Chapter 8 The Third Party

Charlotte realized that Jason had misunderstood, so she hurriedly explained, "There's nothing going on between me and him. Mr. Hoyce noticed that I was alone, so he offered me a ride home, and that was what happened. I kept turning him down, but it was hard to hail a cab in that area, so I took his ride." As Charlotte was pinching her gown, she tidied her scattered hair, trying her best to make her appear more credible. She had to make things clear, otherwise, Jason would give her a hard time since he was not a man with a nice temper. She was quitting the next day, so she would do whatever she could to stay out of trouble. "You kept turning him down?" Jason glanced at her with some gloom in his eyes. He seemed to be amused by her statement and got angry at the same time. "It took me half an hour to go to Veronica's place and then return to the hotel, but you're saying that you kept turning him down. Do you take me as some fool, Charlotte?" "You returned to the hotel?" Charlotte's eyes instantly lit up. "Did you... go back to pick me up?" Jason pursed his lips while stopping the engine. "Get down." He wouldn't admit that he returned to the hotel to pick her up. When Jason thought of how Charlotte had left with another man, he got furious. Charlotte complied and got out of the car. She had been feeling upset, but she was now in a better mood. Did it mean that Jason still had some special feelings for her since he had returned to the hotel to pick her up? Although what they used to have had come to an end, Charlotte supposed that she wouldn't regret it if they parted in a nice way. The two went to Charlotte's place. She was in a good mood, so she took the initiative to help take off his suit and then undo his tie. Charlotte accidentally reached Jason's Adam's apple, which got him aroused a bit. "Okay now." Charlotte took off his tie and turned to hang it on the hanger, but then she could feel that he was pressing himself against her. Jason held her in his arms while moving his hands on her. She could feel his breath on her ear. There was nothing but tension in the room. He was so passionate that Charlotte's body went limp. She almost lost her balance. Jason tightened his grip on her and held her in his arms so tightly as if he was trying to crush her into pieces or make her a part of him. "Mm..." As Charlotte moaned softly, she was immersed in his touch. But when he reached her belly, Charlotte suddenly regained her sanity. "Hold-hold on!" She struggled hard. It took her quite some effort to break free from Jason's control. "What's wrong?" Jason's voice was hoarse. He seemed to be trying to eat her up with the desiring look in his eyes. Charlotte zipped her zipper and calmed herself down before saying, "I've already told you - we've parted ways. I'm here to get my stuff and will move out when I resign tomorrow." Jason narrowed his eyes. Agitated, he paced a few steps as he ripped open his shirt to get his burning desire in control. He tried hard to suppress his anger and said, "I can let that go as long as you don't ever mention it again. This is the last time I forgive you." He was making a concession with the hope that Charlotte would stop the scene she was making and get back to the way things used to be. However, Charlotte took a step forward seriously. Her clothes were messy, as well as her long curly brown hair, which made her appear especially delicate and charming. She said determinedly, "I mean it. We'll sever ties and go no contact." "Why are you doing this? Is it because of Veronica?" Jason's upper body was naked as he kept closing in on her. His muscular muscles were distinct and sexy. As he aggressively grew closer to her, Charlotte could only keep retreating. "Yes. You're about to marry her." "Rest assured. Whether I marry her or not won't change anything." Jason forced her into the corner and tried to kiss her lips when Charlotte suddenly pushed him, which caught him off guard. Charlotte's eyes were red with faint tears in them. She said stubbornly, "How can I rest assured? Do you think it will be okay for me to be your mistress? You've forgotten about the deal we made back then, haven't you? I told you that I hate the third party that interferes in a married couple the most!" Jason tried to wipe away her tears but stopped. He said prosaically, "we are different from the others." "How are we different?" Charlotte's eyes, although filled with tears, widened. "Veronica tried to embarrass me at the banquet today because she thought I was your secret lover, the third party involved in the relationship between you two. If it weren't for the fact that Silas helped me out, I wouldn't be able to get back at her." Jason was very annoyed as he blurted out, "You've indeed been my mistress, and what Veronica said about you was right. Why did Silas help you out?" He thought that Charlotte should've turned to him instead of Silas when she needed help. "Jason!" Charlotte widened her eyes in disbelief when her gorgeous face was filled with disappointment and dejection. Although she knew well that Jason was merely her sugar daddy and it would be her wishful thinking to try to be with him, she still felt so suffocated that she almost couldn't breathe when Jason said those words. "I..." Jason regretted what he had said and tried to make up for it when Charlotte pushed open the main door. "From now on, we'll part ways and have nothing to do with each other, Mr. Langley. Farewell now!" With that, she strode out of the house without the slightest hesitation. As Jason watched her determined back, he only knew that he had to keep her. If he allowed her to leave by then, he would be losing her forever. Jason rushed up and stopped her from closing the door. While Charlotte was screaming, he carried her on his shoulders. When he entered his bedroom, he threw her onto the bed. "Jason Langley! What are you doing?" Charlotte was terrified and hurriedly covered her belly, for fear that Jason would hurt her baby with what he was doing. "Stop struggling!" With that, Jason untied his belt and pressed down on her. "Let go of me! We have nothing to do with each other now!" "That's not up to you." Charlotte struggled with all her might but was easily suppressed by Jason, who was much stronger than her. With a tearing sound, the clothes Charlotte was wearing were all torn apart when she could clearly feel Jason's passion as he stuck in. Jason said in a hoarse voice, "Relax, Charlotte. Don't you ever turn me down..."
