The Marriage Business
TMB CHAPTER 16 - Manipulative

"You okay?" jesa asked, holding out one hand to Ethel. Since the man was sitting on the floor, he wanted to help him stand up. "I must encourage you so that the lamp does not hit your head!"

Instead of accepting the helping hand, Ethel stands alone and leaves Jesa alone. He assumes that Jesa is the cause of his misfortune at the boutique.

"Ish, I'm sorry to have helped her," said Jesa, who felt neglected by Ethel. She could not believe such a man who spent the night with her.

Trying to throw that thought away, Jesa went back to doing his job. He had to go back to the office and bring clothes from the boutique he had taken.

While Ethel himself grumbled bitterly because he thought his life was filled with misfortune. He thought he would stop there but when he went to the dinner, Ethel met up with Jesa again.

It turns out that Jesa became a personal assistant to his business colleague.

"You get out of here and wait for me until the dinner is over!" boss Jesa orders, April's name. The woman looks the same age as Jesa but looks very arrogant, personally Ethel is not too fond of the woman.

Jesa just nodded even though he saw Ethel there, pretending he didn't know the man when in his heart Jesa wondered who Ethel really was.

"Please everything." April allowed him to eat because he invited the banquet tonight.

All raised their glasses and drank them together.

"It seems that all the affairs of the company have been taken completely by you, young lord Hoult,"

"Then you can be a young president,"

One by one rebuked Ethel between their meals.

But, Ethel retorted by raising both of his shoulders. He knew they were insinuating and doubting his abilities.

"I can only give my best and don't get hung up on age to judge someone" Ethel said.

It seems Ethel licked his own saliva because he also did that to Jesa. Adding to his list of guilt, Ethel's eyes occasionally looked for the adult female figure.

"Is he really on a diet?" ethel murmured in the heart.

After the dinner, Ethel deliberately lingered in his car while continuing to observe Jesa.

It appears that the woman drove April to her car and Jesa then returned home by ordering a taxi.

Ethel stepped on the gas pedal of his car and the car drove slowly closer to where Jesa was standing waiting for a taxi on the side of the road.

"Come in!" ethel exclaimed as he lowered his car glass.

Jesa is indifferent, he does not respond to the man until Ethel finally gets out of the car and forces Jesa into his car.

"I don't want to!" reject Jesa.

"You're a freak" said Ethel. He could have been rejected that way. "Don't be too confident, I just want to talk to you!"

"Speak here!" Jessa refuses Ethel's help. He doesn't want to deal with that guy anymore.

Ethel growled with clenched jaws, then shouted for Jesa to get into his car willingly.

"Look at this woman, after taking my virginity, she doesn't want to take responsibility!" his yell.

"What the fuck, you crazy man!" Jessa finally opens the car door and enters as they become the center of attention.

Ethel smiled triumphantly. "The woman changed her mind, just relax I can take care of myself. This time he won't be able to rape me so easily!"

"Be quiet! Besides being crazy you're manipulative too!" jesa shouted from inside the car.
