One Wild Night

Chapter 775 Goddess

It had been after she had pretended to be drunk and had made him kiss her. She had come to mess with him and had succeeded.

Thinking about it now, she giggled as she went to sit behind Harry's desk. They had come quite a long way, and she was glad he now belonged to her.

She bit her lower lip as she remembered the events of the previous night, and she sighed in pleasure. Harry was such an amazing lover, and merely thinking about all the sweet and wicked things he had done to her made her toes tingle.

Jade didn't have to wait for too long before Harry walked into the office. Jade swirled her seat around to face him, and she smiled when she saw the smile on Harry's face the moment he saw her sitting pretty in his seat.

"Will you believe me if I tell you I was in a hurry to leave my meeting just to come have lunch with you at home?" Harry asked as he went to her, and Jade grinned.

"Well, thankfully, you don't have to do that. I had the same thought in mind, so I brought lunch to you," Jade said as she rose to embrace him.

"You did?" He asked, sounding genuinely pleased.

"Yes. I couldn't wait until you got home in the evening to see you, so I decided to come see you with the excuse of bringing you lunch," Jade said with a pout.

"You don't need an excuse to come see me. Wanting to see me is enough. Besides, I'm happy you came. I've been thinking of you and missing you all day," Harry said before kissing her.

"Should I just quit my job and come stay home with you?" Harry asked, and Jade giggled.

"And what will you do when I have to resume work?" She asked, and he frowned.

"You will quit, too. I have enough money to take care of us both and our future kids, and I'm sure if I run out of money, Tom will be more than willing to sponsor my lifestyle," he said with a grin, and she giggled.

"I almost believed you until I remembered what a workaholic you are. I think it will get better when I start working here, and I can come to steal a glance at you from time to time in the middle of the day," Jade said, and Harry nodded.

"I could tell them I want a legal representative working with me in my office," Harry said thoughtfully, and Jade giggled.

"Yeah, right. By the way, I saw the notes you left me. Thanks for breakfast," she said, and Harry grinned.

"You did the dishes, didn't you?" He asked with a knowing smile.

"You know me too well. It's so annoying," she said, and he chuckled.

"And I got to know your body even better," he said and laughed softly when she blushed.

"When is your next meeting? Can we have lunch before you leave?" She asked, and he nodded.

"Lunch?" He asked, wriggling his brows suggestively, and Jade giggled.

"You've got a really dirty mind, Jonas. Can we use that table?" She asked, referring to the conference table in his office, and he grinned.

"Yep. It's strong enough to take any weight," Harry said with a wink, and she laughed out loud.

"I've ruined you," she said with a shake of her head.

"I like being ruined by you. How about you ruin me some more?" He asked, and she giggled.

"I can't with you. Just come here and eat," she said as she took the food pack to the conference table.

"You know what? I would love to eat more than that?" He asked with a serious expression as he watched her arrange the food on the table.

She raised a brow, "What?"

"You," he said with a grin, and she laughed.

"Can you just stop?" She asked, and he shook his head.

"Nope. I can't. Why haven't you commented on my muffler?" He asked, and she smiled shyly.

"Sorry. I know I'm the reason you're wearing that," she said, and he chuckled.

"Your brother says I was bitten by a vampire," Harry said, and Jade giggled.

"I must be Rebekah Mikaelson, and he is Klaus. Bryan would be Elijah," Jade said, and Harry raised a brow as they both sat to eat.

"Don't tell me you haven't seen The Originals," She asked, and he shrugged.

"I know it, but I didn't really watch it. I still can't believe you brought me lunch. I feel like a married man," Harry said with a grin as he ate.

"This is how I plan to keep bringing you food every day after we get married, so if you want this again soon, I suggest you marry me quickly," Jade said, and Harry laughed.

"Why didn't you wait until after we got married before doing this then?" Harry asked, and Jade shrugged as she swallowed the food in her mouth.

"That's because I wanted you to have a taste of all the benefits you'd be getting once we get married. I'm sure by the time I'm done, you'd want to marry me right away and not wait any more," Jade said, and Harry chuckled.

"And how do you intend to bring me lunch when you will also be working here?" He asked, and she smiled.

"That's easy. I will prepare the meal before leaving for the office with you and have one of our housekeepers deliver it to me before lunch, like Adolf does for Tom. Then I will bring it to your office," she said with a shrug.

"I don't want live in housekeepers," Harry said, and Jade frowned.

"Why not?"

"I don't like the idea of my workers living with me. Only family should live with me, not the people I'm paying. I can't trust them," Harry said, and Jade raised a brow.

"Is this about what Bryan's housekeeper did?" She asked, and he shook his head.

"That's just one of the examples to buttress my point. But I've never liked live-in help. They can come and go, but I don't want them living with me. Is that going to be a problem for you?" Harry asked, and Jade shook her head.

