Chapter 388 Uninvited Guest

"You dare talk back? I'll beat you to death, you little jerk!" Jessica, half amused and half infuriated by

Daniel's stark words, raised her hand and started hitting him once more. Beauty, lying in bed,

couldn’t bear to watch the two flirt in such a manner.

"Are you two quite finished with your flirting? Don't you see a sick person right here? I'm barely

recovering, and you're adding to my trauma with your antics; do you even care?"

"You could try flirting with a man in front of me, too!" Jessica retorted with a grin.

"Find a man? Why bother when I could just steal your country boy? It’d save me the trouble. After

all, your mom clearly doesn't fancy him and sent me to break you two up. Maybe I'll just be his

mistress?"

Beauty made the suggestive remark intentionally, hoping to stir up trouble between Jessica and

Daniel. No woman would tolerate her man entangled with her cousin, after all.

Jessica's face darkened at Beauty's overstepping joke, warning, "Beauty, don't take your jokes too

far."

"Oh, you're taking me seriously now? As if I'd fancy a country boy. That said, I won't give up since

I've accepted my aunt's request. I must ensure you two split before grandpa's 80th birthday

celebration."

"My marriage isn't your concern, Beauty."

"I don’t wish to interfere, but your mother assigned me this task. If you're unhappy, take it up with

her. Get her to call off the request, and I’ll step back."

"Enough," Jessica turned to leave.

Spotting Daniel still lingering in the room, Jessica snapped, "Idiot, what are you still doing here?"

"I’m not doing anything!"

"Then get out now!"

"Why be so harsh?"

"You dare call me harsh?"

Jessica stormed back, grabbed Daniel by the ear, and dragged him out of the room.

"Honey, spare me! I was wrong! You're going to rip off my ear!"

"It would serve you right! Your ears don't listen anyways, they might as well come off!"

...

The next day, in the CEO's office of TMO, Jessica was reviewing a financial report while Daniel

amused himself by writing on her smooth, jade-like thigh with a pen. The sensation tickled Jessica,

prompting her to glare at him and ask, "Aren’t you annoying?"

"Not at all, it's fun!"

"Fun my ass! Get out! You're causing nothing but trouble!"

Jessica snatched the pen from Daniel and asked, "What did you write?"

"I wrote my honey’s the prettiest!"

Curious, Jessica glanced down at the wet ink on her thigh and could vaguely make out the words.

The first letter was 'S', the second 'l', the third 'u', and the fourth 't'.

"I'll kill you!" Jessica was both angry and amused.

This idiot was getting bolder by the minute. Yet, he did have a way with fun.

At that moment, an unwelcome guest walked in. Andrew? The sight of his face caused Jessica's

previously cheerful expression to turn icy.

"What are you doing here?" she demanded.
