Chapter 223 - Good Man

"Babe you're a prodigy" Jake said, gleefully placing a kiss on his girlfriend's cheek.

"I am?" Jade smiled back. She loved the fact that she had been able to help him and he that was proud of her.

"Of course you're honey" Jake beamed as he planted another kiss on her lips, cheek, nose, chin, making her giggle helplessly.

Calling her a prodigy, treating her specially and planting several kisses on her like as he looked at her with so much pride in his eyes made her realize how unappreciated she had been with Cale. He'd sometimes give her a pat on the head, or like most times he'd just say 'this is for our future. We have to build it and you're just the right woman to build it'

How he wouldn't call her for days after she has helped with something. Most times she'd be the one to call him and he'd give her the, 'I'm busy right now, let me call you back' excuse. She had been so naive that she didn't know that she was been used like a toy - a ladder to success.

Who knew she was missing out on so many things. Being with Jake had made her realize how beautiful and amazing relationships could be. The key to having a loving relationship was simply being with a good man, just hers.

"Does this mean I get to drive your car?" Jade asked anxiously, a pleading smile etched on her face.

"No" Jake firmly replied, his smile completely disappearing from his face.

"No? Still no?" She asked in disbelief.

"But Jake it's just a drive. Pleaseee" She said pulling her million dollar puppy face at him. Jake was stunned when he saw her fluttering her eyes and giving him a puppy face. He quickly looked away before he got swayed, "Don't give me that face" He said without looking at her.

"Why? Just say yes" Jade pressed as she leaned closer to him, wrapping her arms tightly against his neck with her lips almost kissing the crook of his neck and her body tightly pressed against his. "Just one ride, please say yes" She continued to plead, not knowing what her actions was doing to the man underneath her.

"Uhmm" Jake awkwardly cleared his throat. "Ba-be?"

"Hmm?" Jade murmured still holding tightly to his neck with her lips still pouted, desperately waiting for a positive reply.

"Ca-can you stop doing that?" He asked, his tone lowered as he tried to compose himself. Does this girl even know what she was doing? Holding him like that and feeling her hot breath against him with her chest pressed against him like that was highly dangerous. His body was reacting to the softness of her body. Does she even know that he has a tank full and ready to explode at the slightest provocation?

"Doing what?" Jade asked in confusion.

"Rub-bing against - me like that" He said in a soft tone. His words suddenly made Jade stiffen. Her body stiffened lightly when she realized the compromising position they were. She was clinging tightly against him and her body was fully pressed against him.

She pursed her lips as she slowly let go of her hold on him, as she tried to stand up, but Jake was quick to pull her down.

"Where are you going?" He asked her.

"I - I"

Jake knew what she was trying to do, and he didn't blame her, he was the one who had drawn her attention to it. The proximity they shared just now had stirred up some hormones in him, but that didn't mean he wanted her to stop sitting on his laps.

"Baby it's okay. You can sit on me, just don't go pressing all of that on me, I might just lose control" 'I've been sex starved for too long' He added in his mind. He didn't dare to say that out so she wouldn't feel embarrassed.

Jade looked at him and slowly nodded her head. Jake noticed how her countenance has changed and how stiff she was sitting now, being careful not to make same mistake twice. He knew there was no way she'd relax sitting like that anymore. He swiftly scooped her up earning a yelp from her.

"What are you doing? Put me down" She ordered with a stern voice, but Jake didn't listen rather he did something even more crazy. He let go of his hand on her and she yelped even more and instinctively wrapped her arms around his neck clinging unto him like a koala.

"That's more like it" Jake smirked, while Jade smacked him on his chest.

"You should hold on to me like that" He whispered into her ears before lowering her down on the sofa. "You should sit down and relax your back, before it breaks" He said as planted another kiss on her forehead.

"So do I get to drive?" Jade asked again looking at him as he lowered himself beside her.

"You don't give up do you?" He raised a brow at her, while she vigorously shook her head, indicating she doesn't. He took a deep breath and sighed.

