Chapter 384 - Rick is soooo cute
"Here they are" she chuckled.
"...."
He is rendered speechless again by this silly yet incredibly beautiful woman. She tricked him not once but twice.
At first, she made him believe that her another boss is male when it is a woman. Later, he got tricked again with dogs....Hmph.....she is the first person who tricked him into such a silly things.
"Boss, make yourself comfortable while I prepare our dinner" Hope spoke sweetly as she led him into the living room.
Meanwhile Enrick could feel his heart thumping out, the affect she has on him is something he couldn’t resist.
Since long time he tried his best to control his thoughts, constantly making himself remember that she will be better without him.
But however Jeff is right. Love is something where one have to act selfish and also brave. At first he lost Jean became of his cowardice and his first love is now making love with other man and the irony here is she doesn’t even know how much he loved her.
However with Hope it is different scenario. He might act brave and confess his true feelings but he is more worried about her security. Once they get into a relationship there is no turning back and it will be late to even regret after something happens to her.
Breaking his chain of thoughts Hope gave him a juice to drink and he couldn’t help but wonder how she knew his daily diet. This is the juice he drink before dinner.
"Boss, don’t worry I didn’t spy on you. I just remembered that you use to drink this juice when you are in night shift" Hope chuckled.
’What is this called if this isn’t called spying on him?’ Enrick thought.
However when he saw her in apron he couldn’t deny that she looked s.e.xy. The way she walked swaying her h.i.p.s, how she hummed while cooking almost made him loose this self control.
"Boss. If you are feeling bored you can play with Rose or you can see the TV" Hope said. She could feel his gaze boring on her back.....it effected her more than seeing a romantic X rated film...Uhmm... but she never saw a one.
Rose, a cute white puppy wiggled her tail at him and climbed on to his lap. Rick is really surprised that it didn’t bark because he is a total stranger.
He knew this type of dogs are very protective of their owners...
"Uhmm....boss. She is familiar to your scent." Hope awkwardly smiled.
Rick chuckled at her cute action and raised his brow as if asking ’How?’
"Boss...boss. I am a big Fan girl of you okay. So... please... please don’t ask how, why, when" she hurriedly said and blinked her puppy eyes.
Clearly she is not aware how much her involuntarily actions effected him....
"Hope, why do you always call me boss. But sometimes you call Jeff as only ’Jeff’....he is also a boss to you right" he asked.
This really made him too disappointed, he lost his patience waiting for her to treat him normally. But she never did.
Hope smiled, but beneath it he could see her pain, rejection and sadness. It twisted his heart....
"Boss, I think you don’t remember but in the starting you hated it when me and my team use to call you just Enrick. Especially me.." she choked her last words.
He was indeed rash on her, because he was afraid he will fall for her.
Rick sighed and stood up. He slowly walked into kitchen almost making Hope stiffen and gulp. Will he scold her like he use to do...
But however he smiled apologetically. "Hope, let’s be friends alright...I am sorry for acting like that before. Can you call me ’Rick’" he said softly.
Hope nodded her head gratefully. "Rick" she said and blushed.
Enrick laughed and gave her a light hug taking her off guard. "This is what friends do right" he smiled again. Making her totally mesmerized by him.
"OK...enough of spacing out. Come I will help you cook our dinner" he said and took a bowl from her.
He never felt like this.....not even when he hugged Jean.
........
The next morning.....
Jean woke up but she didn’t have even ounce of energy left to raise her arm. Her stomach is growling with hunger but Scott has imprisoned her in his arms.
His legs were entangled with her own and his face is buried in her neck. She is simply not even in a position to lift her finger. He is wrapped around her like a vine.
He is such a insatiable beast and she regretted taking initiative on previous night.
When she is about to close her eyes and sleep even before this beast can wake up, her mobile vibrated with message.
Being very careful not to wake him up Jean slowly inched her hand and took her mobile.
It is the photos and video sent by Hope. She even recorded her previous dinner and have sent it to Jean and Iris.
"Owww...Rick is too cute" Jean chuckled.
Just enough to wake up a green eyes monster whose hunger has not yet satisfied. If she would not have fainted yesterday...
"Wife, you made a big crime now. How can you praise another man when you are sleeping in your husband’s arms.. hmmm..." Scott dangerously narrowed his eyes.
Jean gulped her saliva. "Hehe....I just said he is cute" Jean innocently said.
"It is enough Wife. Now accept your crime and take the punishment obediently" Scott tightened his arms around her.
Jean couldn’t do anything but close her eyes and accept it.
It is just one of the lame reason for him to devour her. In one or other way she knew he will monopolize her for at least two days.
It is why she already took two days leave and asked Helen not to disturb them.
