Chapter 142

Author: Sequora
Despite her usual soft-spoken nature, Renee was bristling like a porcupine as she shot Yvie a glare and strode past her.

As she reached the front desk, the front desk receptionist smiled at her, clearly familiar with her face now. "You can head upstairs, Ms. Whitley. Mr. Zeller is waiting for you."

Renee nodded and walked toward the elevator.

While she waited, she turned to look at Yvie, who was busy on a call in the lobby.

The painful memories that flooded her mind left her fuming just then.

Ding!

The elevator doors opened, and Renee entered, with Yvie doing the same just as she turned.

She shot Yvie a pointed glare but said nothing.

She pulled out her phone after pressing the button for the top floor.

Every moment she spent with Yvie reminded Renee of her late father, whom she resented along with Yvie.

Never could she have expected that she would run into Yvie again in Harborview City after so many years.

Still, as the elevator ascended, Renee noticed that Yvie never move

    Gathering her thoughts, Renee saw that it was still early, so she went to her kitchen to cook breakfast.She did promise Jasper to make him breakfast after he saved her life.This was just the first day, so she really shouldn't forget about it.Opening the fridge, Renee took a look at what ingredients she had and eventually made a simple breakfast.Thud, thud.Thirty minutes later, she carried everything to the apartment opposite.She knocked on the door, and Luke soon opened it.Seeing that it was Renee, he promptly opened it wide. "Good morning, Ms. Whitley!""Good morning." Renee nodded slightly and held out the tray to him. "I woke up a little late, so I had to make something simple.""Oh, you can take it inside," Luke quickly said instead of receiving the tray. "I just got out of the bathroom and didn't wash my hands."After all, he couldn't help remembering the bombshell that Simon had dropped on him yesterday.On the couch, Jasper was swiping through his tablet, as it

    Yvie looked at Renee sideways as she huffed, "You think I want to be here? Mr. Zeller sent me because you were either throwing up the whole night or crying from a stomach ache."Her gaze cool as she folded her arms before her chest snorted in annoyance, she then finished, "Still an ungrateful brat as ever."And with that, she strode off, her heels clicking in her wake.Rene watched as she left, feeling a little guilty just then.As she sat on the bed, she tried to remember what happened last night.Didn't she come home with Alison? Why would Jasper send Yvie to take care of her?Confused, she picked up her phone to call Alison.Beep, beep, beep…The dialing tone rang for a while before Alison finally picked up, and Renee quickly cut to the chase. "Hey, didn't you send me home last night?""What…?"Alison had been sleeping like a log, and her brain was still mush.It took a good few seconds for her mind to clear and reply, "Oh, last night… I actually left early since I was bu

    This time, Renee was sleeping still and didn't flop around.Jasper went over to sit by the bed, glancing sideways at her plunging neckline and scowling.If Renee hadn't been Alison's best friend for years, he really would have suspected that she was doing it on purpose."Such lack of self-preservation." He snorted as he fought to stay patient and buttoned her blouse. "You're such an idiot that even the likes of Adam Graham can bully you."The air-conditioning was on and she was sound asleep, so her skin felt a little cold. Even if he was being careful, his fingers still brushed against a softness he shouldn't.It was just for a second, but his fingers seemed to feel a jolt and turned numb all over.Strangely, it somehow burned, and Jasper's brow creased.When he was done buttoning the last hastily, he left the room without even looking back and headed inside his apartment.Soon, the doorbell rang—Yvie had arrived.Jasper had just taken a cold shower to wash off the bothersom

    Jasper was the one who bought Alison's apartment, so he naturally knew the door passcode.Once he deftly entered the code, he carried her Renee to the bedroom, and tossed her on it, sending her bouncing on the springy Simmons mattress.It left Renee even more dizzy, and she reached out, grabbing Jasper's trousers as she growled, "Alison, thirsty… I need water… Water…"The apartment was air-conditioned, and although it was cool, Jasper felt a burning sensation from head to toe, even as pent-up rage kept piling inside him.The woman's long, dark hair cascaded across her pillow, baring her dainty face.Her skin was fair and luscious, as smooth as a peeled egg albeit now flushed with alcohol—which made her look all the more enticing to him.For some reason, Jasper's mind flashed back to the moment in the car when Renee had thrown herself at him. His body seemed to heat up, and he gulped audibly.That was when his phone rang, jolting him to his senses.As he whipped out his phone

    "Renee!!!"Forget Renee's lips brushing all over his chest—Jasper could clearly feel the tip of her tongue against his skin too!Nearly exploding in an instant, he growled through his teeth, "Get off!"However, Renee was still piss drunk—how would she understand him?Still, her head was still slumped to the side, her cheek resting on his chest as she stayed asleep, clearly finding it comfortable.Jasper eventually had enough, holding down her arms as he pushed her away.Perhaps he was too forceful that he launched Renee so far to the other side, her head banging audibly against the car door again. "Oof... Ow… That hurts..." She groaned as she rubbed her head, pressed her face against the car window, and kept sleeping.Jasper's temple veins were throbbing with rage, and he straightened his shirt with his muscular fingers.Still, as he abruptly looked up at the rearview mirror, his eyes met Simon's, who just happened to be peeking on the drama in the back seat. "Which do you

    However, what Alison didn't expect was the hunk calling her so soon."Mommy."His soft yet husky voice purred from the other end, immediately tugging on Alison's heartstrings.He didn't even need to say that much for her to quickly reply, "Alright, alright. Just hold on—I'll be right there."Jasper was at once growling, "It's late. Where are you going?"Alison simply giggled as she helped Renee toward Jasper's car. "My friend needs me for something. Now, take Renee home and take good care of her, dear brother."Opening the door, Alison shoved Renee inside, but she was in a rush and ended up pushing Renee's head against the car.As Renee's head hit the car, her eyes were still closed as she groaned audibly, "Ow…""Shit, babe. Sorry about that," Alison apologized, but she still kept pushing Renee until she was finally inside the car.Slamming the door shut right then, she waved at Jasper and grinned. "See ya!""Alison!" Jasper yelled, but she already dashed towards an approachi
