Chapter 85 An Impulsive Kiss
"It's not Marcus! It has nothing to do with him! I insisted on coming in myself."
Jocelyn, who had always been kind to those around her, did not wish to implicate Marcus again in this affair.
Being glanced at coldly by Calvin, Jocelyn realized that she might have offended him by coming uninvited today. In order to ease his anger, Jocelyn muttered, "Stop being angry. I apologize to you, okay? I promise to call you in advance before coming here next time!"
Calvin snorted lightly and thought, "How dare she even want to come here again?"
Seeing that, Jocelyn complained in her heart, "I've already apologized. Why is he still angry?"
She was really depressed and said unhappily, "Hey! It's my birthday today. Can't you give in a bit to me?"
Calvin knew that today was Jocelyn's birthday. After all, early in the morning, Tammy had reminded him to hold a birthday party for Jocelyn, saying that Jocelyn would be very pitiful if no one celebrated it with her.
"If it weren't for the sake of Tammy, I wouldn't have bothered to pay any attention to her!" he thought.
Then he ordered directly, "You have ten minutes to clean my office!"
Jocelyn twitched her nose and roasted, "Well, Mr. Austin, if you continue to be so stingy, you may not be able to get a wife in the future! Take it as my reminder."
Calvin didn't get angry.
He just glanced at her and asked, "Then what's your identity?"
Jocelyn flipped her hair and smiled lightly. "Me? Have you forgotten that we are only working together temporarily? If one day you meet your crush, we'll have to break up."
Jocelyn said that as if she didn't mind it at all, as if she was ready to break up with him at any time. Calvin, however, felt a little unhappy, but he did not know why. Anyway, he was not happy.
He frowned and stared at her, and Jocelyn suddenly revealed a bright smile. "Mr. Austin, don't tell me that you take it seriously and want to spend your whole life with me."
"How is that possible?"
Calvin looked away and tugged anxiously at his tie.
He said in his heart, "How would I possibly have such thoughts about Jocelyn?
I will never forget the little girl who saved me ten years ago. As long as I haven't found her, I won't give up.
As long as I find that little girl, I will definitely let Jocelyn go.
But now, she is still my wife in the name, so I have the right to control her."
Jocelyn's beautiful face was reflected in the glass as she smiled confidently and gracefully. "Why is it impossible? Anything is possible! Perhaps soon, you will find that I have many advantages, and then you may fall in love with me uncontrollably and hopelessly!"
After hearing Jocelyn's unfounded speculation, Calvin cast a speechless glance over at her. Then he threw her a book, which hit her in the face, and said, "You should take your medicine now!"
"Hey! Calvin! I think you're really..."
Jocelyn's beautiful face was hurt by the book, and she was so angry that she even lost her words for a moment. She thought, "I have never seen a man who is more straightforward than him. He is not considerate at all. He's really obnoxious, both in word and deed.
He's really annoying!"
"Really what? How would I fall in love with you, such a stupid woman? Only a fool like you would be deprecated like that!"
Calvin had a slight contempt for her. He thought her trouble was all caused by her stupidity. He couldn't understand why she didn't turn to him, such a powerful support, for help but chose to handle it all on her own. Therefore, he thought she was very stupid.
"I know how much I've been deprecated, but I don't need you to worry about me, Mr. Austin."
Jocelyn almost lost control of her anger. She thought, "I know he's a genius. So what then?
How could he despise me so much just because he's smarter than me?"
In fact, Calvin did not despise her. He just felt that she was too stubborn and didn't know how to use the resources around her.
He thought it would be impossible for her to stand alone against the darkness of the entertainment industry.
He was indeed a bit angry at her foolishness. After all, there were so many good men in the world that he could not understand why she would be so blind and fall in love with such a scum as Ernest.
"Who says I'm worried about you? You're not only hard-mouthed but also blind. No wonder you have been used by others," said Calvin with mockery.
Jocelyn was so angry that she even rolled her eyes and said angrily, "Yes, I'm blind! Every man I have ever loved is a scum! But Mr. Austin, you have no right to laugh at me. It's true that Ernest did not love me and used me, but so did you. Is there any difference between you two?"
Calvin couldn't help but feel a little angry. "Do you mean I'm the same as that kind of man?"
Jocelyn put her hands on her waist. "Aren't you? That scum has never kissed me, and you dare not. If you dare to kiss me, I will believe that you are different from him!"
Knowing that he was obsessed with cleanliness and wouldn't touch any woman casually, Jocelyn deliberately said so to block his mouth. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
"Don't think that I dare not do so!"
Calvin was stimulated and stood up abruptly. He stared at her with his dark eyes, as if he was looking at a hedgehog and had nowhere to start.
Jocelyn met his eyes and then saw his expression of frustration. Suddenly, she felt inexplicably happy.
"You dare not, do you, coward?"
Being satirized again by Jocelyn, Calvin went through complex and intense struggles in his mind. In the end, he closed his eyes and braced himself to kiss her straight on the forehead.
Then he immediately pushed her away, pretending to be alright, and said, "How about it? You'd better not satirize me again!"
Jocelyn blushed and lowered her head in silence, but in fact, she was laughing in her heart, "I really didn't expect him to dare kiss me!"
When Jocelyn stole a glance up at him, she was stunned, for Calvin was wiping his lips with a handkerchief. She thought in anger, "What does he mean?
Does he mean that I'm dirty?"
Seeing his reaction, Jocelyn could bear him no longer. "Mr. Austin, could you please consider my feelings? I'm a girl! What do you mean by wiping your lips after kissing me?"
To her surprise, Calvin said in a dull voice, "You didn't wash your face. It's too oily."
Jocelyn was stunned for a moment.
Then she thought in speechlessness, "Oh my god! He really thinks that I'm dirty!
How could he be so straightforward? I can't believe it! I really don't want to get along with him anymore!"
Anyway, Jocelyn had suffered a huge blow, and she wanted to seek comfort from Tammy again.
She roared in her heart, "Tammy, help me. I really can't stand your daddy any longer!"
After calming down a bit, Calvin felt that he had been too impulsive just now, and he felt very awkward now.
He turned around, walked to his desk, and sat down. Although he seemed calm, his mind was already messy. He thought, "I must have been too mad at her just now. Otherwise, I wouldn't have done that."
To hide his inner panic, Calvin could only start working with his computer.
He tried to compose himself so as not to be disturbed by her again.
Seeing that Calvin was already at work, Jocelyn did not trouble him again. Instead, she quietly nestled on the sofa and played games.
After that, the two of them were at peace. Though there was nothing tricky to deal with today, Calvin found himself utterly unable to settle down to work.
