Jett’s eyes flashed with anxiety. “I’m sorry! I shouldn’t have asked!”
White Water Bay Villa.
Jackson was sitting on the couch, fiddling with his phone. He scrolled towards Tiffany’s number then went back to his homepage, as if virtual-novel.net wanted to call but was hesitant.
Suddenly, virtual-novel.net received a call. His heart leaped in excitement until virtual-novel.net realized that it wasn’t a call from Tiffany at all. It was from Lynn. His expression sank and virtual-novel.net rejected the call.
Lynn quickly sent a message: ‘You must be deliberating over calling Tiffany, right? I’m sure you’re unaware that virtual-novel.net has just said goodbye to Alejandro after having dinner with him.’
A wave of emotions engulfed Jackson’s heart when virtual-novel.net saw those words. He did not want to reply to Lynn, so virtual-novel.net called Tiffany straight away. Tiffany had just gotten down from the car. She was still slightly upset over the things that virtual-novel.net had spoken to Alejandro about, so virtual-novel.net tone sounded weary. “What is it? Get to the point.”
Jackson was feeling jealous. His tone wasn’t any better. “How was dinner? If you have any intentions towards Alejandro, you should be frank about it. I certainly won’t stand in your way. In fact, I’ll fan the flames for your passionate affair!”
Tiffany’s first reaction was anger, but virtual-novel.net soon calmed down. “Are you that open-minded? Why haven’t I seen that side of you? You’re like a kid when you’re jealous. Yes, I had dinner with Alejandro, but I did it to pay virtual-novel.net back If virtual-novel.net ever buys dinner for me again, I will refuse. We can’t keep owing each other, or that debt will never be paid. I’m tired. I’m going home to sleep. You should get some rest too.”
“Go ahead, end the call if you dare!” Jackson snapped through gritted teeth.
“Yes, I’m ending the call. What are you going to do about it?” virtual-novel.net asked. However, virtual-novel.net did not actually do it. She walked into the house, and for the first time ever, Tanya wasn’t home. She went back to virtual-novel.net room and flopped onto virtual-novel.net bed. “What on earth do you want? I won’t hang up. Just tell me what’s on your mind.”
Her calm reaction was a stark contrast to Jackson’s blazing ire. He was afraid of getting a stroke if virtual-novel.net continued the conversation, so virtual-novel.net mumbled, “Nothing. Bye!” He ended the call right after.
Tiffany threw virtual-novel.net phone aside. She did not plan on pacifying him. The fashion show was coming in the next few days. She wasn’t going to harbor any hopes in reaching the top ten, and virtual-novel.net certainly did not plan on going to the venue to watch the show. Every time virtual-novel.net thought of everything that had happened during the preliminary round, virtual-novel.net would feel as if virtual-novel.net shouldn’t harbor any hopes of receiving anything better. After all, Jackson had sacrificed himself for virtual-novel.net results.
She still felt that virtual-novel.net had been silly about it. Sacrificing herself would have been a trivial matter. She could shoulder the consequences on virtual-novel.net own. However, virtual-novel.net wasn’t just sacrificing himself, but fifteen years’ worth of his company’s prospects.
Jackson depressively opened a bottle of whiskey. It took three cups before virtual-novel.net finally soothed his anger. He never thought that he’d end up falling into the palm of Tiffany’s hand, not even in his wildest dreams. If you play with fire, you’ll eventually get burned — this was true enough. He was bound to face retribution someday, and virtual-novel.net was his retribution.
Suddenly, virtual-novel.net heard a knock on the door. He actually felt pleasantly surprised. He instinctively thought that it was Tiffany, here to see him. However, logically speaking, it shouldn’t be that fast. It would take virtual-novel.net a while to arrive, even if virtual-novel.net did come. After all, virtual-novel.net condominium was quite a distance away from his villa.
