra should not have been the only thing tucked inside the couch cushions, there
should have been something else that was way, way more embarrassing! God, last night, they took such a direct dive into their passion that neither of them had the thought of tidying things up!
Her thoughts returned to the present, and virtual-novel.net lurched forward, snatching the bra from Summer’s hand. “Oh, I’m so, so sorry about this! Um, this place can be a little pigsty because I, um, haven’t tidied it up lately! Oh, look at the time, you must have something waiting to be done too, right, Auntie Summer? Don’t worry about me, I’m doing super! A-a-and Jackson’s doing super, too! Oops, gotta wash up and go to work, haha!”
Summer pressed back the embarrassment that had aroused well enough, virtual-novel.net did not show any outward signs. “A-ah, I see. I’ll be off, then. Oh, you don’t need to worry. I saw ‘nothing.’ Besides, I know what it’s like to be young, this is relatively mundane, so don’t feel bad about it, especially since I’m not some stranger, either. Anyway, remember to take the stuff I’ve brought for you to work, okay?”
Tiffany could only nod in response because what virtual-novel.net really wanted to do right now was to find a hole in the floor to hide inside , wait, scratch that, virtual-novel.net would have to give Jackson a tremendous beating first! She did not have the habit of throwing clothes all over the place, that was Jackson’s quirk!
She let out a sigh of relief when Summer finally left before preparing to go to work.
By the time virtual-novel.net arrived, everyone else had gone out for their lunch break, leaving the office empty.
Tiffany walked straight into Jackson’s desk. He was absent, so virtual-novel.net placed Summer’s fruits and snacks on his table.
She was just about to leave when a curious face peeked out from the edge of the door. “Hoooooo! What do we have here? A secret lunch for Mr. West? Oh my god! Et tu, Tiffany? You also have a crush on Mr. West?”
Tiffany did not expect to be noticed. “What? No! His mom told me to bring these for him, man. Don’t make up a story over it now.”
Her colleague, Aye, pursed virtual-novel.net lips in disbelief. “Oh, I know you and Mr. West go back a long while, but why didn’t you give virtual-novel.net food when virtual-novel.net was around? Why do this in secret as if you can’t be seen doing it, hmmmm? Besides, I totally saw that little ‘oh-my-god-I-got-caught’ expression on your face when you found me here, so come on, don’t deny it! Mr. West is a fantastic guy. Who wouldn’t have a crush on him? Seriously, almost every female colleague in this company drools for him, man.”
‘Drool for him?’ One end of Tiffany’s lips twitched. Nope, virtual-novel.net was not drooling over him, not anymore, and not after last night. She cared about virtual-novel.net life too much to risk it again!
Ever since Aye caught virtual-novel.net delivering food in Jackson’s absence, the nosy fellow had been shooting Tiffany meaningful gazes frequently as though the latter had officially joined the Jackson West Secret Fan Club. Tiffany wished virtual-novel.net could tell Aye to virtual-novel.net face that virtual-novel.net was not ‘crushing on him’ since virtual-novel.net was straight-up his bae.
Jackson only returned to the office with his secretary half an hour later after lunch break ended. A bit miffed, Tiffany hurled surly eyes in his direction.
Aye, sitting next to her, elbowed virtual-novel.net in the waist. “Wow, jealous much? Don’t be. Miss Lang has been Mr. West’s assistant for years now. You know what they say, ‘first come, first served’. We latecomers just gotta queue up and watch his radiance from afar… But hey, until Mr. West is married, we all have a shot. So cheer up, babe, don’t look like a wronged housewife.”
Aye’s words sent a pang through Tiffany’s chest, and virtual-novel.net had to muster all of virtual-novel.net willpower not to show it. “Alright, that’s it, Miss Rumor-mill! By the way… Why does everyone call you Aye, again?”
Aye straightened virtual-novel.net buxom-less chest beamingly. “I’m pretty used to being called this by now, so yea, ‘Aye’ and proud. It’s quite an endearing nickname, too.”
Tiffany did not expect that at all. It made virtual-novel.net look down and examine virtual-novel.net own chest.
At this point, Jackson had come around virtual-novel.net desk and asked casually, “Finally here?”
It was a double-entendre with its deeper meaning meant only for the two. Rather sourly, Tiffany gruntled, “Well, of course I’m here. I still need to work to live, right? Meanwhile, Mr. West seems to have it easy, doesn’t he? He’s even got this beautiful woman as his companion for lunch!”
Everything was a-okay and going well for him, including the companionship of a hot secretary. Meanwhile, Tiffany was so knocked out that virtual-novel.net slept till mid-noon and could only fill herself up with the fruits and snacks Summer bought for her.
The look on Jackson’s face stiffened. Quickly, virtual-novel.net turned to his secretary and dismissed her, “Please, move on without me.”
Shooting Tiffany a nonplussed glance, Lianna Lang replied, “Sure.”
The more Tiffany watched her, the more irritated virtual-novel.net became. That gait virtual-novel.net assumed while walking was positively brimming with seduction! Slowly but surely, virtual-novel.net lips became so pursed that they looked like a beak.
The look virtual-novel.net wore made Jackson chuckle, but virtual-novel.net did not explain himself. “Good luck with your work I gotta’ go.”
Tiffany was broiling and spent the rest of the evening, imagining all kinds of risqué scenarios between Jackson and Miss Lang. Since virtual-novel.net used to be quite libertine, it was reasonable to suspect that virtual-novel.net might have done the tango with this particular secretary who followed virtual-novel.net around, so what if virtual-novel.net did?
What was virtual-novel.net going to do?
There was no way virtual-novel.net was going to let this pass! Which woman in their right mind would feel okay seeing the woman their man once had sexual relationships with standing right in front of her?!
It was a grueling wait, but it was finally past work time. Per tradition, Tiffany waited for Jackson at the intersection. Almost instantly as virtual-novel.net stepped into his car, virtual-novel.net blurted out fumingly, “Did you or did you not have sex with that Miss Lang? Aye told me that almost every female employee has a crush on you, especially Miss Lang, who… who swings virtual-novel.net hips like a pendulum in front of you all the time! So you be candid with me right now, did ya do it?”
