Chapter 368 - I will let you rest today

"That is next to my door" Hope's shocking voice trailed off.

This time everyone are surprised, this is something they didn't plan. Looks like even fate is helping them to pair up this couple…

Enrick felt happy and at the same time sad and worried. Even being close to him might keep her in danger.

Well, but this is country X and no one will dare to harm him because this is his brother's empire and council is deeply rooted within here.

"Boss Jeff, did you buy this condo from Miller" Hope asked.

"Yeah, he is the one who sold me this condo. You know him?" Jeff asked.

"Haha….boss. he is my neighbor and also my friend. He will be moving out tomorrow and he called for dinner party" she said.

Enrick frowned. Are they this close, is this Miller boy love Hope….

He felt a strange feeling pricking his heart, he wondered if this is called as jealousy…

Thinking about his thoughts he sighed, he has been trying and trying to keep his thoughts in check but the more he tried the more it is bouncing back…

"Oh, wow.. Someone is blushing.." Scott teased. Jean is smirking while analyzing Rick's reaction. She is totally content with it, because it showed that he is feeling slightly jealous. Though his heart is still threading on some type of confusion.

Rick secretly glanced at Hope who is really blushing. "No brother Scott. I am flushing with anger. The reason he is shifting out is because his roommate tried to take advantage of me"

"That Bastard is so bad.." Hope pouted.

Enrick frowned. "Why didn't you tell anything about it Hope. You will be nagging about each and every thing but you never mentioned about it" he asked annoyingly.

He didn't understand why he felt so protective of her. How she faced everything all alone to herself made him feel guilty..

"Boss, You always tell that I bother you so much and that is the reason I didn't tell you. I don't want you to feel me as a burden just because sister Jean asked you to look after me" Hope said.

He felt a pang in his heart again…..because he never felt her as a burden. But he understood that he never talked sweetly with her, that might be a reason she felt like it.

"It's fine boss. Now I have Rose and her mother staying in my house. They are very protective of me" Hope said.

Enrick sighed in relief. At least with the presence of someone he might keep his thoughts in check and moreover Hope will not dare to take advantage of this 'next door thing' and try to get close to him.

It is not like he hate her being close to him, but he is afraid of how future might turn into. Because he don't want her to suffer and limit her life for him. Just like how Danielle is doing now.

"It's fine Hope. But if you need any help I will be in next door okay. Just don't feel that you are a burden to me…I just say it because you talk so much and get distracted" he blurted out.

Jean who is in Scott's arms smirked. This Rose and her mother are not humans….they are her pet dogs. She again tricked Rick and manipulated him to stay in the condo.

"So you are fine with shifting to my condo" Jeff asked. He thought Rick will not agree and buy another house. But Hope is really too sly..

Enrick nodded his head. Like this he can keep a eye on Hope and also with Rose and her mother, Hope will stay in her limits and he can also control his thoughts.

Scott saw Jean giggling softly in his arms and kissed her lips. "What is so funny Baby…." He whispered in her ear seductively.

He wanted to take her home early and ravish her thoroughly because he is totally in that mood since she agreed to their parents request…

"Scott, Hope said that someone tried to take advantage of her right. It is not anything serious like what Rick is thinking and moreover Rose is not her friend but a pet dog" Jean whispered.

Scott chuckled and pursed his lips from laughing. Hope will surely keep Rick busy and he can have Jean to himself. Because according to him, Jeff and Iris would be busy as well.

But how could he forget about little devil named Jasper…..and moreover Jeff is here to have bonding time with Jean.

As sun started to set they decided to leave. Enrick, Iris will be going back directly to Country X while Jeff has to go to Country D to his family mansion.

After dropping Hope in her house, Jean and Scott went back to his mansion.

As expected, there were no maids or house staff. Their dinner is already prepared and the place looked deserted besides Jean and Scott.

"Hmm….Scott where are others." She asked nervously.

For gods sake she has to go back to INA for meeting early in the morning and she don't want to oversleep or get damn exhausted because of Scott.

"Well, I gave them a day off…baby, what's wrong…hmm" he teased her and wrapped her in his arms while kissing her neck and sucking there.

"I have a meeting with Hermes tomorrow.."

Jean said and shivered as his hands traveled under her dress.

"So.." Scott teased with his hands and as well as lips.

Giving a day off to staff means….he will have her all to himself for whole day and it will make her dead tired for at least two days.

"Scott, let's…Uhmm.. You know.." Jean tried to negotiate with him but she couldn't.

Scott laughed and kissed her cleavage before looking back into her eyes. "Silly, nothing is going to happen as you think…I will let you rest today" he chuckled.
