"J, what's wrong?" Linda asks.

"It's nothing," I shove the phone in the pocket of my dress.

"Are you sure?" Damien asks.

"Yes."

"I hope James is not threatening you?" He raises a brow.

"No."

"I really hope so." His gaze on me is intense, it makes me a little afraid for James. After all, I can't get the image of those assassins who ran when Damien knocked. "I'm cooking pasta later," he gets me out of my train of though. "Is that okay?"

"You can cook?" I gasp. "That's new. Why haven't

  • Taming My Best Friend's Uncle   Chapter 85

    JeanetI am sitting on the reception area for about thirty minutes just glaring at the door. It's unfortunate that the room is soundproof, because my mind is playing tricks on me.I am picturing Camile laid out on the table and Damien doing things I would rather not think about. The door opens without any warning, and no matter how I focus on my attention on the screen of the computer in front of me, I know that she noticed how I was staring at the door. She walks towards the table, grinning. "Latte art? Very matured, but it was cute anyway.""What do you want from me?" I snap. "Nothing," she smiles. "I just find you...interesting.""I wish I could say the same about you," I mumble.She laughs. "Your pencil is broken," she says, staring at my hand. I open my mouth to say something, but I don't know what. Damien walks out of his office, and stands next to Camile. "Let's go, Cammy." He doesn't even spare me a single glance. It's as if someone covered me with an invisible cloak. "Da

    Jeanet"Do you have to do that?" Damien asks me."Do what?" I feign ignorance. "I think I like her," Camile grins. "She doesn't know the nature of our relationship. Does she?" Damien grimaces. It's just a little grimace, but I notice it before he gets an opportunity to cover it up."I'll go get you something to eat and drinks. What would you like?" My eyes are on Camile. "That's sweet." She places a hand on her chest. "Thank you for asking. I'll have a latte. The milk should be the right temperature and maybe a vegan donut.""What's the right temperature for your latte, ma'am?" I ask in an overly polite tone. Damien interjects. "That won't be necess..." "That is more than necessary," Camile chimes in. "Why are you interfering, Damien? She's trying to be polite and she's doing her job.""That's right. I'm doing my job.""Good. Now go find out how I like my latte, and please excuse us. Damien and I have a lot to do."Instead of looking at Camile, I glare at Damien. "I'm waiting for

    JeanetI don't know what I was thinking, but it is much more difficult to pull Damien by his hand than I imagined. His lips twitch as he stands rooted in place. At this point, I'm panting and completely out of breath, but he has barely moved. "This is not funny," I groan."Come on, it is a little funny.""I'm glad you find it funny," I huff, but the truth is that I'm just glad that he is smiling, despite everything that is going on. "Don't make me try to pull you again. Let's go.""My lawyer is going to get here soon.""So, should I go and get you something to eat?""I guess," he breaks into a full-blown beam. He looks so amazing, and my heart almost skips a beat."Why are you still smiling?" I try to sound irritated. "Because I'm surprised that you wanted to drag me out of here when the entire staff is right outside. Are you not afraid of what they would say?""I was willing to do anything to get you to eat."His lips form a thin line. "That's very sweet.""I will be right back." I

    JeanetAfter Damien told me he wouldn't bother me anymore, I went straight to bed, and as much as I adore Linda, I was glad that she didn't come to check up on me.I wake up still thinking about what Damien said. Linda knocks on my door ten minutes after I wake up, and she stands at the door, grinning. "What are you doing in here so early in the morning?" I groan.She sits at the edge of the bed and pulls one of the pillows towards her. "I just wanted to check up on you. Why do you look so grumpy?" "I'm not grumpy," I say to her."I'll wait for you at the breakfast table."Linda leaves me to my thoughts. I get out of bed, wondering if I'll ever bump into Damien. I'm not in the mood to see him, and he probably feels the same. ***********************Linda and I sit at the breakfast table, waiting for Damien. "Did you see Rachel last night?" She asks."Yeah, I did. Why?" "You don't seem mad." She gazes at me, her forehead furrowed in confusion. "I decided that I would never let he

  • Taming My Best Friend's Uncle   Chapter 81

    JeanetI look around for a place to hide while in my mind, I say a string of curses towards Linda for being so nosy. I bump into a table and stub my toe. "Fuck," I murmur before placing a hand to cover my mouth. "Who is in there?" Linda asks Damien. "Where?" Damien asks her. "I know what I heard, uncle. Anyway, have you seen Jeanet? The last time I saw her was when she was bringing you a sandwich, and then all of a sudden, I see Rachel. What was she doing here anyway?" I hide somewhere behind the bookshelf where no one can see me, just in case Linda decides to force her way into the study. "Linda, you ask too many questions," Damien sighs. "Can we discuss this tomorrow? I need to work.""In the dark?""There is light," Damien says impatiently. "Yes, a sunset color for a romantic setting. Was this for Rachel?" He exhales. "I'm going to slam this door on your face.""You know you won't. Where's Jeanet?" "I don't know," Damien says. "Okay, there's no need to be so moody."The ne

    Jeanet"She will never make you happy.""You mean as much as you did?" I hear Rachel's footsteps and realize that I have nowhere else to hide. "Oh, look, Damien. It's your little puppet, and she has been eavesdropping." She shoots me a dirty look. "I brought you a sandwich," I smile.He sighs. "I said I wasn't hungry, but thank you."Rachel laughs maniacally. It's more like a cackle, and it fills the entire room like she's some wicked witch. "A sandwich?" She cackles. "Is this what you meant when you said I wouldn't understand? You meant I wouldn't understand that you wanted a maid?" "Rachel, leave," he says curtly."Of course I'm leaving. You'll come to me when you are ready for a real woman."I don't know what comes over me, but I pull Damien by his t-shirt, and I stand on my tiptoes. Shock registers on his face for a second before our lips meet. He's a little hesitant at first, but then his hands are on my waist, and they move slightly down until he grabs my butt. I gasp and pl

    Damien "Are you sure you didn't say or do anything to hurt her?" Linda eyes me suspiciously, and I throw her a dirty look in return. Jeanet has left and no one knows why. Linda said she left the party in a hurry, and there were tears in her eyes. Her words and accusatory looks makes me feel as if

    Jeanet"You don't have to feel sorry for me, you know," I say to him. "I'm not.""So you did not feel the slightest hint of guilt?" "Guilt for what?" He glances at me. "I don't know. It's just that all this doesn't make sense. I was finally out of your hair, and you decided to go get me.""I mi

    JeanetI ring the doorbell, and the moment Aunt Celia opens the door, her eyes widen. She does a double take and then chuckles in disbelief. My entire body goes cold, and I realize what a mistake it was for me to come here. "Everyone, please come here and tell me whether I'm dreaming or not," she

    Jeanet"You don't have to look so desperate," Damien says, stopping me in my tracks. I turn around to glare at him, and he gives me that look he makes when he is judging me, which is almost always. "Umm, guys, we are in public," Linda whispers. "Please, let's not do this.""Nope, I was not going
