Semua Bab Mr. Jerk and I: Bab 1 - Bab 10

"Ugly Duckling!!" Ace's loud voice echoed the whole quiet villa calling her downstairs.She was his personal assistant but she was like a nanny most of the time, he can't live his life without her around.He was like a total baby who needs some help most of the time. That is why he even brought her with him back to this country even though she refused him for so many times.But she didn't succeed in refusing the handsome amount of money he offered for this project.They had just arrived at this country a while ago, and she was feeling a bit tired from their flight.After putting their luggage in their designated room they've decided to have coffee in the kitchen since Jake was familiar with this villa already, and been there few times before.He guided her around, familiarizing around the new house they would live in, since they would have to stay there for quite some time, it is for Ace's new project in this place.She was suddenly startled at the loud sound of his voice that the coff

She went back at the lounge of the prestige building of the Shawn Construction Company but not as grand as the Welling's Sky-Land Corporation's building after taking a quick break at the wash room to fixed herself a bit and she was somehow bored sitting alone outside the conference room.She walked back quietly avoiding to interrupt the employees working inside the massive office.Ace held a quick meeting with the CEO of the Shawns together with some investors and stock holders, after seeing the site with dissatisfaction with the materials used in their newest project located near the sea border of the city.The construction of The La Marinae Hotel was already started, the ground flooring was already visible, they've visited the place early this morning, and the location would probably attract many tourists in the near future.The amazing scenery of the ocean can be seen from the building itself and it was a short walk to the beautiful beach which is really popular to the tourists and

She woke up early the next morning with a throbbing headache from too much crying last night. She cried until she felt empty and tired.Her eyes were slightly reddish and painfully irritated.Her throat was too dry and itchy as if she would catch a cold. She suddenly felt really terrible this morning when she woke up.She refused to come with Jake and their boss Ace when he visited his family on their ancestral house last night. She said that she was not feeling well.Ace didn't bother her anymore and just let her take some rest since he knew she was tired the whole day yesterday.Her excuse last night seems to backfired on her now. She wasn't really feeling well right now but she needed to go to the office with Ace today because they have an important meeting to attend with the clients whose proposing new projects with the Welling's Sky-Land Corporation and needed immediate attention.She took some pain reliever medicine for her headache before she took a shower and wear her casual un

"Honey, why would I have to go to the business seminar in New York? Can't you just ask anyone else to do that? It was a whole week for gods sake, we only have atleast a month preparation for our wedding and we haven't finished preparing yet." Chloe asked in a disappointed tone.It was too early in the morning yet Chloe came to disagree about his decision for sending her abroad for the business seminar."since you are marrying me you should atleast know how to run the business." He replied in the same cold voice as usual without looking at her, his eyes were fixed in the monitor of his computer.He was totally busy reading the informations sent by Paul in email about Summer and Mr. Ace Welling's connection to each other.He was so curious and eager to know more about Summer and all the information about her is important to him even the tiniest one."Besides I don't need an imbecile partner in life. I need someone I can rely on when time comes." He added

James threw them an accusing and a disgusted glare before he walks away without a word.She pulled herself quickly away from Ace's tight and protective embrace in a swift move as if she was like a moth who felt a heat of a flame.James left them both frozen from where they were standing.She sighes deeply when he's already out of her sight and felt relieved all of a sudden, she realized she was keeping her breath when he's around.Ace caught her tensed reactions, making him even more curious on what's going on with them but he chose to keep quiet and just keep his curiosity to himself besides they need their privacy.She was also stunned for a moment after seeing Ace suddenly appeared between James and her. She felt her face suddenly blushed. And she suddenly felt ashamed towards him from what had just happened.She never thought that this man would appear in that kind of situation and stands for her."Thank you." She sincerely utter
