Chapter 171 - Missed Him

"I think something is wrong with her," Arthur replied with a furrowed brow. She has been watching J for more than two weeks now and he already understood her mood. And today, he knew that something happened to put her in a bad mood. And it probably has something to do with Jacob. Obviously, the whole day she was avoiding Jacob. First, she didn't go up to the tenth floor to use the private lift because she knew that Jacob will be waiting for her, instead, she went directly to the basement parking using the stairs.

Second, she didn't go home immediately instead she went to the Naupaka Racing Circuit to pass her time and ignored all of Jacob's call. In return, Jacob has been calling him to check out on her.

Then now, instead of going home, she is here in a kickboxing ring tiring herself.

"Speaking of something wrong. What's wrong with you back in the shopping plaza? Did you know that dancer?" Stefan asked.

Arthur's expression turned cold and replied, "No."

After an hour, they are back in the road again but before they headed home, they stopped by a fast-food chain and ate something for dinner. It was already eleven in the evening when they reached Evergreen Villa and Jacob is not home yet.

"I'm sorry to bother you the whole day. You can take your rest now." J said to Arthur and Stefan before she went inside the villa.

Jacob arrived past midnight and J was already asleep. He sits beside the bed near J. He found out from Diana that she was mad at him the whole day. He found out from Arthur that she spends the rest of her day in the racing circuit, shopping plaza, and boxing studio. She was probably diverting her anger. She looked tired out.

He really wanted to come to her and explain but he got stuck in the board meeting. And she was deliberately avoiding and ignoring her calls and messages.

Jacob lies down beside her, he kissed her first in her temple before he pulled her closed to him and hug her. J unconsciously turned towards him and squeezed herself into Jacob's body. With her eyes half-closed, she saw Jacob's perfect face. Thou she is mad at him, she is too tired and sleepy to argue, and besides, she missed him. So, she closed her eyes again and fell into a deep sleep.

The next morning J woke up earlier than the usual. Even earlier than Jacob. She is still trying to avoid him. She takes a shower shorter than the usual, she didn't even dry up her hair and didn't eat breakfast.

Surprisingly, when she came out of the bedroom, Arthur and Stefan were ready even before she wakes up. Actually, Arthur already anticipated that if their Boss and Lady Boss will not be able to talk last night, then his Lady Boss would probably leave earlier to avoid his Boss. And he was right.

When she arrived in the Department of Surgery the first person, she saw is Dr. Stella Ivanov. She stopped for a second before she continued walking towards the nurse' station where Dr. Ivanov is sitting. She heard her greet her "Good morning."

She replied with "Good morning" without looking at her. She changed into her white scrub suit then she put her pen and phone inside her front pocket. She reached for her headset and placed it to her ear. She swiped her phone searching for a song to play to lighten up her mode. She chose Peter Pan by Kelsea Ballerini.
