Debra was after Axell. And even though he knew it, he still went to meet her folks, even had dinner with them.
Jessie couldnt help feeling hurt. Shed decided to give Axell a shot, even met his folks with him. And yet, he was cozying up to Debras family too.
Jessie bowed her head, thinking hard. Then she pulled out the concert tickets from her bag and plonked them on the desk.
Softly, she said, Were done, Axel.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe wasnt going to budge on this one or inconvenience herself. She wouldnt stand for a two-timing guy, whether it was Albert or Axel.
Jessie tried to bolt but Axel blocked her path.
Let me go! She met his gaze head-on. Were done!
Hearing that, Axel gulped. His grip on her wrist loosened but then he tensed up again. He pleaded, his voice strained, Can we talk after my surgery? Please dont go! Jessie shook off his hand.
As she headed for the exit, he made a move to follow. But Debra piped up, Axel, surgerys starting. Patient should be out under now.
Hearing that, he spun around, shooting daggers at Debra. His eyes were fiery.
Her heart skipped. Shed never seen him this mad.
Was his love for Jessie that deep that hed fight with her over Jessie? No way! Shed known Axell for ages. She knew where his priorities lay.
It was never about a woman; it was always about his career.
Debra flashed a grin. Want me to smooth things over? | can go talk to her.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAxel kept his cool, saying icily, Nah, its cool.
Debra watched him head to the operation room, nonchalant despite his rage.
Jessie ditched the elevator for the stairs, heading downstairs from the office.
Funny enough, the VIP wards were just a floor below.
And there was Albert, puffing away on a cigarette, filling the stairwell with smoke.
Through the haze, Jessie caught sight of him.
