Jewel was a little frantic as she peeked at the driver in front of them, who just happened to be looking at them through the rearview mirror. Does he think we’re a cheating couple?!
That thought made her feel even more uneasy, and she gently pushed Alex, hoping he would stop. However, the force of the push was equivalent to her playing hard to get, and it stimulated his desire to conquer her even more. He grabbed her fists and raised them over her head so that it was easier for him to kiss her. He had missed her dearly before seeing her, and now that he did, his feelings had gotten out of control.
“W-Wait-” Jewel took the time when he was gasping to scream. Her lips were slightly parted while panting, and her eyes uneasily glanced toward the front. It was then that Alex realized his girlfriend was shy, so he shot the driver a stern gaze and ordered, ‘Focus on driving.”
Perhaps the driver could sense Alex wasn’t someone easy to deal with. He quickly withdrew his gaze and focused on driving.
However, Alex did not continue the kiss but pulled Jewel into a hug and pecked her forehead. He then exclaimed as though he hadn’t seen her for a long time, “I missed you so much!”
Jewel closed her eyes and listened to his heart beating rapidly, excitedly, and strongly! She suddenly felt very relaxed, and her hands slowly wrapped around his waist, saying, “I miss you too.”
Meanwhile, Alex looked at her in shock and thought he might be hearing things. Compared to his intense feelings and eagerness when it came to relationships, she was more of a slow and steady type, which would often cause him to feel insecure. He would think she was taking pity on him or that maybe she got with him because he had saved her life. Anyway, he felt she did not like him as much as he did, but what did she just say? Did she say she missed him too?
While cupping her face, Alex asked in disbelief, “Jewel, say it again. You missed me, too, right?”
Jewel frowned, slightly disliking how silly he was acting. Would she have let him kiss her in the car if she hadn’t missed him? Then, she arrogantly turned her head to the side, ignoring him.
At that moment, the cab stopped, and Jewel paid the fare before descending the car without waiting for him. Alex did not mind that and quickly chased after her. He pulled her hand and complained, “Why didn’t you wait for me?”
Jewel smiled, and the two entered the private room to order their food.
Dinner wasn’t the main thing they came here for. Alex just wanted to spend some time alone with her to relive how much he missed her.
As there was a couch in the room for customers to rest on, Alex pulled Jewel onto it after dinner. He played with her fingers, asking, “When are you planning to return home?”
Jewel replied, “Eugene might be returning home these few days, and I’ll head back after he comes back. I don’t feel safe leaving Olivia and the children here either.”
“Then I’ll stay with you.”
“You don’t have to do that. I can manage on my own.”
Alex gave her a hurt look. “Don’t you want me to stay?” His gaze seemed funny to Jewel because it made her feel like he was complaining that she did not miss him. She laughed and argued, “I’m afraid you’d be busy.”
Alex arrogantly snorted. “What’s there to be busy about?” Pouting, Jewel asked, “Is that something a company president should say?”
Alex said, “What’s wrong with that? Can’t a company president miss his girlfriend and want to leave work for her?”
While he spoke, he tightened his grip around her, acting like he was ready to give away everything just to be with her.
That made Jewel speechless, but she also found it hilarious. “Fine, then don’t work. I’ll earn money to provide for you.”
Alex chuckled after hearing that. “Sure. I’ll be your little boy toy.” Lifting his chin, Jewel observed it left and right before commenting, “You’re too old to be called a boy.”
Alex replied, “I’ll visit a beauty parlor and make myself look younger. Dear mistress, do you have any other requests?”
Jewel could not contain her laughter any longer. “That’s all for now.”
Then, Alex continued to ask, “Do you need any other services? Kissing, hugging, and everything physical is free of charge.”
