How a coward like you dumped me?

"Do you have a problem with that?" Jessica flipped the question again. She folded her arms across the chest. "I can call you as I want. There are no rules for that."

Jonathan stepped closer to Jessica's table and lowered his gaze right in front of the woman's face. "Do you really like Hans?"

"Is that your business?" Jessica turned again without blinking. The man in front of her was brave like what Hans said. It is as if Jonathan has some hidden power that makes him not afraid of big characters like Hans and even Jessica.

"The ambiguous relationship you guys perform every day makes me wonder. If you don't like Hans, why hold on to him any longer. You should have let him go when he asked for retired."

Courage is praiseworthy but also should be warned. Jessica started to dislike every word Jonathan got out of his mouth.

"You can think whatever you want but watch the way you speak!"

"Was there a mistake in what I said?" Jonathan stared at the woman fiercely. With that close distance, Jonathan can see Jessica's figure. Especially the woman's lips.

Jonatan remembered the night when Jessica fondled him. Shit! If he has a hidden power to fight big characters like Jessica then he will immediately attack Jessica right away. But Jonathan's position is just that woman's subordinate. The dirty thoughts weakened his guard.

Tuk! "Ah!"

Jessica hit Jonathan hard enough on the forehead with her pen.

"You talk too much like a duck. Didn't I ever tell you not to think too much of myself? Work properly and don't waste my precious time!"

Jonathan rubbed his forehead. He glanced at Jessica, the dirty image made him feel bad. Jonathan takes the documents about the actress and goes outside.

Jessica remembers she didn't even get revenge for their chaotic meeting incident. Jessica had been generous with it and Jonathan responded like this. Maybe she should reconsider hiring Jonathan.

***

Jonathan forgot his goal to enter Jessica's office. He was about to turn back in again when his mail notification rang. A new message has arrived. The message was from Hans, that he had taken care of Jessica's lunch that day.

So Jonathan went to lunch as usual. Sit in the corner of the cafeteria that is getting full.

"Hi! I heard that Hans is not in his office today, where did he go?"

Jonathan looked at the man who suddenly appeared. For a moment talk and sit in front of him without permission.

"I'm Jimy from the general secretary's office. Usually, I would replace Hans when he was sent out. But sadly, now Miss J has you."

"Forgive our indelicate," The woman next to him sat down.

Jonathan has worked for Jessica for the past two weeks and he doesn't know many employees at Group J.

"Where's Hans going? As far as I know, he has no field agenda or any kind of business at the moment. Has he quit?"

Jonathan remains a curious man in front of him. He smiled wryly. He wasn't the only one who wanted Hans to go.

"Why do you always appear when I'm not with Hans?"

Jessica crossed her legs and leaned back against the sofa. Staring at the tall man in the food delivery uniform who had just entered.

"You know how hostile he is to me, don't you? Avoiding is better than seeing us fighting. Thank goodness he's leaving soon, so I won't have to hide anymore." The man sat across from Jessica after serving lunch on the table.

"Nobody told you to hide from him, are you a coward now?"

"Watch your mouth, if I'm a coward then what about you? You became very interested in Hans after he dumped you."

"Dumped me? Which man can do it? Hans is only one of the men like you, who immediately gave up because he couldn't get me. How a coward like you dumped me?"
