Theresa Mo didn't so much as spare him a glance. She accepted the handkerchief from Julia Li and wiped her face dry.
Jun Xie Li looked at her and saw her puffy red eyes. Had she been crying over the issue of the kids he sized from her?
But that is not an excuse to be unnecessarily close to his brother. "This will not be tolerated again, especially you Theresa Mo. You should never forget that you are the mother of my kids and behave like a proper woman " Jun Xie cautioned, fixing his eyes only on her.
Theresa Mo was like a wounded lion. She hadn't fully recovered from what he did to her and yet tells her how she should live her life.
"Do I need to tell you how or with whom I chose to be intimate? If I decide to go extreme with Julia, what business of yours is that?" Theresa snapped at him.
What the heck? Is he going to restrain her or prevent her from living her life however she wants?
"I want to have the plan at once," Jun Xie Li declared, taking his seat behind the desk and simply ignoring her and her irrational utterance.
"I am not done. I hope to finish off in a few hours. But you can check out the draft and see how satisfactory it's going to be" Theresa replied.
She had comported herself and was talking as if it wasn't her and Jun Xie who had a cross, a few minutes ago.
She placed the draft in front of him and was pointing some places for him to see.
As she was a little close to Jun Xie Li, she perceived his body scent, it's the Gardenia. That's all she could remember from that night.
Julia also walked over and she explained a few things to them both. She hadn't completed the plan yet but already showed them a sketch of what they should be expecting from her.
"I hope to see the plan soon Ms......... Theresa, then I can fully assimilate and approve of your capability" Jun Xie Li declared.
She smelled of milk and honey, and he liked her smell. She straightened herself and said he would be impressed when she finished outlining the plan.
With that, she was going to excuse herself to return to her office. "Theresa, I will be taking you out for lunch" Julia informed her.
Theresa smiled. She wants to make Jun Xie Li feel uncomfortable and replies by saying she will be waiting.
Jun Xie Li turned a black face. He was already puffed up for jealousy but allowed Theresa to go out and shut the door.
"Don't cross my path, Julia. There should be a limit to your relationship with Theresa. She is my woman and I want you to respect that fact"Jun Xie Li warned.
Julia Li smiled. If Theresa wasn't his brother's woman, he would have made some advances towards her. But he didn't when he realized who she was.
" Then you will have to treat her like one. If you do nothing to win her heart, I can't promise you that I won't take her away.."Julia teased.
He was deliberately provoking his brother. He definitely can't go with a woman who belongs to his brother. But he is worried that his brother was turning himself into a eunuch.
He stood up and was leaving Jun Xie Li's office feeling proud. He had annoyed him with his last words and needed to go out of his sight.
"I dare you, Julia!" Jun Xie Li threatened. He doesn't have a problem with Julia over his numerous women and sexual escapades, but if he crosses his limits and gets entangled with the mother of his children, he would teach him a hard lesson.
During lunch hour, Julia went to Theresa's office and invited her. She quickly tidied up her desk and took the elevator to join him in his car.
Jun Xie Li stood from his towering office and saw Julia in his car and Theresa going in to join him. They soon zoomed off and he felt a kind of uneasiness within him.
He should be the one with Theresa and not Julia. He doesn't want the mother of his kids to develop any feelings for his brother.
If she does, it will be difficult to separate them. She can't be with Julia. Only he is going to have her and none else.
Has Theresa Mo been involved with any other man after that incident four years ago? Does she have a boyfriend that he might not have realized?
He would ask her that question when she brings the design plan to him. He must see that she coughs out the truth to him.
They arrived at a popular restaurant. The people working there recognized Julia as soon as they stepped in.
But they saw that this time, he came with a different woman they've never seen him with. They ushered him to the private room where he's always reserved for himself, whenever he stops by.
A waiter came and took their orders. Theresa had Oodles of Noodles and Julia had covered rice.
They ate their lunch and soon were ready to leave. Theresa excused herself to go to the restroom and when she returned, Julia said they could leave.
In his car, Julia glanced at the quietly sitting Theresa and asked "Have you been thinking about your kids?" He saw her puffy eyes earlier and knew his brother taking those kids away from her hurts her.
"You have no idea Julia, how much I missed my boys" Theresa complained.
