Chapter 242 - Dilemma
Chapter 242 – Dilemma
The sound of a loud alarm from the cell phone on the table woke Anne from her sleep. She didn't realize that she was still on the sofa alone.
"Sorry, the sound of the alarm on my cell phone woke you up, Anne." Jack's voice sounded quite clear from the direction of the bathroom.
Anne, who immediately remembered Jack's presence, immediately turned to the source of the sound and was surprised to see Jack was standing in front of the bathroom, with a half-wet body and only using a pink towel to cover his lower body.
Seeing such an amazing sight, Anne's face immediately heated up, her cheeks flushed red. "What are you doing, Jack?"
"Taking a shower. What do you think I'm doing?"
"Y-yes, I mean why do you take a shower at my house? Why don't you…"
"Going home, you mean? I'm late and I don't have time. After all, I have a change of clothes here. So I decided to take a shower and change clothes here." Without guilt, Jack immediately cut Anne's words and walked slowly towards where Anne was. The drops of water from his hair that had not dried yet again wet his burly body.
Seeing Jack approaching, Anne was panicking. She tried to get out of the way. But she was not quick enough, because Jack was already in front of her, locking her on the sofa by placing both hands on the right and left of her body.
"Jack, what are you doing?" Anne asked quietly. Being this close to Jack who was half naked made her uneasy.
"What do you think I'm doing?"
"Jack, please, don't do this," said Anne hoarsely.
Jack lifted one thigh and he leaned back on the sofa. In that position, the private area of Jack's thigh became more visible and Anne could almost see his groin which had been exposed. Luckily, she closed her eyes immediately.
"What's this Anne? I didn't do anything. You're on your period, after all. I can't possibly do that when you're bleeding like that," Jack whispered softly. The heat from his breath landed right on Anne's left ear.
"Get off of me quickly, or I'm going to be mad at you, Jack," said Anne curtly, pretending to be angry with her eyes still closed.
"Angry? If you're angry, what can you do?"
"Jack!!!!" Anne screamed loudly.
Jack laughed out loud. He managed to make her angry so early in the morning. Without being told twice, he got up from the sofa and released her from his cage.
"Well, hurry up and get my clothes, I have to go to the office, Anne," Jack asked casually as he smoothed the towel that was wrapped around his lower body.
Smoothing her messy hair, Anne asked, "What clothes? Did you bring a change of clothes?"
"Did you forget? I once took a shower here and left my clothes. Did you throw them away? Or are you selling them on a site selling used clothes used by this handsome man who is currently popular, Anne?" asked Jack repeatedly.
"You think I'm crazy selling your used clothes like that? Your clothes are in the closet, wrapped in laundry plastic," answered Anne quickly, when she managed to remember the clothes Jack was referring to. "Take them yourself, you've already rummaged through my wardrobe, haven't you?" added Anne quickly before Jack replied.
Jack just laughed at what Anne was doing. Without another word, he went up to the second floor leaving Anne. Today, there was a morning meeting that he couldn't leave. That was why he chose not to bother Anne anymore. After making sure Jack really went up to the second floor, Anne then went into the bathroom to change her pads. Luckily, last night she wore a special night pad, so that she slept comfortably until morning without any worry.
When Anne came out of the bathroom, Jack was seen coming down the stairs wearing his clothes that Anne had washed. So now he was neat and handsome again.
"I'm leaving immediately, it looks like there's a taxi waiting for me downstairs and you'd better take the day off if your condition doesn't allow you to work," said Jack quietly while wearing his expensive watch beside the sofa, when Anne was walking towards the pantry.
"I'm fine, I can still work," said Anne shortly, carrying a glass of warm chocolate that had previously been made by Jack.
"Are you afraid of asking that damn lion for leave?" asked Jack curtly.
"It's not like that. I still have a lot of work and it can't be left behind. That's why I have to go to work. Besides, this film project has started two days ago. If I didn't go to work, many divisions would be late in doing their respective parts, because our jobs are connected to each other," replied Anne quietly, trying to explain her work to Jack.
Jack looked at Anne without blinking from head to toe. His smile slowly faded when he saw Anne. Without speaking, he walked over to Anne, who was still enjoying her hot chocolate.
"What do you want me to make for breakfast?" Anne asked Jack politely.
"I'll take my own breakfast… smack…" Jack didn't finish his sentence when he landed a peck on Anne's lips which still had some hot chocolate.
"Jack!!!" Anne screamed in surprise. The hot chocolate in her hand was almost spilled if Jack didn't hold it right away.
"Careful, Anne, this chocolate will get my clothes dirty," said Jack coldly in a rising voice as he put the glass he had saved from Anne's hands on the table.
Anne didn't say a word and lowered her head when she heard Jack's words. She was still very shocked by what Jack had just done to her. She didn't expect Jack to lick and suck his lips so quickly.
"Okay, I'm off to work now," said Jack gently.
"Okay," answered Anne subconsciously, still staring at the floor. She did not dare to meet face to face with Jack, who was still standing in front of her.
Jack slowly grabbed Anne's chin with his fingers and lifted her face slowly. "I don't like the person I'm talking to look away when I talk, especially if that person is you, Anne," he said quietly.
Anne still pursed her lips tightly. Her voice was caught in her throat.
"Are you sure you're strong enough to go to work?" Jack asked Anne quietly.
Anne nodded her head in response to Jack's question.
"Okay then, I will leave now and remember one thing, pick up the phone call from me even though you are in a meeting. You understand?"
"Yes, I understand," said Anne quietly.
"Good girl, I'm going. Don't forget to eat and remember what I said, Anne, because if you ignore me again like yesterday, don't blame me if I come to your office and drag you out of the office," said Jack quietly threatening Anne.
"I know, Jack, I'll never forget." Anne answered quickly while looking into Jack's eyes which were also staring at her without blinking.
Jack landed a peck on Anne's cheek and whispered, "I trust you, see you later, baby. I love you, Anne."
Blush!
As if exposed to heat, Anne immediately froze upon hearing Jack's words. Even after Jack left her apartment, Anne still didn't move. Finally, she fell down on the floor while holding her chest which was racing very fast.
"I'm going crazy if Jack keeps doing this to me. What should I do, God? Should I give up and accept him? But I'm afraid, God, I'm afraid I make a mistake in loving someone for the umpteenth time, God," said Anne quietly, looking down.