"As long as we have housekeepers to keep the house in order, I don't care whether they stay or go. I guess I will have to buy good lunch packs that can retain heat for hours. That way, I can bring our lunch with me in the morning," Jade said, and Harry smiled.

"Have I told you that you look beautiful?" Harry asked, and Jade smiled.

"You mentioned it in one of your notes, but I don't mind hearing it again," she said, and Harry grinned.

"You look beautiful, goddess," he said, and she raised a brow.

"Goddess?" She asked curiously since this was the third time he had called her that, and she loved it but wanted to know why he settled for it.

"Yeah. You're my goddess. And I love to worship your body," he said with a wink, and Jade giggled.

"I see," Jade said with an amused smile as she watched him eat.

Away from there, as Candace and Andy prepared lunch, Jamal ran into the kitchen, screaming happily.

"Mom, come and see! Aunt Andy, you too. Hurry!" He screamed excitedly.

"What is making you so excited?" Candace asked with a curious smile.

"Grandpa got me a bike!" He screamed as he grabbed her hand and ran out of the kitchen to go back outside where the bike was parked.

Candace exchanged an amused smile with Andy as she let Jamal lead her away, and Andy turned off the cooker and went out with them to see what was going on.

They knew that Jamal had always wanted a bike, but they didn't have the money to get him or the time to teach him how to ride one. How could they afford it when they had too many bills to take care of?

Aaron stood outside, not sure whether to laugh or to cry because of Jamal's excitement. He couldn't believe that his grandson was that happy to have his first bike at his age when he had been buying dozens of bikes yearly for various orphanage homes.

If Jamal was this happy about it, what about Candace and Andy? Did they ever get to learn how to ride bikes? It broke his heart to think about it.

Whenever he was beginning to think he had gotten over the loss of the last twenty-seven years with his daughter, something like this would come to mind, and he would be heartbroken all over again.

"Sorry, I didn't ask you first. When we were at Harry's, he told me how much he wanted a bike and wished he could learn to ride one," Aaron said when Candace came to stand beside him after celebrating with Jamal.

"You've made him so happy," Andy said as she stood at his other side while they all watched Jamal dance around his bike.

"Did either of you own a bike?" Aaron asked, and Candace came to stand in front of him since she heard the turmoil in his voice.

"Why do you like to upset yourself with thoughts like that?" She asked as she embraced him.

"I'm sorry, I wasn't there for you," Aaron said with tears in his eyes, and Andy looked up as she blinked back the tears that had gathered in her eyes too.

"You are here now. That's all that matters. Better late than never, remember? Besides, I'm glad Jamal is receiving all of this now from you. That should be your consolation," Candace said, her voice thick with emotions as she pulled back to look at him.

"Would you like to teach him how to ride the bike, or can I do it?" He asked, and Candace smiled.

"Please wear yourself out," Candace said easily.

"We should go in for lunch now," Andy suggested.

"Can't I ride my bike first?" Jamal asked hopefully.

"I will teach you how to do it after lunch," Aaron promised, and they went inside for lunch.

"Grandpa?" Jamal called as they ate.

"Yes?"

"When will you take me to see your company?" He asked curiously.

"I was waiting for you to settle in first. Would you like to go see it tomorrow?" Aaron asked, looking from him to Candace and Andy.

"Why tomorrow? What is stopping us from going there today?" Andy asked excitedly.

"Yes! Let's go today!" Jamal said happily.

"What about your bike lessons?" Candace asked Jamal.

"It can wait until we get back. Right, Grandpa?" Jamal asked eagerly, and Aaron smiled, happy that Jamal was enthusiastic to see the company.

"Sure. Let's go there after lunch then," Aaron said, and Andy gave Jamal a high five.

After lunch, they all went upstairs to dress up. Candace settled for a two-piece trouser and top, wanting to look classy and dignified, while Andy settled for a black high-waist ripped boyfriend jeans with a crop top and heeled sandals.

"Don't you think you should wear something corporate since we are going to a corporate environment?" Candace asked when they met outside their bedrooms.

"Nope. I'm only going sightseeing, not for a business meeting. Besides, we both know I'm not cut out for the corporate lifestyle. This is my style, Candy. I'm not trying to look like what I'm not. I'm more comfortable this way. I'm into showbiz, remember?" She asked, and Candace rolled her eyes.

"Yeah."

"Good. Now, don't forget that and start trying to change my style, okay?" Andy said as she led the way out of the room.

"You both look beautiful," Aaron said with a smile of approval when they both joined him and Jamal downstairs.

"I hope you don't mind my outfit?" Andy asked curiously.

"What is wrong with your outfit?" Aaron asked in confusion, and Andy flashed Candace a smile.

"I just wanted to be sure I didn't look too casual," Andy said, and Candace scowled at her, making her giggle.

"We should take your car," Aaron suggested as they all headed outside, and Candace grinned.

"I thought so too," she said as she took the car key out of her handbag.
