Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman novel Chapter 36

Jean was so shy that she covered her eyes with her hands and said, "No, I am not!"

"Well, are you flirting with me? This is the sixth time." He smiled charmingly.

Jean covered her eyes with one hand and covered her mouth with the other. She did not dare to speak again. She feared she would say something that would encourage Zed some more. Instead she focused on controlling her heartbeat.

As for seducing, it seemed that he was seducing her!

Jean found it difficult to control her thoughts. Every time she tried, she remembered seeing Zed's passionate eyes when she first woke that morning. Then, she thought of Zed's morning kiss and the feel of his skin against her hands when they fell on the bed.

The more she thought about it, the faster her heart beat.

Plop, plop, plop! It seemed as though her heart was ready to jump out of her chest.

After a few seconds of silence, Jean peeked at Zed through her fingers. Noticing that Zed wasn't in front of her, Jean relaxed and uncovered her eyes. But when she sat up, she found that Zed was changing into his trousers beside the bed.

"Oh, I'm so sorry! I'll give you some privacy." Jean hurriedly spoke before covering her eyes and rushing out of the bedroom.

Once in front of the refrigerator, Jean grabbed a bottle of ice water, unscrewed the cap, and took a huge gulp to help herself calm down.

"Don't drink too much cold water."

Zed said as he removed the bottle from Jean's hands and threw it into the trash can.

"There is hot water in the water dispenser. Warm water helps avoid cramps during menstrual periods."

Jean shifted her gaze to the floor and nodded innocently. She looked like a child who had been admonished for doing something wrong.

Zed reached out and gently played with Jean's hair. "I have to go to the company now. If you get bored, you can go shopping and use my credit card. But... don't visit the stores related to my company."

Hearing that, Jean lowered her head even further. She was so embarrassed that Jean wished she would disappear.

"I am afraid people will gossip about you. It's not good for your reputation." He explained.

After Zed left, Jean gradually settled. Her embarrassment reduced and she stopped flushing. As time passed, she felt depressed. Zed had given her his credit card and allowed her to decide the usage of that land. Since he kept treating her so nicely did that mean that he wasn't going to divorce her?

Jean's mobile phone vibrated.

When Jean looked at the screen, she saw that Eva was calling her. It reminded Jean that staying married to Zed was just a beautiful dream as she had promised Eva that she would help them to reconcile.

"Hello." Jean said meekly. Considering the events of the morning and her thoughts from before the phone call, Jean was flooded with guilt.

"Jean, how have you been recently?" Eva asked tentatively.

"I'm all right." Jean answered.

"What about Zed? Do you know what he is busy with? I have sent him a lot of messages and even called him many times over the past two days. But he just ignored me. He…"

"Hey, Eva, calm down. You're trying too hard. Men don't like clingy women at all."

"Then what should I do? I don't think waiting is a good option. What if another woman tries seducing Zed before I have the opportunity to speak with him? I, I…" Eva's expression distorted. Jean was the only woman Eva was worried about. Since Jean and Zed stayed in the same house, it was highly likely that Zed would fall in love with Jean.

"Don't think too much about that. No one except you could fall in love with Zed. He's as cool and indifferent as an icehouse! How about I help you create an opportunity? A coincidental meeting between you and Zed will give you the chance to charm him." As Jean comforted Eva, she felt a hint of sorrow and grief in her heart.
