Chapter 240 - Is your throat is fine?
"b.a.s.t.a.r.d, rogue" Scott cursed darkly and gritted his teeth.
This is very rare for someone like Scott to curse someone…mainly in front of Jean.
Jean looked at him in amus.e.m.e.nt but she is not totally surprised with this att.i.tude of him, after all "Hermes" is the reason he is forced to reveal his ident.i.ty as CEO of Cyphers. Where as the other reason for his hatred was Edward Wright is somehow interested in working with Jean.
He might not be seeing Jean in "that" manner still he is mysteriously wanted to strengthen the connections between INA and Hermes. Though no one know the reason for it still Scott could feel that he somehow wanted to hurt Jean.
"What should we do now" Jean leaned on to him and wrapped her arms around his waist. Like a cute kitten she rubbed her face against his chest, after sensing that Scott loosened his stiffened muscles she gave a small yet pa.s.sionate peck on his lips. But his face is unexpectedly cold and emotionless
"Don"t be like this, I hate your frowning face" She complained like a spoiled child making him chuckle a little. Which made her little annoyed
"hmm…then why don"t you say me the whole story" Scott chuckled and kissed her for which Jean smacked hardly with her hand.
"Ouch…this hurts" Scott blew air on his hands playfully. Though he looked calm now his heart is burning with anger, he don"t want Jean to mingle especially with that company….thank G.o.d that Edward do not know the real relations.h.i.+p between Jean and him otherwise he would have bothered her even more.
"Good, just don"t over react for what I tell now. I know he is your worse nemesis but listen peacefully and think which would be safe to follow so David"s company won"t suffer" Jean rubbed his hand and kissed the red print that was caused by her fingers.
Jean took almost one hour to explain everything very elaborately. She can see that Scott is using all his will power not to show any ill feelings, but his heart is in turmoil now.
Edward is not a person he could ignore as a fly, just because of a little quarrel that happened while settling the contract terms he got greatly offended and exposed the relations.h.i.+p between Stephen Summers and Scott. During that time Cyphers and Summers Enterprises are known as opponents.
Due to the huge ruckus it caused Scott revealed that he is the CEO of Cyphers and also the heir of Summers Enterprises. If it isnt for that he and Jean would have happily roamed like a normal couple and would also have no any other complications.
Scott sighed tiredly after listening to all the pros and cons. Yes, it is true that they don"t have any other choice than to accept his arrangement but Scott is not willing to let Jean suffer because of that prideful Psycho.
"We will surely think of the other option" Scott pleaded but Jean has already decided what to do and no one can change her mind now.
"I will not let him control me and moreover Country S is not a important branch for INA. And he is not that powerful in country X which is my main base. However I will be the one to set the terms and conditions, don"t worry" Jean patted his cheek.
"Hmm…..I will believe in you, but be careful. He is not that easy to handle" Scott pecked her forehead and combed her hair with his slender fingers till she drifted into sleep.
By night they reached Country D, where her university as well as main hospital of Valdez"s is situated. This is where Scott"s parents had stayed till the last month. Scott gently escorted his Sleeping Beauty to one of his guest house.
After making sure she is comfortably sleeping he went to study room. He thought of asking help to the only person who could control Edward Wright but his ego didn"t let him to dial the number that is just one inch away from his finger.
But nothing was important to him more than Jean"s health and safety. So after a long fight between his heart and mind, his love on his woman at last made him to compromise his ego and pride.
At the second ring of the call the other person on the line accepted his request.
"I will be needing your....*cough*..he.*cough*.lp…..*cough*..Edward Wright is still into INA and I don"t want my wife to suffer because of him." Scott never wanted to use the word "help" especially in front of this man but he must ask it…..
"Hmm….Scott, last time I checked your throat is very fine. What happened now, I couldn"t listen anything at all" the other deep voice laughed sardonically.
Scott took deep breath and pacified his anger. After some brief seconds he closed his eyes. "I said I will be needing your help" Scott sighed and gritted his teeth.
"It is for Jean"s safety, It is for her…."He continuously chanted in his deep heart…..
"Oh, that"s good…at last someone compromised their pride for the woman he loved. Though you said you will never be needing my help in handling Edward Wright again, I can understand how much you love her and how important her safety is to you. At least for her I will help you, what is the plan" the other voice softened a little when he talked about Jean.
Scott explained all his plan and smiled cunningly. After discussing the plan he called David to set the meeting in the country D, which is neither favorable for INA nor Hermes. The person who decided to help him is the king of the business field in country D.
"The meeting should be in country D and it must happen day after tomorrow. Inform Mr. Wright that INA is interested to work with them as per the conditions he accepted in your meeting" Scott smirked menacingly and went back to cuddle with his woman as if didn"t interfere in her professional matters.
