Lorenzo had been resisting the urge to call Jessica these days. He wanted to know how Jessica was but he didn't have the courage to contact her. He dared not listen to her description of the injury. In order to resist the impulse, he increased the workload desperately, which caused complaints from his men.
Instead of restraining himself, he must check to see how she was today.
He flicked her skirt aside to reveal her smooth skin. Lorenzo looked at her shoulders closely and found that the scars had healed completely, with her skin as white as snow.
"All right, just put me down and stop it." Blushing, Jessica pulled his big hand off and put on her skirt quickly.
"You’re sure you’re okay now?" Lorenzo said with guilty, looking at Jessica's face.
"Well, it really doesn't matter. It's not a big deal. I’ve daubed the ointment and most of the wounds have healed. There’s just slight pain at the hollow of my neck." Jessica knew that Lorenzo was still worried so she led his hand to touch the her lower neck.
Lorenzo knew it was the place where he had bitten hard. Although it had healed, the scars were still there. It could be imagined how crazy he was on that night.
"Jessica, I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry..." Lorenzo lowered his head, attached his face to Jessica's scar and kissed her devotedly with his thin lips. His heart was broken. What did he do to his little girl? He was such a jerk.
An apology was not enough to express Lorenzo's remorse. But he didn’t know what to say.
"Well, Mr. Fletcher, don’t do that again." Jessica looked at Lorenzo and smiled.
"I swear it won't happen again. If I..." Lorenzo smirked, with the corners of his mouth turning up and then he griped Jessica's earlobe gently.
“Well... Come on, Mr. Fletcher. What kind of abstinence male god you are." As if she was electrocuted, Jessica flared back, raised her hand in anger and then smashed Lorenzo in the chest.
"Do you like it?" Lorenzo chuckled and looked down from Jessica's face. Jessica had never been treated like that before. She was so shy. Her slender white legs were still folded at his waist. Lorenzo held her tightly so that she could be attached to him.
"Hum! You went too far that night. Weren't you bad?" Jessica looked up at Lorenzo defiantly.
"You probably haven't really seen how bad I can be. My office is soundproof and it's big enough. Oh, it has a gym, too. Do you want to see how bad I can be?"
The elevator stopped and Lorenzo walked out with her in his arms.
Jessica was speechless. She was not able to win the paronomasia so she cleared her throat and continued to speak.
"Mr. Fletcher, you... you like pretty young girls so much that I fear you will rise to the bait when I get old and other little girls flirt with you."
Lorenzo looked very mature, arrogant and reserved while what he liked were cute comely ladies. Well, he was too powerful to find a woman as powerful as he was. Men at his position could afford to be picky.
Right now she's Lorenzo's cup of tea but she couldn’t stay young and beautiful for the rest of her life.
"What are you worried about? Surely there are some young girls flirting with me but I’m not interested at all. It's not the age that I like. It's my wife who happens to be at this age. That's all." Lorenzo gazed at her fondly.
That was so sweet that Jessica couldn’t help being happy. Her Mr. Fletcher’s sweet words were as overbearing as him.

In the CEO office
This was the first time Jessica came to the Fletcher Group and followed Lorenzo into the CEO office. It’s such a treasure place. Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, Jessica had a bird's eye view of the whole city.
The CEO office was on the top floor of the Fletcher Group, towering above the clouds and overlooking everything around.
Jessica was enjoying the beautiful scenery when her mobile phone rang and it’s her twitter.
