Jake couldnât help but tremble, instinctively pulling back the hand holding Yvetteâs arm. However, after realizing what he had done, he felt he had acted too cowardly, and it was humiliating.
Reluctantly, he spoke up, âWhatâs wrong with me holding my bossâs arm? We have a good relationship.â
His words sounded assured, but his reaction was honest as he dared not touch Yvetteâs arm again.
Wilson couldnât be bothered to deign him with a response. Without sparing a glance, he naturally took Yvetteâs hand, his deep, magnetic voice especially gentle as he said, âIâll take you home.â
Jake was furious at being ignored. He glared at Wilson, but Yvette stood protectively in front of him.
She frowned and said unhappily, âDonât glare at him.â âº
Jake heard a loud crack as he felt his heart break into pieces. âBoss⦠youâve become so biased now!â
Yvette was way too protective of Wilson.
âNo, youâre overthinking it,â Yvette blinked her eyes lightly, responding with an air of righteousness, âIâm very impartial! Donât spout nonsense.â
Jake was speechless.
Wilsonâs sensual lips curled up into a smile. A low chuckle escaped his throat, leaving a tingling sensation to anyone who heard it. âThatâs right, my fiancée is the most impartial person.â
Hearing this, Yvette immediately lifted her chin toward Jake with an expression that seemed to say, âYou heard that, right?â
Jake was left even more speechless, pouting and secretly glaring 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 Yvetteâs 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 glare at Wilson and scoffed coldly. âDonât think just because the boss likes you now that it means anything. Sheâs only into your looks. Once Mr. Phillip returns, she wonât bother with you anymore!â
Wilsonâs eyes instantly narrowed dangerously. They were filled with a murderous intent that sent chills down oneâs spine. âSay that again, I dare you.â
âCrap! How terrifying!â 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 didnât dare provoke Wilson any further, so he quickly made his escape!
Wilson clenched his fists tightly; the viciousness in his eyes hadnât faded, and his expression was as grim and terrifying as ever.
From Jakeâs words, it seemed that Yvette had a close relationship with Xavier Phillip of Dark Organisation.
âYvie, when are you coming back? Adam has returned and is eager to see you!â On the other end of the phone, Yaraâs gentle voice came through.
Yvette responded with a softened expression, âMom, Iâll be back soon.â
âThatâs great!â Yara was clearly delighted. âYvie, Iâll be waiting for you at home!â
212 âMrs. Murrayâ¦â Wilson had quietly approached Yvette, his menacing air now reined in. He spoke to Yara with a respectful and courteous tone.
âOh, Wilson is there too!â Yaraâs voice on the other end brightened with a radiant smile. âI love the flowers and plants that youâve sent! Youâre so thoughtful; Iâve been searching for these for ages and couldnât find them. Thank you so much!â
