Two Years Later

"I need an iced coffee!"

"Jessy, table two needs two iced coffees and an Americano"

"Two lattes and an Americano for table four"

Jessica's head was filled with different orders. She wondered why her second hadn't signed in yet.

She was supposed to drop an application at a company that was recruiting workers in an hour. She had to leave early to arrive on time.

Jessica tried her best to satisfy every customer so she won't be scolded by her grumpy boss. That man would bring down the roof on her if any of the customers complained. He was too stingy to hire more workers even when he knew they required more hands.

Jessica had taken up several jobs so far and now she was working at a coffee shop just down the street. She prefers working there because there is no need for transportation. After all, it was just down the street. During lunch, she could simply skip over to the house to have her lunch.

All in a bid to save money. The twin's education had to be taken care of including rental and other miscellaneous bills.

After Jessica's father fainted a year ago, he had severe heart failure. It was so severe he had to undergo surgery. They had to sell most of their possessions to revive him through surgery. The bank collected their house and their company was shut down.

Her father's friends and relatives all deserted them, claiming her father was involved in drug trafficking. They said all sorts of bad words against him.

"You are a stain on our family name!"

"We can't be seen together with your family. You are a disgrace to the Graves"

"How could you think of doing such a thing? Now our family name's been dragged into the mud because of you!"

"Who would have thought that he was such a snake! A poisonous one at that! How could you sell such drugs? You are wiping out generations!"

" I can't believe I was friends with such a dangerous person! And he claims to be a doctor! Or is it a laboratory scientist? What a shame!"

The family of five had to move to a smaller apartment downtown where they were not known, for fear of mockery by their so-called friends and family.

Luckily for Jessica, she had paid her tuition for the final year. She just had to bear all criticism as she wrote her final year examination.

"I can't believe she came to write the exam"

"Her family is in a mess and her father is at the point of death yet she still came to write the exams"

"It's obvious she doesn't have a future yet she is trying desperately to cling to it"

"Serves her right! She always claims to be a fashionista. I wonder how horrible her dressing would turn out to be!"

Amidst all the mockery, she put on a brave front for the two weeks she had in college. After her exams, to fend for her family, she delved into any menial job that could fetch her money. They had been surviving on her little pay job.

With her results out, she had been searching for a job that could pay her better. She was still lost in her thoughts when her phone rang. It was an unfamiliar number.

"Hello…"

"Jessy! I finally got hold of you! Thank goodness! Where the hell have you hidden all these while? Even if you were hiding from everyone, will I also be included? I thought I was your friend!" An angry voice began scolding her as soon as she picked up.

Just by her voice, Jessy knew it was her bosom friend talking. Angela was her childhood friend but they had to part ways when their family relocated abroad. They lost contact when Jessy stopped using her old line as soon as they moved out of their house.

"Angie… I… I am so sorry… I just… " Jessy didn't know what to tell her friend.

"Jessy! We need two lattes and an Americano on tables four and five! Hurry up and drop that call!" Her boss's voice said, getting pissed.

Jessica was also pissed off too. Her time was over but that damn girl that was supposed to take over from her was nowhere to be found. And the annoying part was that her boss won't pay her for the additional time spent. If not that she didn't need the job, she would have quit a long time ago.

"Angie, I need to go but I will be available in four hours. I will call you as soon as I am free" Jessy said.

"Alright, Jessy. Don't forget to call me. I will be waiting" Angie said, reluctant to end the call.

"I won't, Angie!" Jessica said, cutting the call hurriedly so she could get the orders ready.

Finally, an hour later, her second came with an apology. But Jessica had no time to waste because she had to go and submit her application letter as soon as possible.

She heard they were recruiting workers for the Turner Group of Company. She wanted to try her luck if she could get the position of secretary.

Picking up her bag, she walked swiftly trying to leave the Cafe as soon as she could. Unfortunately, she bumped into a muscular chest.

"Ouch! I am so sorry, please!" Jessica said, without looking at the person. After apologizing, with her head still bowed she turned to leave.

"Where do you think you are going, bitch! Do you know who you just bumped into?" A female voice shrieked as she drew Jessica back, holding her hair.

It felt as though Jessica's head was about to be separated from her neck. The girl's grip was so strong!

"I already apologize, Miss. Please, I am sorry. I was in a hurry and I didn't look where I was going… ouch! You are hurting me!" Jessica said, whimpering in pain.

" Let her go, Jane," A sexy baritone voice said. The voice was so alluring that Jessica had the urge to see the person.

She raised her head gradually and their eyes met. The man had the most gorgeous hazel eyes ever. There was a playful smirk on his face and his sexy plump lips looked tempting.

Jessica could feel those hazel eyes roaming all over her body. She suddenly felt naked before his eyes.

"Pervert!" She cursed, softly.

Then she turned around and left not knowing she just triggered a wild beast in the man.

The man's hazel eyes followed the beauty till she was out of sight. Gosh, she was so beautiful and… arrogant. How dare she call him a pervert? His eyes flashed in anger but he quickly kept it in check.

