Chapter 109 - Growing On Him

Jade was astonished by the sight before her as she walked out of the doors of Xenox. It was Jake leaning by the car door of a grey Audi R8 in all his glory.

Jade didn't know if she was shocked by Jake's attitude of not discreetly waiting for her or by the fact that the car before her was too eye catching and glamorous. 

If she could, she'd love to reprimand Jake for being a little bit showy, but she also knew she could not. She feared what people would say if they should see him there and recognize him as the CEO of Acrosoft. There might be some misunderstanding about her and how she had got the contract right?

Jade hastened her step towards him since she had seen him first. As she walked closer, Jake in turn spotted her. A smile spread across his face as soon as he saw walking towards him looking all professional and gorgeous in the formal wear she had on. Just yesterday, she was slaying in her ripped jean and tees, and now she looked different in her formal clothes.

Jake could swear that this girl would have been one hell of a model if she had ventured into that profession. He had seen her in different outfits and every time, Jade seems to blow his mind away with how she owned each outfit and shone brightly in them, like she has just walked out of a picture frame.

Everything about this girl was appealing to him. Her smile, her curves, the way she swayed her ass when she walked, most especially her full lips. When she bit them, it somehow ignite a feeling in him, feelings that were unfathomable. Jake was lost in reverie so much that he didn't know that Jade was standing in front of him.

"Mr Beau?" Jade called again, suddenly feeling cautious of the way Jake was staring at her. Jake's eyes shot up as he snapped back to reality.

"Sorry miss Jade, business thoughts" He said with a knowing smile, making Jade narrow her eyes suspiciously. For a moment there she had seen the way he looked at her as she walked closer. It wasn't lascivious as it used to, but there was something there. Something she didn't quite understand.

"Good evening sir" Jade greeted courteously.

"Good evening Miss Jade" He sweetly greeted back. He tried reaching for the door but Jade's hand was already on it.

"Let's go" He said quickly turning around to the other side of the car.

Jake was amused when he stepped into the car and he found Jade appreciating the interior of the car. Jade could tell that the car was remodeled to meet his taste.

Just how much does this guy have that he spent so much on cars? The rich sure didn't know what to do with money. But why was she complaining? Being a car fanatic herself, she was sure she might do same or maybe worse if she had as much money as Jake did.

"You like this one right?" Jake asked with an amused smile as he stared at her. His voice jolted Jade back to her senses. She couldn't believe she was doing it again, completely embarrassing herself in front of him as usual. 

"Yeah. It's so cool" Jade replied honestly, her hands subconsciously running through the fabric of the seat. She retreated her hands when she realized what she was doing.

Jake almost let out a laugh when he saw her actions but he stifled it in, because laughing would only make her feel more embarrassed than she already was, and that was far from his goal of getting her to feel comfortable and relaxed around him.

"You don't have to feel embarrassed, I'm sure I'll do worse if I were you" He said smiling at her. Jade looked at him quietly and she also revealed a small smile of her own, though she was still feeling embarrassed.

"So where are we going to?" Jade cleared her throat and asked.

" Well since I'm bound to prove my words to you, we'll have to continue our hunt today"

"Sorry sir, but don't you think you have proved that already. I was being honest when I said that burrito was the best among all the ones we tasted. And those burritos we had last night was enough to last us a year don't you think so?" Jade said politely, she didn't want to anger him by interfering with his plans. But truth be told she was already feeling repulsed by the sound of the word burritos. She had eaten alot last night, that she had to skip breakfast and had a light lunch earlier because she still felt full. One more bite of a burrito, she was sure she would puke out her lunch.

Jake gave her a thoughtful look. He was also tired of the burritos, but this was the only thing he could come up with so he could spend time with her. It was just Wednesday, meaning he had two more days before Saturday. He was beginning to feel that saturday  was too far ahead. Jade was slowly growing on him, and he couldn't help it even though he still hasn't figured out why.

"So what should we do? I'm already here" Jake said. Hopefully she won't be send him home, it would be badbif she did. He'd rather eat a few more burrito with her than go home empty handed.

"Erm..are you hungry?" Jade asked.

"Yes" Jake nodded. He hasn't eaten all day. Because he had suffered from constipation last night and had decided to starve a bit, and even when he felt hungry he was so engrossed with work that he barely had the time for a snack.

"So why don't you try something different" Jade suggested as she gazed at him. "There must be something you've been craving for other than burritos right?" Jade asked, patiently waiting for his response.

"Well, I don't really have much to crave for. I eat whatever the chefs prepare" He shrugged.

"Why don't we go for whatever you'd like. There must be something you'd want" He said, as he waited for her to reply. Left to him, he didn't want anything other than her time. He was fine, even more than fine when she was around.. Eating burritos or whatever was just a ploy to spend more time with her.
