Leap OF Fate

Chapter 46

It’s rush hour. Most employees from the Central Business District get off work around this time thus, the

influx of vehicles on the street. They barely left Rain International when they joined the queue of

vehicles trying to get out of the CBD.

Justin tapped his fingers, holding the steering wheel in rhythm to the music. Serene closed her eyes

and rested her head on the window.

“What were the two of you talking about?” she heard him say after a while. Serene inwardly rolled her

eyes at his question. She thought that he’s finally over his jealousy, but she’s wrong.

“I was getting the same errors when we tried to post data even after I made the corrections. So I asked

Rich if he can show me your ERP. He was showing me where the posted data should go,” she

explained, trying so hard not to sound irritated or amused.

“Hmm,” he said as he weighed her words. “Then why was he so close to you? He practically hugged

you.”

The corner of Serene’s mouth twitched slightly from his question. She felt an imminent headache

forming. “Is he freaking serious? Almost hugging? Rich was very much aware of her personal space as

he moved quite a distance from her,” she thought inwardly.

“Rich was very professional. He made sure that he did not infringe on my personal space. Perhaps it

just looked that way from where you were standing earlier,” she tried to pick her words well.

Looking at him, his expression was unreadable as he fixed his eyes on the traffic ahead of them. She

was not sure if he heard what she said at all.

Serene leaned closer and wrapped his biceps with her arms, rubbing her face against the fabric of his

shirt. She looked like the nickname he gave her, a kitty cat.

“Honey…” she called him softly and looked up to him through her eyelashes.

Her display of affection took him by surprise. Although she openly expressed her feelings through her

actions, she seldom called him affectionately. She would always call her by his name. This was the first

time she called him something endearing. His muscles stiffened when he heard the endearment, his

lips curving involuntarily to a smile. This kitty cat knows her tricks, he thought.

“Say it again,” although it was a command, his voice sounded tender. Serene knew at that moment that

she had won the round.

“Honey” she smiled up at him.

Justin looked at the line of vehicles in front of him. It’s unlikely that they’d move forward anytime soon.

He faced her and lifted her chin with his forefinger. His mouth immediately claimed her pouty lips. He

originally planned to just give her a quick peck, but she flicked her tongue on his lips. Her initiative

goaded him. Now both were wrapping their tongues with each other.

Serene’s hands have found their way to his hair, removing the clasp that neatly secured them. She ran

her fingers through his hair while her tongue wrestled with his.

The loud honking of the cars behind them jolted Justin. He reluctantly untangled himself from her and

moved his car forward.

They weaved out of the CBD traffic in almost an hour. After freeing themselves from the traffic jam,

their car smoothly travelled the road to Magnolia Crescent.

“Let’s drop by the supermarket. We need to buy some ingredients,” she looked at him as he focused on

his driving. He looked calmer now.

“En,” he answered with a nod.

They parked the car by the supermarket’s entrance. Since this supermarket was just a block away from

Magnolia Crescent, they did their grocery shopping here.

She got off the car first and grabbed a trolley by the entrance. He followed shortly after and took the

trolley from her. One hand pushed the cart while his other held hers.

Serene could not help her giggles. Since they got in, the man beside her made several heads turn.

Some would just throw secret glances, others ogled, and the brave few coquettishly smiled at him. All

of them ignored as he walked with her, oblivious of their presence. From NôvelDrama.Org.

Hearing her cute giggles, Justin looked at her with one raised brow. Serene caught his expression and

calmed herself before explaining.

“You’ve got a lot of admirers, Mr. Rain,” she beamed at him. His brow climbed up some more.

“Look around you, there are a lot of girls looking at you.” She smiled at him, then locked his arm with

hers. “But I’m sorry for them because this gorgeous man is all mine!”

She could be glib tongued sometimes. He chuckled at her, but his heart swelled from her possessive

declaration.

Serene weaved through each isle checking of items they needed while Justin quietly followed her

pushing the cart along.

“What do you want for dinner?” Serene asked as she looked at the assortment of sanitary pads before

her.

“Meat,” he said, unaffected by his surroundings. His eyes fixed on her as she browsed through an

assortment of products before her.

“Meat? Like barbecue or steak?” she looked at him after dumping 2 packs of sanitary pads in their pile.

“Yeah”.

“Isn’t that too heavy for dinner? Don’t you want to have a salad or something lighter?”

“Nope. I want meat.”

“Alright, meat it is then!”

They strolled to the meat section and got the steak he wanted.

After paying, Justin pushed the cart out of the store and to their parked car. She got in the car while

Justin loaded their purchase in the trunk. After which, they quietly drove to his villa.

Soon as they arrived, he proceeded to his study for a conference call while she changed to house

clothes and attended to dinner.

While the steak was marinating the refrigerator, she sliced the vegetables for roasting. She was

sprinkling olive oil over the vegetable when Justin’s arms wrapped around her waist. He sniffed and

nibbled her neck, making her ticklish.

“Are you done with your meeting?” she said, struggling a little from kisses. With a little difficulty, she

tried to season the vegetables. She then felt his warm palm on her stomach, feeling its way up to her

breasts.

She gasped when he gently squeezed one of her breasts. “Justin…” she said, a little out of breath from

all the ticklish sensations his fondling has done.

“Hmmn…” he breathed from her neck, before giving it a gentle bite.

“Let me finish cooking ok, so we can have dinner soon,” her breathing getting heavier and heavier

when his thumbs twiddled her nipples.

“I want it now.” He carried her up to the master’s bedroom with no effort where he successfully enjoyed

his meat dinner, while she ended up being the dinner.
