Axell had no clue about her history with Albert, so he played up to Albert.
If she wanted to stick with Axell, she couldnât keep tutoring Albertâs daughter.
Jessie made her decision.
Next day, at the Waston Group headquarters.
After escorting a VIP out, Albert sank onto the couch for a breather.
He reached for a cigarette but thought better of it.
Just then, his secretary Emma Messer, popped in.
âMr.
Waston, Miss Greenâs here to see you.
Should I send her in?â
Miss Green?
Albertâs brow furrowed.
âDo you mean Jessie?â
Emma grinned.
âYep, sheâs downstairs.
Do you want to see her?â
He leaned back, taking a deep breath.
âLet her in.
And donât hold her back anymore.
If she wants to see me, give her the green Light.

She nodded.
âGot it, Mr.
Waston.
â
She departed.
In around five minutes, Albert was resting his eyes when he heard the door creak.
âEmma, step out for a second,â he called.
Emma hesitated briefly, but then left with a smile, closing the door gently.
Finally, he opened his eyes.
Jessie strutted in, sporting a lovely lilac dress.
He recalled she snagged it ages ago, but it still looked fresh and trendy.
Her hair was up and her makeup was subtle.
She looked⦠amazing!
Her vibe was upbeat too.
Albertâs facial muscles twitched slightly as he locked eyes with her.
âIt seems things are going well with you and Axell.
Are you ready to get serious?â
Jessie approached wearing a serious expression.
âI have something to say.
â
With a solemn expression, she withdrew twenty thousand dollars from her purse, placing it and the unsigned contract on the table.
âIâm all in with him.
Heâs clueless about our history which is why he is so friendly with you.
To dodge future drama⦠Mr.
Waston, Iâve thought it through.
I canât tutor your kid anymore.
â
With that, she gave him a slight nod, ready to leave.
But Albert halted her.
He probed, âYou care for him that much? Enough to completely dodge interaction with me?â
