Chapter 8
*******
Sharon gulped suddenly feeling nervous. She wondered what Jasper is planning to do. He removed a stray strand of hair blocking her view and then moved his lips to brush against hers slightly.
Sharon was momentarily stunned as she felt the warm and light sensation on her lips. She got lost in thoughts as she licked her lips and chew it. Jasper sudden laughter brought her out of her reverie.
“You should see your face right now. It’s completely pale from just a tiny little peck. I thought you were screaming just now that you don’t want to kiss me but your reaction right now is saying the opposite,” he taunts her.
Sharon glared at him frowning before she cleaned her lips. ” I don’t care about that stupid peck. So now let me go,” she mumbled grumpily.
” I’m not holding you,” he smiled cheekily. Sharon looked down and saw that he’s really not holding her anymore. This jerk! He dares play her like this. She’ll get back at him for doing this.
She stood up and dished out only her own food refusing to give him food. As she ate at the dinning, Jasper looked at her food and wanted to ask for his but seeing the angry look on her face, he quickly kept quiet.Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
As his stomach grumbled, he sighed and pat it gently. ” Maybe we should try acting nice sometimes, Jas,” he said softly.
Sharon was looking at him. She smirked at the sad expression on his face. Next time he’ll think twice before behaving rudely to any other lady.
But she isn’t mean so she gave him food only after she had finished with hers. Even so, he didn’t say thank you.

Jasper was watching a documentary on the TV when Sharon walked in. She was cooing at Tia who babbled cutely. As soon as she sat down, she took the remote.
“Jeez! You are such a boring person. How can you watch a documentary as boring as this and you don’t fall asleep?” she said changing the channel.
Jasper grumbled in protest but she changed it. She simply ignored him. Few minutes later, they are both shouting at each other.
Jasper is shouting because he doesn’t know if Sharon’s voice is supposed to be louder than the TV or the other way around. Every second, she shouts when an exciting scene is going on in the group.
While Sharon is arguing cause he won’t let her enjoy the movie just complaining every minute.
“Must you shout everytime? You are so noisy,” he retorted. Sharon rolled her eyes.
” Why don’t you let me watch the movie in peace. I’m sure you are doing this because I changed the channel,” she answered.
” I don’t really care cause I can just watch it on my phone,” he said.
” Then keep quiet and let me watch the movie in peace. Can’t you see that the handsome male lead is about to kiss the female lead?,” she replied.
“Love… Kiss… S*x… That’s what you all ladies know,” he said.
Sharon stood up and put Tia on the chair. Then she stalked towards him. Jasper gulped and steered his wheelchair backwards.
” What are you doing?,” he asked nervously moving backwards as she came forward. Sharon smiled in a funny way that made his heart skip a beat.
No, don’t assume things. It’s not the one that your heart skips a beat cause you saw or you are with someone you love or like. This one is purely from anxiousness and shall I say fear.
It’s funny. The one headlines describes as a cold and arrogant billionaire actually looks terrified of a lady in his very own sitting room. If the paparazzi were to capture this sight, then his reputation is gone for good.
Sharon walked towards him like she’s possessed and Jasper’s wheelchair finally hits the wall with nowhere else to go. Don’t you think this is silly? Most times, this always happens when a guy is about to kiss a lady and she moves backward before finally getting trapped with nowhere else to turn to.
But in this case, it’s a grown man in wheelchair that’s trapped against the wall and a pschyo looking lady stalking after him.
She finally got to where he is and is about to do what she has always dreamed of doing many times since she saw him. No… No… It’s not to kiss him. It’s to hit his head and reset his brain.
She picked up a vase and raised it up about to hit him when the door suddenly opened.
“Brother I’m home!!!,” Lena shouted as she walked into the sitting room. She stopped in her tracks when she saw what is going on in the sitting room?
She looked at the vase in Sharon’s hand and Jasper obviously frightened expression.
“What’s going on here?,” she asked arching her eyebrows in surprise.

