Chapter 20: Jealousy!

That night, Lily's wedding reception will start at seven o'clock. The reception is held in the hall near the homestay. They were all getting ready to go attend Lily's wedding reception.

After getting ready, Emmanuel comes out of his room and waiting for Jordyn outside her room. He standing there nervously waiting for her.

Suddenly, Meera saw Emmanuel stood alone in front of the Jordyn door room. She smirked from afar and slowly walk toward him. She thought to make her first move to allure him. She pulled a little of her dress up to her shoulders to look more seductive.

She couldn't believe that Emmanuel wasn't interested in her. As before she not able to take Simon from her, this time she will be determined to snatch Emmanuel from Jordyn.

"Hi! Emmanuel. Are you waiting for Jordyn?" She spoke in a seductive tone. While her hand slowly squeezed around Emmanuel's shoulder.

He nods and tried to make a distance himself from her. He only looks at her with a sterns face and tries to ignore her.

She noticed that and still not give up to lure him into her. She has to make Jordyn see what are doing there.

"Um...wait, I think your bow tie look slanted a little. Let me help you do it." She pretended to do it and move closer to him.

And out of a sudden, Meera kiss his cheek. There was a red lipstick stick on his cheeks. He pushes her back and quickly wants to wipe that out but at the same time, Jordyn opens her door firmly.

At that time, Jordyn looks at Meera with her eyebrows pulled down as she feels annoyed with her. But Meera just silently grins beside him. She feels a little satisfaction after what she doing.

Then she pretends to say that were mistakes and she tried to explain it to her. Emmanuel also tries to explain but Jordyn cuts both of their words and asks them to stop talking.

Emmanuel is worried because he dont wants to take her to misunderstand him. She staring deeply at both of them and she slowly coming toward Emmanuel. Meera was a puzzle and wondering what she wants to do.

She surprised to see Jordyn lean closer to Emmanuel and held his arm tightly. Jordyn's gaze into his eyes in lovely and Emmanuel was a little nervous to see her like that.

"Let me help you wipe it out. It looks really disgusting!" She said in a soft voice but in a fierce tone. After wiping it, she makes a sharp glare at Meera.

Meera frowning her eyebrows down as she feels irritated towards them and she walked away from there with anger.

After Meera left from there, Jordyn distance herself from him but he still didn't let her go. He still holds her waist tightly. She tried to escape from his embrace but he holds her tightly.

''Um...let me go...''

''I don't want...''

''We gonna late...''

He still didn't let her go and hug her warmly. Then he whispers to her ears softly, ''Begging me...''

Jordyn takes her deep breath after hearing that and slowly she called his name, ''Karson...''

Emmanuel grins upon hearing the call. Then he slowly let her go. Jordyn gives him a glare then walks ahead. She actually still mad about what happened earlier and she still sulks about that. In other words, she actually feels jealous!

''Jessa...wait for me. We walk together.''

''No! I'm still mad!''

''What? I thought we already done.''

''Dont you ever think about that!''

After that, they went to the reception with a unsettle heart. He tried to coax her along the way but Jordyn still mad at her. In fact, Jordyn deliberately behaves like that because she only wants attention from him.

She knows what kind of person Meera because she already knew that she just only want to mess up her life. And the truth is, she already fall in love with him but she still not confident yet to confess her feelings.

Afterward, they arrived at that place. As soon as they reached there, Jordyn directly went to meet with Lily and she left Emmanuel alone behind.

''Lily!'' Jordyn said in joy and walk happily toward her.

''Jessa! I'm glad to see you.''

''Congratulations my friend! Wishing you a lifetime of love and happiness with your husband and best wishes on this wonderful journey, as you build your new lives together.'' She hugs Lily warmly and gives a smile to her husband.

''James, please take good care of my friend! If not, I will find you until the end of the world.''

James burst into laughter to hear that and give a sign of surrender hands. Then he teases her back. ''So, where are your partner? I heard Lily said that you bring someone...'' He chuckles.

Lily laughed and she quickly hiding behind James' back.

''What?'' Jordyn crossed her arm and glared at her.

Then, all of sudden, Emmanuel appeared behind them. ''Hi, congratulations James and Lily.''

''Boss! Thank you for coming.'' Lily said while secretly smile toward Jordyn.

