Chapter 239 - Hermes transportations
"Jean…..please" David looked at her with helpless expression. It is enough for Jean to melt into puddle of b.u.t.ter.....her brother is asking for her help for the first time ever.
But she is a businesswoman who always respect the boundary that separates both of her personal and professional life. It is not something she can decide in blink of a eye, her company should not face any problems because of her selfish actions.
However when she thinks about how David had supported and helped her, she still owe him a lot and this is the only chance to redeem it. He have always stood with her through thick and thin, she should do the same right... it is what for family exists...to always stick with each other.
"Bro, I know you are desperate to save your company and I can understand that. Give me some time to think about the other alternative ways. I should also think about my company" Jean pursed her lips. She has to make sure that she don"t get trapped in Edward"s plans just like her brother here..
"Sister I am so sorry, I am being selfish though I know you despise "Hermes". Believe me I will be the last person to think of hurting you. I really don"t have any other option….." David held his head in his hands and looked at her with unexplainable melancholy.
He is struggling a lot internally and no one can antic.i.p.ate how much he is fighting against his will power to ask this.
How can he take advantage of his selfless relations.h.i.+p with his only sister...
"I know and I do understand. The problem I have with Hermes is that I don"t like their tricky strategies. Moreover I think he is not sincere with his approach. I should think…brother. But remember that your sister will always be with you, forever us"
Jean disembarked from his car as they reached her house. Scott is already waiting for them at doorway while the house staff quietly escorted their luggage into the car
By looking at their faces, he ascertained that something was wrong. He could see that Jean is struggling to think straight about something, she might be fighting whether to follow her ruthless business self or her normal self which immensely think about her family.
His lips twitched as he held Jean"s hand which is unusually cold. She is thinking about something a little bit more than she always does, but she isn"t worried about Edward Wright and his cunning schemes.
She can manipulate him and help David to end his deal before terminating her own contract with Hermes. The problem is that it will take a while. On the other hand, Scott hate that guy and he could barely control himself from bursting out with anger whenever they happen to meet by "chance".
"Hmm.. We should be going, it is already late" Scott skimmed his lips on her neck and bit it gently without taking any consideration of the persons gaping at them.
"I will be back in a jiffy. Should change my dress and disguise my appearance" she kissed Scott on his cheek and sprinted into her house.
Neither of the best friends spoke with each other. Scott is busy in rechecking Jean"s medicines and her other essentials. Mean while David stared at his over caring friend and wondered if Scott would allow Jean to take decision favoring to him. But he will leave it to the couple to discuss among themselves.
"Let"s go" Jean jumped into his arms surprising Scott with her sudden change in behavior. Not too long back she is worried about something but right now she seemed like she has already took her decision.
"You smell like heaven" Scott gently ma.s.saged her cheek and deposited her on pa.s.senger seat of his car before turning back to look at David who is smiling at them, but his happiness for them didn"t reach his eyes like it always does. He is occupied with some other matters....
"Take care Dave, we will be back in two days." Scott hugged his friend and patted his shoulder before whispering into his ears.
"Something is bothering you my friend. Let"s talk about it after I come back. We will surely help you no matter what it is or how tough it is" then he opened the door of driver seat and scooped inside.
David laughed at himself. He knew his friends, they will never abound him nor neglect him in thin times. It is because they are his family, a real family whom he placed in top than his own flesh and blood.
His family is no less complicated than Grey"s and he never wanted to ask their help nor take Daisy to introduce her to them. But she insisted for a beautiful and big family like her own family. Now he have more than one problem to face...
He leaned down and kissed his sisters forehead. "Don"t think much about it baby sis, we will try to find other way. I will not force you into something that might cause you a trouble. Take care" he whispered in her ears and gently closed the door before waving them a goodbye.
Scott drove to the private run way of the Summers Enterprises, though his eyes are sticked to the road he occasionally glanced at Jean who is sleeping peacefully leaning against window.
Her migraine has been little better than before due to the special doting of Scott and her brothers. But it is not yet cured completely nor stopped bothering her. The nightmares, occasion blackouts are no better compared to before.
"What"s wrong with David" Scott caressed her hair lovingly. After the air hostess informed them that it is safe to roam freely they moved into the private cabin, Scott completed some of his office work and noticed that Jean is researching about foreign policies of Country S.
INA has a strict norms to follow, so it would never be effected by any changes in policies of the country let alone to be bankrupted just because of decision of one company. So when he saw her reading attentively he figured it out that it is something related to David and his company.
Jean tilted her head upwards and looked at his flawless face, she pulled him closer to her and sealed his lips with hers. As she decided to help David she first have to pacify Scott and his overbearing nature.
"Hmmm.. You are acting different today. What"s wrong" Scott kissed her back with same pa.s.sion and sat beside her before enveloping her in his side hug.
"Not a big one though but it is a complicated issue. David"s company is going to face some problems" She sighed and looked into his eyes. Her gaze explained almost all her worries and words are never a essential form of communication for them.
"Which company" Scott asked.
"Hermes transportations" Jean chuckled bitterly.
All in sudden she felt a s.h.i.+ver as the temperature in the room decreased several degrees. His eyes darkened and turned cold like an iceberg with the mention of the company he despised the most, he clenched his fists and averted his gaze from Jean so she will not see his enraged emotions.
"b.a.s.t.a.r.d, rogue" Scott cursed under his breath darkly and gritted his teeth.
This is the first time ever Scott has cursed someone…mainly in front of Jean.
