After she had had enough, she glanced at the two bodyguards, only to see the two towering figures stationed like iron towers on either side of the bed foot, eyes fixed on her.
"Um..." Jessica raised her hand to adjust her hair, "Can I go to the bathroom?"
The bodyguard gestured for her to proceed, and Jessica stood up and walked towards the bathroom, with the two men following close behind.
"Hey, I am a woman, okay?"
One of the bodyguards spoke without expression, "We must follow Mr. Will’s orders."
Jessica cursed abruptly, kicked the door, then turned back into the guest room, glanced around, walked straight to the bed without taking off her shoes, jumped on it, and pulled the blanket over her head.
After preparing dinner for Huangfu Jue, Gan Yuan, and his family, arranging various corresponding tasks, and handling the bodyguards’ schedule with Helen...
By the time Will finished everything and returned to the guest room, it was already late into the night.
In the bed, Jessica was sound asleep, her eyes closed; undisturbed, dinner sat on the table next to her.
"She fell asleep, so she didn’t eat," explained the bodyguard.
Will nodded, "You two can also rest. Resume the shift at six."
The two bodyguards agreed, stepping out the door. Will glanced at Jessica on the bed, approached her, unlocked one of the handcuffs from her wrist, locked it to the bed’s headboard, and then turned to enter the bathroom.
After a hot shower and changing into comfortable pajamas, he came out, took a blanket from the closet to the sofa, opened his laptop, and checked if everything for the next day’s schedule and the various preparations were completely ready.
Suddenly sitting up from her slumber, Jessica threw back the blanket, got out of bed, and attempted to leave—but before she could take a step, the handcuff yanked her back, and she fell beside the bed.
When Will shifted his gaze to her, he saw her holding her sore forehead, looking around in confusion.
Seeing Will sitting by the sofa and then the handcuff that tethered her to the bed, Jessica finally snapped out of her grogginess, realizing where she was.
She shook the handcuffs on her wrist irritably and yelled, "Open this for me!"
Will withdrew his gaze and continued to read his documents.
Jessica raised her voice,"Are you deaf? Open it!"
Will continued to peruse the documents, completely ignoring her shouting.
Jessica lifted a pillow and threw it forcefully, which only flew over Will after hitting him.
She reached for another one to throw, but Will simply caught the pillow and leaned against it, deliberately shifting his position to show a face of enjoyment.
The little bastard, did he want to anger her to death?
Scanning the surroundings, Jessica finally grabbed the desk lamp.
"If you dare to throw that lamp at me, I’ll lock you up there all night to use the bathroom."
The lamp Jessica had lifted halfway was lowered back down, placed back in its original spot.
"Um..." She tried to make her tone sound gentle, "Colonel Will, I really need to go badly!"
Under someone else’s roof, one has to bow one’s head; she could not realistically relive herself here.
The man lifted his face from the documents and gave her a smile.
She held up her right hand as if taking an oath, "Really, I’m not lying to you!"
Will curved his lips into a smile, which looked so warm and inviting that Jedinka thought for a moment he finally had a pang of conscience, and she relaxed slightly.
But who would have thought...
