Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman novel Chapter 205

Jean said indifferently when she felt that Maranda was staring at her fiercely while she was eating.

After hearing what Jean said, John, who was still enjoying his meal, coughed wildly and flushed.

'Why am I caught up in this even while having a meal?' he thought to himself.

Maranda also felt rather embarrassed and stammered, "Why shouldn't I look at you? Jean, what do you mean?"

"I have said very clearly. I already have a husband, so don't have any intentions on me, " Jean explained calmly.

This angered Maranda, who fumed, "Who has any intentions on you?"

"Well! Since you don't have intentions on me, it means that you are a girl with normal sexual orientation. If you are normal, shouldn't you cast your eyes on that handsome man?" Jean seemed unapologetic about what she said and prodded Maranda.

"You......" Maranda tried to reply, but found herself stammering instead. Then she flushed and realized that she was amused by Jean.

There was no need to dwell on that remark, so she put it behind her.

Jean teasingly jeered at her from time to time, as if she didn't know that Maranda loved John.

After hearing what Jean said, John also felt very uneasy. He didn't speak again for a while, wondering how he should handle the situation. "Jean, don't embarrass Maranda anymore. I know that you are intentionally embarrassing her in front of me so that you can get an answer from me."

As John expected, Jean smiled with complacent superiority when he uttered those words.

Maranda was still confused. She stared at Jean and curiously asked, "What do you mean?"

Jean shrugged and snickered.

John could be flirtatious. He was not totally cold and indifferent though he always wore a hard, rigid face in front of everybody, whoever they were.

Jean felt that John wasn't totally ruthless to Maranda.

Hence, she deliberately jeered at Maranda in front of John, so that he would say something to lighten the atmosphere and calm his sense of guilt.

It was undeniable that John was smart.

He also understood Jean's intentions. He knew how he should respond and play the game.

Jean stared at John expectantly, waiting for his answer.

"Just as you have thought. I don't want to say anything more." After he finished speaking, John got up and strode out of the restaurant. He had lost his appetite for more food.

As he left, Maranda coldly glared behind him. She didn't turn back for quite a while. She then looked at Jean, who had an impenetrable expression on her face.

Maranda confusedly asked, "Jean, what on earth did he mean? Why can't I understand?"

"It is normal that you can't understand. My stomach is full. I'm going back to the company now." So saying, Jean took her bag and walked out.

At first, Maranda was taken aback. Then she shook her head and muttered to herself, "All of you are weird. Forget it. I'll just enjoy my meal by myself!"

As she left the restaurant, Jean took out her cellphone from her bag and bit her lips. 'Should I do it now?' she wondered. After thinking about it for some time, she made a call.

"Zed, this is Jean speaking." She greeted him as soon as her call was answered.

Zed was pleased to hear her voice. He smiled to himself and asked, "You miss me, right? Isn't it time for a meal? Did you have a meal?"

Jean took a deep breath before asking Zed in a tender tone, "I just finished. How about you?"
