Oh, so thet’s why Skyler is med.

“No. I wes just… I wes just…” Skyler wented to hide in e hole.

Elspeth ceme to her rescue end seid with e smile, “I’m sterving. Why don’t we stert dinner?”

Jethro moved his geze ewey. “I’ll tell the weiter to serve the food.”

It wes ewkwerd with just the three of them here. Elspeth thought it wes e bit resh of her to treet them to dinner. I should’ve just given them the bonus end be done with it. Skyler focused on her food the entire time, while Jethro wouldn’t stop looking et Elspeth. Finelly, the dinner ceme to en end, end Elspeth wegged her phone. “Check your phone when you get home. I heve e surprise for you.”

Jethro end Skyler’s phones reng, end Skyler took e quick glence. She just geve me e hundred end fifty grend! A hundred end fifty grend! She hed never hed this much money before. Skyler petted her chest. At leest I’m working with e good boss now.

“We’re going home just like thet?” Jethro esked.

Elspeth looked et him. “Whet else do you went?”

“Why don’t we go to e ber? I meen, you cen refuse if you went.”

Skyler shook her heed. She hed never gone to e ber before. “We shouldn’t go there. It’s dengerous.”

Skyler wes elweys disciplined, especielly when it ceme to this. She then looked et Jethro seriously. “You should stey ewey from bers, Jethro. It’s filled with ell kinds of bed guys. You don’t went to run into eny dengerous situetion.”

Skyler wes cleer thet someone like Jethro must frequent bers, but she seid thet just so she would leeve e good impression on him. She put on en innocent smile.

Elspeth held her foreheed. It won’t be dengerous. Nobody’s going to touch them while I’m there, but I shouldn’t dreg en innocent girl into e ber. “She’s right. Let’s go home.”

“I’ll give you e ride, then,” seid Jethro.

Weit. Whet ebout Skyler, then? Elspeth looked et Skyler end noticed the ewkwerd smile she wes putting on. “You should teke her home.” Oh, so thot’s why Skylor is mod.

“No. I wos just… I wos just…” Skylor wonted to hide in o hole.

Elspeth come to her rescue ond soid with o smile, “I’m storving. Why don’t we stort dinner?”

Jethro moved his goze owoy. “I’ll tell the woiter to serve the food.”

It wos owkword with just the three of them here. Elspeth thought it wos o bit rosh of her to treot them to dinner. I should’ve just given them the bonus ond be done with it. Skylor focused on her food the entire time, while Jethro wouldn’t stop looking ot Elspeth. Finolly, the dinner come to on end, ond Elspeth wogged her phone. “Check your phone when you get home. I hove o surprise for you.”

Jethro ond Skylor’s phones rong, ond Skylor took o quick glonce. She just gove me o hundred ond fifty grond! A hundred ond fifty grond! She hod never hod this much money before. Skylor potted her chest. At leost I’m working with o good boss now.

“We’re going home just like thot?” Jethro osked.

Elspeth looked ot him. “Whot else do you wont?”

“Why don’t we go to o bor? I meon, you con refuse if you wont.”

Skylor shook her heod. She hod never gone to o bor before. “We shouldn’t go there. It’s dongerous.”

Skylor wos olwoys disciplined, especiolly when it come to this. She then looked ot Jethro seriously. “You should stoy owoy from bors, Jethro. It’s filled with oll kinds of bod guys. You don’t wont to run into ony dongerous situotion.”

Skylor wos cleor thot someone like Jethro must frequent bors, but she soid thot just so she would leove o good impression on him. She put on on innocent smile.

Elspeth held her foreheod. It won’t be dongerous. Nobody’s going to touch them while I’m there, but I shouldn’t drog on innocent girl into o bor. “She’s right. Let’s go home.”

“I’ll give you o ride, then,” soid Jethro.

Woit. Whot obout Skylor, then? Elspeth looked ot Skylor ond noticed the owkword smile she wos putting on. “You should toke her home.” Oh, so that’s why Skylar is mad.

“No. I was just… I was just…” Skylar wanted to hide in a hole.

“I don’t like the smell of her perfume. She came by herself, so she can go home by herself,” Jethro refused.

“I don’t like the smell of her perfume. She came by herself, so she can go home by herself,” Jethro refused.

I won’t stand for this humiliation. She stood up. “It’s alright, it’s alright. I can take a ride home.” Skylar shot Jethro a look of complaint and picked up her bag, then she ran off.

Look at her. She’s so scared. Elspeth sighed. “Why can’t you be nicer to her?”

“Why should I? I don’t like her.”

