Chapter 144

Author: Sequora
Renee's hand slipped for some reason and dropped the contract on the floor.

As she scrambled to pick it up, she instead hit her head on the corner of the table and gasped in pain. "Ow…"

Massaging her head as she picked up the contract, she straightened the papers before putting it in front of Jasper. "The agreement, Mr. Zeller. Please take a look."

Through it all, Jasper was watching her calmly, seeing how the unflappable woman was blushing just because of something he said and embarrassing herself very much.

It was true what they said—people got busy once they felt embarrassed.

He held back a smile as he took the contract and read it, and then sent it to Legal for further review, only signing it once he was sure there was no issue.

Watching as the contract was about to be signed, Renee could barely contain her excitement, and she imagined how bright Genome Tech's future was now.

Never could she have expected that Jasper would suddenly pause and look up at her. "I will sign this

    Hearing the familiar voice, Renee finally saw that it was Adam, his very breath stinking of alcohol as he was very drunk.He was a mess overall too, with multiple buttons down his collar loose and his hair a mess like a bird's nest, and he was holding a suit.He wobbled, unable to stand steady as he was just that drunk.Throwing his suit aside, he spread his arms as he walked up to Renee, asking, "I've missed you so much, darling… Can I hold you?"Smack!Renee was not playing along and slapped him across the face right then. "Get yourself together. We're already divorced."The smack was loud as she put her back into it, and it actually left her palm numb.Adam's head was left spinning, and he stumbled before falling miserably.But as he clutched his cheek, he laughed. "You slapped me… Does that mean you still care about me?"He was stuttering from alcohol and simply sat since he couldn't push himself up, hugging Renee's legs while pressing his cheek against her thighs. "I'm so

    Alison winked at Renee. "Hehehe… Well, he's my very reliable brother. And as they say, besties get all the goodies, right?"Renee rolled her eyes. "Don't even think about it, and get off my back!""Cool. I'll just cling to you, then." Alison smiled as she wrapped her arms around Renee's neck. "Go on. How did my brother take care of you?"Renee was speechless. "Can you be serious for once?""I am!" Alison replied, straightening. "I'm telling you—my brother is cold, but he has the perfect body—slender when clothed, and muscular when topless. He has the looks, money, and all the connections one would need. A man like him would be any lady's top choice."Then, nudging Renee's arm with her shoulder, she giggled. "Come on, sister—we go way back, so there's no way I'll let someone else get such a catch. Why don't you consider him a little?""You really like playing matchmaker, huh?"Speechless once again, Renee picked up a pillow and hit Alison with it. "Worry about yourself instead of

    Forget the fact that the food was unhygienic—the face that Renee would buy food and pretend she had cooked it was unforgivable.Beside Jasper, Luke started to remember the entire course of events.Even as realization struck, he rubbed his nose and said gingerly, "Ahem… Actually, I think Ms. Whitley's muffins are great—much better than what you get from food carts."Well… Shit.Back in the dining room, he was trying to say that Renee's muffins were much better than the ones sold by food carts.However, Jasper only seemed to have heard the first part and thought she had bought the muffins and pretended she made them.Vroom!Renee's red car screeched past them, its engine resounding across the parking lot as she sped off.Jasper turned to Luke then. "What did you say?""I said, Ms. Whitley's muffins are really good! The ingredients she used are fresh, and the patty's huge. You can't get that outside," Luke repeated, avoiding any ambiguity.Jasper's eyes narrowed coldly at him no

    Jasper shot him a cool look. "You have a lot of free time on your hands, don't you?"Luke blinked and promptly made a zipping gesture over his mouth to show that he was going to stay quiet now.They entered the dining room and saw that there was fresh milk, soup, and a palm-sized sausage and egg muffin.Not recognizing the latter, Jasper asked, "What's this?""It's a muffin, sir," Luke replied as he sat on the opposite chair, picking up his muffin and quickly eating it.Jasper had never had one before, but seeing that Luke was enjoying his, he scowled in disdain at the muffin as he picked it up.After hesitating for a long while, he took a bite.To his surprise, it tasted much fresher and more delicious than sandwiches.That was when Luke sighed as he munched. "Oh, this is so much better than the one I bought from a food cart."Jasper stopped chewing at that and asked, "You bought it from a food cart?""Well, yeah. I often buy some from this food cart near my place. But this

    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
