CHAPTER 23

JEROME’S P.O.V

Gangguan!

Bila masa Jeremy pandai muncul 40 minit sebelum meeting bermula ni? This meeting room is always hauntingly quiet until 15 minutes before any meetings begin.

“Am I interrupting something here?” Menjengkelkan betul.

Yes, you are, Jeremy!

“You are.” I mumbled under my breath.

Saya sedaya-upaya mengawal diri dari Sapphire. All I keep seeing in her eyes is innocence. Pure innocence. If I ever see a flicker of lust in her eyes, I don’t think I can control myself anymore.

The first thing I wanna do is lick her voluptuous sexy lips. I want to taste her lips on my tongue. I want to kiss her until her lipstick smears all over her mouth.

I want to…

“Ehem?” Jeremy menaikkan satu kudou.

Saya tersentak with my want, wants and wantings.

Lantas saya memasukkan kedua-dua tangan saya dalam pocket seluar saya.

“Ashburn.” Saya menatap Jeremy dengan tatapan tajam. “You’re early.”

“Ashburn yourself.” Jeremy tersengih. “Seems like somebody is early too.”

Then Jeremy pura-pura batuk.
“Seems like ‘twobodies’ are early too.”

“Shut up.” I hissed at him. Sengaja saja dia ni.

Dari kelmarin lagi Jeremy menyindir saya. Saya masih penasaran apa yang saya cakap masa saya mabuk. I must have said something sampai gaya dia jadi begini sama saya.

Tatapan Jeremy menurun dari wajah saya ke dada saya.
“Buttons still on.”

Kitai!

The worst is yet to come.

Jeremy menyeringai.
“Lain kali kalau mau datang awal, pakai seluar loose sikit bah.”

Mata saya terbulat. Jeremy is staring at the lower part of my body.

Shit! Down, boy, down!

I can see the laughter in his eyes,  berhabis dia cuba menahan tawa dia.

Then dia sengaja cleared his throat so loudly.
“Ehemmm!”

I think I heard Sapphire gasped. Siapa juga tidak terkejut bah oleh si Jeremy yang muncul tiba-tiba.

“I see my brother is very disrespectful.” Jeremy bilang sambil melirik Sapphire. “Plain rude.”

I turned just in time to see Sapphire’s eyes terbulat mendengar kata-kata Jeremy kepada dia.

Jeremy menggelengkan kepala dia.
“No coffee? Or tea at least?” Jeremy buat bunyi cicak lagi ni. “What was he serving you with before I came in?”

What the…?!

“Erla!” Jeremy memanggil his secretary yang masih berdiri di luar meeting room sebelum saya sempat membalas kata-kata dia. “Get a-”

“Macchiato.” Saya cut him off.

Jeremy gave me a devilish smile.
“I think you meant Americano, J.”

Sengaja! Dia tau saya bukan cakap pasal coffee saya.

“Entertain me.” Ni adik! “When did you start drinking Macchiato, hmm, brother?”

I rolled my eyes at Jeremy.
“It’s for Sapphire.”

“Oh?” Masih lagi dia tidak puas mengerjakan saya oh kan. “You know what Sapphire likes to drink?”
