Chapter 23: Go To Work Together!

The next morning, Jordyn still sleeping. She still didn't realize that she was sleeping in Emmanuel's house for a night. Both of them were hugging each other on that bed.

She still in a deep sleep until her phone alarm was ringing. She heard it and she slowly reached for his phone on the table near the bed.

For a moment, she slowly opens her eyes and looks into her phone. She off it and want to go back to sleep again. But, suddenly she feels a little strange. She feels that she was hugging someone in that bed.

Who is beside me? Did I'm dreaming? This smell of scent kind of familiar...I was thinking for a while. Then, I quickly open my eyes.

I widened my eyes and I was shocked to see Emmanuel lying next to me. And the worst thing is, I was lay in his chest!

"Aaaahhh!" I screamed as loud as I could. I don't know what to do and my body feels like I can't even move. I was lying there while screaming out.

"Hey... what going on...?" Emmanuel wakes up and looks at me with a sleepy face. He rubs his eyes.

"What happens? Why I'm sleeping over here??" I was panic. I wonder what happens to us last night.

"You want to know what happens?" He whispering. I was nervous. My heart pounding speedily when he says it like that.

"Err... what happens? Did something happen? Did I... do something to you?" I ask him anxiously.

"I don't know how I want to say to you. Last night... I... I was really feeling... "

"What you feel??" I was started to cry there.

"I feel so..."

"So what...?"

"I'm so feeling tired to hear you talking in your sleeping. What are you dreaming of?

"Huh??'' I have shed tears after he said that. I was nervous and I was worried that something happens to us.

''Jessa...why are you crying? I'm just kidding. It's nothing happen. You already fell asleep last night and I didn't want to wake you up.''

''When I put you on the bed, you just didn't let go of my hand and just holding it for a night...'' He added.

After hearing him explain like that, I slowly stop to cry. I look at him with anger. But, suddenly he gently strokes my hair. ''Are you mad? I'm sorry...'' He looked at my eyes with a dim gaze.

I was attracted by the look in his eyes at me. For a second, I was fell into his eyes.

''Jessa...''

''No, I'm okay. I...I...need to go to work.''

''Let's go to work together.''

''What??''

''Yes. Let go work together.''

''But...um...I have to change my clothes. I had to going back to my home. You can go to work first.''

''But if you going back to your home, you be late to go to the office. You want me to deduct your salary?'' He tried to provoke her.

''What? How dare you?'' I was angry.

''So, what your decision?''

''But I have to change my clothing.''

''Dont worry, come follow me.'' He said while bringing me to the next room. I wondering. What does he want to do?

Then, we enter one of his rooms and he was open out the closet. There were several woman's clothes inside the closet. I was surprised to see that. I feel curious how he can have that woman's clothing?

He picks out a few formal dresses and gives them to me. I was in the puzzle. I suddenly thinking many things inside my mind. Did he already marry? Did all these clothes was his wife? But, where is his wife? Why didn't he telling me the truth?

I was feeling angry and at the same time, I was jealous. I throw away the clothes in front of him. He was startled.

''What happened? You didn't like it?''

''I don't want to use your wife's clothes! You think you can use me whenever your wife not in here? I'm sorry, but you wrong! I'm not that kind of woman!'' I shouted at him.

''What?? Wife? Whose wife??''

''Mr. Emmanuel Karson, please don't pretend!''

''What are you talking about, Jessa??''

''I have to go now!''

Emmanuel was thinking for a while there. He was confused. Then, he suddenly laughing.

I stop my step walk and turning back toward him. I was angry when he laughing. Did he think this is a funny thing?

''Jessa...I think you misunderstand something.''

''What??''

''I don't have any wife. And this is not my wife's clothes...but in fact...this is my sister's clothes. She just left it here because sometimes she stays for a night here.''

''WHAT?? Are you serious? Or did you just want to cover your lie?'' I keep curious about him. I don't know if I have to believe in him or not.

''Yes, I'm serious. Do you want to see my sister? Or did you want me to call on her?'' He takes out his phone and wants to call his sister.

