When I joined him, he stared at me for a moment before he resumed eating. Due to my nervousness, I nearly forgot that he was shirtless! Unconsciously, my eyes traveled towards his well-formed chest, and damn it, how could he look so yummy in the morning!
“You are making me uncomfortable,” he stated in a flat voice.
“I’m sorry but I just realized that you are topless,” I told him.
“Is this the first time you see a topless man, Krystal? I bet this is not the first time, so please stop acting.”
One way or another, his statement was offensive, but still, I tried to remain calm. “I am not acting, sir,” I reasoned out.
“Really, Miss Krystal Miranda?”
When he called my name, I was too stunned to speak. My hands were shaking at the thought of being discovered. “You know me?” I asked him seriously.
“Of course! Alice gave me your full name when she sent me the bank details,” he replied nonchalantly, and for a moment, I was able to breath. “So, going back to my request, I need a personal assistant that can assist me anytime.”
“Are you saying that she should live with you?”
“Yes, if necessary, but of course, there will be rest days. I am thinking of hiring you for the job. You seemed to be efficient if you were able to manage this place by your own,” he stated.
I wanted to tell him that I may have a managerial experience but the resort shouldn’t be considered. “That would be difficult on my part,” I told him.
“Why? There’s no other guest except for me,” he reminded me that he booked the entire place for a long vacation.
“Deal?”
“No,” I refused. “I will just refund the money and go to another resort and if necessary, you can go to the mansion where you belong. I don’t need a guest like you, Jordan!”
“Bravo! So, Logan was right all along. You are a feisty one. Did you tell him about the one night stand you had in the hotel?”
I stood frozen when I heard his question. Did I really sleep with my husband’s twin? Where the hell was Logan right now? I needed him!
“I can tell that you haven’t mentioned it to him yet. Why? Are you scared?”
“Shut up!” I snapped at Jordan and stood up to leave.
"Krystal, take a seat,” he ordered.
I clenched my teeth as I considered whether to obey his command or to remain standing, and I chose the latter. "All we need is our mouth to speak, Jordan, and I don't have to sit," I defied his command.
"All right," he said, turning away from me. “Then, I will call my brother right now and tell him about our secret,” he threatened me.
“Then what do you want?”
“Take me to my room, and watch me sleep. I usually have nightmares when I am alone,” he answered.
“What? Are you serious?”
“Serious as fuck! Led me to the master’s bedroom. I am tired,” he demanded.
“The master’s bedroom in this resort is not available, Jordan. It is reserved for me and my husband,” I told him.
“Then, should I call him? I just wanted to take a nap right now!”
When he was about to have some tantrums, I groaned in frustration that Logan’s brother was such a brat! Wait, was Jordan the sole reason why he disliked brats?
I wondered why he did that, and I assumed it was just to be comfortable. I stood there waiting until I heard him snore. Did he just fell asleep? Jordan was incredible and knew exactly how to irritate me! He would perish in an instant if the glare in my eyes could kill. How could he ignore my presence?
“Jordan Lopez!” I yelled, and when he continued pretending to sleep. I grabbed the blanket that was covering him, and I was shocked and turned around. "You don't have anything on!" I covered my eyes with my hands and asked him to cover himself, or perhaps confronting him now is a bad idea. "This conversation can wait," I said as I rushed out of his room.
I rushed back towards my bedroom and went straight to the bed. However, the scene that my eyes had witnessed earlier kept me awake. It kept flashing back into my mind, and no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't get it out of my head. I forced myself to sleep, sighing loudly.
However, I almost forgot in setting up my alarm clock. So, I got up and adjusted the time before turning to the other side to stare the blank wall instead. Since I didn’t want to run into Jordan in the morning after witnessing that shit earlier, I had to be prepared.
The next morning, I hummed to my favorite song while preparing his breakfast. It was just a simple meal with sunny side up eggs, tropical fruits, sautéed corned beef and toasted bread. His coffee was also ready! Since everything was already prepared, I decided to go out for some fresh air. His schedule including meeting some expats in the next town, and he already told me he would go there alone. Perfect!
"Didn't I say you should stay inside all the time?"
Jordan’s angry tone startled me, and I was embarrassed! “I’m done cooking,” I told him.
“Right and by this time, we should have our breakfast!”
“What’s wrong with you?” I asked him.
Actually, since the day he clarified that he didn’t know me personally, or we didn’t encounter each other in the past, I decided to act as is in front of him. I was supposed to become submissive to my boss but at the end of the day, I couldn’t do that!
During breakfast, he surprised me again when he told me I should go with to the gathering with some of his expat friends. I refused but he insisted. However, when he scowled at me, I immediately changed my mind. For goodness sake, he was just a guest, but because I couldn’t waste the golden opportunity, I adjusted my attitude.
He suggested to dress casually so I chose one of my mini-dresses. It has been a long time since I went out with a guy and despite being work-related, I decided to look classy and sophisticated. He gave me an hour to prepare then we would be leaving. Those were his exact words so after doing the dishes, I went to my room, and changed my clothes.
Upon seeing me, his expressions darkened and I wondered why. I furrowed my brows in confusion because the man has been acting weird lately. During the first few days of his stay in Bellcana, he was just fine, and then he has changed dramatically.
“What are you wearing?” Jordan was repulsed and asked.
“What’s wrong with my outfit? It’s comfortable,” I told him, defending the black mini dress I was wearing for my OOTD.
"It's short and exposes your collarbone!” He exclaimed angrily.
My nostrils flared, but I bit my tongue and shook my head, amazed that he could be so nosy for a man. Of course, because it's an off-the-shoulder mini dress, the collarbone will be visible!
"Is there an ankle-length mini dress?" I didn’t mean to be rude but he came too overbearing lately. He hired me as his personal assistant, maid, servant, or whatever the title was, but that’s it! Telling me how to dress and what to wear was never included in the contract!
“Never mind. The meeting was cancelled,” he said.
“What? Are you serious?” I asked because I was already dolled up for the activity. I even wore a make-up just to enhance my appearance, and then he would suddenly say it was cancelled. Whoa, I couldn’t believe it.
“Then, am I allowed to leave you alone? If the meeting is cancelled, meaning to say, you will just stay here, right?”
