Chapter 999 - It's You Who...

Drinking a little, Jake spoke, "I had a weird dream."

"Cough! D-Dream?" Noah asked nonchalantly.

Jake pressed his temples and spoke, "But it felt real."

Noah understood Jake must be talking about the kiss but felt relieved that Jake thought it was a dream.

"Happens sometimes. One should not think about any weird dreams." Noah suggested.

Jake stopped drinking and looked at Noah, "When did you return last night?"

"I was a little late. When I returned, you were in a deep sleep," Noah answered.

"Where did you sleep?" Jake asked as he stared at Noah coldly.

Noah chuckled, "What do you mean where? I slept in my room."

Before Jake could ask anything further, Noah asked, "Why did you sleep here? Do you want to prove that I treat his highness as a lowly self and can't even provide him a room?"

"I didn't want to forget I had to leave this place soon," Jake replied as this is what exactly Noah said when Jake came here.

Getting sarcastic reply Jake, Noah said, "Seems like you are fine now. Go and get fresh. You reek of alcohol."

Jake glared at Noah for a moment, and Noah gulped as he asked, "What?"

"I'm starving. Get me something to eat," Jake replied and stood up to go inside the room.

"I'll order something for you," Noah informed.

"I don't eat alone," Jake said and went to the room.

Noah understood what Jake meant and didn't go to the office. Noah ordered food and waited for Jake to come out.

The food arrived in a while, and Noah arranged it on the dining table as he sat in one chair, waiting for Jake.

Wearing a dark blue shirt and light grey pants, Jake came out of the room, drying his hair, with a small towel. He threw the towel on the sofa and walked towards the dining table while folding his sleeves to the elbow.

The moment Jake stepped out of the room, Noah's sight never left him. Subconsciously he kept noticing Jake's every movement.

Stepping towards the dining table, Jake noticed it, "I know I'm handsome but don't act like you are seeing me for the first time."

Noah snapped out of the daze, and as usual, he knew how to get back the situation in his court.

"Don't be so full of yourself, your highness. The most handsome face I see every morning when I look into the mirror." Noah looked at Jake's arm, "I was wondering this is not how you go to the office with folded sleeves and all."

"This is how I'm comfortable," Jake countered, and just then, his sight followed Noah's lower lip's corner, which looked hurt, "What happened to your lips?"

It startled Noah to think how this guy noticed it when he tried his best to cover it.

"Is it visible?" Noah asked, acting all nonchalant.

"Hmm," Jake nodded.

"What can I expect from the wild girl I spend my time with," Noah said as he touched the corner of his lips with his thumb to check.

Jake frowned inwardly, and Noah continued, "It wouldn't look good in the office. I need to hide it."

"Do you work on Saturdays?" Jake asked that shocked Noah. It explained why Jake wore casual clothes.

'Is-is it Saturday today?' Noah thought, and Jake could see through him.

Since Noah woke up, the thoughts of what happened the previous night stuffed his brain to even think about it was Saturday.

"I have some urgent work to do so…"

Just then, Jake's cell phone rang, and Lu Lijun's name flashed on the screen.

Glaring at Noah, Jake received the call as he put it on the speaker.

"Jake," said Lu Lijun.

"I'm listening," Jake replied.

"I have sent you something; check your email," Lu Lijun informed.

"Don't tell me you couldn't sleep the entire night, so you continued working," Jake commented.

Lu Lijun stayed silent, and Jake continued, "Well, Noah is coming to office; he will help you."

"Office?" It's Saturday, and there is nothing to work," Lu Lijun informed Jake, and he continued glaring at Noah.

Noah felt trapped in a trap and didn't know how to get out of it. Lowering his head, Noah continued eating as if he was starving for ages.

"But our friend wants to be a dedicated employee," Jake's words and his sight looked mocking.

Talking for a while, Jake hung up the call and said to Noah, "Tell me."

Noah looked at him innocently, "What?"

"Why are you trying to avoid me?" Jake asked.

"Who? Me? You are mistaken," came the immediate denial from Noah.

"Why were you going to the office so early?" Jake asked.

Noah sighed and leaned back in his chair, "Do you really want to know?"

Jake nodded.

"I was going to see Nicole as I missed her after what we did last night. I just didn't want to tell you as I don't wish you to feel I left you for a girl," Noah replied.

His answer didn't affect Jake as he continued staring at Noah, "What exactly did you do with her?"

COUGH!!

Noah felt choked as he didn't expect Jake to ask this. "Do you want the details?" Noah asked.

"Hmm," Jake nodded, not hesitating even a bit.

Noah leaned forward and put his index finger on the wound on his lips, "Did you see this? She did this."

Jake chuckled, "Kiss? That's it."

"Why would I give you details? I love my privacy. This much information is enough."

Jake chuckled again, "I think she doesn't know how to kiss."

"She does even better than you," Noah countered, not knowing what words he would spurt out.

"Better than me, huh? How can you say it?" Jake asked as he smirked.

Noah felt caught off guard, "She is experienced, and you are not…."

"How can you be sure about me. Does it really need an experience?" Jake asked and looked at Noah's hurt lips, "If she is that good, how did she hurt you like that?"

Noah was getting annoyed with the sudden firing of questions that he didn't wish to talk about and exclaimed, "It's you, who…."
