Chapter 305 James is Injured (1)
James didn't chew her out, which just made Pearl even bolder.
Olivia couldn't help but sympathize with Jessica, sighing silently, 'Men's emotions are like the weather, here one moment, gone the next.'
In just a few days, James had already moved on from Jessica. And now he was even flirting with Pearl!
After hanging up with Olivia, Jessica got back to her grind.
Even the night shift teacher couldn't help but gripe, "How can Cynthia dump so much work on an intern like you? She sure knows how to kick back, remote-controlling everything without lifting a finger. It's a shame you're stuck working past ten o'clock."
Jessica felt grateful to the teacher and expressed, "It's cool. As long as I'm gaining knowledge, it's worth it."
"Learn what? This stuff's got no real skill to it. Even someone not studying medicine would get the hang of it after doing it every day," the teacher grumbled.
She then smiled and said, "But Professor Howard will be back next week. You'll learn a lot more from him! But with his status, he might not want to take on an intern."
Jessica thought of Nathan's kind demeanor. When Rose framed her, it was Nathan who had her back.
With his sense of justice and patience, he'd definitely be a great mentor.
In the villa, James locked himself in the study to work late, and Pearl didn't dare to bug him.
She chilled in the big bathtub, thinking about how Jessica was probably getting a hard time from that female teacher at work. The thought made her feel pretty smug.
After her bath, she was surprised to find James back in the bedroom.
She called out, "Mr. Kelly."
Dressed in a black silk nightgown, she asked playfully, "When did you come in?"
James looked at her coldly, silent for a long time.
Pearl thought James was into her. She deliberately glanced at her exposed neckline and said seductively, "If I could serve you just once, I'd have no regrets in this life."
James finally spoke coldly, "Who allowed you to use this bathroom?"
Pearl was stunned, her face turning red with embarrassment. She whispered, "The guest room bathroom doesn't have a bathtub. I wanted to take a bath."
James suddenly grabbed her and threw her into the bathroom. Pointing at the bathtub, he ordered, "Use disinfectant and clean it thoroughly!"
Pearl was utterly humiliated by his words.
She wasn't dirty, nor did she have any disease.
Why did he treat her like she was some kind of virus?
It was super late, and Jessica still hadn't come back. James was both worried and pissed.
He ended up taking all his anger out on Pearl.
"What are you staring at? Clean it now, I'm watching you!" he shouted angrily.
At his shout, Pearl shivered and quickly went to find a brush and disinfectant.
Following his orders, she scrubbed it three times and then once more with a scented cleaner before it was considered done.
Exhausted and sweaty, she bit her lip and said, "Mr. Kelly, is this okay?"
James sternly instructed, "From now on, apart from sleeping here, don't touch anything. Got it?"
"I got it," Pearl answered reluctantly, nearly consumed by her jealousy and hatred for Jessica.
