Chapter 596 - Overdone

"She's an impossible woman, Miss J. Don't ever think about it." Stefan butted in making J snap her head at him whos is standing behind her.

"That's not going to happen." J was glaring at Felix and Stefan who seemed to be on the same page lecturing her when she heard Daniel who is standing beside Stefan speaks.

Then it was followed by Arthur. "Not on my watch."

J sighed in defeat. Her shoulders slumped forward. She thought that she is in control of her men but it turns out that they were now in control of her.

"Don't give them that look, Honey. It is their job to protect you and keep you away from any harm and danger. And the mere presence of that Senator is already considered dangerous." Jacob glanced at her who seemed unfazed that his men are bullying his wife.

J rolled her eyes. At that moment, the door of the elevator opened on the 10th floor of the hospital. But instead of going directly to his office, Jacob accompanied her back to the 8th floor. Arthur's Team did the same.

'God, they are overdoing it!' J sighed internally.

"I think I'll be safe from here." J turned around and looked at the five overprotective men. They were already in the lobby of the Department of Surgery. She could see Nurse Maggie's eye ogling at them as she passed by the lobby.

"Okay. Since Diana is not here, I'll be eating lunch with you at the cafeteria." Thou J didn't mind eating alone she didn't reject Jacob's suggestion. But she hasn't seen him eat at the hospital's cafeteria.

"Are you sure?" She asked.

"Of course. Now don't be stubborn. Get inside." Jacob replied.

"Okay."

After J enters the Department of Surgery, Jacob's expression turns dark. "Keep a watch on her. I have a feeling that she is planning something."

Jacob knows that J has a great sense of responsibility as a person and as the heiress of the Society. She heaps all responsibility to those people under her and even those that protect her for herself. And because of that, she has the tendency to takes all the blame and liability if something happens to them.

That is why, as much as possible she tries to maintain a secure and stable environment from them by putting herself at risk instead not knowing that she is being unintentionally insensitive to the other people's feelings.

She could be as stubborn as she can be when it comes to putting herself in danger just to keep her people away from it even if the main purpose of these people is to keep her away from danger.

Sometimes, she is an idealistic person. She could be naive, impractical and out of touch in reality. She thought that everything can be solved in a peaceful way. If she could avoid a bloodbath, she will.

Jacob knows that she is thinking that way when she fell silent inside the elevator. He knows how she cares about her people and putting their lives at risk is the least that she would wish to happen. So, she might think of a way to talk to the Senator and end this dispute in a peaceful way.

Just like when she tried to talk with Alex Ogden the last time. And he is not going to let that happen again.

....

At the cafeteria of the hospital, J saw Jacob in a far distance away from the crowd. Since it is lunchtime, almost half of the employees of the hospital were there to have lunch. And Jacob was smart to choose a more isolated table for the two of them since he knew how J likes to be alone.

And the spot he chose is J's favorite spot in the cafeteria.

She walked towards him and noticed that he already got them food. She also noticed some employees watching them because it is very rare to see her eating with anyone else except Diana. And this time, she is having lunch with the President of the hospital.

Although everyone already knows that they are husband and wife, it was still surprising to see them in the cafeteria together. It was actually the first time.

"I asked the cook to prepare something for you," Jacob said as he pulled a chair for her.

J looked at the table and her nose instantly turned at the sight of foods on the table. "Isn't it too much? You don't have to ask them to prepare something. I am good at anything."

Jacob frowned slightly, "Hmm... you don't like it? I though seafood is your favorite but they don't have seafood in the menu today so I ask them to prepare that especially for you."

"Well, thank you but... I am not really into seafood today." She said feeling guilty that Jacob made an effort for this lunch and she turns him down.
