Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman

His arms slowly wrapped around her soft waist. He had her completely protected. Now Zed inhaled the scent of her body waiting for Jean's further actions. He wanted more than just a kiss.

On the other hand, Jean felt so ashamed to take the initiative to do this. Her mind was filled with pounding blood. Being in such a position, she couldn't think clearly. She heard Zed talk to her but his words didn't make sense to her confused mind. Anxiously, she wondered what to do next. Her crimson face deepened and a darker shade appeared. Jean felt extremely awkward so she closed her eyes and covered her face with both the hands to avoid looking at Zed directly.

Seeing her cute actions, Zed figured that Jean must be very nervous about taking over the whole making love thing. In order to help her, he guided her by whispering in her left ear with his husky voice. "Open your eyes, Jean," he ordered softly. Jean's body wanted to continue but her mind rejected. Shame flooded over her. Slowly she said, "I can't..."

Zed realized that Jean was so shy that she couldn't go on. He had been waiting and couldn't wait any longer. Giving up, he rolled Jean under him, leaned down, nudged her mouth open and ran his tongue into it.

Slowly, the atmosphere in the room changed completely. It became wild and alive.

Zed gazed at her face with a faint smile hanging on his face as Jean opened her eyes the next morning.

Thinking about last night, Jean felt really awkward. Slowly, everything replayed inside her head and the blushed crimson returned. She moved her eyes away to avoid looking directly at Zed.

"What's up? You are blushing, Jean. Are you still shy about your behavior last night?" Zed teased in a joyful voice as he caught the sight of her red face. He propped up his head with his hands and looked at Jean. "Nothing... No, I'm not..." Jean stammered. She had never expected Zed would say this.

"Alright! Forget it. I have something to tell you, Jean," Zed said as he realized Jean felt anxious about his teasing. He wanted to give her a rest and change the topic.

"What?" Jean turned to face Zed instantly and looked at him with a confused look.

"I have planned to arrange Toby, Gregory and Terry to look after you. Their duty is to make sure you are safe," Zed said seriously as he gazed at Jean.

"Gregory's and Terry's job is to protect you. If you give them to me, you have to get the others to replace this position, don't you?" Jean questioned feeling worried.

She had already figured out that Toby was responsible for Zed's safety earlier.

But then Zed asked him to protect Jean so Gregory and Terry had to take his position.

'If Zed sends Gregory and Terry to protect me, who will protect his safety?' Jean thought inwardly worrying about Zed's safety.

"I will be fine. And you are the one going to face danger at the moment," Zed consoled in a soothing voice. He continued, "You don't want me to come with you. What I can do now is to let them protect you. I trust them, Jean." "How about you?" Jean responded ignoring his concern for her safety. She knew that Zed wouldn't change his mind about this, but she tried nevertheless.

"Don't worry about me. Please relax, girl. I will arrange the others to do their duty. I promise you that I will be fine. Go and solve your problem. I will be waiting for you at home," Zed said. Deep down, he worried a great deal about Jean's safety. "Alright!" Since Zed insisted on this arrangement, she had no choice but to accept it. Reluctantly, she nodded her consent.

A faint smile crept up on Zed's face as he watched Jean accept his arrangement. He felt relieved and said, "It's time to get up, Honey. Where are you planning to go today? Let me give you a ride."

"You are late for the office, Zed. Let Toby drive me to the hospital. Don't worry about me," Jean said with a big smile on her face. "I will visit Henry after breakfast. I have to figure out what Henry plans to do first."

"If your father is reluctant to sell the Wen group, I will pay one hundred million dollars," Zed said as he put on his clothes.

"No way." Jean rejected this idea without even thinking twice about it. She continued, "It's yours. I will not plan to spend your money to save Shirley. Just relaxed, Zed. Let me handle this."

Since Jean insisted on coping with the whole issue by her own, Zed planned to back out. "Alright! I will let you deal with it."

"Thank you, Zed," Jean said with a nod. Then she quickly put on her dress and followed Zed downstairs.

After having breakfast, she followed him outside.

They saw Toby, Gregory and Terry stand beside two luxurious cars which were parked in front of portico steps.

As Zed looked, he realized that one car was Cadillac and another one was Lamborghini. Secretly, he thought, 'Although they are luxury sports cars and limited editions, they are not good enough for gun fighting.'

So he went to Toby and ordered, "You drive Bentley from today onwards and take good care of Jean's safety."

For a second, Toby stood stunned after he heard that Zed was letting him drive that Bentley car. He tried his best not to show it. 'That Bentley is limited edition and bulletproof. Moreover, it is a good fit for gun fighting. Does boss plan to ...'

Toby felt excited as he caught the sight of Gregory and Terry wearing the same surprised smile.

But what Zed said next would burst their bubbles.

"Gregory, Terry, and Toby, your job is to protect Jean from now onwards. Anything happens to Jean, you will held responsible. Am I clear?"

Zed ordered with a stern look.

"Yes, sir," they responded together as they realized this was an important task.

Jean stood beside and saw Zed arrange everything orderly in a way that shocked her.

His professionalism in handling the matters made her realize that Zed might not be just an ordinary businessman.

'Does he have any other identity that I don't know?

I can feel fear and respect reeking from Toby, Terry and Gregory,' thought Jean, left in a daze.

"Or am I overthinking?' Jean doubted it instantly.

"Promise me, you will take care of yourself." Zed snapped her from her thoughts when he saw her stand like a statue. In truth, he felt much relieved after he arranged everything. He placed his hands on her cheeks and looked at her affectionately. "I promise," Jean replied as she caught the sight of Zed's anxious look. "I will. Don't worry about it."

Zed felt assured. He kissed her forehead and walked toward that Cadillac.

And Toby drove that luxury Bentley car and stopped it in front of Jean.

Jean didn't know much of the cars, but she could tell from Toby's careful expressions that this was an extremely expensive car.

'I seldom saw Zed use this car before. This car must have much more value than the others or else Zed wouldn't give it to me at this very moment, ' Jean thought secretly.

Toby opened the car door for her, then Jean got into the car. She couldn't help looking over the inside of the car.

'The inside is luxurious, too. And this leather sofa is so soft. What a comfortable sofa it is!' Jean screamed inside.

'Although the cars I used before are limited edition, I suppose this must be Zed's most expensive car, ' Jean's mind told her.

A while later, Toby started the car and carefully drove on the road.

Suddenly, something nudged Jean so she raised her head and looked outside the car.

That was when she saw an Audi was following her behind. Inside, Gregory and Terry were sitting.

"Are they starting work now?" Jean looked at Toby and asked with a look of resignation.

"It's Mr. Zed's order. We have to follow his rules," Toby replied in an indifferent tone.

Jean nodded her consent and didn't say anything more.

However, she felt a twinge of fear inside after she realized what she was going to face. Their careful protection made her feel even more anxious.

On the other hand, Jean also felt somehow excited since she was going to figure out the reason of Winner's death on her own. She didn't realized how dangerous it would be.

The fact that Zed had sent three of his bodyguards to protect her made Jean realize the seriousness of this dangerous plan. She felt nervous and excited all at once.

Somehow, she never meant to get Zed involved but she actually dragged him down into this mess. 'Anyway, I am here to find the truth and willing to do whatever it takes, ' Jean made up her mind.

A while later, they arrived at the hospital. Jean got out of the car at the entrance and stood there waiting for Toby while he parked the car. Then they went to visit Henry together. 0000
