Chapter 186
I turned my face away to avoid his questions.
He had strong arms that were typically hidden beneath crisp white shirts. But now, they fully demonstrated his inherent masculinity:
“Can you stop hugging me like that?” I frowned in obvious discomfort. “Don’t you realize how uncomfortable you’re making me?”
But he didn’t let me go. His gaze darkened as it roamed over my face. “I know you said what you said on purpose.”
“What did I say?” For a moment, I forgot what I’d said to him.
“You told me that Frederick was special to you. I know you were lying.”
I scoffed. “So what if I lied? And what if I didn’t? I’ve already made up my mind. No one is going to stop me!”
“Alright.” He suddenly let go. “Go ahead. Let’s see how long you can keep this up.”
I gritted my teeth and glared at him. “Just you wait, Jonathan. I’m going to earn 100 million dollars one day and slap those divorce papers right in your face!”
He sat down and ignored me completely. His fingers rested against his brow in silence.
I turned on my heel and left, every step fueled by fury.
As soon as I opened the door, I was greeted by Alicia standing by the office door, waiting for me. As soon as she saw me walk out, she rushed forward. “You’ve gone too far, Elise! Jonathan is just worried about you. How could you speak to him that way?”
I shoved her aside. “I’m warning you. Don’t mess with me. I’m in a really bad mood today!”
I jabbed a finger at her. “You think I’m scared of you, Alicia?”