"Do you even know how to drive?" He asked.

"Of course I do. I'm a pro at driving" She chipped.

"I don't mean the virtual ones. I mean actual driving" He emphasized just in case she was referring to the car racing games she ha always indulged it and was actually very good at . People always assume they'll probably be good at driving after successfully playing such games. Jade eyed him wickedly, he was underestimating her.

"I know how to drive an actual car" She replied shooting a mock-glare. Jake sighed deeply as he lolled back on the sofa.

"Okay fine" He reluctantly agreed, not because he was trying to reward her for helping him but because he couldn't say no to her.

"Really?" Jade asked with glee, her eyes litting up excitedly.

"Mmm. But Just one drive and I get to pick the location" He told her, which had her bobbing her head up and down vigorously.

"You're the best" She chipped, as she kissed him on his cheek and clung to his arm. Her actions made Jake smile happily. He was happy when she was happy.

Jade couldn't contain her excitement as she kept swinging her legs happily, she could already envision herself driving Jake's elemento. God knows how much she loved the car. She has always dreamt of knowing seeing one, now she was dating a man who owned not just one but quite a number of them.

Who said dating a rich man, was a bad idea.

"Okay don't be too happy about it, before I change my mind" Jake teased.

"You wouldn't dare" She threatened making Jake chuckle. He looked back at his desk and there was still a lot of work of to do, but he wanted to stay like this a little longer. Speaking about work, he looked at his wristwatch, and he realized it was way past lunch time. Jade had to go back to work. He felt bad for making her come all the way to there during working hours.

"Babe I have to take you back to work". He said as he tried standing up, making Jade sit up right as she leg go of his arm.

"Why? You don't like me being here?" She asked.

"Comeon, you that's not true. This is your first time in my office, and I love having you here but you still have to go to work. You don't want to be in trouble, do you?" He reasoned. For some reason his baby girl was being clingy today, and he liked it.

"But I won't be in trouble" She told him, making him tilt his head to the side, his brow cocked at her. "What do you mean?" He asked.

"Because It's a free day. My boss gave me an off day from work, so I came to spend it with you" She informed him.

"Really?"

"Hmm" She nodded her head. "So you see Mr Jake Beau, it's me and you all day. I'll keep you company while you work. What do you say?" She asked wriggling her brows at him.

"Awesome"

Back in Hillary's car

"What happened? Did everything go as planned?" Shirley inquisitively asked as they headed back to Hillary's Mansion.

The woman slowly turned to look at her personal assistant/manager.

"More than expected" She said, as she slowly revealed a smile which showed her dentitions.

"That meant the shareholders did perfectly well?" Shirley asked again. Sometimes she was slow to understand this woman's words.

"They did well. But they can still do more" Hillary said thoughtfully, making Shirley raise her brow in confusion.

"You have more plans for them don't you?" Shirley asked inquisitively.

Hillary looked at her, and signalled her to come closer. Her actions made Shirley frightened, her heart skipping a beat, but she did anyway. She knew better than to delay for a second.

Slowly leaning forward towards Hillary, Hillary grabbed her chin. Her grip was firm but not too strong.

"Honey for some reason, I feel like you're asking too much this days. Anything you want to tell me?" Hillary's words were direct but slow, like she was counting it, but her eyes spoke volumes completely scaring Shirley, who started to shake her head vigorously.

"Mmm" Hillary nodded her head. She let go of her grip on her and slowly smoothened Shirley's hair.

"I like you Shirley. But you should know how to tread cautiously. You should know I feed on my own, and you're not an exception. Like I always say, curiosity kills the–" She paused and cocked her brow at her, indicating for her to complete her sentence.

"Cat" Shirley said in trepidation, making Hillary flash a sweet yet scary smile at her. "You're such a good girl" She said as she leaned back on the seat.

"Be kind and find me a good boy for the night. I'm in a good mood" She said as she raised her head up and closed her eyes.

"Yes Hillary" Shirley replied.

"I wish I still had Kyle, he was such a good boy" She muttered softly.