“What!!! How!!! When!!! Who!!!,” Mrs Winston shrieked hearing what her daughter just said. How could this girl try to disgrace her like this after how she has always prioritize her over Sharon.
“Mom don’t worry, the father of the baby has agreed to take responsibility,” Sheila answered making her mom’s expression relax a little.
” Who is he?,” her father asked coolly. ” Dad it’s Aiden,” she dropped the bombshell. Her mother opened her mouth slightly agape, even her father looked at her incredulously.
“Which Aiden are you talking about?,” he asked still feeling skeptical of his daughter’s word.
” Dad, it’s the same Aiden we all know. It’s Aiden Kings,” Benedict spoke for the first time since they came in.
“So you also know about it and you kept quiet. Have you forgotten Sharon is engaged to be married to Aiden? How could you do this Penny?,” Mr Winston asked looking slightly annoyed
” Dad that sh*tty wedding is never going to happen. And I didn’t steal Aiden from her, he was always mine,” she answered and her father sat on the sofa looking a little bit exhausted.
“Sheila can you even hear yourself? Even if I don’t have any issues with this, how will I explain to people?,” he asked
Everyone in the room looked at themselves.

Jimmy walked into the house and was surprised to meet Tia crying. Lena is carrying her and trying to pacify her but she wouldn’t stop.
Jasper passed the baby bottle to her and she tried to feed the baby but it seems like she just made her wails worse.
” How did Tia suddenly become adpated to her? I only left for one night,” Lena complained walking around, pacifying the baby.
” I guess babies find her lovable,” Jasper said sighing at the sight of Tia crying profusely.
Jimmy looked around searching for someone but he couldn’t find her so he asked,” Hello aunt… Hi Dad, where’s fatty?”
“She has left for…,” Jasper couldn’t even finish his statement as he watched Jimmy dance happily. He looked at him. He seems very happy to hear her leave.
” But she’ll be back soon,” he burst Jimmy’s bubble. The cute boy stopped dancing immediately and turned to look at his father.
“Why? Why is she coming back? I don’t want that fatty,” he cried out.
” Shut up Jimmy, don’t be rude. Can’t you see that Tia needs her. She has been crying ever since Sharon left,” Lena said trying to feed the baby her bottle but she refused.
Jimmy sighed, carried his bag and turned to walk away. But Jasper called him and whispered something into his ears. Then he burst into laughter.
Lena looked at the two of them suspiciously. Jimmy covered his lips since his father said it’s a secret. He walked to his room quickly.
“What did you tell him, brother?,” she asked curiously.
” Ain’t gonna talk,” Jasper replied turning away.
What he actually said was that “ONCE SHE”S HERE, WE”LL PRANK HER AND TROUBLE HER TOGETHER.”

As the chauffeur got to Sharon’s house, she got down and thanked him. He bowed smiling and went to look for a suitable place to park since he has been instructed to wait for her.
Sharon took in a deep breath as she looked at the small apartment in front of her. She still can’t believe she will be leaving this place. But it’s for the best. Now that she’s jobless, she knows it would have take much time to get another one.
Cause with Benedict’s current influence, she may never even get another job. But that arrogant man, Jasper has offered her a job with a pay she can not resist.
She smiled as she thought of what of had happened back there.
Flashback***
She was not really gonna hit the vase on that rude Mr grumpy. She only wanted to scare him and it had worked perfectly.
She was greatly pleased to see the scared expression he desperately tried to hide. That was until Lena walked in and saw the position they are in.
She had quickly returned the vase and tried to explain.
“What’s going on here?,” Lena asked arching her eyebrows in surprise.
“Nothing… It’s not what you think,” Sharon said quickly so that Lena won’t misunderstand the situation.
Jasper looked at her incredulously. ” What do you mean it’s not what she thinks!!!? Lena it is what you thought. It is… She just tried to hit the vase on my head.”
