Sold? Oh Please.

"Hey wanna go grab a coffee?" Paul asked, pushing himself up from the wall he was leaning on. Yes, he was waiting for her, what could he do? She had been in his hospital for how long? And the only time he got to spend with her was when they had to go to Jessie, it was either she was too busy. Worse she left him to go spend time with that doctor once! He didn't know why he felt so angry the entire day, unable to come up with a plausible explanation why, he surmounted it as him not trusting Katherine with Devon Geum.

Katherine was shocked, her face suddenly reddened and she took certain steps backwards, placing a hand over her chest to calm her heart.

"What are you doing lounging at my door like a cat? Aren't you supposed to be busy?" She asked shaking her head.

He pursed his lips as he shrugged cutely, causing Katherine to curse internally. "It's my break." He said.

"Yes... but the hospital is undergoing a merger, shouldn't you give up one things like breaks?" She asked matter of factly. 

"Ah, you speak like you don't know me, how could I let go of an opportunity to drink coffee with a pretty lady?" He asked with a seductive wink, almost sending Katherine to heaven.

A wink? He never did such things with her! Yes he was a playboy by the finest definition, it was something that was like second nature, he always held an air of propriety with her. Almost sure he didn't notice it but she did. How wouldn't she? How long had she been waiting for him to look at her with interest? Like he did a woman he wanted to... well.

But he never did, and now? 'Please don't play with my fragile heart' she pleaded in her heart. She was only beginning to see a future with someone else she couldn't, shouldn't and most definitely did not want to go back to that heartbreak again.

So instead of faltering hopelessly as other women would she retorted. "Well then go find a pretty lady then, don't disturb me." 

Paul brows knitted in displeasure "but you're the prettiest of all..." he pouted, blinking at her. His intention was puppy dog eyes, instead it appeared incredibly unnerving to the other party.

"What the hell is wrong with you?!" She couldn't help but yell.

Sensing her rising irritation Paul stood up straight and frowned. "Are you also on your period?" He asked so bluntly, causing her ears to redden. 

But as she made move to whack him silly with the files in her grasp she paused, sighing in relief. Now that sounded more like him, annoying her to earth's end. 

"Not everything has to do with a period." She scowled at him.

Raising his hands in surrender. "Fine, fine. But you are coming with me. That is no longer an offer." He said grabbing the files from her hands he marched to her office.

Watching in a daze as he casually pushed her door open and dropped them, exiting he grabbed her arm and lead her to elevator. All the while wearing a foolish grin on his lips, the same kind he got when he made a score.

Again she was in a tumultuous position. 

Why was he smiling like that? Especially with her?

**************************************************

"How do you know it's on your way?" Jessie asked. "You don't even know where I'm going?" 

Jason nodded his head and rubbed his chin as he appeared to weigh her words. "I don't need to, everywhere that's not this manor is on my way."

Jessie wanted to pull her hair in frustration, did he have to have a word for every situation? "What does that even mean? Hey, aren't you supposed to be a very busy man?" She asked, widening the distance between both of them. It was such a battle to pry her self off of him, when he held her so close earlier.

No way she would just give in and let him cover up all her hard work with a few short strides.

"I am, but I learnt that you tend to give more of your time to things you love. You're much greater than a thing, don't you think?" He asked so casually she felt breathless. 

Oh yeah that was a sudden occurrence these days, she had begun to fell increasingly breathless and lightheaded, as he skin felt alive and her heart strings tugged, when he said he loved her. And goodness how often he said it.

Quickly composing her self she spoke up. "Well I don't need you breathing down my neck at every time." 

Jason could only smile at the opening she so carelessly delivered to him. Tilting his head his eyes glistened with mischief "really? You didn't seem to mind me doing that earlier." 

Too embarrassed by the wanton and uninhibited sounds he managed to pull from her lips she was unable to maintain eye contact with him. She looked away but did not blush, how embarrassing would that be? He did her one dirty so she only felt it was fair to give hers back. "Well you mustn't have been paying attention, I never liked anyone breathing down my neck. And yes.. I know, I've been in that position too many times to not know how annoying it is." She said casually but her eyes held intensity, and mild satisfaction when she saw his expression darken slightly. 

Men really did not like to hear about exes, 'strange creatures' she thought. And yet women were the jealous ones, how easy was it to pull a reaction from him with that.

"I didn't realise you made such sounds when you were displeased?" He retorted and quite fiercely but not so much that she hadn't realised his brilliant defence. 

She couldn't help the eye roll. "You don't believe me?" He asked.

She have him a blank look, "how so?" 

"I guess a demonstration is required." He eyed her dangerously and even a blind person would be able to see the intent in eyes. 

But as much as she felt excitement she stepped back and held her hand out to stop him. She couldn't be late.

"Don't even dare."
