King's Back novel Chapter 47

The next morning, after Jackson and Dolcie had had breakfast, Jackson drove Dolcie to work.

Dolcie sat in the back of the car, checking her tablet computer and scanning the morning news.

Suddenly, Dolcie saw something with a slightly surprised expression on his face. She looked up at Jackson and saw him whistling, shaking his head and humming a little song. Seeing him like this, Dolcie couldn’t helping curling up her lips.

However, when she found a lot of similar news, smile appeared on her cold face all the more.

At the underground garage, Jackson and Dolcie entered the elevator, and when the elevator arrived at the 25th floor and Jackson was about to go out, Dolcie said,

"Come to my office. I have something to tell you."

"Dolcie, I will get a pay deduction for being late. Could I clock in first?"

Dolcie looked stern. "Are you always getting late? Don't think I don't know about that. Your salary has already been deducted, follow me over here!"

Jackson glumly followed her, and upon arriving at the office, Dolcie handed the tablet to Jackson.

"Look at this."

Jackson grabbed the apple from the bowl, took a bite and looked at the tablet, which showed a photo of a man and a woman. Jackson chewed and said,

"Who is the boy? He looks a little familiar. I seem to have seen him somewhere."

"Isn't that you?" Dolcie snapped.

Jackson blinked. Shit, it was really he himself.

"No wonder I thought he was so handsome. It is really me."

Jackson laughed, only to find Dolcie looked sullen, so he awkwardly stopped laughing.

In addition to he himself, the other woman in the photo was Sara.

Yesterday, they met on the breakfast stand, and they fought with several thieves together.

"What do you think of this picture?" Dolcie crossed her arms, staring at him, as if waiting for his explanation.

It was fine to be a hero, but Sara caught him two days ago, and she got him out. Now he had been with Sara.

Look at this photo. They were so intimate.

But Dolcie didn’t say that. She wanted to hear Jackson’s explanation.

Jackson looked thoughtful, analyzed it from every angle, and said,

"The photo is not well-taken. The photographer must be very amateurish. The exposure is underexposed and the aperture is wrong. You should increase the exposure rate, and the effect of the shot is perfect."

Hearing Jackson's words, Dolcie wanted to scold him.

Was that what he was supposed to be focusing on? Did she call him here to make comments on how well this picture was taken?

Was he kidding?

For the first time Dolcie almost lost her temper.

"Jackson, don't you dare say that again!"

Dolcie pointed to Jackson's face and said, "You know what? You are going to get hot!"

"But I didn’t get heated," Jackson said, "I have normal bowel movements and my urine is light yellow. I didn’t get heated at all."

"Dolcie," he said innocently, spreading his hands out, "you know how I am such a gentle man. How could I get heated? Someone just put the picture online without my permission. I will forgive them."

Dolcie was left speechless as she realized that she made a mistake to bring Jackson to the office this morning.

She won't have a good mood this day.

"Jackson, do you know you are a jerk?"

Jackson thought about this very carefully. When someone said he was a jerk, he might not admit it, as for someone else, he was definitely a good man, but for his own wife, he should be a jerk when he had to.

After all, women loved bad men.

In fact, this was a real misunderstanding.

At this point, Sara received a text message from an unfamiliar number.

"This is Jackson. Have you seen the twitter craze yet?"

Stunned for a moment, Sara replied, "Why do you have my phone number?"

"Did you forget that on that day, the woman insisted on leaving our telephone numbers, and I remember yours when I took a look at it."

Sara sent him an emoji with a hammer knocking on the head.

Jackson gave her an emoji of tearful smile in return.

Dolcie was having a hard time. She wanted to praise Jackson, but Jackson didn't even know what she's talking about. He just sat on the couch and smiled at the phone.

"Jackson, get out of here!" Dolcie pointed in the direction of the doorway.

Jackson realized that Dolcie was angry. He thought they were just having a casual conversation, but Dolcie was at loggerheads.

Did he make a mistake by being a righteous man?

"Dolcie, don't be mad. I'll be out of here."

Seeing that his wife was getting angry, Jackson immediately left.

"He must be a stupid man! He doesn’t even know what did I mean! He must do it on purpose!"

But on second thought, Dolcie wondered why she got so excited? He and Sara just caught the thief together. What was the big deal?

Did it because of the comments that asking them to be together?

Was she...jealous?

No, definitely not!

It was ridiculous. How can he be jealous because of him!

Dolcie immediately got the wild ideas out of her mind, then she turned on her computer and got down to work.
