“Wait for me, Alfred.”
The romantic spark faded as Nova heard the name. Jacob notice the minor changes in her face, he tightened his grip on her waist with a hint of disappointment in his eyes.
Alfred didn't expect to meet them, either, especially not to see them flirting. He put on a smile.
“What a coincidence.”
“Who are you talking to, Alfred.”
A girl ran in the elevator. Her face changed when she saw Nova and Jacob. In a light tone, she murmured.
“Brother Jacob.”
The way she called Jacob provoked Nova. She turned around to give Jacob a cold look along with a snort and stamped on his feet.
The pain took away Jacob’s breath for a second. He’s puzzled, where did this sudden blaze stem from?
Brother Jacob, that’s so sweet. No wonder he’s always trying to make her call him like that. Nova thought. She wrenched his hands off her and said aloof.
“Excuse me, I have to leave.”
But in Jacob’s eyes, her leaving was a sign of not getting over her ex. The thought of that infuriated him. In a fit of rage, he dashed out of the elevator.
“He scared me, what makes my sister likes him so much.” The girl said after the door closed
Isn’t the sixth floor the obstetrics and gynecology department? What they doing together here. Alfred thought as he fixed on the LED displayer. He then felt suffocated by his own assumption.
“Stop! Nova.”
Jacob caught up with her at the parking lot. Grabbing her by the wrist, he looked at her coldly.
Nova tried to shake his hand off her but failed. She screamed angrily.
“Stop playing around with me.”
But Jacob was even more pissed off than she was. Gnashing his teeth, he said to her creepily.
“Play? Is that what you think I’m doing? I put my whole heart into you! If I had known this better, I would’ve just thrown you on bed and fucked you until you couldn’t stop screaming ‘don’t leave me’ “
“You asshole!”
Nova was so mad that her face turned red. She resisted him in a vain attempt. Jacob thrust her into the backseat of her car, the then lied on top of her.
“I’ll show you what a real asshole is like.”
He bit on her lips as he said. The face she had when she saw Alfred filled Jacob with jealousy. Alfred and she were in a relationship for seven years. Deep in her heart, she only cared about Alfred and he was no more than an asshole to her. Such thoughts got Jacob so bent out of shape.
“You are a jerk!”she yelled, “Brother Jacob? How many girls have you said that to?”
Suddenly, Jacob stopped. He was silent for seconds, then he laughed. He lowered his head to her and whispered.
“Nova, You are jealous.”
He sounded affirmative and delighted.
Nova’s heartbeat stopped for a second, seemed to be a little scared. She pushed Jacob away. She said with a frown.
“Don’t be so narcissistic.”
