Bab 440: I'll be back

After observing him to this point, Jeslyn regained her composure and said:

"I thought the company would evict you for leaving without a word to anyone." Her hate for this guy suddenly planted itself in her heart and started to sprout. How dare he try to be her husband! 

He smiled, but this time, it wasn't how Maverick would smile. That gave Jeslyn a moment of relief from the suffocating feeling she was having. 

"They already did. They terminated my contract a few minutes ago."

"Good for you. If you'll excuse me, I have a business to attend to." The minute she walked past him, he yanked her back. Jeslyn panicked and a yelp escaped her lips. The pull was too sudden for her to react, so she almost fell, but luckily, he was quick to stop her from falling. With his hand wrapped tightly around her waist, he pulled her to his chest. 

Jeslyn almost lost her breath. But by the time she realized what was happening, she was securely in his arms.
