My Billionaire Boss Is Jealous Of My Boyfriend - Chapter 18

He was sitting on the edge of the couch and glazing Emmett Li on the opposite sofa. He had covered his ears with hands in an attempt to prevent his ear drums to get damaged for Peter’s high pitched shout was irking.

Emmett Li smiled, he nodded his skull in a yes as he removed his arms from his ears with a raised brow. “I swear am! I am not even joking, if you think that I am joking to you” he shrugged his shoulders normally with a ‘I am serious’ look playing with a joyful smirk on his face.

‘Oh no, Emmett! Are you like really sure that you want to do this?” Peter asked his eyes blinked with a thrill of excitement as he realized that his friend was nodding to him yet again.

” Jeez, you mean to say, that pretty chick, uh what is her name, Kelly Ho, you want to mess up with her because she made you jealous!” Peter repeated Emmett Li’s words.

At least that is what he wanted to do to Kelly Ho. Well, after the dinner, the two guys sat in the drawing room with a bottle of champagne and some pop corns. Emmett Li has said Peter that whatever he was going to tell him tonight would leave him dazed and during that phase, they would some distraction. And what could be better than tasty champagne?

Emmett Li told Peter the entirety that occurred today during the interview between him and Kelly Ho. His expression, by the time he was describing every moment of the same, was worth a watch.

Sipping some champagne Emmett Li slurred and announced, his tongue slurred way too much. “Yeah, I am determined enough to do it. I envy her love life. You know buddy, she had like, God knows how many problems, yet she was happy. Why? I want to ask why? I mean, here I have everything still I don’t have happiness.”

“Excluding a girlfriend. Dude, you don’t have a girl in your life, remember!” Emmett Li’s lips pursed together, he glared his friend with a poker face soon when he mentioned his empty love life.

He narrowed his eyes and annoyingly glared Peter. There was jealousy, anger and frustration on his face. Emmett Li pouted and said, “I know that, you don’t have to keep reminding me about that! In fact, that is the reason why I want to be a part of her problematically happy life. I want to know what does she have in spite of having nothing that makes her feel better amidst all her woes. I just want to see what keeps her going on despite all the tension she has.” Emmett pouted.

“No… no… no… You don’t want to see what keeps her going. You just want to simply play with her already problematic life so that you feel a little good. You want to indirectly directly target her happiness and ruin her.” Peter said.

Was not he right though?

Emmett Li’s life was messed up. There was everything he wanted but some love. He has physical pŀėȧsurė as there were many women out there who wished to get laid by him. Nevertheless, the lack of love, the lack of faith from someone important was missing. He needed someone like Kelly had her boyfriend in her life.

“You are getting me wrong dude. I swear I don’t want to do anything wrong. I just want to become a part of her life— for some fun.” He burst into laughter with evil gaze which did not went unnoticed by his friend Peter.

Peter negatively shook his head as he thought about the evil plan that his friend disclosed to him. “Oh buddy, your fun will destroy three lives. I just hope you don’t end up hurting her. From what you narrated about her life, I feel like she is in severe enigma.” he light whispered.

Kelly Ho’s house,

Kelly was lying on her stomach, on the mattress, that was placed on the floor. She had a journal in her hands Thad she dated and wrote,

May 18,

I cried badly today. Firstly, I could not get the job. The CEO was a cunning man. I had almost got the job but his questions towards the end blocked my thoughts. I could not think. And I cried badly. The job was important. I could earn a lot of money from it.

But it was not in my fate I guess.

And that is okay. It was hurting that I missed the opportunity but I stabilized myself later. That was not the last job of my life. I will start tomorrow again, with new motivation.

Secondly, I cried because of Eric Mo for he disappeared suddenly. And when he returned, I smelled ladies’ perfume on his clothes. And for a moment I felt like, like he was with another woman beside me. And the exhaustion of his face, it almost had me sad that he cheated on me. But I am happy, it was not how I ȧssumed it to be.

I am grateful that I have Eric Mo. He is the best thing that has happened to me. And I feel awful of myself that I doubted him. I know he loves me more than my family, he would never do such a thing. He loves me unconditionally. I should not suspect him ever. I so love him. Thank you so much God that you gifted me Eric Mo in my life. Otherwise, I don’t know how would I have survived without his support.

**

Kelly Ho ended it with a heart followed by her name and signature and closed the journal.

She sat up straight with crossed legs and put the journal in her small shelf before she closed her eyes and thought of all the good things that happened to her today.

Kelly sighed as there were bȧrėly two good things that happened to her. One was that when Casey Ho greeted Eric Mo without any grudges and second was when she rode on bike with Eric Mo despite his busy schedule. She was going through all the happening of the day when a light tug landed on her shoulder. When she open her eyes, “Hi” She found Casey taking a seat next to her on the floor on the thin mattress with a smile.

Tbc…
