Sweet Addiction

Chapter 113 Coffee

Jessica felt worried.

Last night, she couldn't help but kiss him. At the thought of this, she felt excited and sad.

She was thrilled because it was the first intimate contact between them after so many years of acquaintance, but she was disappointed at Aaron's reaction.

At that time, she clearly saw the impatience in Aaron's eyes.

But what could she do?

The warmth in Aaron's arms further aroused her desire to conquer. For so many years, she couldn't give up.

Sara's eyes twinkled when she heard Jessica's question. She nodded with a smile and said, "Well... But there is a meeting to be held, so he may not be able to come..."

Sara said cautiously when she saw the expression on Jessica's face.

She knew clearly how much Aaron had done to Jessica, and Aaron refused her wholeheartedly. However, Sara also knew clearly that Jessica had loved Aaron for so many years, she loved him wholeheartedly.

If it were her, she would not be able to hold on.

However, Jessica just nodded calmly and said with a smile, "It doesn't matter. He should be busy with his work. When he has time, he can take time to visit my parents." Then Jessica held Sara's arm and went back to the living room.

In fact, Jessica was also very sad, but since Aaron had been rejecting her, she needed to convince Owen and Sara. Anyway, she must marry Aaron, no matter what method was used.

After taking a nap in the lounge room, Aaron felt much better. His head was still uncomfortable, and he had been working for a long time, which made it worse.

Wearing his clothes, he came out and saw his secretary put a cup of coffee on the table. She smiled and said, "Mr. Aaron, here is your coffee."

"Are you still working?" Aaron walked closer, sipped at his coffee and asked casually.

"I'm leaving soon. I noticed that you were still here. I was afraid that you might stay up late. So I made you a cup of coffee," the secretary lowered her head and said shyly.

She had heard that Aaron attended the birthday party with Jessica yesterday. Hearing this news, the secretary was really mixed. This broke the rumors of the same sex and raised some hope in her heart. But the worry was that Aaron and Jessica attended together. This also proved the relationship between Aaron and Jessica.

Aaron didn't notice what the woman was thinking. He took a sip of coffee and frowned. Then he took another sip and asked, "Why is the coffee different?"

Surprised, the secretary raised her head and explained, "The secretary of Mr. Earl sent this to me, saying that it was bought specially by Earl abroad, which has the effect of nourishing the spirit."

Hearing this, Aaron's face darkened. He put the coffee cup on the table heavily with a bang. He snorted coldly. The effect of soul nurturing? How ridiculous. Earl's tricks were too low.

When the secretary heard him, she trembled with fear. Looking at the coffee spilt by him, she took a few steps back and looked at Aaron who remained silent, not knowing what was wrong with him.

"How long have you been making coffee for me with this?" Aaron glanced at the woman in front of him.

It was not until then that the secretary realized that there was something wrong with the coffee. She said, "It has been nearly a week, but I didn't take the coffee every day."

Because of the small quantity, she wanted to save.

Upon hearing this, Aaron understood why he had discovered this just now. He said coldly, "Is this how you work as my secretary? You're bold enough to use what others have brought to you."

After hearing this, the secretary shook her head and said in a crying tone, "No, I... I used it because she said it is better than yours..."

"Really? When did you become so soft hearted? Don't listen to others' gossip!" Aaron interrupted her and said sternly.

The secretary knew she was in the wrong, so she bit her lip and said, "Mr. Aaron, it's my fault. I shouldn't have listened to others people. Please punish me..."

Aaron looked at the woman in front of him.

This woman had been working for him for many years. She had become a successful career woman from a little girl who knew nothing at all. He knew vaguely that someone had tried to poach her before, but she refused.

She seemed to be telling the truth.

Aaron sighed. It was just a warning for her.

"All right. You can leave now. Remember this mistake. Don't make such a mistake again!"

Hearing this, the secretary was surprised and she was ready for being fired, but unexpectedly, Aaron forgave her.

She nodded hurriedly, wiped her tears and said earnestly, "Mr. Aaron, I'll be more careful." Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

Unwilling to see her crying face, Aaron waved his hand and asked her to leave.

But he stopped her when she was about to close the door.

Shocked, the secretary looked back at him in fear that he would go back on his word, "Mr. Aaron, is there anything else..."

Aaron said, "Bring me the thing she gave you. You have to keep it a secret. Don't tell anyone. If... Earl's secretary came to ask you and you said that you have used this for me."

Hearing this, the secretary nodded and left.

She was a little nervous, thinking that there must be something wrong with the coffee, and she seemed to know something very terrible.

Then Aaron left the company with the car key and the coffee bag given by the secretary. While he was driving, he felt confused and drove aimlessly.

He slowed down his car, looking around the bustling streets and lovers holding each other's hands. He had never had such a feeling of loneliness before.

With a second thought, he remembered that it was after he had been with Irene that he had such feeling when he was alone.

At the thought of Irene, he was stunned. His yearning seemed to burst out from his chest. When he recovered, he had already driven the car to his house's downstairs unconsciously.

After parking the car, he lowered the back of the chair a little and looked up at the window of his bedroom with Irene.

In this way, he could only stop thinking about her.

Although he was also angry with Irene, his heart still ached for her. It reminded him of the words Irene said to him when Irene was crying last night.

He knew that Irene was afraid of Bonnie. It was a sequela of depending on others for a living. Even though Irene didn't know the truth.

In fact, he was in the same situation. He also knew what it felt like, so he indulged Irene again and again and lied to her mother.

However, there was a limit to his patience.
