Jess was surprised when Jason suddenly handed her a selection of wedding cakes, dresses and venue. Huh, what is this guy up to? is he proposing? Argh, so unromantic. Hey, hey, it can't be, we are not even in a relationship. She quickly shook her head to clear her mind. Jess is cursing Jason because he is the only one can make her so muddle headed. Jason could not help but be amused with Jess ever changing expression. This woman wears her emotions on her sleeves. He felt a sudden need to protect her, such gullible woman, easily fooled, need protection, his brain was chanting those words over and over again.

He suddenly felt dizzy, he saw a hand waving in front of his face, he caught the hand that was making his vision fuzzy. "Hey, let go!" "You were making me dizzy with all the waving" "Well, for a change, you were day dreaming, I wanted to get you out of your daze. What's up with the daze expression, are you... hey.. wait.. are you proposing?" she could not help but blurt out the question. She put two and two together and came to a conclusion. The wedding planning pamphlets and his daze expression with a hint of tenderness, maybe he wanted to propose. His silence was killing her and she wanted to bury her head anywhere as long as she can hide.

He suddenly bend down and his face was so close that the tip of his nose was touching the tip of her nose. "Do you want me to?" He looked straight into her eyes. She started to panic. Shit! shit! shit! what do I say? yes? no? Shit!! She took a step back but stumble on the box that was behind her and was about to fall but was saved by a strong arm encircling her waist and was pulled into his embrace. "Ahh." She was so close to him that she could hear his steady heart beats. Her own heart was beating furiously.

"Let me go!" she said as she was trying to hide her embarrassment. Why do I always embarrass myself? Jason taking joy in seeing her this way decided to let go abruptly. Jess did not managed to stabilise herself ended up on her butt. "Why do you always let go when I say so?" she complained. "Alright, it won't happen again next time, I won't let go even if you ask me a thousand times. Okay?" Jason said with a conceited smile. "By the way, go over the brochure and let me know what you think. Choose the best 3 of each. In the file below the brochure, is the picture of the lucky lady and her character. Since, you also major in psychology, I want to see if you can predict correctly which ones she would love. I will meet you later during lunch time to discuss. We are short on time. Everything need to be done this Saturday. I will be out because I need to go to the Bureau of Civil Affairs." He left soon after that, not even his shadow can be seen.

Jess quickly picked herself up and looked into the folder. In the folder was a picture of Jade Lu. Jess inhaled sharply because suddenly she felt a sharp pain piercing through her chest. He is marrying her? They seem like a pair made in heaven. The lady is indeed beautiful and has good family background. Why does it hurt so much when she knew he was going to marry someone else? She set aside her feelings and focused on her task. Soon it was lunch time.

He ordered food and they had their discussion in Derek's office. "Is it okay to use Boss's office?" "He is not here, why not?" "If he finds out, you are going to be responsible." "I'd take responsibility anytime for you." His flirty words cause another sharp pain to her heart. He was puzzled by her pained expression followed by a furious gaze. You bastard, already getting married still so flirtatious. She scolded him in her mind. She took a deep breath and her expression returned normal. "You shouldn't casually make those kind of remarks, people might misunderstand."she said in a firm voice.

"Who would misunderstand? It's only us here." he replied misunderstanding her words. She gritted her teeth, suppressing her anger, she needs to teach this idiot a lesson for that nice Miss Lu. "You are getting married to Miss Lu and yet you casually flirting. Does she know that you are a crocodile in human skin? Have you no shame?" "Buahahhhaha." Jason started to laugh so hard that he had tears at the corner of his eyes. She was perplexed by his reaction. Why is he laughing??

"Miss Tan, are you praying for my early demise? I, for one do not want to die a virgin. I haven't enjoyed life to the fullest yet. Derek will kill me if I covert his wife!" As if on cue, his phone rang. He put Derek on loud speaker. "Hey man. You are on loud speaker, just me and Jess here." "Hey buddy. Jess?" "The assistant you hired for me." "Ah. Have you settled the Bureau of Civil Affairs for this Saturday? Have you narrow down the wedding dress, cakes and venue?" "The bureau thingy settled, I was about to discuss with Jess about the cakes, dresses and venue before you called. I decided to get her input but I was scolded even before I could discuss"

Jess who was listening to the conversations between the two could not help but hold her breath to minimise the evidence of her presence. She just wanted to shrink into a mouse and hide inside a mouse hole. "She thinks I'm marrying Jade." "You dare repeat that?" the initially friendly voice became icy cold. Jason could not help but feel excited and exclaimed, "See... I TOLD YOU SO..He'd skinned me alive if I even have a slight interest. Derek, no worries, I treasure my life and I do not want to die in the hand of my best friend plus you know I'm .. I'm " he just left the sentence hanging with a smug smile written all over his face. A virgin!!! Jess's mind immediately filled in the blank. She blushed at the thought. Her heart no longer feel pain with the sudden news.

"As long as you know your boundaries, you'll be fine buddy. Give me a call once you guys are done. I'll be back tomorrow. Clean up the office after eating and don't put your legs on my desk!" "What the hell, did you install some CCTV here?" Jason quickly removed his legs.
