Chapter 845: Intimate As We Believed
As many politicians poured in, Jessica was almost separated from James if James didn't hold her head tight.
Soon, people started to discuss:
"I guess she is James's cute girlfriend. She is really beautiful."
"It is no wonder that James had never published before. If I have such a beautiful girlfriend, I must keep it secret."
"Mr. Moore and this lady are a perfect match. A match made in heaven."
"They are an intimate couple. I envied."
It seemed that these politicians were gossiping, but it was flattery. Jessica wanted to get away from James from time to time, but James always held her hand tight.
Hearing what the politicians said, James felt happy. And accordingly, the politicians started to exaggerate.
Jessica was impatient and urged coldly, "Hurry up. Or let me go first."
When the politician heard that, they took a deep breath and thought, "We just said they are a perfect match, but they are not as intimate as we believed."
James raised his eyebrows and whispered to Jessica, "You go upstairs first, ok? I will be there later."
Then a bodyguard took Jessica to a private dining room on the second floor.
As soon as the door opened, Jessica smelled cigarette smoke and alcohol and frowned. She then dissipated the smoke and saw a bald man drinking, who was sitting on a sofa next to Caitan.
When people in the private dining room found Jessica was here, the atmosphere became weird.
All the people were waiting for something.
Although Jessica was in a good state of mind, she felt a little embarrassed and anxious in such a situation.
Since the men in the private dining room didn't know it was James who took Jessica here, they started to take up the chant and whistled.
Jessica forced herself to calm down and ignored the men. Then, she lowered her head and walked before Caitan, "Caitan Clifford, don't drink more. I will ask someone to send you back home."
"I don't want to go home. I want to drink more."
"Don't drink more. You already got drunk."
"Leave me alone. You asked him to take me out, but why do you come here to find me now?"
Jessica knew the man that Caitan mentioned was James Moore.
Jessica wanted to pull Caitan up, so she reached out and held her arms. However, Caitan refused and pushed Jessica away.
"Leave me alone," Caitan said.
"Miss. Clifford. Your younger sister had asked you to leave her alone. Don't worry. I will take care of her."
Jessica heard that and turned to look at the corner.
To Jessica's surprise, Erin was there, but she didn't see Erin before because she was too hurried.
Jessica recalled that Avery told her to be careful with Erin, so when Jessica heard Erin's words, she became more worried.
But the problem was that Caitan didn't want to go with Jessica. At that time, a waiter was coming into the room and said, "Miss. Clifford. Mr. Moore asks you to see him."
Jessica immediately answered, "You take this lady to the lounge room first."
The waiter nodded slightly and said, "Another waiter will take her to the lounge room."
Jessica didn't know why the waiter wouldn't do it by himself and thought, "Probably, the waiter wants to show me the way."
Soon, Jessica went downstairs with the waiter without hesitation.
Many people were in the hall, but James was not there.
So, Jessica asked the waiter, "Where is Mr. Moore?"
"He let you follow me."
Jessica was confused. She didn't know where she was going but still followed.
The waiter led the way. They passed by a pebble road and a garden with a fountain
And then they continued to walk along the road with street lights on both sides.
Jessica was a little scared.
"If the waiter wants to hurt me, I can do nothing," thought Jessica.
Soon, Jessica unconsciously walked slowly and asked, "Where are we going?"
"Mr. Moore said that he wanted to give you a surprise, so we need to find a more private place," the waiter answered.
Hearing the waiter's words, Jessica felt at ease.
The waiter walked to the door of the fence and made a gesture, "Miss. Clifford, please."
"Get into?" Jessica asked. She regretted coming here and started to worry. "It is completely dark. Would it be dangerous? James knows that I am afraid of ghosts. Did he mean to tease me? It is not a surprise," thought Jessica.
"Miss. Clifford?" Since Jessica didn't move, the waiter urged.
Jessica had been in a trance and walked forward unconsciously.
This place was like a small forest. There was lush foliage, lakes, bird sounds, and the sound of the beast's steps.
Hearing the sounds, Jessica felt so scared that her hands sweating heavily.
According to the sound, Jessica looked over.
"Oh my god. It is a lion! There is a bark. No, it is not a lion, but it is Tibetan Mastiff," thought Jessica.
Jessica was frightened, and her face turned blue. When she turned around and ran towards the door, she found the door was closed, and the waiter was gone.
"Oh my god. This is a trap," thought Jessica.
Jessica leaned against the iron door. An adult Tibetan Mastiff with brown-red hair stood in front of Jessica. When Jessica saw its sharp teeth, it seemed that she could even hear the crisp sound made when Tibetan Mastiff gritted its teeth.
Thinking of that, Jessica became more frightened.
Jessica was terrified as if her heart would jump out of her mouth.
Jessica kept moving to the right side along the wall to avoid Tibetan Mastiff.
However, Tibetan Mastiff didn't want to give up.
Jessica was anxious. When she raised her head, she found Tibetan Mastiff was so close and still within reach. Probably, Tibetan Mastiff could tear Jessica to shreds.
Jessica breathed fresh air greedily as if it were the last time to take a breath.
Jessica was going to do something about it. She looked around but finding there was no place to hide except the forest.
As Jessica saw a big tree, she ran to it without hesitation, held the trunk tight, and climbed up all of a sudden.
At that time, the Tibetan Mastiff opened its mouth wider with blood walking toward Jessica.
At first, the Tibetan Mastiff barked from time to time. Then, the Tibetan Mastiff stood up, opened its mouth wider, and jumped toward Jessica.
The Tibetan Mastiff got close to Jessica, and she could even feel its warm breath.
The Tibetan Mastiff almost bit her butt, which made her frightened and nearly fell from the tree.
As the daughter of the Cliffords, Jessica grew up in a wealthy family. Everyone loved and respected her. She was nurtured as an elegant lady, so she didn't get used to climbing the tree.
Jessica's heart beats faster. She was anxious and straightened her body.
Jessica had to be attentive and careful. Otherwise, the Tibetan Mastiff must eat her up.
