"Unless Theo likes another woman and breaks the engagement by himself?!"
Jessica looked surprised at her boss's thought. Imagining how cold and temperamental Theodore is when Alicia is not around. He’s like an untamed tiger which does not let anyone get close. "Is that possible? Mr. Coldrick loves you so much. There's no way he would like another woman."
"Who knows? Theo could suddenly like a woman beside me, then he would leave me voluntarily."
Why hadn't Alicia thought of it for a long time? This idea was better than her breaking up with Theo outright. Alicia only needed a third party to make this happen.
"I don't think Mr. Corldrick would be that easy to fall for another woman. He is a loyal and affectionate man, he can't possibly betray you, miss."
Jessie had her own thoughts, even though Alicia had been constantly complaining about Theodore's attitude to her lately. That woman once adored Theodore.
"He probably won't betray me. But Jessie, you can help me make him betray me."
"I don't get it. What do you mean milady?"
"Jessie, you know how beautiful you are? You have a good body compared to me. You're still young and charming. I thought many men wanted you, didn't you?"
"That’s not like what you see. I don’t even think that I’m pretty, let alone attract a man."
"Jessie, do you have a boyfriend?"
"Um no, I don't have one. I don't think it's time for me to have a boyfriend. I still want to work and pursue my career."
Of course, for a simple girl like Jessie, having a boyfriend just like to dream of a future with a prince on a white horse was only in a fairy tale. The real world was too harsh. She never had the courage and time to imagine a man for herself.
"Great, then it would be an easier way for you to do it."
"Easy way to do what?"
"Be Theodore's lover, take him away from me and I’m sure, you will be the happiest woman in this world."
"Jeez, Miss Alicia! How could I be Sir Coldrick's lover? I would never have dreamed of a man like him." It would take more than just courage and beauty to tame Theodore.
Jessica won't ever imagine it not in a million years. Not only because Theodore was Alicia’s fiance or his bad innate. She was just a peasant compared to Alicia who was a deputy director of Falcon Enterprise. The woman will continue her father's company and marry another heir. A man like Theodore was too inferior for Jessica.
She’s not Cinderella nor does she want to be a cinderella.
Alicia and Theodore are a match made in heaven. There’s no way for Jessica to enter between them.
"Start dreaming then, I will support you. I will give Theodore to you."
"Miss Alica, that can't be happening. Impossible!"
"Remember what I told you, Jessie. There is nothing impossible in this world. You will easily get Theodore with what you have. Look, you are gorgeous, Jessie."
Alicia stroked Jessie's straight, wavy hair. To be honest, Alicia once felt small when she looked at Jessica. Even though Jessica’s considered as a commoner, she grew up well with such a fascinating figure that can bewitch people.
If Alicia were a man he would probably fall in love with Jessica's beauty. So, the idea of giving Theodore to Jessica didn't seem like a difficult matter.
"Think about this, don't you think Theo is a good man? He is also handsome and rich, he is a man who is loving as you say. Don't you want a man like Theo to be your lover?"
[ Is Alicia testing me? ]
"That… can't be. I'm sorry, Alicia." For Jessica to call Alicia name shows how detest her to the idea. She walked out of the pantry to avoid her boss.
…
"Please cancel the cooperation, I will be responsible for the penalty fee."
"Theo, our cooperation with Reiner has been going on for a long time. I also know his father —Rodecrick Allen, well. What should I tell him if we have to cancel this partnership?"
Alistaire Weisberg's thoughts were naturally in sync with his daughter's. Why did they have to cancel their cooperation just because of Theodore? How great is this guy?
"I appreciate your close relationship with Sir Allen, but I object to the interaction between Reiner and Alicia. You might know what I'm worried about"
Mr. Weisber was well aware of what the young man was thinking. He knows how much love Theodore is to his eldest daughter. Only God knows how many times he regrets giving his blessing to Theo. That little rascal was not grown up yet!
How unfortunate for his daughter to attract a young man like Theodore. Was it his past mistakes? Alistaire was willing to return to the past to atone for his sins. Oh, what a poor daughter!
"Give me some time to find a solution to this problem. I will make arrangements so Alicia doesn't have further interactions with Reiner, what do you think?"
"I'll trust you, but I still think it’s better if Alicia doesn't need to see Reiner anymore."
"I'll try my best." Alistair Wesiberg really wanted to curse the young man.
