Chapter 8 Jealous

Stella

I was still stated on shocked when I entered our company. I'm just thankful because the photoshoot for the perfume and bag I'm endorsing will be held this afternoon.

The manager isn't here yet, maybe he'll wake up late again because he knows my photoshoot will be this afternoon. When I entered the office I just dropped myself on the sofa and leaned.

I closed my eyes tightly because to this day I still remember what Jaxon told me. This is the first time I haven't slept properly today.

"You're my present and future, Stella."

"My Gosh! Calm yourself. Maybe Jaxon will mean something else. Maybe you'll be his future friend, don't expect too much, Stella. You'll end up hurting."

I angrily said to myself and rolled around on the sofa. Luckily it was big and I will not fall even if I jump here.

Because it's Jaxon, it has a big effect on me to the point I will not properly function. He will say what he has to say.

But I just stopped what I was doing when I felt my cellphone vibrate. When I pulled it out of my pants pocket I could almost let it go because Jaxon turned out to be the reason it sounded.

To Jax:

Are you already in the office?

me:

Yes, how about you?

After I typed it, I just sent it to him. Less than a minute later it suddenly vibrated again.

To Jax:

Yes. I just arrived at the restaurant. I have a meeting here at noon so I'm getting up early. It's almost 12 but they are still not there. How about you? What time is your photoshoot?

When I read his text I couldn't help but smile. Fortunately, I was alone in the office. If the Manager sees me, he will make sure he teases me again.

Me:

I have a photoshoot today, it was 2 in the afternoon later. Alright, good luck later in the meeting you can do that. It's almost 12, you have to ready yourself first. Let's talk later. Goodbye, Jaxon. Take care.

I said goodbye to my message and my smile widened, even more, when he quickly replied. Jaxon seems to be used to reply, so is quick to type and reply.

To Jax:

Thank you, Wife. Did you eat already? Don't starve yourself. Good luck with your photoshoot. See you later. Take care too.

After I read this I couldn't help but hug the pillow and here I released my unknown feelings. This is how the thrill feels. It's like there's a butterfly in your stomach and it's like you're floating in the sky.

In short, you look like you're going crazy.

"My favorite model is like having the best day of her life. Is your husband the reason? Has he become into you forever, Stella?"

I woke up immediately from lying down when I heard my Manager's voice. He was teasing me so I couldn't help but grin.

"Manager, where did your flower come from? Is someone flirting with you?" I changed the subject and he was the one I teased so he hit me with a pillow and sat next to me. I was even surprised when he handed me the flower he was holding.

"For me? Who gave it?" I curiously asked so he just pointed to the card stuck to it so I read it.

"Let's meet at Braham Restaurant. I miss you and I'll pay for the food. Noon sharp.

Your handsome cousin,

D

"So he's back. It's good he showed up for me." I will be able to speak when I read his letter. So I heard the Manager laugh.

"There are bodyguards outside to pick you up. We're just across the restaurant. Your cousin is too overprotective, Stella."

He laughed at what he said so I could do nothing but get up and leave.

He still doesn't want to be late, especially since there are still important things to talk about. When I have a photoshoot later, he shows up and talks to me.

What can the two of us talk about?

"Manager, after we talk I'll be right back here. I have a photo shoot at two o'clock." I said goodbye and I was about to leave when he spoke again.

"Move your photoshoot to five o'clock, Stella. So it's okay for you to take a long time. It's time for yourself." He said so I couldn't help but run to him and hug him tightly.

"Love you, Manager. You are the best!"

"Stop hugging me, it's disgusting! Just leave, Stella. It's 12. Be careful." He reminded me so I just nodded. When I came down from our company, I was immediately greeted by five bodyguards who were waiting for me.

"This way, Ms. Stella." One said and the five of them surrounded me before finally crossing the restaurant. I'm just secretly irritated because I'm distracted.

Others are even actually taking pictures. Others are talking about me even though we haven't been inside the restaurant yet.

A bodyguard opened the door and showed me where my cousin was. It is on the second floor, fortunately, this restaurant is highly secured.

"Lord Devron is on the second floor, Ms. Stella."

So I just nodded and felt the two bodyguards following me. I wanted to stop following me but Devron ordered them so I didn't do anything.

When we finally got to the second floor I was stunned at who came up to me first.

Jaxon talking to a woman and a man. When he saw me he frowned so that his companion stopped talking and turned to me.

Because of the scene, the others stopped eating and I could already hear them talking. Jaxon's companion, on the other hand, stunned me.

"She's Cassiopeia, right? One of the most beautiful and highly paid models in our country?"

"Are they dating? The handsome billionaire and one of the most beautiful models are dating?"

"Maybe they didn't expect to see each other here, it's just a coincidence that they'll meet here."

Despite the whispers I hear is that Jaxon is still my attention and so is he.

His eyes ask why I am here. I also didn't know that this was the restaurant he was talking about.

