Take Me Home

"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. Just tell me, Adrian. How a coward like you dumped me?"

The man named Adrian was silent, finding no words able to reply to Jessica. The woman is right, Adrian is indeed a coward.

At that time Adrian hadn't even tried anything.

He immediately gave up just because some men claimed them in love with Jessica. There were too many men for Adrian to fight and he had lost his confidence from the start.

"I hope you fall in love again and suffer soon."

"Did you just curse me?" Jessica heard it faintly but was sure the words that came out of Adrian's mouth were something bad.

"No, I wouldn't dare. I just pray that you are blessed with good luck in love. Whether the lucky man is Hans or who, I don't care. May the Gods bless you."

"Gods don't give you free luck, you have to work hard to create luck for yourself." Jessica didn't want to take the conversation any further and quickly finished her lunch.

"How about playing against me this weekend?"

"I can't promise you, Hans might come back this weekend. You can come to me if you're not a coward."

"All right, we'll see."

Jonathan was a little surprised when someone suddenly came out of Jessica's room. Jonathan did not know if the woman had guests.

"Who are you?"

"Me? Ah, sorry I'm just a food delivery man."

The man who called himself a delivery man lowered his hat and immediately strolled away before Jonathan questioned him again.

Jonathan was lost in confusion. He glanced at his watch, the lunch break was coming to an end. Is it true that Jessica's lunch was just delivered? there was no way Hans's arrangement was late like that.

Then why did the food delivery man just come out of Jessica's room at that hour?

The rest of the day going fast enough.

"Is there no other better artist in the industry? They don't have any value," Jessica again slammed the binder containing the list of actresses to be spokespersons for Florence's new products.

Jonathan is not used to Jessica's temperament. The woman had always looked cold or seemed warm at times,

"There aren't many best actresses we can contact. Many others don't even quite meet our requirements." Jonathan made an excuse.

They both know that the best of the best has been taken.

After some contemplation, Jessica made up her mind. "Tell them to stop looking. I'll get it myself before the weekend."

"All right, I'll tell them." Jonathan nodded obediently.

He was about to leave when Jessica called him, "Jonathan!" that's the right call. The first true call of his name. So Jonathan turned around with a joyful heart.

"There are things I can do for you, miss," Jonathan answered sweetly.

"Did you bring your driver's license today?"

Driving license? Ah, Jessica just asked if he brought his driver's license that day. "Yes, I always carry it with me."

"Come here and pick a vehicle you can take with you," Jessica took out a box from her drawer.

Jonathan approaches and finds that the box contains several car keys. There are two Audi keys, three BMWs and a Jaguar there. Does that mean Jessica will give Jonathan one of the cars?

"I have my vehicle, my motorbikes," Jonathan refused, he saw no need to drive any of the luxury cars even though his heart was a little interested.

You are stupid! Jessica wanted to curse.

"You have to choose one of them because there's no way you can take me home on your motorbike." Jessica pushed the box closer to Jonathan.