Alas, he didn't have the power anymore. His authority was recently lost. The company crash a year ago forced Alistair to accept Theodore's helping hand to save his company and hand over Alicia in exchange.
At first, Alistair was so arrogant. He didn't like Theodore and opposed his relationship with her daughter. Theodore was several years younger than Alicia, but her daughter insists on a relationship with Theo.The problems with the company changed everything.
Alistair Weisberg once was a little bit grateful that Theodore liked his daughter. Later Thedore’s true nature gradually began to appear and unsettle everyone.
Alistair's initial feeling was right, Theodore was too young to be side by side with her eldest daughter. He should have acted decisively from the start when Alicia got in touch with that knave.
If only he had more power and money.
…
In study room of Weisberg Manor.
"Father, I'm sorry!"
Alicia knelt before her father. She was well aware that she had made a mistake today. Theodore has definitely gone to his father for his ridiculous request.
"If you feel guilty, then stay away from Reiner for now. Don't make anything that provokes Theodore. I will never allow you to cancel our cooperation contract with the Allens."
"I apologize for making a fuss like this, Father." Alicia didn't know how else to regret it.
This father and daughter knew that there was nothing they could do to escape Theodore's snare.
"Please wait a little longer, Father. I'll make Theodore leave me right away."
"Don't be reckless with your actions! We owe him a debt of gratitude. One mistake can ruin the company. The thought of you calling off the engagement with Theodore I will be a jovial one for me but you know it's not something you can do right now."
"I can't break up Theodore, but what if he was the one who decided to break up with me."
"But how? He loves you so much. He is devoted to you dear."
"I know a girl who might win Theodore's heart."
Alistair never thought of this before. His daughter's friendship with Theodore might really end if the man fell in love with another woman. That's a brilliant idea!
"You know since the beginning I never wanted Theodore to be my son-in-law. Are you okay if he leaves you like that?"
Alistair knew that his daughter was also very fond of Theodore. Her daughter had fallen for the charm of that possessive youth that she didn't even hesitate to fight against her father in the past. Has Alicia regained her consciousness?
"I'm fine. I'd feel better if it was good for you too… father"
"Lemme pay for it."Theodore held up his card, volunteering to pay. He held Alicia's hand as the woman took out her purse. Theodore always paid for the dresses that Alicia bought when they shopped together."Why? There’s no need. I’ll pay for this. I’m the one intended to give her a proper dress."This dress is not for her, why should Theodore pay for it? Alicia found it strange to let Theodore pay for Jessica. Well, except for food. A luxurious dress with Theodore's money was excessive to give.After convincing Theodore, Alicia went to the cashier to pay for Jessica's dress.Theodore glanced at the card in his hand and put it back in his wallet. Initially, he had no intention to draw the card to pay. However, after seeing the last dress Jessica wore, his hands were so excited and itchy. Theodore felt compelled to pay for the dress.Even though it was just a glance, he knew Jessica looked remarkable. That bare back of hers, how could he touch it?The store employee came out of the ch
"You want me to try on these dresses?"Jessica thought they were picking a dress for Alicia to wear tonight. She glanced at the dozen or so dresses that Alicia had chosen. She was a bit hesitant because all the dresses that Alicia chose were revealing and unfitting to her taste. The problem wasn't just the models of the dresses but that there was Theodore with them.Ever since Theodore bit her ear yesterday, Jessica didn't dare to look at him. She kept her distance and interactions with that man today. Theodore was watching her every move intently.Theodore realized he had been bewitched by this little Becker and there was no turning back. He enjoyed stealing glances to observe Jessica while wondering inside: When could I kiss her again?"Jessie, I want you to perform properly tonight. So, let's make yourself stand out a bit more than usual." Then Alicia whispered her devious plan under her breath, “remember, you have a duty to take Theodore away from me.”Jessica swallowed hard. Sh
Alistair could have stopped Theodore's mischievous activities, but how could he have ruined such a perfect occasion? That would be an opening to go against Theodore’s relationship with his beloved daughter.The brat that once swore all his love and promised to be faithful to Alicia. But in fact what… he's just a mischievous kid who hasn't grown up and can’t keep his words.Alistair deliberately didn't stop him. What he saw today was still not strong enough to make accusations and make it an excuse to break the engagement. They needed something even stronger that Theodore couldn't possibly deny.…Alistair stepped into Alicia's room after confirming that Theodore had come down. Jessica did not immediately salute, this poor woman still seemed to be shocked by what Theodore had done to her.It was only when Alistair made a sound then Jessica noticed his presence. "Is there anything I can help you with, Sir?""I just want to look for Alicia." Alistair's eyes scanned Jessica, seeing if The
