Rivals

Chapter 4

~Jessica~

I was furious. I so badly wanted to castrate that guy. How dare he do that? I mean he can't even take hints. How dumb. I raked my fingers through my hair. His father also had the guts to ask me about the deal whereas I was almost harassed by his son. Like father like son.

I didn't want to stay anymore so I just walked of the door informing their butler about my leave. All this while Toby just silently trudged along without a word. He knew better than to talk when I was mad.

I opened the door to my car and got in. Toby silently got in too.

I pressed the button to open the window. The wind silently teased my face and blew my hair away from my face. I turned on the radio and cranked it up. The volume of the music drowning my anger.

Toby slightly decreased the volume and looked at me. "Are you okay?"

"Do I look okay?" I said, my voice sounding louder than I had intended to.

"Look if you wanna talk about it I'm always here." He said and looked straight ahead. Man he always knew where to hit.

"Fine. I'm damn mad at him. I mean I told him I wasn't interested in him but he still didn t stop. That's what pisses me off." I complained keeping my eyes on the road.

"You have finally met your match."

"What do you mean?"

"I mean look even he is a player. Remember your crush in college. You wouldn't stop stalking him and seducing him until he reported your account on social media. Even then you didn t stop. He moved away and that was when you finally stopped. So I'm just saying that you both are very stubborn. You both can do anything to get what you want." He said a small smile playing on lips. I looked at him and then back to the road. I sighed but didn't answer.

He was right in a way. But Noah doesn't know how competitive I was so he was going to have a hard time. I was almost done with my current project. One more floor and then I would be done. This was going to be the most expensive condo in the city. I had to go to the site tomorrow so I was glad in a way that I would get more time to sleep.

The blueprints were with me so I had to go to the site. Even if I wasn't needed I would still go because I liked to support the workers and help my co-workers. I was not a spoiled child like that Noah. He doesn't know the real life of people.

I pulled into the driveway of my building and parked it in the basement. I was staying in the penthouse until my mansion was ready.

I nodded at the receptionist as I entered. The doors of the elevator opened and I stepped in with Toby beside me. The elevator shot up and stopped after a while. The doors of the elevator opened with a bing. "Have a pleasant day." A female voice called.

I stepped out of the elevator and closed the gap between the elevator and the door in just four long strides. I checked the time on my phone. It was just ten-thirty. Good mum and dad would be awake. I rang the bell once and waited. After a moment the door opened and dad stood there with a smile on his face. He stood aside for us to enter. My dad, Philip Williamson had red hair and dark eyes. His freckles looked cute on him and he was great at being a dad. "You're early."

"Yeah I have to go the site tomorrow so I came back early. Before you ask I'll drop Toby on my way." I said as dad had opened his mouth to speak.

He smiled. "Fine. Your mum made your favourite chocolate cake. It's there on the table." My face lit up and I raced to the dining hall with Toby on my heels. On the table there were two plates with a piece of cake on it with two spoons . I grabbed one plate and dug into the cake. Mmm. My mom made the best cakes. "Look at you both. You both still act like kids." I turned around to see that mum stood there with her hands on her hips. Her brown hair was tied into a bun and her blue-green eyes looked at us as if she was looking at two adorable kids.

I grinned. "Sorry mum. I'm almost done." I said and gobbled the rest of the cake. I set the plate in the sink and kissed my mom on cheek. "It's your fault for making such tasty cakes." I called over my shoulder as I opened the door of my room and closed it behind me. My anger had subsided a lot but I was still mad.

I went into my en-suite bathroom and turned on the shower. All I needed now was a nice, warm shower and a good night sleep. After standing under the shower for fifteen minutes I wiped myself dry with a towel and wrapped it around myself. There was another door in my bathroom which led to my walk-in closet.

It was divided into three sections. The first section consisted clothes for official purposes including party dresses and suits and casual wear. The second section consisted of my sleepwear and underwear. My accessories and make-up made up the third section.

I changed into a white t-shirt and a pair of shorts. I set my alarm at seven 'o' clock. I had  to reach the site by eight-thirty and also had to drop Toby to school. I switched off the lights and climbed on my bed pulling the covers up to my neck. I closed my eyes and drifted off to sleep.
