Chapter 168: Never Met Someone Like Her Before

"I need to talk to him."

Mr. Ed stared blankly at Jordan who insisted he needed to see Arthur. The Princess’ room has been locked for more than a couple of hours and he didn’t want to disturb them in case they are "otherwise engaged".

"This is an important dinner Arthur promised to attend personally. I. Need. To. See. Him!" Jordan stood his ground.

"You. Cannot. Disturb. The. Princess!" Mr. Ed had his hill to die on.

Jordan who doesn’t like confrontations with people like this actual Knight, didn’t k ow what to do and in the end both of them ended up in a staring contest.

He tried to sneak in, but stood frozen seeing the weapon Mr. Ed had in his holster. He didn’t want to be shot like a criminal.

"You’re handsome too, in a way..."

Jordan was stunned hearing that voice and turned to see Rebecca standing near the refrigerator in her bunny onesie.

Isn’t this Talia’s friend? Why is she having the look of a lecher? What a weird friend Talia has!

"Are you really supermodel Vivi’s brother?" Rebecca questioned and walked towards Jordan with lazy strides dragging her feet as her indoor sandals made noise.

"You’re tall too..." Rebecca but her lips and stood on her tiptoes, and ruffled his hair. "You’re actually blonde and that too platinum blond?" She said after looking closely at his roots. She then leaned closer to his face, "And your eyes.... They look like the colour of horizon when looked from a beach..."

Mr. Ed took a couple of steps back seeing Rebecca getting all handsy with Jordan and Jordan stood frozen like he didn’t know what was happening around him. He went all numb.

" You are pretty handsome I should say... " Her fingers trailed through his sharp jawline and her hands ended up on his chest, "You workout too? Man! You’re so awesome for a secretary!" Her voice got to a higher note.

Jordan who was stunned to be touched brazenly by a woman - which has never happened before in his twenty eight years of life; sparing his sisters, only came to his senses when he heard the word ’Secretary’.

" I’m an Administrative Assistant. Not a secretary," he said pulling Rebecca’s wrist away from his chest. That diamond in her ring finger, reflected in his eyes as it caught light.

This married woman is acting brazen with me! What should I do? And she calls me secretary?

"Secretary, Assistant... It’s all the same..." Rebecca got her hand out of Jordan’s grip. Her curious hands found itself over his abdomen,this time and she had a sly smile as she could feel Jordan stiffening up.

Amusing guy!

"Whoa, Lady!" Jordan jumped back a step. "Where are you touching? Think about your husband!" he shouted.

Mr. Ed wanted to go to the aid of Jordan, but still his inner child wanted to see how far this conversation would go. This is too entertaining to be interrupted.

"Husband?" Rebecca chuckled gently but for Jordan she seemed like an evil spirit cackling evilly. "If I divorce my husband, will you go on a date with me? You can do..." Rebecca eyes him top to bottom, "Although you have only four packs," she blinked her eyes cutely and got closer to him.

"Ahh!" Jordan screamed at the top of his lungs covering his ears. "I’m being attacked by an evil spirit!"

"Evil spirit?" Rebecca saw the fear apparent in Jordan’s eyes and ended up laughing holding her stomach. She laughed enough that her eyes watered and even her face and stomach hurt.

" Arthur, you come out this instance!" Jordan didn’t mind that laughing woman and tried to walk to the bedroom door, but like an apparition, Mr. Ed appeared in front of Jordan making him scared.

"You will not disturb the Princess!" Mr. Ed with the same poker face spoke and clenched his jaw to hold back his laughter. He had never met a man who cannot handle a little teasing from a woman before.

What a weird boy!

Jordan stood face to face with Mr. Ed looking for an opening to get to Arthur and in the end both of them ended up in a staring contest.

Rebecca slowly shifted near Jordan and she couldn’t help but chuckle seeing Jordan turning stiff and red upon her arrival. She pouted her lips as she decided to tease him more by blowing on his ear, but before she could act, the door behind Mr. Ed unlocked.

Out came Arthur, with his wrinkled shirt and messy hair. "Cyrus, you dog! Why make this big a ruckus? I was just sleeping with your Princess Talia. I was not raping her violently... She won’t let me even if I want to. Shameless hound! Trying to peep into people’s bedrooms... He can’t even let people sleep... " he mumbled as he carefully closed the door. "Shh!" he pouted and placed his forefinger over his lips, "She’s sleeping. Do not disturb."

He turned and the three flabbergasted people saw Arthur rubbing his eyes that still seemed groggy and soon his expression turned pale.

Arthur was really flabbergasted. He didn’t know why he dreamed of their life back in high school and it felt so real. As he was awoken by the commotion outside, it reminded him of Cyrus too. Cyrus used these underhanded means in the past to make sure he doesn’t do anything he deemed "untoward" with ’His Princess’. That Cyrus was a scum!

Arthur who dreamt of the past, walked out of the room and spoke the first thing that came to his mind.

Ah, damn!

"Why are you here?" Arthur asked Jordan, swallowing his shame.

"Your meeting...?" Jordan was stunned still. Arthur actually talked to Cyrus this way and he left him alive after all that?

Cyrus actually gave his blessing for their relationship?

"Ah... Let’s go then," Arthur didn’t even look at Rebecca and Mr. Ed and left the room. First it was her grandfather and now it is her friend and he stupidly ran his mouth.

But then he decided just to run away just like that would only create misunderstandings. Sir Robert is the right hand man to that old lady and he needs that old lady’s permission to marry his Iris.

"Sir Robert, Rebecca, I will never hurt Talia. I wanted you to know that. I was speaking nonsense before because I was half asleep," Arthur said politely.

"So, you’ll do irrational things if you’re half-asleep?" Rebecca asked with her chin raised. "How can we trust her with you then?"

"I only need her trust. As for others, I can only give my word," Arthur said without any disturbance in his eyes, with all honesty.

Seriously, he wanted to get the blessing of her family and friends, but that doesn’t mean he can convince them all. They have to accept Talia’s decision, if they love her, right?

" Understand. You’ll violently rape her only with her consent. But then it won’t be rape," Rebecca grinned ear to ear making Arthur go all red.

The words that came out of my mouth! I need to mind my words!

He closed the door once more and ended up banging his head in the wall. Jordan by his side, didn’t know what to say and followed his boss silently.

He for one was happy he escaped that brazen woman who speaks whatever comes to her mind without any reservation.

He has never met such a woman before. Well... Except maybe his eldest sister.

Talia didn’t k ew of the happenings outside but when she woke up for dinner was a bit disappointed to learn that Fred already left. She was surprised when Rebecca couldn’t stop talking about Jordan.

It seemed more like teasing, but Talia had a little doubt that maybe she was interested in Jordan. But then, she knew Rebecca wouldn’t have moved on from Joe this soon. She is not such a person.

She just decided to wait how everything spans out.