''Thank you, Mr.Emmanuel,'' James said

''So, are you two together?'' James said frankly. Jordyn was startled and Emmanuel just smiling.

''Um...actually we just...'' Jordyn wants to explain but Emmanuel cuts her words.

''Yeah. From the start until now.'' He said casually.

Later, when they on a conversation, suddenly there was one man coming toward them and greeting Jordyn warmly. Emmanuel wondering who is that guy. He looks closely enough with Jordyn and they also talk in a friendly way.

He just stood beside her with a sterns face. He feels a little jealous about that guy. The thing that makes him pissed off is they talk briskly without realizing he was next to them.

Lily noticed his boss's expression and he calls him for a while. She brings him to move a little bit from there.

''Boss, can I have a talk with you?''

''Sure.'' His eyes still keep watching at both of them.

''Do you love Jessa?''

''Yes!'' He replied without realizing. Then, he quickly looks at Lily with a little anxiety.

''I mean...I like her...''

Lily chuckles after hearing his answer. ''Boss, dont worry. I will not tell spread this secret at our office. I will keep it!''

Both of them burst into laughter. Then he curiously wants to ask about the man who talks with Jordyn at Lily. Hence, Lily explain to him that the guy is their classmate in elementary school before.

And the big information he gets from Lily is that guy is Jordyn's crush! She tells him that Jordyn has a big crush on that guy for a long time ago and she once writes a love letter to him but unfortunately, the guy was transferred out from their school because their family moving out abroad.

After knowing the stories, Emmanuel becomes more jealous and he feels frustrated. He wonders why Jordyn never telling him about these stories before.

From afar, he looks at them with an upset look and he clenches his fist. He cants look at it anymore and straight away toward them. Rather than watching them with uneasy feelings, he decides to barge in their conversation.

When he has come close to them, he gazes at Jordyn first and then looks at that man with a stern face.

She was startled to see him appeared there suddenly. She saw the two of them looking at each other intensely. She quickly introduced each of them before something strange happened.

"Um... let me introduce you, Marcus. My old classmate during elementary school before. And, Marcus... this is Emmanuel, my...!"

"Her fiancee. Nice to meet you." He reached out to shake his hand. Marcus a little surprised and he shook his hand casually.

''Oh, nice to meet you.'' He said and smile.

''I didn't know about your engagement news, Jessa. Anyway, congratulations on that.'' Marcus added.

In fact, Marcus feels a little disappointed after know about her engagement because he returns this time wants to confess to Jordyn but he was late.

Jordyn just smiles awkwardly and gives a deep glare at Emmanuel. After that, Emmanuel straight away grabs her hands and wants to bring her to other places.

"Marcus, Sorry, we have something to do. Anyway, it feels good to meet you." Emmanuel said

''Sure, go ahead. Glad to meet you too.'' Marcus just looks at them walks away from there with sad eyes.

After a few minutes, they arrived at the beach nearby. He deliberately took her there and want to talk with her. In other words, he feels jealous to see her talking with Marcus intimately.

''Karson! Why you took me here? We need to go back there right now!'' She said angrily.

''Why you didn't even tell me about Marcus? Why you hide it from me for a long time?''

''What? Hiding from you? What are you talking about?''

''About him! I know everything about you but not that man!''

''Mr. Emmanuel Karson. Can you please explain to me what really mean about this question? What actually the things I'm hiding from you? And one more thing, why are you saying about the period? Did we know for a long time??'' She raises her voice at him and expresses it all inside her mind right now. She was confused to see him like that.

''Who are you, actually??'' She asks him bluntly. She gazes at him directly into his eyes. But Emmanuel avoids her gaze and suddenly he feels nervous. He didn't realize that he was crossing the line.

Jordyn still waiting for his answer and she really curious about him. She didn't know why she saying that all but from the bottom of her heart, she feels that Emmanuel was really a mystery for her.

At that time, Emmanuel was in confusion and he didn't know how to tell the truth to her. He dont knows how her reaction after knowing all the truth.

Jordyn feels sad that time as Emmanuel still remains silent. He not even answer her question and just bring her going back. She was really curious about him and actually, she wants to confess her feeling to him but after he didn't give any response to the question, she doubts his true feeling toward her.

Maybe...he also not the one for me. She thought.
