The Born Winner (Jack and Katherine) novel Chapter 64

Under the blanket of the sunset.

The afterglow of the sunset covered Jack and Amber as they moved closer to each other. This entire scene was like a picture and at this moment, an untimely voice blurted out.

“I… should I excuse myself?” The picture perfect moment was immediately shattered.

Amber’s body shivered and leaped up like a startled deer. She quickly walked over to the swing with her head drooped down and blushed in red. She sat down totally embarrassed and didn’t dare to look in the direction of the voice.

This… was so awkward.

Jack frowned angrily and looked at Brent who was standing at the staircase. They walked all over the villa and didn’t see him. Why did he appear at this moment?

“What do you think?”

Brent scratched his head awkwardly and then said softly, “Then you continue, I’ll take my leave.”

He then turned to leave.

“Come back here!” Jack called out to Brent. It took him so much effort to cultivate the moment which was dashed by what he said. What could be achieved now even if he excused himself?

Even if he wanted to continue, Amber would not agree to it.

Jack asked Brent angrily, “Where were you just now?”

Brent’s face was slightly red and felt guilty. He didn’t think that he would interrupt Master Hughes’ intimate moment. Had he known that something was about to happen, he would have never come up to the terrace. He would have waited for at least half an hour.

But now that Jack had called out to him, he replied, “We were short of one massage chair and I went to buy it just now.” He remembered Jack’s instructions that when there were others present, he was not to address him as Master and his tone must be as he was talking to a friend.

“Massage chair!” Jack narrowed his eyes and tightly ground his teeth. A massage chair ruined his moment!

He scoffed, “I saw a few bricks on the garden, since you have nothing to do, go and tidy the garden.”

“There aren’t any bricks.” Brent shook his head doubtfully. The garden was meticulously designed and done by the designer. How could bricks be laying around the garden?

Jack rolled his eyes, “I said there are!”

Brent, “…”

After Brent left, the atmosphere at the terrace became tensed. The air was thick with awkwardness. The sunset was just nice and the scenery was beautiful. Everything was perfect and waiting for them. Who would expect Brent to show up!

Jack rubbed his temples as he felt his head throb. He looked towards Amber and it was obvious that she was feeling incredibly awkward.

At that moment, Amber was sitting on the swing and drooped her head shyly. She looked at the distant sunset and swayed slightly on the swing while fidgeting with her toes.

“Eh hum…” Jack tried to break the silence, “Do you… want to continue?”

It was like Amber was struck by lightning and trembled. She swiftly turned and glared at Jack, “You scoundrel!” After she said, she stood up and ran downstairs.

Jack laughed helplessly, Brent, damn you!

Because of the embarrassing situation, Amber ran downstairs and didn’t feel comfortable staying around and drove off in her Porsche 911.

Jack was at a loss.

Brent awkwardly apologized, “Master Hughes, I really didn’t do it on purpose.”

“We should have dinner before leaving,” Jack said helplessly but he didn’t blame Brent. He took it as he and Amber hadn’t reached that extent of their relationship.