Did he intend to do a public display of affection in the banquet?Alicia wouldn’t mind if it was in their environment. However, Whitaker's banquet would definitely be a different place. Most of the guests on the invitation were her seniors. Showing off the relationship in such an environment is not a good idea unless they are a married couple.Alicia didn't like the idea. She could imagine the result. If the seniors found out they were just lovers they would have advised her to immediately go to the registry office and sign the marriage certificate.Well! It will not happen. Alicia didn't plan on marrying Theodore. All she wanted was to part with him immediately."Come on... you will come to the party with me!" Now it no longer sounds like a question.Alicia knew Theodore was giving her an order. She could not ignore but accompany him to the party.Ah, shit! Jessica shouldn't have brought the invitation into her room and announced it clearly in front of Theodore. Remind her to charge
Theodore had informed Alicia that he would not be able to visit her office that afternoon either, but Theodore would still pick her up in the evening. So, Alicia thought she didn't need to try those cheap perfumes in a hurry. She would just spray it before Theodore came. What happened was that Alicia forgot to try it completely after she found out how ‘bad’ the perfume was and unfortunately Theodore actually did his inspection work on Alicia. "Didn't you try the perfume I sent you this afternoon?" asked him. When Theodore hugged Alicia this evening, he knew it immediately that Alicia had not used the perfume he gave. Theodore was somewhat familiar with Alicia's scent and he became disappointed that Alicia didn't smell as good as he expected. "Uh, I've tried them of course. Maybe it's because I don't use them enough or… maybe because they don't last long enough. You know, those perfumes are a bit different from what I'm used to." Alicia wanted to say it was a cheap perfume, but of c
"Ugh, Theo… stop!” it was too sudden so Alicia pushed Theodore away because she wasn't prepared for the hard kiss."Let's not talk about Jessica anymore. I don't like her. Let's not mention other women or even other men among us. Okay?" Theodore cupped Alicia's face with his big hands."Do you hate her that much?"It’s not because Theodore hates her, but because he could barely control himself when he heard Jessica's name being mentioned. His mind was wild and uncontrollable at the thought of that little woman.Theodore was reluctant to answer Alicia. He took a lighter step this time as he touched Alicia's lips again. At least each of these touches calmed his frantic nerves. He felt better as his
Theodore finished all his work as soon as possible and decided to go home early today. This afternoon he did not dare to visit Alicia because of the rest of the hangover last night. Now it's all completely gone.It hasn't even been a day yet but he really wanted to see Alicia. He missed her dearly. He wanted to quickly meet Alicia."It's sunny today. Your car has been washed… or would you take the SUV again today? " Sir Ezra reminded Theodore. He knew that his master was going on a date so the choice of a car must be very important.Theodore didn't take long to think. He prefers his BMW over that spacious Lamborghini SUV. "Yes, bring my usual car."After all, what was the point if he couldn't catch Jessica in
"Who is it, don't you want to pick it up?"Seeing an unfamiliar number appear on the screen, Jessica got nervous and was reluctant to pick it up. It was quite strange for Alicia, so Alicia preceded Jessica to pick up the phone.[Is this really Miss Becker?]Later they found out it was a male voice. Alicia gave her a look that said, ‘great you’re hiding a boyfriend all along?’Jessica was about to take over her phone but Alicia still had no intention of returning it to her. She was still curious about who the man was."Yeah, is the
"Why? Because… she smells so good and I want to kiss her," said Theodore again. “Cough! Ah, had I kissed her?” then he laugh stupidly. "What? Already… are you nuts!" Harry was mad about Theodore's confession. Now he’s gonna be someone who wants to strangle Theodore.“Haha... Why do you look so weird? Relax, I'm just kidding boy."“Theo, tell me, did you do it or not!” Harry tried not to yell but emphasized his words.“Of course not, I haven’t. Should I do it?” He makes Herry more frustrated. "Seriously, man. If you don't want to make trouble bigger you have to watch your mouth and your actions. I know Jessica is attractive but she was Alicia's secretary. Stay away from her. Just tell Alicia that you want her so desperately and fucked her already.”“NO! How could I do that against her will?” “Why? She loves you. You’re engaged already and I know you were planning to get married. It should be take after the new year. ?”“She's just a bit conservative, Harry. She had a norm to keep.
