Dangerous Billionaire

CHAPTER 28

NOT JEALOUS

“Hold on.” Mrs. Anna intended to call Lexi about Cassandra’s arrival. She thought the girl was not interested in Lexi, but why did she come to this house after a month?

Mrs. Anna went downstairs and called Lexi. There was only Cassandra and Jessica in this room.

“How long have you been working here?”Cassandra asked. She thought Jessica was just a maid.

“Emm-one month!”Jessica answered. She continued to observe Cassandra from toe to toe. Beautiful face with appropriate makeup, her clothes looked very fashionable from famous brands. Indeed, everything in Cassandra was very harmonious.

“Follow me!” Cassandra asked. They walked and talked to the end of the stairs. She stopped and looked at Jessica. “Do you know where Lexi’s room is?”

“I know, Miss! But I can’t seem to get you inside. We are all maids in the forbidden entry, ” Jessica explained.

“Oh, okay. I just don’t want to know what was in the room,” she said, beckoning Jessica to follow her to the second floor balcony. “I want to ask you something!”

Cassandra stepped in the lead. They moved to the balcony.

“Sit down!” Cassandra said.

The contract wife of Lexi Ricardo was sitting next to a beautiful woman who seemed to have a special relationship with her husband.

“Is there a woman who came here, and was introduced to Lexi?” Cassandra tried to investigate. She was very curious, because Lexi never contacted her again. She felt rejected!

“I don’t know,” Jessica replied. His marriage to Lexi must be kept a secret that meant she must be silent, not to tell anyone.

“Does he seem to be in a relationship with a woman?” Cassandra, who felt ignored by Lexi, began to wonder about the widower’s personal life.

” I don’t know, ” Jessica answered quickly.

“I asked for your number, if there is something with Lexi you want to tell her right?” Cassandra made a deal. It seemed that she had a spy, so she could easily get information about Lexi.

Jessica gave her phone number.

“If there’s anything happening with Lexi, you want to tell me, right?” Cassandra looked at Jessica, observing her for a moment. For the maid, Jessica’s clothes looked expensive. And her face at a glance, Cassandra felt Jessica was very beautiful.

Jessica just nodded, seeing the movements of the beautiful woman in front of her, it made Jessica become curious, who is the woman in front of her and what she did with Lexi.

“Miss, my name is Jessica, what is your name?” Jessica reached out.

“I’m Cassandra,” she replied to Jessica’s hand.

“You areMr. Lexi’s girlfriend Miss?” Jessica asked. Cassandra was Lexi’s girlfriend. This woman would be very important and could immediately help her to get away from her husband and their contract marriage.

“No, I’m just being close to him, but it’s not impossible that Lexi and I will be dating in the near future! I’m not easily rejected, and I definitely get what I want! Lexi, I mean!” after learning of Lexi’s personality and past story from a secret source, Cassandra became very interested in the man.

“Emm-,” Jessica muttered. She couldn’t expect much. Lexi was not the kind of person who could delay his desires. If Lexi did want Cassandra there would be no marriage contract! “Miss, but why are you interested in Mr. Lexi, isn’t he a widower?”

There was a short pause. Cassandra seemed to be thinking before answering Jessica’s question.

“First, because he ignored me and made me wait, second I became very curious about him!” Cassandra spread her lips, smiling. She had a good chance of getting Lexi.

“Miss, sorry to interrupt, Mrs. Anna is already waiting for you downstairs!” the maid was suddenly here.

Cassandra got up from her seat. Then, she met Mrs. Anna who was in downstairs.

Mrs. Anna just called Lexi. According to the son’s wishes, she would not tell Cassandra about Lexi’s marriage to Jessica.

“Aunty, is Lexi staying at home?” Cassandra asked, who already knew that Lexi had another place to live. Two apartment units not far from the Ricardo Group main building.

“Lexi is sometimes in the apartment, sometimes in thisHouse!” Mrs. Anna answered. She wanted to tell Cassandra that Lexi is married. However, the behavior of the woman who seemed to like Lexi made Mrs. Anna doubt. It is doubtful that, if Cassandra found out, it would have an impact on the cooperation between the Ricardo Group and Cassandra’s family-owned Fashion Brand.

Mrs. Anna took a deep breath. If only the wedding of Lexi and Jessica were not kept secret and carried out secretly. Maybe she shouldn’t have lied to Cassandra.From NôvelDrama.Org.

“Emm yes, if there is a time when you want to have a vacation in Bali? We can invite Lexi also! Later I will also bring my mom, ” Cassandra suggested, which was intended to be closer to Ricardo’s family.

“Sure,” replied Mrs. Anna could not resist.

“Well, what about next week?”insisted Cassandra.

Mrs. Anna nodded, hoping Cassandra wasn’t serious about what she said.

Then, the two of them talked about a few things ranging from fashion business and Lexi. If there was no Jessica, Cassandra became the only candidate who would be the daughter-in-law of the Ricardo family.

“Where is Jessica, Ma?” Lexi asked who had just come home from work. The clock struck eight in the evening and his wife did not welcome his arrival.

“Jessica’s in her room!” Mrs. Anna said. She didn’t want to talk to the son longer and let Lexi go straight to Jessica’s room.

“Wait, Sir.” The maid stopped his steps.

“This is, Sir, I found this in the back room,” the maid explained while giving a box. She thought it was Jessica’s. “Maybe this belongs to miss Jessica!” she added.

“Thank you!” Lexi said. Then he stepped to towards the stairs.

Lexi stopped his footsteps. He was curious about the contents of the box. Jessica’s?

Then he opened it. Lexi’s hands moved quickly. He opened the box, and picked up the letter. Then he read what was written there. Jessica got a gift from Beryl, her boyfriend. And there was one that annoyed his heart.

“You know this heart, you are its owner!” Lexi muttered the contents of the last sentence in the letter. He was jealous, but laughed. He was glad Jessica became his wife. ‘Wait where are the necklaces and pendants!’

Lexi turned the door handle and opened it. Jessica was reading a book.

“Oh my husband is home”Jessica asked stammered.

Lexi watched Jessica closely. Pendant given Beryl, with the initials of the letter J was perfect for Jessica’s neck. His gaze turned to the finger, there was no ring coiled on her ring finger. The wife did not wear their wedding rings.

Lexi swallowed hard. There was a heaviness in his chest.

“Where is the ring from me? Why don’t you welcome me home? You seem to like breaking my rules Jessica!” Lexi was angry.

“I’m sorry,” she said slowly. “I just woke up and I didn’t wear a ring. Besides, there was Miss Cassandra here, sir!” Jessica answered. She lowered his head in fear.

“Cassandra? Did you talk to her?”Lexi investigated. He knew Cassandra was coming. He didn’t know if Jessica was talking to her.

“Yes sir, Miss Cassandra seems to be interested in you! She is beautiful and she also looks very smart!” Jessica praised. She didn’t feel jealous at all.

‘Didn’t I hear wrong? Shouldn’t Jessica be jealous? She just praised Cassandra instead!’ Lexi talked in his heart.

“Next time don’t talk to him! Do not accept gifts from anyone!” Lexi said strictly. “Let’s go!” Lexi took her.

“Where are we going, Sir?”Jessica glanced at Lexi, he had just come home from work and had not taken a break but he took her to leave.

“To the mall, change that outdated pendant of yours!” Lexi answered. How could Jessica have chosen to wear that cheap pendant instead of the diamond ring she was given. Lexi’s self-esteem was on the rise.

Jessica gawked, the man was not easy to guess. He was remembering the incident last night. Jessica thought Lexi would soon sleep and did sexual activity on the bed. In fact, the man took her to the mall.
