Chapter 131 Professional
Cassie moved her hands around his waist and buried her head in his chest. She wanted to feel his warmth and just as she did so, she fell into a deep sleep like a baby in her mother's arms.
Jack smiled at her and leaned back on the sofa while also hugging her tightly and soon enough he also fell asleep.
As morning came, Nicole moved out of her room and went towards the living area, She was happy with last night's action she got with Jack.
There was a small smile on her face, as she stepped down the stairs. Her eyes then glanced around the hall and soon enough her gaze landed on Jack and Cassie sleeping while cuddling with each other.
She looked at them and raised her nose in jealousy, however soon enough her smile returned to normal.
She was used to this happening by now, and she didn't feel as Jealous as she used to.
After drinking some water and preparing some cornflakes she sat on the sofa and slowly started eating from the bowl.
Jack suddenly opened his eyes and saw Nicole sitting in front of him while scrolling through her phone and eating food from a bowl.
Jack then looked at Cassie sleeping on him and gently moved her aside as he stood up from the sofa.
"Good morning..." Nicole looked at him with a smile on her face.
Jack looked at her and a slight smile formed on his face, he nodded at her and moved towards the bathroom, he was still half asleep.
Nicole on the other hand moved towards Cassie and woke her up by shaking her body a bit, She knew that Cassie had classes today and it would be wise to wake her up before she was late.
Cassie opened her eyes groggily as she looked around and saw Nicole standing in front of her.
She then looked below her and found that Jack was nowhere to be found, she was sleeping on the sofa.
A blush appeared on her face as she stood up and met her eyes with Nicole. "I am sorry..." she said.
She could tell that Nicole had seen her sleeping with Jack and she knew how annoying it could be. As she herself feels Jealous whenever she sees Jack going to Nicole's room.
Nicole waved her hand with a smile on her face. "Just go and freshen up, or you will be late for college, also go and wake up Susan." Nicole sat down on the sofa again.
Although at first, she didn't approve of Susan, however, she can't do anything about her without hurting Jack's feelings, so she decided to give up and find other ways to protect Jack.
"I promised Jack that I will not search for that red-dressed lady, till she provokes me directly." Nicole sighed and took in another spoonful of cornflakes with milk.
After slowly chewing it for a minute she gulped it down and placed the bowl away.
She then stood up from her seat and went towards her room to change her clothes.
Jack on the other hand came to the living area again and saw that his phone was buzzing. He picked it up and saw that it was a call from his doctor.
'I remember, today they will remove my bandages and plaster a new one.' He thought and picked up the phone and just as he expected the doctors were calling him for another checkup.
He hung up the phone and booked an Uber to head towards the hospital.
"Where are you going?" Suddenly a sweet voice stopped him in his tracks and he turned around to see that it was Nicole, who was standing behind him dressed in a formal blue suit.
She looked professional with her blonde hair tucked in a bun behind her head.
She glanced at Jack with her brows furrowed.
"Doctors appointment." Jack looked her in the eye and pointed his finger at his injured hand which was covered by bandages.
"Oh... I should also come with you then." Nicole said and moved towards him.
"I can handle it myself." He said, he could tell by her dress that she was going to a company meeting, and he didn't wanna disrupt her professional time.
"No, I am coming too." She said with a firm expression, for her, Jack was more important than any meeting she was gonna attend.
After all, it was all thanks to Jack that she was capable enough to buy a company in the first place and he was also the one that suggested her a good company.
And from the moment she brought the company, the stocks were only going up somehow, even the sales have started to go up.
Jack looked at her determined expression and sighed, he could tell that there was no point arguing with her, just by her tone it was evident that she would come with him no matter what.
"Ok." He nodded with a smile, he was somewhat happy that Nicole cared for him so much, and he was also grateful for her.
Nicole who was about to argue even more, when heard his words turned silent for a few moments, She thought that Jack would not let her come with him easily.
However, seeing that he agreed so quickly a bright smile formed on her face, and she quickly moved towards him and held his hand.
"Let's go," She said with a smile and then both of them moved towards the garage.
Soon enough a black G-Wagon moved out of their mansion.
Inside her room, Cassie was dressing up for the college in front of a mirror when she suddenly heard a knock on the door.
"Jack?" She stood up from her seat and moved towards the door, She had just gotten the message from Jack that he and Nicole had gone to the hospital for his checkup, so she was confused as to who could it be at this time.
'Is it Susan?' She moved even closer when she heard another knock.
"I am coming Susan, just wait..." She said and opened the door, however, there was no one present.
The hallway was empty and Susan's room was closed.
Cassie furrowed her brows, "Jack, is this some kind of stupid prank?" she moved outside her room, leaving the door open.
Soon she reached the living area and found no one there. There wasn't anyone in the kitchen either.
"Jack?" She called out again, She was sure that she had heard multiple knocks on her door just a moment ago and now she could see no one.
"This guy... He never plays pranks like this? So what happened to him now?" She thought and took out her phone to call Jack but to her surprise, there was no cellphone reception.
"Fuck..." She cursed out at her phone and started moving towards her room again.
After getting up the stairs she looked towards her room and her heart skipped a beat and a frown appeared on her face.
'I was sure that I left the door open...' She looked at the closed wooden door and gulped her saliva.
"Susan?" She called out, as she could be the only one after Jack who could think of playing pranks like this.
'But why would she ever do that?' she thought and slowly started moving towards her door, She even picked up a small vase in her hand for protection.
"Is anyone inside?" She knocked on the door a few times, however, no voice came from inside.
Her heart started beating at a rapid pace and she could feel her chest turning heavy, there was this strange uncanny feeling slowly creeping into her body.
She moved her hand to open the door.
"Ahh....!" Just when she was about to open her door she heard a loud shriek from the other room, turning her head around she looked at Susan's door.
The voice came from inside her room.
She quickly ran and opened the door, inside the room she could see a strange black shadow, holding Susan with its hand and choking her.
There was a knife in the left hand of the shadow.
Cassie looked at it and then looked at Susan and her eyes widened in terror, She could spot a big and sharp knife in Shadow's hand and Susan's face was turning pale from the lack of oxygen.
When the shadow noticed the door opening, it turned its head around and looked at Cassie.
And at that moment Cassie could recognise the black shadow from its facial features. "Ron? Is it you? What are you doing to her?" Cassie quickly moved and flung the vase in her hand towards the shadow.
The shadow saw the vase coming at him at high speed and it dodged sideways and in the process, it dropped the knife and also let go of Susan's neck.
Susan fell on her knees and started coughing out loudly while taking in deep breaths. She almost died now if not for Cassie.
Cassie on the other hand picked up a phone charger and took out the charging brick from the cable, She then threw it at the shadow again.
"Get the fuck out of my house!" She yelled and picked up a chair from the ground.
The shadow looked at the charger coming towards him and then looked at the knife dropped on the floor, it dodged again with a hiss.
After that, it stood up and jumped outside the window.
Cassie ran after it and before it could jump out she grabbed the shadow with the charging cable around it's neck.
"Fuck you bitch!..." She yelled and pulled the shadow inside the room again she twisted the cable a few times with all her force.
