CHAPTER 171

Three days later.

Rebecca had sent Amber to take care of Jane, so Jane was doing fine now. Her chickenpox was almost gone, though the spots were still mildly visible all over her body. She was yet to leave her room, even though she really wanted to go out and get some fresh air.

“Mom and dad haven’t called me even once,” she puckered a little. “It’s like they went for their honeymoon.”

Her thoughts shifted back to Rebecca once again. “She doesn’t know it, yet, but she’s fighting a losing battle. Benjamin is drunk on her, but I’ll be his new wine.

“I never intended to take their relationship apart, but I’ve been waiting for the right person my whole life just like her. Maybe not as much as she did, and I’m not as cute as her, either, but… most average women are not cute, and I think I can be more intelligent, honest, supportive, and cooperative to my partner than she can be. These are only basic human qualities, but they are rare these days. I’m sure Benjamin will be attracted to me if she sees these qualities in me.”

Just then, Amber brought two people into the room. She recognized one of them straight away. “Evelyn!” It was her college friend. Seeing how they brought fruits and flowers, she was surprised. “How did you know I was sick?”

“Rebecca texted me,” replied Evelyn, and Jane couldn’t help but look at the tall handsome guy in a suit standing behind her.

“You two keep talking. I’ll be outside,” the guy said and hurriedly left. “Who’s he?” Jane wiggled her eyebrows. “Time really changes people. Can’t believe you of all people found a guy so good-looking.”

“He’s my boss, you idiot,” Evelyn tossed a rose in her face. “There’s nothing going on between us.” “Oh, yeah? But why do I see some unnatural glow in your face?” “That’s because you’re an idiot!” Evelyn threw the whole bouquet this time.

“Aw,” Jane cried out.

“He’s Adam Conteid. My CEO. He’s a big playboy, but he keeps his cool around me.”

“Is that so?”

A few seconds passed, and Jane sat up.

remembered the conversation she had with Rebecca who told her Jane subconsciously preferred strong men who still liked domineering women because her mother also controlled her father, and that Jane was thinking Benjamin was also like that, given how he bore all the insults thrown at him by his in laws.
