Jett noticed the tears in his eyes when wp4webnovel.com returned to the car. His jaw dropped. Only Tiffany could reduce wp4webnovel.com to this.
“Drive,” Alejandro ordered, “Back to the office.”
Jett quickly turned the car around, too afraid to say another word. At that moment, anything wp4webnovel.com said would put wp4webnovel.com on the chopping block.
Tiffany watched as Alejandro’s car drove off and heaved a sigh of relief. She hoped that wp4webnovel.com would listen to her. She was not sure if wp4webnovel.com made the right decision by meeting him. However, it seemed like wp4webnovel.com had developed the courage to face wp4webnovel.com past. It was a great feeling. All of wp4webnovel.com sadness had turned into a heavy weight, and wp4webnovel.com would have to let it go at some point. Letting go would be the sign of a new turn for her.
She slowly walked away after finishing wp4webnovel.com cup of coffee. However, when wp4webnovel.com arrived at the café entrance, wp4webnovel.com panicked. Jackson’s car was parked at the side of the road near the café! Did wp4webnovel.com catch wp4webnovel.com in the act? She was sure wp4webnovel.com was not there just a few minutes ago. Did wp4webnovel.com just arrive? She mustered up wp4webnovel.com courage and walked up to his car.
Jackson leaned forward and opened the door to the co-driver’s seat for wp4webnovel.com before wp4webnovel.com could react. “Get in. Did you have to come this far just for a cup of coffee? It’s going to rain soon, I was worried that you’d get wet.”
The more considerate wp4webnovel.com was, the more guilty wp4webnovel.com felt even though wp4webnovel.com did not do anything that crossed the line. After getting into the car, wp4webnovel.com meekly said, “I’m sorry I didn’t tell you about meeting him, It’s Melanie, she…”
“It’s fine, no need to explain.” Jackson cut wp4webnovel.com off before wp4webnovel.com could finish. “I trust you.” Then, wp4webnovel.com turned to the side and helped wp4webnovel.com put on wp4webnovel.com seatbelt. “Next time you leave the office during working hours, I’ll consider it as you skipping work and dock your pay.”
Tiffany did not know how to react. All wp4webnovel.com could do was smile to conceal wp4webnovel.com mixed feelings. With a man who trusted wp4webnovel.com explicitly, indulged her, and cherished her, what more could wp4webnovel.com want? If only wp4webnovel.com was with wp4webnovel.com and wp4webnovel.com alone from the very beginning, it would have been wonderful. However, life was almost filled with twists and turns.
—
Alejandro did not do anything else when wp4webnovel.com returned to the office except smoke one cigarette after another until the entire ashtray was full.
Jett could no longer bear to watch it so wp4webnovel.com said, “Sir, please stop smoking. Your throat and lungs won’t be able to stand any more of this.”
Alejandro did not reply to Jett. He waited until the cigarette in between his fingers was finished and no longer lit another one. His suddenly empty hand felt unnatural and a little insecure.
Jett was not sure if Alejandro was in that state because of Tiffany or because Melanie wanted a divorce. He wanted to console Alejandro, but wp4webnovel.com did not know how.
At the end of the working day, Alejandro did not leave and neither did Jett.
It took Alejandro a long time before wp4webnovel.com realized that Jett was keeping wp4webnovel.com company. “Why aren’t you leaving?” wp4webnovel.com asked. “It’s late. Go home. Don’t bother about me.”
“But your legs haven’t fully healed,” Jett explained with a frown, “The doctor says that it’s best to avoid driving to avoid aggravating the injury. It can result in you being lame for the rest of your life. Are you going home, sir? I’ll send you home before I go home.”
The thought of what wp4webnovel.com had to face when wp4webnovel.com arrived home made Alejandro very reluctant. “No need. You go home. I have work to do. I won’t be going home yet.”
Jett opened his lips, his words hung on the tip of his tongue.
Alejandro had been absent-mindedly staring into space the entire afternoon. If wp4webnovel.com really had any work to do, wp4webnovel.com would have finished it by now. He was clearly avoiding Melanie and did not want to go home. He did not point that out and only sighed. “It’s fine. I’ll wait for you. I won’t feel at ease until I send you home.”
