A Rose 428


    Jake couldn’t help but tremble, instinctively pulling back the hand holding Yvette’s arm. However,


    after realizing what he had done, he felt he had acted too cowardly, and it was humiliating.


    Reluctantly, he spoke up, “What’s wrong with me holding my boss’s arm? We have a good


    rtionship.”


    His words sounded assured, but his reaction was honest as he dared not touch Yvette’s arm again.


    Wilson couldn’t be bothered to deign him with a response. Without sparing a nce, he naturally


    took Yvette’s hand, his deep, maic voice especially gentle as he said, “I’ll take you home.”


    Jake was furious at being ignored. He red at Wilson, but Yvette stood protectively in front of him.


    She frowned and said unhappily, “Don’t re at him.” ?


    Jake heard a loud crack as he felt his heart break into pieces. “Boss… you’ve be so biased


    now!”


    Yvette was way too protective of Wilson.


    “No, you’re overthinking it,” Yvette blinked her eyes lightly, responding with an air of righteousness,


    “I’m very impartial! Don’t spout nonsense.”


    Jake was speechless.


    Wilson’s sensual lips curled up into a smile. A low chuckle escaped his throat, leaving a tingling


    sensation to anyone who heard it. “That’s right, my fiancée is the most impartial person.”


    Hearing this, Yvette immediately lifted her chin toward Jake with an expression that seemed to say,


    “You heard that, right?”


    Jake was left even more speechless, pouting and secretly ring at Wilson.


    Wilson might have been smug now, but once Xavier found out that he had stolen Yvette, his good


    days were numbered!


    Suddenly, the phone in Yvette’s pocket began vibrating intensely. Upon seeing that it was a call


    from Yara, she moved to a quiet spot to answer.


    As soon as Yvette walked away, Jake immediately seized the opportunity to re at Wilson and


    scoffed coldly. “Don’t think just because the boss likes you now that it means anything. She’s only


    into your looks. Once Mr. Phillip returns, she won’t bother with you anymore!”


    Wilson’s eyes instantly narrowed dangerously. They were filled with a murderous intent that sent


    chills down one’s spine. “Say that again, I dare you.”


    “Crap! How terrifying!” Jake thought.


    Jake felt the temperature in the air drop rapidly, as if he had been plunged into a frozen abyss. His


    legs went weak. He didn’t dare provoke Wilson any further, so he quickly made his escape!


    Wilson clenched his fists tightly; the viciousness in his eyes hadn’t faded, and his expression was


    as grim and terrifying as ever.


    From Jake’s words, it seemed that Yvette had a close rtionship with Xavier Phillip of Dark


    Organisation.


    “Yvie, when are youing back? Adam has returned and is eager to see you!” On the other end of


    the phone, Yara’s gentle voice came through.


    Yvette responded with a softened expression, “Mom, I’ll be back soon.”


    “That’s great!” Yara was clearly delighted. “Yvie, I’ll be waiting for you at home!”

    “Mrs. Murray…” Wilson had quietly approached Yvette, his menacing air now reined in. He spoke to


    Yara with a respectful and courteous tone.


    “Oh, Wilson is there too!” Yara’s voice on the other end brightened with a radiant smile. “I love the


    flowers and nts that you’ve sent! You’re so thoughtful; I’ve been searching for these for ages and


    couldn’t find them. Thank you so much!”