''No! It's okay. I believe in you...'' I suddenly feel embarrassed.

He just burst into laughter when he sees me like that. I think he must be thinking that I'm the kind of jealous type.

''Okay... I feel glad that you believe in me. But...did you still want to wear this clothing? If not, I can go out for a while and buy some clothing for you.''

''No! No! I just wear this. Thank you.'' I quickly pick out one of the dresses and directly go to the bathroom.

Emmanuel just chuckles to see her behavior like that. He knows that Jordyn must be jealous just now. He suddenly feels happy about that. He smiling all the way and going back to his room and take a shower.

After an hour, I was done with my shower and I also have been ready. I going out of the room and went to the kitchen. I just thinking to do breakfast for us. I prepared a toast with sausages and an omelet.

After done prepared it, I put the food on the dining table. For a while, I don't know what drink he wants. Did he drink coffee? Tea? Or milk? I just remember that Simon was allergic to milk.

But, I noticed that he have milk inside the refrigerator. Maybe he can drink that milk. And with that, I just pour out the milk in a glass and put it on the table.

After a few minutes, Emmanuel comes out and walks into the dining room. I just sitting there waiting for him. I was fascinated for a second by his look and his fragrant smell really make me feel tempted.

''Are you cook this breakfast?''

''Um...yes. I just don't know what to do and just thought to do breakfast for you. I mean...I just want to say sorry because misunderstanding you.''

He chuckles. Then, he takes his seat opposite me. ''Um...I just prepared this for you. Just cook what inside the kitchen. I'm not sure if you like it...''

''It's okay...this enough for me.'' He smiles. But, suddenly his face changes when he looks at the glass of milk.

''What happened? You don't like the milk? Or did you want me to change it to another drink? I don't know what you're like...I just randomly...''

''I allergic to milk.''

''What?? Are you allergic?? I change it right now.'' I quickly take the glass and change it into the coffee. And after a minute, I come out with a cup of coffee.

''Here, your coffee. I'm sorry...''

''It's okay. Just go eat your breakfast.'' He suddenly makes a stern face. I was worried. He may be mad at me. I just slowly take my sit and start eating my food.

Sometimes, I take a glance at him. He just eating his food seriously. He does not even talk to me. We just eating there without a conversation.

After done having breakfast, we are ready to go to work. I was hesitant to ask him as he looks like he doesn't have any mood.

''Um...I can go to work by myself. You may go to work first.''

''It's okay, just follow me. Anyway, we go to the same place.''

''Um...but I...''

''Jessa...please. Just do as I say.''

''Oh...okay.''

I just obey his words and just go inside his car. Along the way, we just remain silent. I dont know how to begin our conversation. It suddenly feels awkward inside the car.

''Um...Karson...I...I'm sorry...I didn't know you allergic to milk. I just saw it inside your...!''

''It's okay. Just remember it after this.''

I was surprised by his words. I feel that I have heard these words. I always remember that Simon was the one allergic to this milk but I didn't expect that he is also the same as him.

''Okay. I will remember about it.'' I give him a smile. He just smirked. Finally, I feel relieved to see him smiling. But I wondering why he suddenly cold to me before.

Then, we almost arrived at the office. I quickly ask him to stop me near the bus stop. I dont want our colleagues to see us come together. He actually dont want to drop me there but I force him to do that.

But, in order to do that, he made a deal between us. He just asks me to go back together with him after work time. I was speechless. He just said that he wants to go out with me.

Did he just asks me to date him?? After work time?? I was anxious but had to agree with him.

And just like that, our relationship still in pull-in-out. Sometimes, we just secretly hiding our feelings. Sometimes, we jealous of each other. Sometimes...we just let our feelings lead our relationship.

I don't know why but...I gradually open my heart toward him. I want to know him better...I want to know his feelings...and I want to do everything with him...sometimes I tried to push him away from my life but I can't do that.

The more I push him out of my life, the stronger my feelings for him...
