Bye-Bye Jerk, Hello Mr. Right

Chapter 13

The amusement park was almost finished, and I didn’t want to bail at such a crucial time.

Around noon, while I was organizing my stuff, Demi came up to me with a weird look on her face. “Keira, are you on your period?”

I stared at her. “Why? Am I not allowed to?”

“No, no.” Demi shook her head frantically. “I mean, Mr. Johnston’s been in a terrible mood today. Guess he’s just sexually frustrated.”

I paused, then realized what she meant.

I tapped her head with my pen. “Focus on your work during work hours and stop with the

nonsense.”

Demi giggled and handed me the report we reviewed at the site yesterday. “I’m not just making this up. Everyone’s scared of Mr. Johnston today. Anyone

I remembered Jace angrily throwing the roses in the trash this morning. I couldn’t tell if he was in a bad mood because I didn’t let him off the hook like I u

“Did you guys have a fight?” Demi pried.

Snapping back to reality, I shot her a look. “Get back to work, or you’ll be the next one looking miserable.”

After shooing Demi away, I sat there for a moment, lost in thought, then got back to organizing my work. I reviewed and edited Demi’s report and sent it t

He didn’t reply, and I didn’t follow up.

Around three in the afternoon, I went to the break room to grab some water and ran into Jace. His expression was as dark as Demi had described, and i

He ignored me and walked away.

I didn’t dwell on it. Back in my office, my phone rang with an unfamiliar number. “Hello?”

“Keira, it’s me,” Tanya’s voice came through the line.

J wondered why she was calling me. Before I could ask, she said, ‘I’m at the café downstairs

from your office. Can we meet?”

‘Didn’t we just meet last night?‘ I thought, so I declined. “I’m at work. If you have something to

say, say it now.”

“Then I’ll wait until you get off.”

I underestimated her stubbornness. But I knew this was just a tactic to force me to meet her. I didn’t indulge her. “Fine, wait all you want.”

True to my word, I continued working. It wasn’t until everyone had left for the day that I headed to the café, surprised to find Tanya still there.

I walked over but soon heard familiar footsteps behind me. Jace strode past me, heading straight to Tanya.

“Jace!” Tanya called out, looking both excited and flustered.

“What are you doing here?” Jace’s face remained stern.

I had no choice but to keep walking. “She came to see me.”

Jace’s expression grew colder. Tanya quickly explained, “Jace, don’t get the wrong idea. I came to explain things to Keira about yesterday. I don’t want you two to have any misunderstandings because of me.

I smirked. ‘This bitch certainly knows how to play her cards. She deliberately ruined my with Jace last night, and now she’s playing the peacemaker.”

“Our issues are none of your concern. If you really don’t want to cause problems between us, stay home and stop running around!” Jace scolded Tanya,
