My boss is my ex-lover (completed) - Chapter 44:Payback time!
That night, Jian didn’t forget to call his sister to thank her for finding Nana.
“So, how did it go?” Carrie asked.
“Everything went well, thanks to you!” Jian replied.
“What do you mean everything went well? Does the two of you are friends again, or am I having a future sister in law and nieces and nephews?”
Jian smiled. Carrie is really his sister!
“Hey, answer me!” Carrie demanded to Jian.
“All I can say is that, she’s officially mine now!” Jian said proudly!
“Aaahhh!” Carrie can’t help but to shout due to excitement!
On the other room, Mrs. Hong suddenly awakens!
She instantly jump off from her bed and run to Carrie’s bedroom to check for her daughter!
She was startled by her shout and she thought that there are criminals who sneaked
inside their house!
When she reached Carrie’s room, Mrs. Hong didn’t bother to knock on the door.
She just pushed it and call Carrie!
“Carrie?! What happened?!” She asked while panting!
———
Carrie is currently sitting in the middle of her bed with the phone on her ears.
She tilted her head and looked at her panting “Mom?!”
“Where are the criminals?” Mrs. Hong asked again.
‘Criminals?’ Carrie thought.
“Mom, There’s no criminal alright? You’re over reacting!” Carrie replied to her mom.
“Why did you shout then?” Mrs. Hong asked.
“Duh?!, Mom, I was just excited!”
“Excited?!, Do you have to shout like that?! Carrie! I was startled when I heard you shouted and I am nervous!” Mrs. Hong felt annoyed.
“Mom, calm down alright?!” Carrie said.” Anyways, I have a good news to you!”
“What is it?” Mrs. Hong asked as she walked to Carrie’s bed.
“Brother is finally in a relationship after two years of being single!” Carrie said excitedly.
“Oh!”
“Guess with whom!” Carrie said.
“Whom?!”
“With sister Nana!” Natalie replied.
Mrs. Hong’s mind went blank. She thought she misheard Carrie.
“Sister Nana!” Carrie replied again.
“Nana?!” Mrs. Hong struggled to process Carrie’s word.
“Yes! With sister Nana!”
Now, Mrs. Hong finally confirmed that she heard it right!
“What?!” She asked with her eyes wide opened.
“Tsss…” Carrie scoffed. ” Mom, You’re reaction is late!” She said.
“B-but… How they…Oh no! This can’t be! The two of them are living in the same house! It won’t look good to other people’s eyes to see them living in the same roof while in a relationship!” Mrs. Hong panicked.
Carrie rolled her eyes, ” Mom, You’re outdated!”
Mrs. Hong knitted her brows. “What outdated are you talking about?!”
“Duh?! Nana has already move out from brother’s house one month ago!” Carrie replied.
“Oh! I didn’t know it!” Mrs. Hong said in a calm voice.
‘Yeah right! That’s why I said that you are outdated!’ Carrie thought

The next day…
Just like Natalie said, Jian really caught a cold the night when he jump off to the water.
And now, Natalie went to his place to take good care of him.
She helped him eat his medicine and she cooked porridge for him, it doesn’t taste good tho, but at least, Jian still ate the porridge .
Natalie washes the plates in the kitchen while Jian is lying on the sofa on the living room.
The door bell suddenly ring.
“Let me open it.” Jian said to Natalie
“Are you gonna be alright?” Natalie asked doubtfully.
“Yes! I have the best nurse, so I feel better now.” He replied.
Natalie smiled and she continued to wash the last utensil on the sink before she arrange it and followed Jian to the front door.
Jian opened the door and he was surprised to see the person outside his door.
“Victoria?!” He blurted out with his brows knitted.
“Hi!” Victoria replied with a smile on her face.
“What are you doing here?!” He asked coldly.
Victoria froze when she notice Jian’s coldness towards her.
“Uhm…” Victoria gulped. “I… I heard that you were sick, so…I… I brought this fruits for you and also I want to take good care of you—”
“There’s no need!”
Victoria went blank when she heard the familiar voice from behind Jian.
She quickly look up and saw the little girl whom she thought she had already get rid off!
“You?!” Victoria is obviously surprised!
Natalie raised her chin and said. “Yes! It’s me!”
“What the he’ll are you doing here ?!” Victoria asked with her raised voice.
“Why?! Am I forbidden to go to my BOYFRIEND’s house?!” Natalie replied sarcastically.
She purposely emphasized the word ‘boyfriend ‘ to make Victoria realized the reality!
Victoria was stunned again!
“W-What?!” It’s the only word that came out from her mouth.
“I said am I forbidden to go to my BOYFRIEND’s house?” Natalie repeated her word.
“What boyfriend?!” Victoria knitted her brows.
“Oh!” Natalie covered her mouth as if she was surprised! “Babe, did you not told her?!” Natalie looked up to Jian and acted sweet.
She put her arms around his waist and leaned her head on his chest.
Jian let Natalie deal with Victoria, and if ever she needs him to back her up, he is willing to do it!
Just like now!
He looked down to her, he put his arms around her shoulders and smiled, “Oh! I’m sorry, I was busy thinking of you and I don’t have the time to think of the ‘UNIMPORTANT PEOPLE!’” Jian said to Natalie as if she’s the only one that he have seen!
“Oh! You’re so sweet babe!” Natalie said sweetly.
Jian kissed Natalie on her lips and then he smiled, “Of course!”
Victoria is still in denial!
She can’t accept that she was defeated by Nana!
“No! The two of you are just pretending just to make me jealous!” She said as she smashed the basket of fruits on the ground.
