Chapter 112
Jason interlaced his fingers with Estrella’s, grinning as he introduced her, “My
wife.” There was a palpable pride in his voice when he said it.
The owner's eyes went wide with surprise. “Mr. Jason, you're married?” After a
moment's recovery, the owner looked at them both with a warm smile. “Mrs.
Nelson is quite the beauty, so elegant. You two are a perfect match.”
He quickly followed up with, “Mr. Jason, this is the first time you have brought
your wife here for a meal. Don’t rush off to settle the bill later. This one’s on me
for Mrs. Nelson.”
The owner sure knew how to do business. Jason patronizing his restaurant was
cause for celebration. He never asked Jason to pay, as Jason was not one to
take advantage. He'd long since had Drew take care of it.
At today’s enthusiastic offer, Jason chuckled, “Alright, then I'll thank you on
behalf of Estrella.”
“It's nothing,” the owner dismissed with a wave of his hand. “It's my pleasure to
have you and your lady here.”
Walking beside Jason, Estrella glanced up at him. She couldn't help but smile
inwardly. He really did a complete turnaround. Now he openly acknowledged her
status outside.
Once in the private dining room, the owner personally served their dishes. Jason,
serving Estrella some food, teased, “Thanks to Ms. Estrellas charm, we're dining
on the house.”
Estrella chuckled, “See, I told you I have influence. You better sweet-talk me
more often. Her playful banter made Jason gaze at her intently, taking him back
to their college day
Estrella tasted her dish and noticed Jason staring at her. “Why are you looking at
me like that? Aren't you going to eat?”
Instead of answering directly, Jason quipped, “I'm more interested in devouring
you than the meal.”
Estrella laughed it off. “Alright, then. No sleep tonight. Let's see if I can wear you
out.”
They had sex in the office not long ago. Estrella mused that she had never
realized before that he was so incapable of controlling himself. How did he get
through the past two years?
Accepting her playful challenge, Jason simply continued to serve her more food.
After finishing their meal, Jason didn't hesitate to sign the bill. A nod from him
could bring more business to the restaurant than a single meal’s worth.
Soon after, as they started driving away, Estrella’s phone rang — a client on the
other end. Being a lawyer meant being busy when others rested, as that was
when clients had time

to think about their issues.
“Have you proceeded with the arbitration? What did HR say at the company?”
“The company says to sue however you want. Keep your contract and
attendance records, and we'll discuss the rest when we meet.”
After giving her client some instructions, Estrella hung up.
Jason glanced at her, one hand on the steering wheel. “How about joining Nelson
International?” He found her work persona quite alluring, imagining her alongside
him in meetings, sharing her thoughts with that same earnestness.
“You couldn't handle me,” Estrella said nonchalantly.
Jason's face darkened, and he pinched her chin before letting her go. His own
Nelson International was grand. Could it really not compare to her firm, Justice
Guardians LLP?
Shaking off the thought, Estrella gave him a sly smile, inspecting him from head
to toe, with an extra glance at his lower half. “Moved from lust to love, have you?”
Jason rolled his eyes. “Flatter yourself, why don't you?”
“Come on. It's not like I'm going to eat you alive for liking me. Feel free to fall for
me.”
If Jason truly had feelings for her, it was time for her to settle some old scores.
Estrellas teasing prompted Jason to silence her the way he used to, by pinching
her mouth shut like before. Estrella pushed his hand away and, noticing traffic
was getting heavy, reclined her seat to take a nap. “Wake me when we get to the
firm,” she murmured seizing the rare opportunity to rest while not driving.
Jason, seeing her asleep, turned on the car's heater without disturbing her.
Hearing the hum of the heater, Estrella cracked open an eye, verified he had

Jason picked up his own coat from the back seat and gently placed it over her.
Around one in the afternoon, the car parked outside the firm. Estrella was still
sleeping soundly, so Jason didn’t wake her. He occupied himself with his phone,
occasionally glancing at her resting form.
It wasn't long before the car window was rapped. Jason looked up,
expressionless, and rolled down the window to see Logan's face pop up,
beaming. “Mr. Jason, you're here. How about coming up to the office?”
Logan had just parked when he spotted Jason's Maybach. Jason was a major
client at Justice Guardians LLP, and seeing his car idling, Logan came over to
check in.
As Logan spoke, he noticed Estrella, curled up asleep in the passenger seat.
Logan's expression shifted from shock to swift contrition as he quickly stepped in

After apologizing to Jason, Logan nudged Estrella, “Estrella, wake up. Time to
get back to the grind.”
Estrella was out cold, and instead of waking up, she just rolled over and
continued to sleep, a particularly long drool stretching from the corner of her
mouth.

If it were anyone else in Jason's car, they'd be on their A-game, making sure they
were dressed to the nines. The idea of dozing off, let alone drooling, in his
presence?
Unthinkable.
