Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman

Chapter 36 Are You Flirting With Me

Jean was so shy that she covered her eyes with her hands and said, "No, I am not!"

"Well, are you flirting with me? This is the sixth time." He smiled charmingly.

Jean covered her eyes with one hand and covered her mouth with the other. She did not dare to speak

again. She feared she would say something that would encourage Zed some more. Instead she

focused on controlling her heartbeat.

As for seducing, it seemed that he was seducing her!

Jean found it difficult to control her thoughts. Every time she tried, she remembered seeing Zed's

passionate eyes when she first woke that morning. Then, she thought of Zed's morning kiss and the

feel of his skin against her hands when they fell on the bed.

The more she thought about it, the faster her heart beat.

Plop, plop, plop! It seemed as though her heart was ready to jump out of her chest.

After a few seconds of silence, Jean peeked at Zed through her fingers. Noticing that Zed wasn't in

front of her, Jean relaxed and uncovered her eyes. But when she sat up, she found that Zed was

changing into his trousers beside the bed.

"Oh, I'm so sorry! I'll give you some privacy." Jean hurriedly spoke before covering her eyes and

rushing out of the bedroom.

Once in front of the refrigerator, Jean grabbed a bottle of ice water, unscrewed the cap, and took a

huge gulp to help herself calm down.

"Don't drink too much cold water."

Zed said as he removed the bottle from Jean's hands and threw it into the trash can.

"There is hot water in the water dispenser. Warm water helps avoid cramps during menstrual periods."

Jean shifted her gaze to the floor and nodded innocently. She looked like a child who had been

admonished for doing something wrong.

Zed reached out and gently played with Jean's hair. "I have to go to the company now. If you get bored,

you can go shopping and use my credit card. But... don't visit the stores related to my company."

Hearing that, Jean lowered her head even further. She was so embarrassed that Jean wished she

would disappear.

"I am afraid people will gossip about you. It's not good for your reputation." He explained.

After Zed left, Jean gradually settled. Her embarrassment reduced and she stopped flushing. As time

passed, she felt depressed. Zed had given her his credit card and allowed her to decide the usage of

that land. Since he kept treating her so nicely did that mean that he wasn't going to divorce her?

Jean's mobile phone vibrated.

When Jean looked at the screen, she saw that Eva was calling her. It reminded Jean that staying

married to Zed was just a beautiful dream as she had promised Eva that she would help them to

reconcile.

"Hello." Jean said meekly. Considering the events of the morning and her thoughts from before the

phone call, Jean was flooded with guilt.

"Jean, how have you been recently?" Eva asked tentatively.

"I'm all right." Jean answered.

"What about Zed? Do you know what he is busy with? I have sent him a lot of messages and even

called him many times over the past two days. But he just ignored me. He…"

"Hey, Eva, calm down. You're trying too hard. Men don't like clingy women at all."

"Then what should I do? I don't think waiting is a good option. What if another woman tries seducing

Zed before I have the opportunity to speak with him? I, I…" Eva's expression distorted. Jean was the

only woman Eva was worried about. Since Jean and Zed stayed in the same house, it was highly likely

that Zed would fall in love with Jean.

"Don't think too much about that. No one except you could fall in love with Zed. He's as cool and

indifferent as an icehouse! How about I help you create an opportunity? A coincidental meeting

between you and Zed will give you the chance to charm him." As Jean comforted Eva, she felt a hint of

sorrow and grief in her heart.

"Really? That's a great idea! Jean, you are my best friend! After I have reconciled with Zed, I will send

a big gift to you!" Eva was excited and could not wait to meet with Zed.

After concluding the call with Eva, Jean stood in the living room and looked around in a daze.

"Dear big villa, after Eva reconciles with Zed, I will have to say goodbye to you."

Jean pressed her lips together as she thought about her life with Zed. It still seemed like a dream to

her. She wasn't lucky enough to enjoy such a luxurious life nor the grace of the host.

Jean decided to focus on different issues. At the moment, she had to figure out a way to arrange for a

meeting between Zed and Eva. Last time, she was inspired by something she had seen on the TV.

Since she couldn't think of anything, Jean turned on the TV and began flipping through the channels.

She was hoping to find a drama series with a plot she could use as reference, but no drama was being

broadcasted.

"Tonight, the Gemini meteor shower will start at 9:30. Experts say the meteor shower will last for at

least half an hour and can be seen by the naked eye if the weather stays clear. We sincerely remind

people who want to watch the meteor shower, to please find the best place to watch in advance. This is

a rare meteor shower that can be seen only once in a century..."

Jean looked at the news wearily. Suddenly, an idea flashed in her mind. She sat up quickly. "Oh,

meteor shower! It is so romantic. Zed would probably like it!"

Then she tentatively sent a message to Zed, asking him if he had time to watch the Gemini meteor

shower at night. Unexpectedly, Zed immediately agreed. Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

Looking at the message, Jean felt excited at first. Then, she felt a little upset. She imagined Zed and

Eva watching the meteor shower while embracing each other.

"Okay. I can't think too much about that. Our relationship will end sooner or later. There is no need to

be reluctant to leave. Come on! Let's help Eva to find a romantic venue!"

She jumped off the sofa and picked up the phone to call Eva. "I have made an appointment with Zed. I

have invited him to watch the Gemini meteor shower tonight. Is there a place that used to be very

important and memorable to you and Zed? Think about it."

"Yeah. The seaside. We had our first date at the seaside." Eva said to Jean.

"Oh…" The expression on Jean's face soured as she heard about Eva and Zed's first date.

"Is something wrong?"

"Nothing. Then the appointment will be scheduled for the seaside. Please send me the address. I will

help you decorate it in advance."

After ending the call, Jean felt too upset to stand. She plopped on the sofa and questioned her decision

to help Eva. Before she could be consumed by anxiety, Jean adjusted her mood, took her handbag,

and went out.

At the seaside villa, Jean booked the best room with an open-air balcony. It would be the prefect place

to watch the meteor shower!

Zed liked blue. So, she bought a lot of blue balloons and decorated the room with them. Then she

sprayed the perfume that he liked.

After the decoration, Jean stood on the balcony and looked at everything she had carefully prepared.

She couldn't help but sigh. "In the past, to please you, I made every effort to learn about your

preferences. Finally, that knowledge has come in handy."

Ding!

When the door bell rang, Jean was shaken from her morose thoughts. She hurried to open the door.

She was startled to see Eva. In her absentmindedness, Jean had expected to see Zed. Eva was

wearing an elegant long tube dress that showed her light-complexioned shoulders. She had worn

makeup and styled her hair as well. Eva had certainly made an effort to dress for the occasion.

"You look so beautiful!" Jean could not help praising her.

"Thank you." Eva walked into the room and looked at the decorations inside. She noted that everything

from the color choice to the furnishings, were according to Zed's preferences. Eva felt a bit unhappy

and turned to look at Jean.

"Did you do all this by yourself? It seems that you know Zed well!"

Jean nodded but then hurriedly shook her head. "All his preferences can be found on Google. I have

researched them online. Please don't misunderstand me."

"Oh, really? Anyway, thank you." After saying that, Eva held Jean's hands and spoke again, "Zed

should be here soon. Could you please leave before he arrives?"
