Alle Kapitel von Her Affectionate Revenge ( His Cold Prey): Kapitel 11 – Kapitel 20

When Jessica got to the cafe for her afternoon shift, she was looking dull and dispirited. At the interview today, not only was she mocked by her fellow candidates but even the supervisors were giving her disapproving stares.She knew only a miracle would make her pass the interview. She knew that if it was in terms of qualifications alone, she was more than qualified. The issue was as they always say about the Turner Group.Everyone around knows that as much as the Turner Group values qualifications, they also value outward presentation in terms of fashion.Although Jessica was qualified, she might be disqualified because of her dressing this morning. Not only were the clothes worn out, but it was also rumpled!"Why are you so gloomy?" Her boss asked, looking at her.He had heard from the other girl that Jessica had gone for an interview today. Although Jessica was a very hardworking girl, he won't hinder her progress if she finds another job. He was praying for her to get a better j

The next morning Jessica woke up early to prepare for the new job. She quickly ate the sumptuous breakfast made by her mother.As they sat down at the dining table, her eyes were on her siblings who hadn't resumed classes yet because of the tuition fee."Jessica, take this lunch box with you and make sure you eat your food," her mother said." Okay, mom. Take care of yourself and daddy. And these two little rascals, don't go out of the house" Jessica said, kissing her parents and siblings." We won't, Jessy. I will prepare your favorite juice!"" And I will prepare your favorite cookies"Jessica smiled at the twins' enthusiasm. She knew they were acting brave so she wouldn't blame herself too much. But she can't help it. It hurts to see her younger ones at home when others are going to school.Jessica gave them a big smile before turning around to leave in a hurry out of the house.She didn't have money for a taxi so she followed the bus which took her close to the company. From the b

Jessica was about to tell Edwin what she used the allowance for when he waved her to stop."Let it be. You must have your reasons. But then I can't continue to condone this attitude. You have to look for a way to get new clothes because we will be going on a business trip in the next two days""Bus-in-ess mee-ting? T-wo days?" Jessica stuttered. How would she be able to get new clothes in two days?" Yes. That's the main purpose of the wardrobe allowance so you can get yourself ready for a business trip. Now, you can leave to sort out the documents I sent to you" Edwin said, dismissing the dumbfounded Jessica.All through the day, Jessica was moody and filled with different thoughts. She wondered what she would do.Jessica decided to look for a solution after work. She concentrated on the job given to her by her boss. She was so focused on her computer that she didn't notice the presence of someone."Is your boss in?"Jessica reluctantly looked up at the person asking. Her eyes met a s

"Are you in a relationship with the boss?" James asked.Jessica almost spilled the water in her mouth at James's face," Why would you even say that? Please, don't even mention that again. He is just my boss just like he is to you."Jessica, who was still having goosebumps due to the question James asked her, did not notice the smirk on James's face." My bad! You know the rumor about our boss and I just want to be clear so I won't be sacked for sitting with the future boss," James said with a teasing tone.James was surprised at the way Jessica answered him. She wasn't like those girls who swoon around the boss. But his only fear was that she might be the boss's target. Edwin Turner is a known womanizer and it might hurt his ego if such a gorgeous woman didn't give a damn about him. He hoped that wasn't the case." Oh please! If he is the only man on this planet earth, I will rather stay single!" Jessica said, cutting through James's thoughts. Her voice was displeased at being placed w

Getting angry at what he saw, Edwin waited patiently for Jessica to come to his office but it was obvious she didn't care that he might be angry with her. He brought out his phone and dialed a number. He needed to cool off some steam and he knows just who can do it for him."Jane, come to my office," he said, then cut the call.He smirked to himself," I shouldn't be getting angry at her when it's obvious I am only doing it because of revenge. I don't have any feelings toward that girl." But he couldn't keep her perfect figure off his head. She was looking beautiful and seductive and her glossy lips looked so kissable. If only he could just grab her ass and get a hot one right away.As he was thinking, he felt his body reacting to his thoughts. He tried to take Jessica's figure off his head but it wasn't working. He was getting aroused just thinking about her."Where the fuck is that Janet when I need her?" As soon as he finished mumbling angrily, his intercom rang and he picked it
