A Deal With The Billionaire

EPISODE NINETY SEVEN

THEME: Jessica is back!

CONNECTICUT, UNITED STATE OF AMERICA

CRAWFORD CORPORATION

Jessica stepped out of the taxi, feeling a bit nostalgic as she stared at the long building referred to as Crawford corporation. She began walking towards the entrance with a different new level of confidence. The message she had gotten from Christopher’s sister was a blessing in disguise and a once in a lifetime opportunity which she wouldn’t let slip out of her hand never.

Christopher was going to do her bidding and there was no one who would stop her. Whatever had happened to her plans in Idaho stays put there. She had a strong belief, she was going achieve her aim right here and Christopher would be with her again.

Jessica had come up with a good convincing story, knowing how emotional Christopher was and he would definitely fall for it in no time. Going up the elevator, Jessica walked out of it when she got to the floor of his office.

“Hello, good morning.” She said to the secretary.

The secretary looked up and was surprised to see her. “Miss Jessica! Is this you? So good to see you again! I mean… it has been so long.”

“Yeah. So good to see you too again. How has it been with you?”

“Very find. Thank you. The boss is in his office, I am sure he would have been expecting you.” She ushered her towards the office.Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

Jessica smiled at the secretary’s oblivion, Christopher was going to have the shock of his life when he sees her.

‘But I really want you to try that stuff out. Why are you being so closed up? Come on, you are wearing it for me.’ Christopher whined into the phone.

He had sent Raven a sexy lingerie gift at home. His intention was to rile her up and he was having fun getting her reaction. He didn’t want to laugh out yet and tell her he was only joking.

After a long night filled with steamy sex, Raven had woken up with cold and couldn’t go to work. To keep her from being bored, he decided to play naughty with her as he worked. Just as he was about to respond to the sassy response Raven gave, his mouth opened in midair at the person who opened his office door.

‘You know-‘

‘Let me call you back.’ He whispered into the phone before hanging up.

Right in his face stood Jessica smiling at him, like they had just had breakfast together.

“Jessica? What the hell are you doing here?” He bellowed in anger.

Jessica had prepared herself for the outburst and instantly she made a sorrowful face. “Would you at least give me a moment to explain myself?” She asked.

Christopher stared at her for a moment and it shifted till too long. Jessica glowed a bit more from the last time he remembered. She was looking extra beautiful. Even after such a fairly long time she still had an effect on him. To not seem rude, he nodded towards the seat in front of him for her to seat. He couldn’t contain himself sitting in front of her like they were on good terms so he stood up and began pacing back and forth.

“Can you be quick with whatever it is that brought you here. I have things to do.” Christopher informed her with an unfriendly stare, before turning his back to her.

“Chris…” Jessica began with a quiet voice as she looked up at him teary eyed. “You know I have always loved you. But I was just so convinced that marriage wasn’t going to let me achieve all of my dreams. Then we went apart and I have been shadow of myself for months.” She watched his posture, his shoulders had relaxed a bit. To avoid missing the chance to ride on his emotional state, Jessica stood up and went to him. “Day and night, I didn’t stop thinking about you.” She hugged him from behind.

“I thought I could carry on without you in my life but all that was a fallacy. For those miserable months I wanted to get back with you so bad. I was scared to take such leap, though of how much you must detest me for letting you go.”

Christopher disentangled himself from her hold as he turned to her and his face hardened. “The news said otherwise though and it didn’t seem like you were having any bad time.”

“I had to do my job, baby!” She cooed. In a swift movement, her hands reached out to caress his chest.

“Don’t touch me Jessica. Don’t! I am married.” He informed her.

Jessica chuckled lightly. “But why do I have a feeling that you only got married out of your anger for me. I can see it in your eyes Chris, you still want me.” She insisted, still caressing him.

Christopher held his breath as the familiar tingle rushed up his entire body. He didn’t realize how much he missed her touch, until he was feeling every of it on himself at the moment. He tried to talk to himself, trying to imagine what Benjamin would think and how disappointed he would be if he found out he was melting under Jessica’s touch again.

Rebuking himself and the small voice insisting on kissing her hands. He moved away from her.

“Don’t you think it’s too late now? I am a married man and I am doing fine with my wife.” He almost slapped himself for saying that and not admitting to love his wife.

Jessica was really doing a good job at making him feel disoriented. Stopping in her tracks, Jessica stared into his eyes. “Do you really not want to have anything doing with me again? Fine, tell it to me right this minute that you do not ever want to see my face again. Then, I promise to never show myself in front of you ever again.” Although her voice and threat was weak but she hoped fervently that Christopher’s resolve was weak too and he wouldn’t have her thrown out of the building.

Christopher stayed silent for a moment as he observed the woman who had always been the love of his life. If he had to be sincere, he missed her so much till it hurts. Raven had been a perfect distraction and he didn’t feel the need to think about Jessica anymore. In actual truth, he had forgotten all about her. Until this moment when the memories came rushing back on sighting her.

Christopher loves Raven and he knew it from the depth of his heart. However, he still hadn’t gotten over Jessica. He thought he had; the saying that you never get over your first love was beginning to seem like it for him too.

Seeing her body glisten in the middle of the day of sun that shined into the office, he wanted to rake his hands through it.

‘Stop it, Chris!’ He muttered to himself, as he kept pacing the office. Jessica could be manipulative he knew, still he had been wanting to hear her talk about how much she missed him and how she couldn’t do without him. He wanted to hear her admit to the exact way he was feeling. Now, that she was doing so, he had no idea what he was suppose to do.

All in an instant, Jessica was in front of him. It threw him back in shock because he had been too engrossed in his thought to notice the movement. Jessica pushed him to the edge of the table.

“It’s obvious you still feel the same about me. And I do to baby.” Jessica whispered as she made an attempt to kiss him. When he didn’t push her away she started out by kissing his lips lightly.

“Please forgive me, Christopher.” Just as she attempted to kiss him again, Christopher lost all restraints and he pulled her to himself roughly and began to kiss her like his whole life depended on it.
