CHAPTER 59

CRYSTAL

Escaping the tension in there was just what I’d needed. I stood in front of the mirror in the restroom and looked at my conflicted expression. Sitting with those two was already so uncomfortable, good gracious Jack didn't make it.

My nerves were raging so much like I had committed some punishable crime. The thought of how Jaden would think I would go to eat with Drake instead of him ate me up. The way he'd punished me when he saw me with James were still fresh in my memory.

Ella's words about the way love should be echoed in my mind. “Is this love?” I muttered underneath my breath before I caught myself. Is this how love should be? Accompanied with fear?

I stared at my reflection in the mirror the sprinkled water on my face a little before I cleansed it. Then I slipped nto one of the empty toilet stall, closing the door behind me.

I stayed inside for a while, letting the silence swallow me. I unlocked the stall and pushed the door open, stepping back into the restr

    CRYSTAL I packed my handbag, strapped it over my arm when Drake appeared in front of my office. “Hello beautiful,” he said, his voice holding its usual flirty tone.I remembered how it always made me worried because of that tone but as time went on, I was gradually getting used to him being flirty. And about him being the suspected stalker, my heart was becoming soft and the thought of him being the stalker was starting to fade away since the messages, and gifts from the stalker stopped.I arched my brow. “When will you start addressing me formally?” I asked, walking out of my office while he followed from behind.His lips pulled up into a smirk. “Why?” he asked, his voice smooth and teasing.I turned my head to face him as we entered the elevator. “ It's only right when you address me formally because we are at work,” I said, stating my obvious point.“Does that mean I can address you that way outside of work?” he added, leaning in just slightly.“I will be okay with you calling me

    CRYSTAL I blinked repeatedly. His visit was getting frequent, making me worried about what others would think if they saw us together.He entered the office, stretching the flowers to me. “I was close by and decided to check on you.”I stared at him not knowing how I should react, I was grateful for the gesture but I wasn't just in the best mood. He licked his tongue and was looking at me with a teasing expression. The edge of his mouth curved into a smirk. “My hands are aching,” he said, then I collected the flowers from him, replacing them with the ones I was given before.I turn to face him, my arms crossed over my chest. “I don't want you getting flowers for me, Jack,” I said, unable to mask the sting in my tone. “I have gotten enough already except you want me to change my job and be a florist.”His expression didn't change. Instead he kept his soft gaze on me and sat on the chair in the corner of the room. “I'm not giving you flowers to make you a florist,” he said, his eyes

    CHAPTER 70CRYSTAL “Crystal isn't it?” Maya said, her heels clicked on the tile as she approached me. “Yes,” I muttered, praying internally that she wouldn't bring up what happened in the morning.Her facial expression told me she would.“I thought as much,” her eyes fixed on me, looking at me from head to toe. “It's interesting we met again. You came by as a rude person.”My throat tightened. This was what I’d dreaded. But then, she was rude at first and I reciprocated it.My brows furrowed as we locked gaze intensely. “You seemed not to know that you would be addressed the way you addressed people,” I said, sternly, irritation lacing my voice.She was getting me pissed already. Just who does she think she is? Making an enemy on her first day of work.Her smile faltered. “You are a very bold one,” she said with spite. “ I wonder what's giving you this much boldness. Well, let's see if you will still be bold when Jaden gets to know that a wench like you snuck into her office…to stea

    CRYSTALThe corner of my lips curled into an awkward smile, as my colleagues' attention returned back to their work.“Why did you scream like that?” Chloe asked in a hush tone.“I think I have done something that might cost me my Job,” I gritted my teeth and the words I had said back to maya resurfaced. “What is that thing?” Chloe asked, her expression was that of worry.I shook my head. “Never mind, I will find a way around it,” I said, as the weight of what I had done settled on my mind.“You sure?” She said, concern laced in her voice, her hands dropped on my shoulders. Then went over to her office.Now, I regret what I said earlier. I should have been patient and heard her out. But then what did Chloe mean that they were a thing.“Isn't it too early to be worn out?” Drake's voice cut through my thoughts as I opened the door to my office.I jumped back with my hands over my chest “You startled me!” I yelled then regained myself.He swirled around in my chair while I watched him. I

    CRYSTAL Last night was so intense and hot that I still couldn't find my balance because of the ache. I woke up to a blanket covering me, turning to adjust on the sofa well, my eyes popped open as it dawned on me that I was still in Jaden's office.I sprang up to my feet, covering my body properly with a small blanket. Then a door I hadn't noticed since, opened and Jaden came out of it with a towel wrapped around his waist.“What the hell was that?” I said, bewildered and blushing at the same time as my gaze glued on his dripping sculpted abs.“If you keep looking at me, we won't be out of here today,” he said, his lips curling into a smirk.I let out an awkward laugh. “I was looking at you,” I said, sharply, pretending I wasn't. “I'm just surprised that there's another door in here.”He nodded his head, expression soft as he drank from the bottle on his table. “Go have your bath,” he said, tilting his head to the open door.My lips parted slowly as I made my way into the open door.

    CRYSTAL My body quivered underneath me as he strode his bulge in, stretching my walls. A pleasurable cry escaped my lips as my fingers dug into his back.“Don’t make me repeat myself, Crys,” he said, pinching my swollen nipple.I closed my eyes as the ache in my breast made me shake. He was doing things that drove me crazy, making me shatter underneath him.The cold air from the air conditioner made me shiver slightly. Despite it, I was still sweating and my inside was hot. “Look at me,” he demanded, tilting my chin until my eyes had no choice but to meet his.His voice wasn't loud, but carried a weight that crushed my remaining strength. “You think I don't love you? What's your definition of love?” I shook my head, wanting to tell him, this isn't how it supposed to be but my body me, trembling in his hold. “See, you can't even say a word,” he mocked, then his lips captured mine again, kissing me till my lips were swollen and I could taste him in my mouth.“You should give me an an