What a coincidence. When I'm being careful to not see each other in public but here we are, facing each other with unexpected emotion in our eyes. Others thought we would meet, they didn't know we were married.

"Cassiopeia!" I just looked at the person who shouted. And there they are viewed because Jaxon is still next to our table.

Devron waves at me and there is a smile on his face because we have met again. So I could do nothing but greet him with a hug when I went to our table.

"Belated happy birthday to the most beautiful model in our family. Sorry if I just showed you today. I was busy doing something important." He apologize so I took the flower he was holding and kissed him on the cheek.

"Thank you, Dev. Where's Iris? I miss her too. She hasn't shown up since she was released from the hospital." I was sulking so he just laughed and hugged me again.

"I miss you, Cas. Iris is gone now. Guard are everywhere in their house and it's irritating me. She's pregnant with their second child." He heard so much when I left and looked at him in disbelief.

"Really ?! That's good to hear. Chase already has a playmate," I replied and he pulled me out of the chair. I could feel the edge of Jaxon's gaze on the two of us and Devron.

"Chase is very happy because he already has a brother. Sebastian is overreacting, I'm just going to come to their house to visit Iris but he is already angry at me. Thank goodness I'm handsome but I'll handle that too." He windy said so I just laughed and shook my head in disbelief.

Sometimes Devron you don't know the course of the brain. He's raising his bank. Yes, he's handsome but he's spreading more.

"Your husband is here. He looks so mad at me. Don't tell me he doesn't know me as your cousin?" Devron whispered so I stopped eating and stared at Jaxon for a moment.

And he was right. If Jaxon's stare was deadly, my cousin might have been a cold corpse right now. So I just smiled and nodded.

"Yeah. I haven't told you yet. I've been so busy these past few days that I haven't been able to tell him." I admit that's why he glared at me, causing my lips to part.

"Why is it my fault I didn't tell you to my husband, Devron?" I could barely speak so he brought his face close to mine again and whispered.

"At first Sebastian was jealous of me because Iris and I were always together. Then now, it's you. Your husband is jealous. Damn, am I that handsome for your husband to be jealous of?"

"We don't look like you so they're jealous," I joked so he laughed and I was just surprised that he become serious.

"That's why I met you because I want to say hello to your husband. Is that Jaxon sensible? Is he hurting you? I know he's also one of the famous businessmen, Stella so I'm worried he might be doing something that's not in your favor. " He said so I drank water first because my throat was dry.

To this day I can still feel Jaxon's gaze on the two of us and Devron. I wiped my mouth and answered his question.

"He's a good man, Dev so doesn't worry about me anymore. He's respecting me. And he doesn't hurt me. He hasn't done anything bad to me since I married him." I'm telling the truth so he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Of course, I'm just a male cousin of yours. I have three female cousins ​​and my sister. As the oldest of the four of us, I still need to protect you even if you already have a husband." He said smiling so I couldn't help but approach him and hug him.

"You're such a sweet man, Devron. Now I know why our husbands are jealous of you."

"Is it because I'm so handsome?" He asked with a smile so I quickly shook so he frowned.

"No, because you're sweet to us. It's good that Yngrid isn't jealous?" I joked and went back to the chair again. I could hear Jaxon's loud stand so we couldn't help but look at him.

"I have to go to the restroom." I listened to what he said and when he looked at us his eyes were so cold that they made me shiver and bit my lip so hard.

I think he's mad at me.

"Looks like it's full, ah. It's time again." Devron heard so I looked at him and I felt the vibration of my cellphone.

"All right, look at that first. It looks important." So I could do nothing but read Jaxon's text to me.

To Jax:

To the rooftop. Now.

I nervously put down my cellphone and stared at Devron who was now watching my movements. So I faked a smile and stood up.

"Just restroom." I lied so he just nodded in response. I was just thankful because at the back of the restroom was the staircase to the rooftop.

When I finally got to the rooftop, the cold breeze greeted me.

I could also clearly see Jaxon standing with his fist clenched. His hair is also being carried away by the force of the wind.

So I slowly approached him and carefully held his clenched hands.

"Hey," I greeted but he still had a sharp look at me and avoided me so I frowned.

What's wrong with Jaxon?

"Who's that man, Stella Cassiopeia Buenaventura?" I was surprised when he mentioned my full name.

This is the first time I see him mad.

The vein in his hand almost burst due to the excessive squeezing so I gently squeezed it and I saw him calm down.

"He's my cousin. Devron Heize Montecillo is one of my closest cousins. Is there a problem?" There was a hint of concern in my voice. Maybe later the two will fight.

When I looked at Jaxon there was a trace of shock in his eyes and he looked at me in disbelief. What is the problem with this one?

"He's your cousin?" He repeated so I nodded. And there he laughed and shook.

"Why Jaxon? Is there a problem with my cousin?"

"No, it's just... I'm jealous. I'm jealous of that cousin of yours, Stella."
