章節 82: CHAPTER 82: THE RIGHT PERSON
"I heard you went to visit the Spencer the other day. How did you know where to find him?" Marcus asked Jade while she was preparing for their breakfast.
Yesterday, he decided to go back home when he received a call from Susan informing him about Jade who didn't spent the night at the mansion. She said that Jade brought the dog with her and went somewhere else. He was a bit worried when he heard that Jade didn't come home but when the chairwoman called him to notify that Jade spent the night with her, he sighed in relief.
Also, his resolved to go back home was strengthened when he received a call from Spencer saying that Jade came to him asking his whereabouts.
Flashback:
"Dude, your wife just left my office. She looked so stressed worrying about you." Spencer called Marcus as soon as Jade left his office. "You should have told her instead of yelling at her. She didn't know about your trauma dude."
"What did you tell her?" Marcus emotionlessly uttered. He disregarded Spencer's words.
"Tsk. Are you even listening?" The doctor hissed. "I gave her your condo address. She's maybe on her way there."
"What?!" He suddenly felt alarmed. "And why did you tell her?!" Now he's mad.
"Because she looked so pale and frazzled for not able to contact you for days!" He shouted on the phone. "Even if your marriage is just for convenience, you should at least care for her feelings! You should be good to her or else…"
"Or else what? Are you going to snatched her away from me?" His tone was filled with sarcasm.
"Yes." He voiced confidently. "'Just so you know, I like her. She's kind and innocent, sweet and I'm sure she's caring. You should know she's totally my type and since I know that you'll end your relationship after a few months, I'll make sure to court her by then."
"Are you trying to mess with me? Are you trying to break our friendship?" Marcus got annoyed all of a sudden.
"If that what it takes for me to take good care of her then yes, I'm ready to lose my stingy friend!" Spencer immediately hang up.
His words should vex his best friend since he knew Marcus liked the woman a bit. He-he. 'Let's see if you can stay still.' He smirked evilly. However, Marcus became anxious upon hearing Spencer's remarks. He definitely knew that Jade could get Spencer's attention but he never expected him to be so vocal about his intentions.
"Damn you, Spencer!" Marcus cursed aloud while clenching his phone tight.
He was in deep thought when he suddenly heard the doorbell rings. Could it be Jade? His face lit up before walking towards the door. He twisted the knob and opened the door, but to her surprise, he saw someone he never thought of seeing.
"Rachelle? What are you doing here?"
However, instead of answering, the woman smiled and push the door so she could enter.
"Do I need a reason to visit my boyfriend?" She uttered as soon as she settled herself on the soft couch.
"As far as I could remember, I didn't tell you to come here."
"You didn't even call me for weeks now!" Her tone hints annoyance. "You didn't even apologize when you embarrassed me in front of your staffs before. Seems like you have forgotten about me now." She pouted in disappointment.
"Rachelle, I've been busy the past few weeks, you know that right?" He sat opposite her.
"Busy? As far as I remember, no matter how busy you are in the past, you never failed to check on me every single day." She looked at him accusingly. "You… changed a lot. Did you know that?"
Marcus couldn't say a word since his mind recalled what Spencer told him before.
'You choose between them. You must weigh who you want to keep by your side and who you want to let go for now. It's not possible to keep both women by your side. If you do, there will always be someone who will suffer greatly because of you.'
'Who do you want to keep among them? He was pondering on Spencer's words that he couldn't hear Rachelle's words.
"Are you even listening to me?" The woman is now sulking to see that his attention is fully on him.
"Rachelle, I have something to tell you." Marcus immediately looked at her intently.
Why is she feeling nervous all of a sudden after meeting Marcus' gaze? Could it be that… She gulped in dread.
**End of Flashback**
"You just met him once yet you spent time as if you were close friends already." Marcus muttered without looking at the woman.
"Did he tell you I went to his office?" Jade was a bit surprised. "I couldn't sleep since I was so worried about you. You didn't even send me a message despites texting you how many times. You've been ignoring my calls too so I searched your phone directories in your office and searched for Spencer's contact information."
"You invaded my personal stuffs?" He suddenly stared at the smirking woman.
"I'm sorry, I know I should not have done it but you left me with no choice. You should have shoot me a message no matter how mad you are to me!" She pouted pitifully.
The man heaved a sigh so he could release the forming anger within him.
"Did you even eat properly while staying at your condo?" Worry could be heard from her tone. "You should at least come to work no matter how mad you are."
"I needed a break."
The woman raised her brow upon hearing the man softened up. "I'm sorry. But I needed much time to sort out my mind. I've been bombarded with a lot of things the past few days so I took a break… from everything."
Jade slowly sat at the chair beside the man. She can still feel the pressure in him so she touched his right hand on the table.
He met the woman's smiling eyes.
"I don't know what you are going through right now but I know you are strong and you are able to overcome everything."
"How are you so sure about that?" Marcus chuckled mockingly.
"I know because I believe in you. You are stronger than what you think, Marcus."
"Tsk!" He hissed outside but on the inside, Marcus heart skipped a beat. Hearing how the woman trusts him made him happy and her words also encouraged him a bit.
Now that he thought about it, did he really choose the right person to keep by his side?
"Jade…" His eyes suddenly became serious. "I have something important to tell you."
"What is it?" Jade's fluttering heart suddenly changed into anxiousness. Why is she feeling edgy all of a sudden?
