Chapter 48 - My Woman

Jennet hastened her pace towards the elevator and quickly stepped in. As she waited for the door to close, a figure suddenly appeared and stopped the elevator from closing.

Jennet's face turned sour as she looked straight at the person who was stepping in elegantly inside the elevator.

Inhaling a deep breath silently, she made way for the person and stepped aside while averting her gaze to the side. Then, after the door closed, she pressed on the button for the eighth floor.

Mira stood beside her and pressed for the tenths floor button shortly after her, then, she stood there silently. She was looking high and mighty as always but the annoyance in her face was visible.

"So, you're officially going out with Luca."

Mira broke the silence with a statement while clutching tightly to the reports in her hands. She turned her head towards Jennet with a piercing stare.

She had the urge to toss the papers in Jennet's face and jumped on her body, pulling her hair off until she's bald. But, for now, she had to calm herself and think rationally.

Jennet looked back at her. "We are not going out." She said, denying what she had said.

They are definitely not going out with each other. She never agreed to be with him either. Everything was just a misunderstanding but everyone else failed to realise the truth.

She had struggled so hard to explained herself but no one ever listened to her. Plus, the timing was always not right when she tried to do the explanation.

Mira turned her body facing her. She snorted. "Well, if you're not going out with each other, what explanation will you give me about that ring on your finger then?"

Jennet stared into her glaring eyes, "This ring is not from Mr Tybelg." She pressed her tone.

She was getting annoyed just by looking at the beautiful woman before her. Mira was blindly jealous of her none exist relationship with Luca.

Mira chuckled in disdain. Was this woman trying to act all innocent as always? She was not satisfied and clearly, Jennet was lying to her as always.

"Then, who gave you this ring?" She raised an eyebrow. "Another rich sugar daddy with lustful eyes towards a woman like you? Tell me who would lust over a tasteless woman like you?" She asked.

Jennet turned her hands into fists by her side. "Well, Ms Henderson, as for who gave me the ring had nothing to do with anyone in this company let alone Mr Tybelg or anyone out there that you may think of but everything was just a simple misunderstanding."

Mira chuckled, "Well, a simple misunderstanding... A classic excuses that were so popular even up to this modern age."

She eyed Jennet and snorted, "Luca had given you a villa. So, he must be one who gave you this ring, unless this ring is the payment for selling your body to another man out there, then it can explain everything. You're clearly a gold digger with the worst attitude in this century." She mocked her.

Jennet clenched her jaws tightly. Her anger meter rose. She had the urge to do an uppercut hit under her chin like how Atom does uppercut hit to Zeus from the movie Real Steel!

But, she can only imagine doing all of the brutal action in her head. If she really did it in reality, Mira would probably have lost all of her beautiful white teeth and then she would have been called a young granny! Hahaha! (Evil laugh by the FL)

Just because she had a ring on, everyone made the worst assumptions of her. Just because she had a ring on, everyone labelled her as a gold digger. But, no one care to get to know of the truth.

"I have never done anything nor have I sold myself to anyone out there." She explained once again. Her face became darker and darker by the minute.

Mira chuckled and exhaled a deep sight, "Ha... A woman who knew how to sugar coat her sugar daddies would have no flaws in telling lies like how you did now. I am very impressed. I had always wondered why do the males in this company had a thing for you when you're so damn broke and had no redeeming beauty quality but only know how to open your legs for them." She kept on bombarding her with insults.

She leans at her and asked in a sneering tone, "Tell me, how many men had you slept with? Have you had fun counting the nights that you had spent with different men every night while getting paid for some lousy amount of money?"

The anger meter in Jennet was reaching its maximum level by now. Staring into the eyes of the woman who had claimed herself as her love rival, had really shot her anger to the max!

Jennet was exuding an enormous amount of dark energy inside the elevator as she puffed hot like a bubbling hot volcano. The spacious elevator felt so cramped even though there were just the two of them inside it.

She had been ignoring all of their verbal torments for the past five years and had even moved out from the apartment for the sake of staying sane for the next coming years of her life.

If Mira continued to torment her mind with her rude words, she will really turn the elevator into their wrestling rings and when she does, she will beat her real bad.

She will beat her into a pulp and would slam her beautiful face onto the wall and mop her face on the floor while letting out an evil laugh.

Mira chuckled when she saw how red the face before her. She felt a sense of relieved as she taunted Jennet even more with a smirk full of mockery.

