Chapter 116Â
Jessica had just stepped out of the washroom when someone in white pulled her into a cubicle.Â
She was pinned against the cold wall, the back of her head cupped by a warm hand, saving her from hitting her head against the wall.Â
The tipsy Jessica let out a kittenish gasp, causing the man before her to stiffen upÂ
involuntarily. She pressed her hands against his warm chest.Â
They were so close to one another that she could catch a whiff of the faint tobacco and sandalwood scent clinging to him. She instantly recognized this scent, and from the corner ofÂ
her eye, she caught a glimpse of his charming profile..Â
“Zachary, what are you doing…”Â
That tender and delicate tone of hers sounded like both flirtation and reproach.Â
“Did I fail to satisfy you?” Zachary asked.Â
“What are you blabbering about?”Â
“Which feels better–the male escort’s abs or mine?”Â
“Did that make you jealous?” Jessica asked, tilting her head.Â
The scent of peaches wafted upward from her lips, dispersing over Zachary’s bare chest, which was revealed by two buttons he had left undone.Â
It felt ticklish and warm.Â
“I was worried that you’d give me a bad name.”Â
“You’re overthinking it. It was unintentional.”Â
Upon hearing Jessica’s explanation, Zachary did not probe further. The air in this narrow, confined space became thick and heavy.Â
“Kiss me,” Zachary suddenly said.Â
Jessica was rendered speechless.Â
He cupped her chin with the web of his hand, forcing her to lift her head.Â
“Kiss me, and I’ll believe you,” he said.Â
“You’re drunk, Zachary.”Â

He had initially said that he would never force her into doing anything. Even when they were at home, he would always get her consent first. Though, he resorted to sweet–talk and trickery every time.Â
But here…Â
He had her arms around her slender waist, squeezing her teasingly.Â
“No one will find out.”Â
He leaned forward, resting his forehead against her shoulder, breathing heavily down herÂ
neck.Â
“No, don’t…” Jessica pushed him as hard as she could, releasing a restrained moan.Â
He found her lips and kissed her.Â
Heat spread across her entire body, and she started to go weak. Nevertheless, her rationality stopped her from making another embarrassing moan.Â
When they caught their breath, she seized this opportunity to bite down hard on his shoulder.Â
Zachary was at a loss for words. He released her immediately and pressed one hand over her forehead, pushing her head back.Â
Two rows of crimson teeth imprints appeared on his white shirt immediately. She had bittenÂ
him till he bled.Â
He furrowed his brow, his eyes dim and slightly red.Â
“Sorry…” Jessica muttered.Â
She was a little fearful, worried that Zachary would get mad. When he was angered at work, people normally ended up hurt or crippled.Â
Even though he was normally a gentleman when she spent time with him at home, she could see the emotions in his eyes. Sometimes, she had to read the room, too.Â
Zachary did not say a word.Â
Jessica scrambled to straighten the skirt around her waist. After smoothing her outfit, she walked out cautiously.Â
Zachary glanced at his shoulder and let out a scoff.Â
“Damn, who did you make out with?”Â

Elsa grabbed Jessica and hurriedly wiped the lipstick smear on the corner of her lips.Â
“Oh?”Â
Jessica jumped in fright. She quickly turned her back against everyone, allowing Elsa to help with sorting her out.Â
“I saw Zachary earlier. Was he the one?” Elsa asked.Â
“Yeah.”Â
Elsa stifled a laugh. “He’s such a real man.”Â
“What? Why are you complimenting him?”Â
“Shouldn’t I? He saw you touching the male escort, didn’t he?”Â
“Woah. How is it that you seem to know everything?”Â
