Love Her to No End

Chapter 34

Chapter 34 Running Wild

Mr. Jonathan, I’ve received the clothes. I’d like to treat you to dinner this Friday to express my gratitude. Would that be a convenient time for you?

Jonathan was in a meeting when he received the text message.

He had not had any rest since he got off the plane and rushed to the office to work overtime. He had not gotten more than four hours of sleep every day and had been having several meetings consecutively. Due to that, both he and Walter had dark circles under their eyes.

The latter couldn’t help but think that the power of love was indeed powerful as he watched Jonathan work like he had been drugged.

When Jonathan heard the phone vibrate and saw that there was a text from Michaela, he instantly interrupted the executive who was talking, “Let’s take a break and continue after ten minutes.”

Then, without caring about the people in the room, who had varying reactions, he got up and walked out of the conference room to call Michaela. NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

The woman guessed that Jonathan must be busy seeing that he didn’t reply to her, so she gave Lorelei a video call.

Lorelei was still basking in glee at the fact that Alois had invited her out for dinner. She kept asking questions about what she should do during the dinner. “What should we talk about to ease the tension?”

“Would it seem too unladylike if I told him how I feel now? Or do you think I should use this chance to invite him out again?”

However, Jonathan’s call came through when she was getting invested in the conversation.

Michaela almost threw her phone when she saw the call. But she quickly bid farewell to Lorelei and feigned calmness before answering the call. “Mr. Jonathan!”

“Are you going to sleep soon?”

Her heart thumped upon hearing his deep and alluring voice. “I’m going to sleep in a while,” she answered softly.

“Is everything going well with your new job?”

His composed voice sounded hoarse from having several meetings consecutively, but it sounded extremely attractive.

Michaela felt her face burn, and she wanted to end the call as soon as possible. “It’s great! As for the dinner I mentioned earlier, it’s fine even if you’re not free on Friday night…”

“I’ll come pick you up from work this Friday night.”

Jonathan held himself back from contacting her. However, now that he heard her voice, whatever self- control he had left him, he wanted so much to return to her side.

The man couldn’t help but burst into laughter at the thought of this. Thinking back, he wondered how he had spent the last five years.

Frankly speaking, Michaela had chosen Friday because she needed to retrieve his coat from the dry cleaner so that she could return it to Jonathan. Otherwise, her mother would be asking about the owner of the coat.

When she heard that he wanted to pick her up, she subconsciously rejected, “It’s fine. I’ll send you the location when I make the reservation. I can head there myself.”

“Just wait for me to pick you up. Be good!”

His low voice sounded as though he was beside her. She couldn’t help but shudder at his seductive voice.

“Okay. Goodnight, Mr. Jonathan.”

As he listened to Michaela’s panicked voice, the corners of Jonathan’s lips tilted upward into a smile. “Goodnight, Mich.”

Michaela’s face flushed red just from hearing the two simple words from him, and she felt the heat spread across her body.

A tingling sensation then spread across her skin. She reached up to touch her burning cheeks before pulling the blankets to cover her face.

Meanwhile, Walter, who was on the other side of the world, couldn’t stop himself from shuddering when he heard Jonathan speaking so gently, burning himself with the glass of hot water in the process.

Crap! It burns!

However, the pain was nothing compared to how his boss had spoken earlier.

Just as he was about the hand the glass to Jonathan, he saw the corners of the man’s lips curl upward into a charming smile. Walter froze in an instant at the sight of this. He quickly put the glass down and turned to leave.

He walked away hastily in huge strides as if a beast was chasing after him from behind, worried that he would be murdered if he knew too much.

However, Walter had only taken a few steps when Jonathan’s voice came from behind. “You heard that, Walter. I need to rush back this Friday night to have dinner with Mich. Quickly book a plane ticket,” he ordered.

“But Epea…”

“Are you trying to teach me what to do?”

He took a side glance at Walter. His gaze was so cold and terrifying that one could barely bring themselves to look directly at him.

It had only been a moment, but the latter’s forehead was already covered in sweat. “No! I’ve crossed the line!” he said as his face turned pale out of horror.

Jonathan’s temper had gotten a lot better since returning to the country, which was also why Walter had become a little carefree and offended the former.

Mr. Xander was always someone who wouldn’t repeat something twice. It seems like what happened today wouldn’t go without punishment.

Yet, he didn’t expect Jonathan to look away. The terrifying aura on him was then slowly replaced by a lazy and casual attitude. The latter waved his hand and said indifferently, “Go ahead and do what you need to. The meeting will continue in five minutes.”

“Understood!”

Walking out of the office, Walter wiped the sweat off his forehead, his lips pursed. That was close. I’ll have to get on Ms. Lingard’s good side so she can act as my protection amulet once we go back.

Jonathan’s mood improved significantly at the thought of being able to meet Michaela on Friday. In fact, he had a warm smile on his face throughout the next half of the meeting.

However, he never would have expected that Michaela had never spared another glance at the clothes he told Gary to buy for her since she hung them up in her closet.

To Jonathan, Gary was an honest and cautious person. He would complete any task given excellently, which was why he was assigned to protect Michaela.

However, since he was in Epea, it wasn’t possible to buy her the clothes himself. Hence, he entrusted this task to Gary. The only requirement he had was for the latter to buy something less revealing.

Little did Jonathan know that he had underestimated the latter’s taste in clothes.

It was only when he entered Michaela’s room that he saw the clothes, still with their tags on, hanging in her closet. “Are these your clothes?” he asked in confusion.

“Didn’t you send someone to give them to me when I just started work?” she asked with a frown.

Hearing that, he coughed lightly in an attempt to hide his worries.

It seemed like he was richly blessed since he was able to get himself such a beauty. It was indeed true love since she didn’t feel disgusted by him because of what his subordinate had done.

Everything was going well with the campus at Gerton. However, there were pushbacks with some procedures that needed Hannah to handle personally.

She was worried about her daughter and wanted to bring her along. However, Michaela refused with her work as an excuse.

Seeing that her daughter was being so adamant, Hannah didn’t try to further convince her. Instead, she told Michaela to stay at the Simmons residence for a few days. In all honesty, she was worried that Jacob would have something planned for her daughter.

On Friday afternoon, Michaela had deliberately taken two hours off to have lunch with her mother. She only rushed back to work after sending her to the airport.

She would never have expected that when she reached her company, she would meet with an unexpected guest.

She walked toward the entrance once the car came to a stop. At the sight of this, Lucille, who was waiting by the entrance, quickly got up and greeted her awkwardly, “Michaela!”