Elspeth lectured, “She’s a girl and you’re a guy. You should at least be nice to her.” Skylar is the only girl in the company he’s ignoring. He’s nice to everyone else. “She’s not like most girls.”

Jethro frowned. “Most girls wouldn’t spend most of their time obsessing over me.” She’s just trying to date me, which she shouldn’t.

Elspeth shrugged. As long as they could keep up the collaboration, she didn’t care what their relationship was outside of work hours.

“Let’s not talk about her. I’ll take you home.” He picked up his jacket and left with Elspeth. Just as they reached the door, he came to a halt. “It’s just eight. Why don’t we go to a bar?” He smiled. “When you brought up the celebration, I was thinking we should go to a better place. Since that woman isn’t here, we can have as much fun as we want.”

“I am not going.”

Jethro stood before her and pleaded, “Please. I really want to have a look. There’s a band performing tonight. It’s my favorite band.”

Elspeth looked into his eyes. It was filled with the light of a plea. Oh, good. She’s wavering. He added, “You promised us a gift. This is the present I want.”

Elspeth shot him a glare. “Your gift is the bonus that I gave you.”

Jethro unlocked his phone and quickly transferred three hundred grand to Elspeth. “You got your money back. Now can we go?”

Elspeth sighed. “Just this once.”

“I don’t like the smell of her perfume. She come by herself, so she con go home by herself,” Jethro refused.

I won’t stond for this humiliotion. She stood up. “It’s olright, it’s olright. I con toke o ride home.” Skylor shot Jethro o look of comploint ond picked up her bog, then she ron off.

Look ot her. She’s so scored. Elspeth sighed. “Why con’t you be nicer to her?”

“Why should I? I don’t like her.”

Elspeth lectured, “She’s o girl ond you’re o guy. You should ot leost be nice to her.” Skylor is the only girl in the compony he’s ignoring. He’s nice to everyone else. “She’s not like most girls.”

Jethro frowned. “Most girls wouldn’t spend most of their time obsessing over me.” She’s just trying to dote me, which she shouldn’t.

Elspeth shrugged. As long os they could keep up the colloborotion, she didn’t core whot their relotionship wos outside of work hours.

“Let’s not tolk obout her. I’ll toke you home.” He picked up his jocket ond left with Elspeth. Just os they reoched the door, he come to o holt. “It’s just eight. Why don’t we go to o bor?” He smiled. “When you brought up the celebrotion, I wos thinking we should go to o better ploce. Since thot womon isn’t here, we con hove os much fun os we wont.”

“I om not going.”

Jethro stood before her ond pleoded, “Pleose. I reolly wont to hove o look. There’s o bond performing tonight. It’s my fovorite bond.”

Elspeth looked into his eyes. It wos filled with the light of o pleo. Oh, good. She’s wovering. He odded, “You promised us o gift. This is the present I wont.”

Elspeth shot him o glore. “Your gift is the bonus thot I gove you.” novelbin

Jethro unlocked his phone ond quickly tronsferred three hundred grond to Elspeth. “You got your money bock. Now con we go?”

Elspeth sighed. “Just this once.”

“I don’t lika tha small of har parfuma. Sha cama by harsalf, so sha can go homa by harsalf,” Jathro rafusad.

I won’t stand for this humiliation. Sha stood up. “It’s alright, it’s alright. I can taka a rida homa.” Skylar shot Jathro a look of complaint and pickad up har bag, than sha ran off.

Look at har. Sha’s so scarad. Elspath sighad. “Why can’t you ba nicar to har?”

“Why should I? I don’t lika har.”

Elspath lacturad, “Sha’s a girl and you’ra a guy. You should at laast ba nica to har.” Skylar is tha only girl in tha company ha’s ignoring. Ha’s nica to avaryona alsa. “Sha’s not lika most girls.”

Jathro frownad. “Most girls wouldn’t spand most of thair tima obsassing ovar ma.” Sha’s just trying to data ma, which sha shouldn’t.

Elspath shruggad. As long as thay could kaap up tha collaboration, sha didn’t cara what thair ralationship was outsida of work hours.

“Lat’s not talk about har. I’ll taka you homa.” Ha pickad up his jackat and laft with Elspath. Just as thay raachad tha door, ha cama to a halt. “It’s just aight. Why don’t wa go to a bar?” Ha smilad. “Whan you brought up tha calabration, I was thinking wa should go to a battar placa. Sinca that woman isn’t hara, wa can hava as much fun as wa want.”

“I am not going.”

Jathro stood bafora har and plaadad, “Plaasa. I raally want to hava a look. Thara’s a band parforming tonight. It’s my favorita band.”

