Chapter 24 This Is My House
The next day at noon, Daniel just stepped out of the shower when the door to his room was flung open. Both he and the intruder screamed in unison. Daniel quickly wrapped himself in the blanket, covering every inch of himself like a mummy.
Jessica, cheeks burning red with embarrassment, pointed at him and accused, “You… you pervert!”
“I’m the pervert? I’m bathing in my own room, and
you burst in! If anyone’s a pervert here, it’s you!”
“You….. I…..”
Jessica was at a loss for words but quickly
collected herself.
“This is my house, my room. I’ll come in if I want to. You’re the pervert – apologize and promise not to do
it again!”
Daniel: …
“Are you going to apologize?”
Seeing no way out and considering The Sealed
Dragon Grass, Daniel let out a sigh.
“Sorry, Honey. I won’t do it again. Next time, I’ll even wear my down jacket in the shower!”
“That’s your last warning; don’t call me honey!” Jessica glared at Daniel and continued grumpily, What were you doing last night? The security guard said you came back late!”
“Just out for a stroll.”
“Where do you go strolling at night?”
“The bar! So many beautiful ladies there!”
Daniel made up an excuse, not about to reveal that
Heather had summoned him last night to treat Ryan,
which led to a night full of brawling. He had taken
down many contenders and somehow ended up as
the chairman of the Delvin Hub Martial Club United.
He also heard about the upcoming World Martial
Club United Congress and one of The Seven Dragon Grasses he was seeking, The Grass of Awakened
Dragon.
Thinking of The Grass of Awakened Dragon brought a mysterious smile to Daniel’s face.
Seeing Daniel’s expression after mentioning the bar made Jessica even more upset as if her man had betrayed her.
“What did you go to the bar for?” she asked.
“Pick up girls!” Daniel said, deliberately provoking
her.
“All men are the same no good! Jerks! Get dressed
quickly; I’ll wait for you outside.”
After Daniel got ready, Jessica was already lounging
on the living room sofa, nonchalantly eating Daniel’s
freshly toasted bread.
“Making yourself at home, I see?”
“What, you have a problem with me eating a piece of
your bread? Cheapskate!”
A satisfied Jessica pushed the remaining bread at
Daniel.
“Here, take it back!”
“It’s all gone.”
“What about the crust?”
Dániel: …
“What? Not hungry? If not, be my driver from today
“Where to?”
“We’re picking up Brittany. Poor thing’s been living in
that nightmare with the rats and roaches for two
days. I’m sure she’s learned her lesson. So, when we
get there, be a gentleman and suggest she move
out, in front of her.”
“Why should I?”
“Because I’m telling you to. I value Brittany’s
abilities; she’s worked with me for years. No conflict
between you two – you must get along with her! Do I make myself clear?”
Daniel nodded, resigned to his new role as Jessica’s driver, confidant, and, now it seemed, peacekeeper.