She was lucky he was with another woman and he needed to clarify things with Janet or else he would have shown her the meaning of someone who is a pervert!

Edwin Turner barely tore his gaze away from the gorgeous figure. He walked briskly to the end of the cafe and sat down, brooding.

"Edwin, is something wrong? Did that girl say something to you? I will teach her a lesson if she dares" Janet said, drawing close to Edwin. Her boobs were almost touching his chest and it seemed she didn't hear what that feisty girl just said to him.

"Teach her a lesson? As what…My wife? My girlfriend? My lover? Because the last time I checked we were done" Edwin told her, smiling.

His face lit up the cafe with his smile and Janet couldn't help drooling all over him. She grabbed his hands and frantically held them tightly. They were barely two days into their relationship!

"What do you mean by that, Edwin? We just fucking had a good time in the office!" Janet said, her face turning pale from anger and embarrassment.

" And I fucking told you as I screwed you, Janet. It's over between us. I wanted to make it clearer for you over a cup of latte or Americano but I guess you got it already" Edwin whispered in her ears. He hated this part the most.

Why do they keep coming when they know they won't last? It's not like his affairs were a secret.

" You can't do this to me, Edwin! You told me you love me!" Janet said, trying to press down her voice.

" Did I? But then I love all my bitches until I get tired of them. Didn't you know before you came to me? Stop with your drama" Edwin told her, smiling. He had told every fucking girl he laid that he loves them! Why would she be special?

Grabbing his hands tightly, Janet's tears began to fall on her well-dolled-up face. Her chest was heaving up and down exposing a huge chunk of her boobs.

Unfortunately, Edwin has no time to check her out as he rises from the chair. His image was already filled with the celestial beauty he just bumped into. He wondered how such a feisty girl would feel underneath him, writhing in pleasure.

" Edwin! You are a bastard!" Janet screamed, attracting the attention of the people in the cafe. They all looked toward their table.

Although she knew Edwin was a casanova, she tried to put in her all so he could stay with her. It was all to no avail! If not for his wealth and beauty she wouldn't bother trying to have him all to herself.

Edwin Turner couldn't be bothered by her screams as he put on his sunglasses, strolling out of the cafe as if he wasn't the one being screamed at. As he stepped out of the cafe, the sun shone brightly on his gorgeous face which was like one of the Greek gods.

He was one of the wealthiest young men with his family being the number one family in the state. He was not just a rich brat. He was one of the most ruthless businessmen in the business world setting aside his flirty ways.

He was an eligible bachelor who flirted with any object with a feminine touch. Even though he was a tough businessman revered by all, he was also a chronic womanizer.

His office was like a chalet during his lunch break. The ladies kept swarming in even though he breaks their hearts every three days. The longest relationship Edwin had was a week long.

"Sir, are you going to the office or you are heading home?" The driver asked.

"Let's go to the office. I need to check the list of applicants. Left with Jacob, he will take an ugly duckling as my secretary" Edwin said, murmuring the last part to himself.

The driver nodded and drove towards the company.

Edwin Turner stepped out of the car and his eyes caught an interesting figure. He frowned seeing her in the company building. Did she come to apply too?

His lips curled up when he remembered her words to him earlier.

Maybe, he can finally show her how perverted he can be. But it seems she had seen him and was running away. Edwin watched as she ran away, his gaze dark and sensual.

"Run on, rabbit. You will soon be mine!" Edwin muttered. He was going to find out who she was and when he did, she would be begging to stay underneath him.

He was going to show her the true meaning of a pervert!

*******

Jessica Graves kept running at top speed so she could meet the deadline for applying. She managed to get there in time. Having nowhere to go, she decided to keep strolling.

Thirty minutes later, she got to a gigantic building. It was the Turner Group of Company. She saw an advert for recruiting workers but she didn't want to get her hopes up.

That was one of the largest companies in the states and she knew there was only a one percent chance of her being accepted.

"It would be a waste to apply here. I am sure they already have people that would take the job anyways " she murmured to herself.

But then Jessica's mind kept telling her to give it a try. She always carries up to four or five application CVs along with her at all times. Since she already has an application letter, she decided to give it a try. Although she didn't have much hope to be accepted, she still dropped it.

Making her way out, she was in awe at the beauty and magnificence of the building inside. How wonderful it would be to work in a place like this even as a messenger.

She was still walking around the building when she caught sight of that same man from the cafe a while ago. Seeing him again made her heart race and a feeling she had never experienced filled her heart.

Jessica hit her head hard to scold herself for having those weird thoughts. How could she have such feelings for a perverted person like that?

Turning around briskly, she tried to avoid the gorgeous man that was walking in her direction. Without a second thought, she ran away like a frightened rabbit without looking back.

What she didn't notice was the man's penetrating and lecherous gaze on her as if she was prey and he was the ultimate predator.

Waiting to devour her.

The sight of that man sets a warning alarm in Jessica's head. She needed to get away from him as soon as she could. Turning around, she ran in short strides. Barely three strides away, she felt a hit on her head.