"Well, well... A mistress had always been described as a woman who knew how to stay composed no matter how harsh the torments she got from her surrounding." She said and then, she looked at the puffing hot woman from top to bottom.

She clicked her tongue while letting out a wicked chuckle. "But, looking at you now made me think that you're actually a prostitute, no, you're even lowest than a prostitute."

Jennet growled angrily and before she could pounce onto the wicked woman, the elevator had stopped and the door was now open.

"Aha, ladies!" Came a cheerful voice from outside the elevator.

Susan Banner, the Officer of Human Resources was standing in front of the elevator and was smiling widely at the two ladies.

Her gaze then turned towards Jennet who was in the middle of posing on doing a crane style attack upon the smiling Mira.

Jennet returned back to her senses as soon as she set her gaze upon the smiling Susan Banner. She immediately rearranged her posture and walked past Mira without even turning back to look at her.

Her heart was still burning so badly and by now, her heart had already turned into black charcoal that could ignite fire anytime.

"Happy working Jennet." Said Mira with a sinister chuckle from inside of the elevator before the door closes before her.

Susan Banner turned her attention towards the grave looking Jennet.

She smiled warmly and said, "Stay calm. Don't let anger control your rationality. Here, have some chocolate." She handed a bar of chocolate towards Jennet.

Jennet eyed the chocolate. Her anger dissipated slowly a soon as she saw the chocolate bar. She took it and said her thanks to Susan and tore it open at the far end before taking a bite.

Susan Banner had always brought chocolate bars along with her every time she's making her round in the company, doing her daily routine of inspecting each department. She's a woman who had ways kept a smiley face and always stayed composed.

Susan Banner smiled as they walked along at the hallway. "Just ignore what Mira had said. You're amazing no matter what other people say about you. Just be yourself at all times." She said while patting Jennet's back, calming her.

"Thank you, Mrs Banner." Jennet smiled at her and took another bite from the chocolate bars.

Susan Banner smiled and said, "You're welcome. If there's anything that you need to share with me, I am always available."

"I will Mrs Banner but for now, I still can manage," Jennet said with a little smile.

Susan Banner had been so kind to her since the first day she worked in the company. Well, honestly, she had been very warm to all of the staffs in the company and it made her so popular among the staffs.

They parted ways when Jennet entered her office. She glanced around the office while holding on to the chocolate bar in her hand. Everyone was eyeing her and she can tell what had been playing in their minds.

Some of them were cursing her for going out with their heartthrob and some were praising her for her boldness of charging into wars, fighting all the jealous women around her.

Jennet headed for her desk and sat down. She then started to drown herself with her work but she really couldn't put her focus in her work after the lunch was over.

She kept recalling the hug and kiss from Luca that had actually scared the wit out of her. She didn't want to meet Luca and didn't even want to talk to him. She still felt troubled over what happened that afternoon. She prayed for a chance to escape meeting Luca.

However, luck was never on her side...

Later that evening, after work, she left the office and found Luca had already stood beside her car, leaning his back against the rear, looking so dashing in his suit.

"Luca, what are you doing here?" She halted, looking so troubled and worried to death.

Luca smiled at her and started to rearrange his suit. "Well, I am waiting for my woman." He said looking confident.

His woman?!

Since when did she become his woman?

She was speechless as she made her way towards him. She glanced around and a few of the staff were leaving the building. Some of them were glancing towards them. Their eyes were burning with rage!

Jennet felt so uneasy as she stood before the smiling face. "Luca, I need to tell you that everything was a misunderstanding. I am..."

Luca shook his head. "Jennet, I am not going to listen to your excuses. I know you're feeling insecure because of my past relationships with all my exes but I am honest. I will treasure you." He said with determination.

"But, Luca..."

"Jennet, you're an unmarried woman and I am also an unmarried man. I do not care what other people may say about you but I am honest with what I had said before." Explained Luca again, never giving her the time to explain herself.

Jennet inhaled a deep breath. "Luca, I need to tell you the truth about everything. It was just a misunderstanding. I..."

"I understand. You may have thought everything through but I am not going to give up on you since you have reserved yourself for me. I will wait for you to say 'Yes'." He said at last with a smile.

"Also, since we will be going for the trip to N Country, I look forward to being spending the time with you." He said.

He stepped forward towards her with a smile that could melt the heart of those who see it. But, Jennet was starting to feel so scared to be approached by him and she stepped back a pace.