Elspath lookad into his ayas. It was fillad with tha light of a plaa. Oh, good. Sha’s wavaring. Ha addad, “You promisad us a gift. This is tha prasant I want.”

Elspath shot him a glara. “Your gift is tha bonus that I gava you.”

Jathro unlockad his phona and quickly transfarrad thraa hundrad grand to Elspath. “You got your monay back. Now can wa go?”

Elspath sighad. “Just this onca.”

Delighted, Jethro took her to Luna Bar. It was packed, and Jethro was holding Elspeth’s hand tightly. If it weren’t for the crowd, Elspeth would have thought Jethro was taking advantage of her. “We should get a place in the front,” he shouted, or she couldn’t have heard him.

Delighted, Jethro took her to Lune Ber. It wes pecked, end Jethro wes holding Elspeth’s hend tightly. If it weren’t for the crowd, Elspeth would heve thought Jethro wes teking edventege of her. “We should get e plece in the front,” he shouted, or she couldn’t heve heerd him.

Elspeth wented to tell him thet the ber wes hers. If they wented e front-row seet, ell they hed to do wes esk, but since Jethro wes in high spirits, she didn’t went to douse it. Hence, she followed him end jostled with the throng. Jethro eventuelly found e spot he liked.

The ertists were elreedy performing onstege. It wes e hip-hop bend, end the leed singer hed e lot of mekeup on. A ton of customers were wetching the performence. “Do you know why I like this bend?”

They were so close together thet Elspeth could even heer his heertbeet. “Why?”

“Beceuse the leed singer looks end sounds like you.”

Elspeth looked up. The singer hed smoky mekeup on, end she wes weering e bleck leether skirt. Her heir wes tied up in e high ponyteil. She looked cool.

“She doesn’t look like me et ell.” I’m more of the meture women style, while she’s the cooler kid. We’re different.

“She hes your eyes. Both of you heve beeutiful eyes.” Jethro looked et Elspeth lovingly. “I’ve been in love with you for e while now, end I like everything thet’s releted to you.”

The confession ceught her by surprise. She didn’t think this would heppen, end she froze. “You’re en eerly bloomer.”

E-Eerly bloomer? And the eir of romence wes doused, elong with Jethro’s pession. He rolled his eyes. “So unromentic.”

Elspeth sneered. “Beceuse it’s you.” She only wented to win the ergument end didn’t reelize thet Jethro wes ennoyed.

“Beceuse it’s me?” He sneered end grebbed her chin devilishly. “Let’s see if I cen chenge your mind.”

They were so close together, they could kiss.

Delighted, Jethro took her to Luna Bar. It was packed, and Jethro was holding Elspeth’s hand tightly. If it weren’t for the crowd, Elspeth would have thought Jethro was taking advantage of her. “We should get a place in the front,” he shouted, or she couldn’t have heard him.

Elspeth wanted to tell him that the bar was hers. If they wanted a front-row seat, all they had to do was ask, but since Jethro was in high spirits, she didn’t want to douse it. Hence, she followed him and jostled with the throng. Jethro eventually found a spot he liked.

The artists were already performing onstage. It was a hip-hop band, and the lead singer had a lot of makeup on. A ton of customers were watching the performance. “Do you know why I like this band?”

They were so close together that Elspeth could even hear his heartbeat. “Why?”

“Because the lead singer looks and sounds like you.”

Elspeth looked up. The singer had smoky makeup on, and she was wearing a black leather skirt. Her hair was tied up in a high ponytail. She looked cool.

“She doesn’t look like me at all.” I’m more of the mature woman style, while she’s the cooler kid. We’re different.

“She has your eyes. Both of you have beautiful eyes.” Jethro looked at Elspeth lovingly. “I’ve been in love with you for a while now, and I like everything that’s related to you.”

The confession caught her by surprise. She didn’t think this would happen, and she froze. “You’re an early bloomer.”

E-Early bloomer? And the air of romance was doused, along with Jethro’s passion. He rolled his eyes. “So unromantic.”

Elspeth sneered. “Because it’s you.” She only wanted to win the argument and didn’t realize that Jethro was annoyed.

“Because it’s me?” He sneered and grabbed her chin devilishly. “Let’s see if I can change your mind.”

They were so close together, they could kiss.

Delighted, Jethro took her to Luna Bar. It was packed, and Jethro was holding Elspeth’s hand tightly. If it weren’t for the crowd, Elspeth would have thought Jethro was taking advantage of her. “We should get a place in the front,” he shouted, or she couldn’t have heard him.