"Ouch!" Jessica muffled her hurtful groan as she bumped into someone. The files in her hands were scattered all over. She looked up to see a well-dressed young lady holding her head.

Jessica immediately forgot about her pain and began to apologize, after all, she was the one that bumped into her.

"I am very sorry, ma. I didn't watch where I was going"

"It's not entirely your fault. I wasn't looking too as I was in a hurry. I am partly to blame, ``the young lady said, smiling. She looked down and saw her documents in the file scattered all over the floor.

Jessica also caught a glimpse of the documents and she immediately squatted down to arrange them. The girl also helped her arrange them.

"You have lots of application letters in your file. Sorry, but I couldn't help myself" She said, apologetically.

" It's alright. I was just job hunting. I tend to drop at any company offering a job space" Jessica replied, picking up the documents hastily. She doesn't want that man to see her again. She has had enough bad emotions today.

"I see you also have an application for the Turner Group. Why didn't you submit it?" The lady asked.

Jessica scratched her head. She can't possibly tell her it was because she was running from a hot pervert, right?

"I… I just don't feel confident enough to apply. I mean this is a very big company. Why would they want to hire someone like me who doesn't have any experience?"

"And how would you gain experience if you are never hired? Trust me, girl, you just have to keep trying. You might just be the lucky one" the girl said, patting her.

"Miss, I appreciate your kind words and encouragement but I… I don't have the courage to… "

" First, my name is Misha. Secondly, since you are afraid, just give me all your information and I will help you drop it. How about that?" Misha replied.

" You… you will do that for me? Why?" Jessica asked, shocked at the lady's offer.

" Nothing special. Let's just say, I was once in your shoes. And I also received help to get to where I am today" Misha replied.

Jessica was filled with different emotions. She didn't know if she should hug Misha or not.

" Thank you so much, Misha. I am truly grateful to you"

" Not so fast, Jessica Graves. Once you are in, you are going to give me a special treat once you earn your first pay" Misha said jokingly, looking at the name in the document.

" I don't mind at all! You are truly Godsend to me! "

" Alright, I have to go before I get fired for staying out so late. I don't want to be out when you get in" Misha said, smiling. She took a file containing the application for the Turner Group. Waving Jessica goodbye, she turned around and left.

Jessica couldn't believe her luck! She thought she had already lost the opportunity of submitting her application. She felt truly grateful to Misha. Even if she doesn't pass the interview, she would remain grateful to her.

It was getting late already and Jessica had to go to a night job for about four hours before finally going home. If she misses tonight's shift, she can kiss her payroll goodbye!

"That's not acceptable! I still have to pay for the electricity and two other bills tomorrow. I also have to take dad for his check-up too. So I can't afford to miss my paycheck!" Jessica muttered to herself.

She took out her phone and placed a call to her mother to tell her she would be home a little late so they wouldn't wait for her. What she didn't tell them was that she was going to be extremely late!

******

The blaring sound of music and the swaying hips of scantily dressed girls lingered in a clubhouse. There were different people dancing while others were just focused on drinking or harassing girls.

Upstairs, a group of expensively dressed men gathered around a table filled with drinks. There were several call girls attending to the men but their attention was mostly on an extremely dashing young man who seemed to be in deep thought.

"Hey, Ed! What are you thinking about? You are in a fucking club man! Who's gonna spank these bitches?" One of the young men said, looking drunk.

" Jay is right, dude. These bitches' eyes are glued on you! I bet they don't even see us, right bitch?" Another added, spanking one of the call girls.

"Have enough of them, Fred. I just want a fresh indifferent flower for a change. She looks so fierce and… surprisingly beautiful at the right places" Edwin said, an image of the girl flashing before his eyes.

" Damn! Did you get another chick? What about those busty boobs from your office? You dated not long ago" Fred exclaimed, pushing the girl who was trying to wrap herself in his arms.

" That's a closed chapter. You know I don't play for long" Edwin said, looking indifferent.

" Yeah. Keep bragging, man. But I tell you, someday you are gonna be hooked to a bitch that plays better than you!" Fred said, sipping his wine.

Fred always believed that there would be a girl who would steal Edwin's heart and in return, she would smash it just like he had been doing to all these girls.

"Enough of your motivational talks, Fred. Let's hear who the next toy is. Is she a movie star? A spoiled socialite? Or one of those bitches in your office?" Jay asked, pressing hard at the girl on his lap.

"None of the criteria. I bumped into her at a cafe where I decided to put a clean end to Janet. She was one hell of a feisty lady" Edwin said, his mind trailing to those eyes that bore through him. She has the most gorgeous pairs of eyes ever.

" So, it looks like you were not able to create contact with her. That's why you sound disturbed, right?" Fred asked, smiling.

Just as Edwin wanted to reply to y his friend, his eyes caught that familiar figure again but before he could look carefully, she was gone.

" Am I seeing her everywhere now?" He questioned himself. He stretched his hands to pour himself a drink as he signal a call girl to himself.

He needs to relieve himself from that girl's charm.
