Chapter 224 - Be the "real you"
Next day Jean woke up early in the morning. She just slept for three hours to study for her exams and also to prepare her thesis with Enric. They discussed for almost four hours and at last fixed a proper schedule. They will be working on the research during the time she goes to university to write her exams.
She completed most of her preparation for exams in her grandparents house. After she go back to Scott"s house, she knew he wouldn"t allow her to work hard nor sleep late. Moreover, she will be too distracted to do her work properly.
After her breakfast she got ready and went directly to Grey Corporations. Seline and Raymond aren"t in country yet, they would probably reach the city by afternoon. She missed Scott so much that her mind wandered around his thoughts and she couldn"t concentrate on anything.
But Adam is still in hospital with his wife so naturally it became Jean"s responsibility to attend the meeting and look after the company. Unexpectedly Vanessa suffered a mild heart stroke and is asked to stay in hospital for a week.
As expected Jean again rocked all the meetings, no one thought she could be this calculative and business minded. She even had the guts to oppose the share holders, her imposing and dominative demeanor is really overbearing just like her father. If she really becomes the CEO, they are hundred percent sure that company will again reach its previous tendencies.
Soon it is evening and Jean rushed to see her fiancée. No one knew how much she missed him and his warmth and manly scent. Scott is no different, he is waiting patiently for his beloved to come back. After handling that thick skinned woman, he missed his baby girl more than before.
As soon as she entered the house, she even didn"t care about the maids in the room and sprinted towards him. He reached for her and twirled her around before hugging her tightly. They kissed like there is no tomorrow and soon they are on couch acting wild and intense.
The house staff quietly retreated to their chambers and didn"t dare to come out again.
"I had a headache with Sianna again," Scott mumbled against her soft cheeks and skimmed his lips through her face.
"Hmm.. So, this is the thing you are hiding from me." Jean smiled and kissed his forehead while her fingers slowly entangled in his untamed hair.
"Don"t want to you worry though, but Sally told me not to hide it any more. I just don"t want you to get included in this mess Jean," he confessed. His twin sister is indeed true, there should be no secrets between them.
"Your grandparents prefer her as your wife. Don"t they?" Jean asked sadly. Scott who is grazing on her neck stopped and looked into her eyes. He cupped her cheeks tenderly and kissed her deeply.
Jean could feel the heat from his face, she closed her eyes instinctively and wrapped her arms around his neck. "Not anymore. They will soon become neutral," he kissed her nose and nibbled on her ear.
"Hmm.. I will not ask why but tell me what I have to do so they will favor me," Jean spoke softly with her eyes closed.
"Meet my grandmother before house warming ceremony. She is willing to meet you though she knew that you are Grey. Try to impress her genuinely." Scott s.h.i.+fted his position so Jean will be lying on him. She is still fragile to bear all his weight.
Jean opened her eyes and looked at him with shock. Scott chuckled and kissed her forehead. "Just be yourself, no need to act different just because you want to impress her." He rubbed his thumb on her lower lip. He simply couldn"t keep his hands off from touching her.
"But…what if she doesn"t like me?" Jean asked him worriedly.
Scott sat up and pulled Jean into his lap. "They will hate Sianna because she is not honest and sincere with them. So, be yourself and later we will leave it to her choice," Scott coaxed her and hugged her tightly giving her a.s.surance.
"I am still worried Scott." Jean became desperate to get their approval. She don"t want Scott to loose his grandparents because of her. If they don"t agree for the marriage she is sure he will ask her to elope, even though she is okay with it she knows the consequences well.
"My grandmother will definitely like you. I am sure because most of your personality is just like my grandfather. Your straight forwardness, your way of talking and rich voice while responding to others and many more. She loves her husband and you are more alike him so she will absolutely adore you." Scott smiled and teased her.
"Hmm.. What about your grandfather?" Jean asked and leaned into his embrace.
"He is tough nut to crack. Old man is really stubborn, but he will like you if you reveal the "real you"." Scott caressed her hair and planted a soothing kiss on her bare shoulder.
"Dad promised him that he will introduce CEO of INA at house warming ceremony. It will be brief and he may not ask about your personal life because he will be meeting you in party. Just be yourself."
"Then again, you will meet him at Nathan"s engagement. Elle told him that she will introduce her awesome doctor, grandfather really praised the doctor and is keenly interested in meeting the mysterious founder of Grace organizations. So credit will again goes to you," he smiled brightly.
"But, won"t it look like I am taking advantage of something which I started for selfless purpose." Jean shook her head, these are some of her many other works apart from her company and she is not at all willing to use it for her selfish purpose.
"It is inevitable Jean, he is too impressed by it, so you have to use all your resources. I am sorry." Scott knew that she is not happy to show off like this, but this is the only way and yet it is uncertain.
"When will you introduce me then?" Jean asked him.
"After Seline"s engagement. By then you will get enough time to impress him. Though he might not accept you instantly but he will eventually, he don"t have another choice. We are already married according to the law of country, we will move on if they don"t agree with you." Scott has everything planned. But he hoped it will not reach to that extent.
"Okk….I will try my level best. You will be there with me right, don"t leave me alone like before," Jean pleaded.
His heart melted at her cute face. He scooped her in his arms and carried her to their room.
