Chapter 147

Author: Ginger Sue
The moment Jessica saw Sasha, her smile disappeared.

Jessica thought she would be the center of attention tonight. She never expected Blake to show up with another woman, and certainly not one who could match her in looks and figure.

Jessica had always been competitive to the bone. Seeing Sasha made her deeply uncomfortable, yet she could only force a smile.

Then Jessica accidentally met Sasha's eyes.

The woman was staring at her with a sharp, predatory glare, like a beast hiding behind her lashes, ready to pounce and tear her apart.

"Oh? You're here too, Jessica," Blake greeted her with a bright grin.

Initially, the gathering tonight was supposed to be just Joshua and Blake. But when they set the plan, Jessica happened to be beside Joshua and insisted on joining.

Joshua considered how busy she had been with the R&D department lately, then rushing home to take care of Terence every night. He couldn't bear to turn her down, so he brought her along.

Blake was a fan of Joshua and

    Sasha lifted her wet face and froze when she saw the man standing there."M-Mr. Iverson?""I thought it looked like you from far away. Didn't expect it to really be you." Elijah stared at her soaked form, half-submerged in cold water. "Ms. Sutton, why are you in the pool? Did you fall in?""I…" Sasha blinked, her lashes trembling.Elijah chuckled. "Don't tell me you came to have a swim."Sasha gave him a deadpan look. "Do I seem like I enjoy messing around like this?""Well, you could be an oddball when you're drunk."After a momentary silence, they both laughed.Seeing she didn't want to explain, Elijah didn't pry. He kneeled at the edge of the pool and held out a hand. "Need help?""Thank you." She placed her hand in his.Elijah pulled her out with little effort. Her red evening gown clung tightly to her waist, making her look like a mermaid who had just taken human form."Wait here, Ms. Sutton." Elijah turned and jogged off.Sasha shivered violently but stayed put.Soon

    "I'm not going to be your lover…"Sasha curled up under the blanket, her bare body smooth and pale. Her long hair spilled over the edge of the bed, making her look delicate."Tch! You're not qualified to be my lover." Blake's voice was cold and detached after the enthusiasm burned out. "I had someone look into you. At the security firm, you're ranked among the top three. Work for me. Be my bodyguard."He wanted her at his side, so she went. She had no choice, and she didn't resist.Jessica sized Sasha up with open contempt. So this woman wasn't even Blake's lover. She was just a lowly subordinate. A whore's friend was a whore. After all, birds of a feather flocked together. Blake led Joshua and Jessica toward the private room they had reserved. Sasha followed silently behind."Ah!"Jessica suddenly came to a stop.With a splash, the crystal bracelet Terence had given her fell into the fountain's pool."What happened?" Joshua turned back immediately."Oh, no!" Jessica's eyes

    Winter flashed a smile. "I'm fine, Eli. I'm not affected by what he said."Elijah relaxed, a small smile spreading across his face. "That's good to hear."Silence hung between them for a moment before he let out a quiet sigh and said, "Your best friend, Ms. Sutton… It seems she's closer to Blake than just a subordinate. They're extremely close."Winter's gaze dimmed slightly, and she bit her lower lip. Elijah avoided calling Sasha and Blake a couple, so in his mind, Sasha was simply Blake's secret lover.After all, one was Blake, heir to the wealthy Thorne family, born with a silver spoon. The other had no parents, no social status, and worked as a bodyguard for a rich man.Not even Elijah believed they had real feelings for each other, and neither did Winter. She thought their relationship was purely transactional, driven by convenience or whim."Win, I think you should have a word with Ms. Sutton. You're divorced from Joshua, and you've been at odds with the people around him.

    That was a superb comeback from Winter!Blake's face tightened as if he'd bitten into something foul, and his temper shot straight through the ceiling. He used to think no one on earth could ever beat him at verbal sparring. Obviously, that wasn't the case.Winter's sharp retort landed like a physical blow, taking Elijah by surprise. He didn't recoil, though; instead, a faint lopsided grin mirrored his silent admiration for the steel in her spine. Now that she was free of Joshua, Winter was coming back to life, like spring after a long, harsh winter. It seemed marriage rarely did anyone any favors."Eli, let's go." Winter ignored Blake, whose face was turning an impressive shade of red, and started walking away with Elijah.Right then, Blake uttered, "Ms. Everhart, from where I'm standing, you forced yourself between Josh and Jessica."He gave her a cold, disdainful look. "They were in love. You barged in anyway. You were the one who insisted on marrying Josh without knowing wha

    Jessica composed herself, her lips lifting into a gentle smile. "Mr. Stroud has been very tired lately. He barely slept last night. It's no big deal. Shall we continue with the meeting?"Everyone instantly got the message loud and clear.It was obvious that Jessica had been with Joshua last night. Otherwise, how else would she have known that he hadn't slept well?…Winter ended up buying the black trench coat that resembled Ezekiel's. While it didn't match his limited-edition piece, it still outshone the other ordinary coats.To thank Elijah for being such a good sport, Winter picked out another expensive suit from the same store and gifted it to him on the spot.Elijah wanted to pay for it himself; he couldn't bear watching Winter spend so much. Still, she was ahead of him, swiping her card before he even had a chance.For a split second, the credit card machine wasn't just printing a receipt—it was spreading pure joy."Ma'am, you sure know how to spoil your boyfriend!" the s
