Chapter 29 A Shameless Seductress

The whole world knew that the engagement between the Xander and the Lingard families had been

called off.

Hence, Lorelei was curious to find out about the good-looking guy who braved the rain to pick Michaela

up after work. Upon hearing how she addressed him courteously, Lorelei bowed and introduced herself

in a serious tone, “Hi, Mr. Jonathan. I’m Lorelei Summerfield, Mich’s colleague.”

She seemed like a well-mannered and composed girl, but she was in fact, fretting deep down like one

who had ants in her pants.

This is my first time meeting Mich’s elder, who is so young and handsome. If it weren’t for Alois, I bet I’d

have fallen head over heels for him.

“Hmm,” he briefly acknowledged without any emotions.

His eyes remained fixated on Michaela’s delicate face. “Let’s go,” he urged softly.

An elder? What on earth is she trying to do? Who wants to be her elder?

“I’ll take my leave now, Lorelei. See you tomorrow!”

Michaela could sense the air growing thicker. She was also puzzled when she noticed a slight change in

Jonathan’s expression. Did I say something wrong? Why is he even angry? What a bad temper! There’s

no wonder rumor has it that he doesn’t get along well with the opposite sex. With an attitude like this,

which girl will ever be willing to stay by his side?

After bidding Lorelei goodbye, Michaela quickened her steps and trailed behind like a mouse. She was

afraid to step on his toes again. His mood swings are so unpredictable!

When they were about to exit the building, he stopped abruptly. Michaela was not able to stop in time

and bumped into him.

“Ouch!”

She felt a sharp pang on her forehead and let out a groan. Before she could rub it, someone else’s hand

was already doing the action.

Surprised, she looked up and was met by Jonathan’s worried gaze. His palm on her forehead was so

warm.

A red spot became pronounced on Michaela’s fair skin. Frowning, Jonathan questioned, “Why are you so

careless?”

Feeling aggrieved, she complained, “I was trying to catch up with you.”

Unexpectedly, Jonathan did not get upset. Conversely, he was listening to her attentively. Then, he

replied with a smile, “There’s no need for you to play catch up. I’m always here, Mich.”

“Huh?”

She looked up and was captivated by his bright, alluring eyes.

One could easily fall into that mesmerizing abyss.

Her face flushed as they locked eyes with each other. Subconsciously, she took a step back, but he

pulled her back into his embrace. “Let’s go now and not stand here in the cold weather.”

She could feel the warmth exuding from his body despite being separated from the fabrics of his suit.

Additionally, there was a fresh scent lingering around him. Michaela’s heart raced rapidly, and she could

not resist burying her head deeper into his arms.

Upon catching a glimpse of Jonathan stepping out of the premises, Walter quickly got out of the car with

an umbrella.

When Michaela was finally seated, she realized that Jonathan’s suit was all wet. He’s probably worried

that I’d be drenched in the rain. Therefore, he sacrificed himself just to make sure that I was fully covered

under the umbrella.

Feeling rather bad about it, she took out a tissue and handed it over to him. “Hurry up and wipe yourself

dry. Don’t catch a cold.”

Hearing that, Walter immediately hid away the towel that he was about to pass to Jonathan.

Subsequently, he held his breath and tried to make his presence go unnoticed.

What Mr. Xander needs right now is Ms. Lingard’s care and concern, not this towel.

He took a peek at the backseat via the rear mirror, and he almost burst into a series of loud cheers when

he saw the corners of Jonathan’s lips curled upward.

At that moment, nothing seemed more satisfying than making the right move for the sake of his boss’

happiness.

Shortly after, he heard Jonathan tease her shamelessly, “Mich, you care for me, don’t you?”

Walter nearly choked on his saliva. Oh my, why is Mr. Xander acting like a drama king?

A conflicting expression flashed across Michaela’s face. A while later, she exclaimed, “Well, Mr.

Jonathan, you are my elder. It’s only natural that I show concern toward a senior.”

Though he cringed at her word choice, a warm and fuzzy feeling still rose within him. Whatever it is, the

bottom line is that she cares about me.

Feeling delighted, Jonathan accepted the tissue. However, he did not use it. Instead, he kept it in the

pocket closest to his heart.

I must treasure this like a collectible. It’s the first time this girl proactively does something nice to me.

His action did not go unnoticed. While Michaela was still staring at him, Jonathan turned and saw her

scrutinizing him.

Instantly, a pinky blush spread through her face to her ears, and her heart pounded furiously.

In the next second, she quickly averted her gaze and faced the window.

She’s actually shy? How cute!

About half an hour later, the car pulled over. The weather was rather chilly since it was still drizzling.

It was Michaela’s first day reporting to work. Hence, she picked a body-hugging pastel power suit paired

with high heels to look prim and proper.

Previously, she would often dress casually like a university student. Donning in a set of formal working

attire made her look more mature and femininely attractive. However, the thin outfit was certainly not

good for a rainy day.

Suddenly, she felt warmth on her shoulders as a familiar scent drifted into her nose. Someone had

wrapped a long black trench coat around her.

As far as she could recall, Zack had never showed her any affection during the few years they were

engaged. She felt so uncomfortable having a man’s coat around her body. “Mr. Jonathan, this…”

“Wear it, for it’s cold outside. You can return it to me next time.”

What? Is there next time? Can I choose not to wear it?

Before she could reject, he grabbed hold of her shoulder while taking the black umbrella from Walter, and

strode into the restaurant. “It’s a small umbrella, so don’t fidget,” reminded Jonathan.

Not knowing what to do, Michaela side-eyed Walter who had left them for the car. She tried to pursue

further, “Is that gentleman not going to join us for dinner?”

She was dying to find another person to join them, so that she could be spared from the awkwardness of

eating alone with him. Who would have known that her question fetched a sharp glare from Jonathan!

“Did you just call him a gentleman?” A tinge of grimace laced his tone.

The next moment, he snapped without waiting for her answer, “He doesn’t need to eat!”

Unbeknownst to Michaela, he was not going to let Walter off so easily just because she asked an

innocent question.

That night, the poor Walter starved for the entire night as a punishment by his boss. He had nothing but

only water to drink.
