Taming the Devil (EDITED AND REVISED)

Chapter-23

"Yes?" I furrowed my eyebrows.

"Yesterday afternoon, a man came asking for you. He said he was an old friend. The name was micheal." Dhe confirmed.

"Met him." I said trying to act casual but inside nervousness got me.

So that's how he found my home. But how did he know that i'm in sydney? And why would he visit ME? i mean i'm ugly whore according to him right?!

My head started to hurt again when my phone started ringing.

"Morning scar." Jason said. Something was off.

"Hey morning. Everything alright?" I asked, although i knew anwer.

"Can you meet me in coffee house opposite to your office in ten?" he asked seriously.

"okay. see you."

"Bye."

I jogged to other side of road inside coffee shop. Jason was sitting on corner table which was little secluded, perfect for private conversation. I immidiately went over to table and took opposite seat. He seemed to be in deep thought.

"Hi." I said slowly.

He snapped out of trance and gave me a half smile. "Hi."

We ordered our coffee and i motioned him to talk.

"It's about yesterday. I had a great time until that asshole showed up." he said in annoyed tone.

"You mean micheal." i pointed out.

"Yes whatever his name is, i don't care. I want you to stay away from him. I don't like other men claiming you." He looked straight into my eyes.

I frowned. I found his possessiveness somewhat annoying but i let it rest.

"Calm down jason. He is past. I don't intend to going back to him. But you have to trust me. We haven't even started yet and you are already getting jealous and possessive over nothing."

"It is not easy as you think. That man clearly has intentions to take you away from me. He is bad news to our relationship. I just need you to be cautious." He pointed out.

"How do you know he wants to take me from you?!" I asked.

Our coffees came. We only stared at each other until the waiter scurried away. The tension was thick in air.

"Didn't you notice the way he looked at you?! He wants you and i won't let that happen."

"You are simply worrying over nothing. Don't overreact over things." I sighed slightly annoyed.

"Don't be naive scarlett. You don't know how beautiful you are. You have everything that a man desires. You can make any man practically worship at your feet. That's why he wants you to himself." He stated matter-of-factly.

"Can we just drop it. It's not like i can do much by sitting over here. I don't want to argue further." I said finishing up my coffee and stood up from my seat ready to leave.

"I don't like people bossing me around. I have dealt a lot with it. I'm an independant woman and you simply cannot tell me what should i do.
Call me when you get over your jealousy." I glared at him. He only stared back. I left the shop back to my office.

When i got up anna was glancing at the entrance nervously. I immidiately knew something was wrong.

"What happened?" I asked her with raised brow.

"It's-uh it's that........uh." she stuttered trying to form sentence.

"Just speak already." I snapped. That opened her mouth.
