My Billionaire Husband

Chapter 12 - 12: Going Back Home



She knocked non stop for about three seconds before she let herself into the hotel room. It might have been just her but she's pretty sure there was an intense s.e.x.u.a.l atmosphere hanging in the room.

"Sorry for intruding I'm just freshening up then I'm gone." She passed by dramatically holding one hand over her eyes while the other one in front of her face.

"Jaiye."

Uh-oh, she must have pissed him off because he was calling her by her full name. She slowly removed her hand from her face and turned to look at him.

"Yes, Jayden." She matched with her faux serious voice. She noticed him fisting his hands and she inwardly smiled. He'd always hated that name.

She saw he'd pulled on his pants and redhead was standing by the sink looking like he'd been caught doing something. Jayden rubbed one palm over his face and sighed loudly.

"Honestly, what will I do with you. Hurry up and go freshen up. I need my shirt back." he screamed on her because she disturbed them of what they are doing.

"Okay, here's your phone." She quickly handed him his phone and placed her on the counter. "I have a million missed calls from dad and Maddie so I'll probably be leaving immediately after I shower." She saw that he was about to open his mouth to throw her a smart response but she quickly changed the topic.

"Has my soup arrived yet?"

"Hmm? Yes, it did." He said suddenly standing up straight and backing away. She quickly covered the distance between them again matching the step he'd taken.

"And...where is it?" Her eyes were narrowed to slits as she drew even closer to him.

"Funny story, when Ryan arrived he mentioned something about being hungry and your soup conveniently arrived right after he said that. He's a guest so..." a naughty smiled he give to her.

She stepped back and blinked surprised at his answer, then it hit her, this is Jayden she's dealing with. "If I find out you're lying to me dear God help you."

She got on her tiptoes and sniffed him. Then backed down.

She slowly walked towards redhead trying to be as intimidating as she could in just a T-shirt.

"Who ate my buns and soup?"

"I'm sorry, I did. I was starving."

"I wasn't gone for long, you mean to tell me you ate it all that fast?"

"Yea, it wasn't much anyway. You know these fancy places with their tiny rations."

Hmm. He had a point. But she knew he was just covering up for his stupid Jayden, no one ate as fast as that guy. She'd just let it slide. It wasn't that big a deal. She'd just stop somewhere and have something before she head-on home.

"Oh well. I'll forgive you today, but in future, if you eat my food again. I sliced your throat with my finger knowing you'd got me"

"Okay."

She stormed off to the bathroom and took a quick shower. She quickly washed her hair hoping there was a dryer available. As she stepped out of the shower she quickly spotted the dryer on the far left and sent her thanks to whoever thought of it.

She quickly dried her hair and held it up in a messy bun then stepped out to look for her dress. It was about time for her walk of shame.

Redhead stopped saying whatever it was he was talking about once he spotted her.

"Oh, don't mind me, I'm just not interested intruder, looking for my dress and the hotel lotion," She quickly said under her breath as she threw things around looking for her dress, u.n.d.e.r.w.e.a.r, shoes, and bag.

She found her clothes surprisingly neatly folded and placed on the corner of the bed. Her side of the bed, surprisingly. You'd think she notices such things earlier. She mumbled some insane words under her bed, grabbed them and the little tube of lotion she'd found and went back into the bathroom.

She came out nearly five minutes later and begun the search for her shoes.

She found them tossed beside the door and quickly pulled them on.

"So, well, I'm done. Wish me luck." She kissed Jayden on both cheeks waved at redhead then left. She paused at the door suddenly remembering,

"Hey, please give Sally my number. We need to hang out again. And make sure you come to visit me, okay? Or text me where you are and I'll come over. Bye." She pulled on the last, as she shut the door behind her.

She ruffled through her bag confirming everything was intact.

She went down the stairs thinking of all the worst possible scenarios. Maybe she finds her daddy dearest waiting for her, having a cigar in his mouth tense silence between him and his in-law. Naah..that couldn't happen.

Luckily she got a cab immediately she stepped out. She's sure she'll get some food back in the house, was there any need for her to stop by somewhere for food. Actually, yes. She couldn't risk having her appetite ruined.

She explained to the driver to take her by a drive through then back home and to drive slowly so that she'd finish her food.

Of course, he refused to say that he had a strict no food policy in his car, but after a bit of sweet-talking and offering to tip him generously, he agreed. What dumbass said money ain't equal to happiness? A stupid fool no doubt.

By the time he was pulling into the house it was around 6.30, well, not bad timing anyway. She straightened her clothes then slowly pushed the door open, her heart in her mouth. She walked cautiously nearly on her tiptoes trying not to pick out any noises, or voices but it was deathly silence.

She couldn't relax until she was safely in her room.

"Hello Mrs. Ji," She nearly jumped out of her skin when she spotted one of the maids right beside her. Her heart was pounding frantically and she took deep breaths trying to calm herself down.

"Jesus Christ woman, are you trying to kill me!"

She didn't even bother apologizing. But at least she dared to bow her head a bit and then continued, "Mr. Ji wants you in his study immediately." After delivering her message she immediately walked away not even waiting for her to say anything.

"Alright!" She needs to go change first of course though.

He was already mad, she presumed, he could wait a bit longer.
