Chapter 113: Not Over Yet (2)
Commander Fred stood on the open corridor, observing Caleb and the duchess sharing a moment. A smile graced his hardened features, knowing things were on the right path.
’I never thought she would fall this hard.’ The commander pondered. ’Even a strong woman like her wants someone to lean on. I’m glad Caleb is the one.’
This all began as a way to get Caleb on the duchess’ side, but it quickly turned into something even he didn’t see coming. He might not know much about Caleb, but his gut told him Caleb was alright.
The commander looked to his right, where Jess stood with a deep frown, exuding an aura capable of sending shivers down a man’s spine.
"I’m not sure why you look so pissed, Jess." Fred said as he shook his head. "Aren’t you already his lover?"
"..."
The catwoman said nothing, apparently not hearing the commander while her gaze stayed locked on the Duchess and Caleb. When she saw Caleb kiss the duchess, Jess couldn’t help but clench her fist in annoyance.
’I should have been bolder.’ She thought. ’It won’t happen again.’ The sight was the push she needed to know what she wanted.
She wasn’t going to play around anymore. If Caleb doesn’t make a move, she will be the first to initiate intimacy. The catwoman had no clue about relationship matters, but she knew what she wanted.
"The duchess may be the first to kiss him, but it won’t be the same for the real deal." Jess finally replied, taking the commander aback.
"O-okay..." The commander couldn’t help but step back a little. He had no intention of getting between whatever was bound to happen. "It’s your life, woman."
