My Sexy Wife novel Chapter 5

“Why? Is it painful? Just bear with it for a moment and you’ll be fine.” Hannah was startled by Johnny’s yell and comforted him.

“No, it’s alright, go ahead with it.” Johnny ground his teeth and endured.

“It’s done. Just remember that this arm should not come in contact with water for the next few days. You should change the dressing and reapply betadine on it daily. You will be fine in a few days.” Hannah reminded Johnny after bandaging his arm.

“Have you eaten? Hannah, get him a bowl of rice and a pair of chopsticks.” Jasmine said.

“Why? Do you feel guilty? Are you trying to relieve my hatred for you with these little favors? No way! As the saying goes, a warrior would not eat with the enemy and shouldn’t accept any pity from strangers. Let me tell you, I won’t eat anything that comes from your home!” Johnny said stoutly.

“Hannah, have your meal and return to your room to rest. I have something to discuss with him.” Jasmine said to her maid as she ignored Johnny.

“Yes, Missus,” Hannah answered and returned to her room.

“You really don’t want to eat?” The lady turned to look at Johnny.

“No, I won’t take pity from you. I’m here for some justice today. How can I continue to vent my anger if I were to eat at your table?” Johnny persisted but his temper had already waned since he barged in.

“Up to you, if you won’t eat, I’ll have Hannah throw them away.” The lady calmly said.

“Don’t, how wasteful is that. What a sin it is to waste.” Johnny said and started to eat. He was really hungry and started to salivate when he saw the table of dishes. He only had breakfast in the morning and was busy the entire day. He didn’t even have the time to eat lunch. He only ate two buns and drank a bottle of water for the entire day. He was famished.

“I just want to ask you. Why did you have to get me fired? Why should you be so mean? What good is it for you that I’m fired? Although I was not so polite to you back then, that doesn’t mean that you needed to get me dismissed. There wasn’t any grudge between us at all.” Johnny grumbled as he ate.

“Was this job so important to you?” The lady had already finished eating. She sat opposite Johnny and calmly asked him.

“Isn't this nonsense? Whose job isn’t important? There is no salary without a job. How will I eat without money? Do you think that everyone is like you with luxury cars and a house? You have enough money to spend all your life without even working!”

“Are you short of money?” The lady asked.

“Can you stop asking stupid questions? Who on earth wouldn’t want more money?”

“How much do you earn a month?”

“Why do you want to know?” Johnny became cautious as he looked at Jasmine.

“Why? Are you worried that I have intentions on what little money that you have?”

“Five thousand plus. I may touch six thousand when I’m busy. You shouldn’t be impressed with this amount!”

“Are you married?”

“No, single.”

“How old are you?”

“Are you conducting a census?” Johnny almost lost his temper.

“Why? Are you so secretive about your age?”

“I’m a man, twenty-eight this year. Do you have to ask so much just because I used some of your ointments and ate your food?” Johnny said with annoyance.

“How about this? It was wrong of me to cause you to lose your job and I apologize. I happen to be looking for someone to work for me. You may start tomorrow. What do you think?” The lady asked.

“Work for you?”

“Yes!” The lady nodded.

“Not on your wildest dreams. Why would I want to work for a woman like you? Anyone who works for you would die early from your antics. I can’t afford to work for a person like you.”
