Contemplating for a while, Jason stated, "There is lots of work pressure, I don't know about you but there is a lot of pressure on me. I need someone to help me out with everything."

"Hmm so you want to work with Elizabeth? Which means you are excited. You have to be shy about it Jason, it's okay," Linhou remarked. ​​

"Linhou you have started talking too much. Do you want me to tell your girlfriend about all your bad habits? Do you want me to tell her about your ex-crush as well?" Jason snapped.

Widening his eyes in shock, he snapped, "What teh fuck is wrong with you? Why are you trying to sabotage my relationship which hasn't even officially started yet? Are you out of your mind?"

"If you don't want me to sabotage your relationship then stop meddling with my business. Let's make a deal."

Scrunching his brows, Linhou curiously asked, "What kind of deal?"

"I will not interfere in your business and you are not allowed to interfere in mine," Jason stated.

"But we are bro's, how can we do that? Interfering in your business is my birthright and it's the same for you," he frowned.

Helplessly shaking his head, Jason sighed, "Why do I even try to have an adult conversation with you? You know what, just forget everything I just said."

...

"You both must be Linhou and Jason, old Mo told me he will be sending two boys for assistance," grandpa Bai remarked.

When Linhou started looking around for that particular someone, Jason pinched his waist and gestured him to greet grandpa Bai.

"Thank you for having us here sir, we are happy to help and take your assistance," Jason stated.

"Yes, me too."

"I have heard many praises about you both from old Mo and old Yang so I don't have anything to worry about." Looking at Kiara who had just arrived, grandpa Bai introduced her. "She is Kiara, she is responsible for the field activities and" Looking around, he asked, "Where is Elizabeth?"

Without taking her eyes off Linhou who was also staring at her, Kiara answered, "She is inside the room."

"This girl, what is she up to these days? It has been quite some time I saw her around, is everything okay?"

Breaking the intense eye contact from Linhou, Kiara awkwardly cleared her throat and answered, "Hmm she said she is working on something important these days so—"

"Alright, you will assist Linhou starting today and Elizabeth will be attending Jason. Take them inside and also show them around. Ask Liza to guide Jason over everything," Grandpa Bai instructed to which Kiara readily agreed.

After grandpa Bai left, she made his way towards Linhou and Jason. "It feels great to finally meet the two of you."

"Hmm I guess this isn't practically the first time we have met." Inching closer, Linhou smiled. "Did you dress up for me?"

Rolling his eyes after witnessing the chessy first official encounter of the couple, Jason snapped, "Please get a room but before that, show me the way."

"Way to what? Elizabeth's room?" Linhou asked.

"She doesn't wanna see you," Kiara snapped.

"I will be working with her and for that, I have to meet her even though she doesn't want to," Jason remarked.

Left with no other choice, Kiara sighed, "Fine but if she breaks your face then don't blame me."

…..

Elizabeth and Kiara's room.

"She is inside." Looking at Jason, Kiara added, "She is still very upset over whatever happened so make sure you don't piss her off more."

Without saying anything, Jason entered the room.

"When can I see your room or maybe the place where you work?" Linhou inquired.

"This is also my room but I can show you my workout space if you want to."

Inching closer, he smiled, "I can't wait to see it."

…..

Inside.

While the romantic couple were about to have a good time, Jason was also having a hard time dealing with Elizabeth's temper and tantrum.

Throwing the mousepad right on his face, she shouted, "Get the hell out of my room."

Grabbing the object, Jason frowned and tossed it aside before closing the door. Without saying anything, he made his way towards her.

"Step aside," he instructed.

"This is my room and I asked you to get out of here," she snapped before pushing him away. She was still very mad over what he had done. He was the reason why she had lost all the data and files from her computer which included the only picture she had of her family members. She had been feeling so stressed and useless for the past couple of weeks only because of him.

Taking a deep breath to calm himself down, he remarked, "Just step aside for a bit and let me take care of it." After Linhou told him about the sentimentally valued pictures which Elizabeth had ended up losing because of him, Jason felt very guilty and sad. He never intended to hurt her or wipe down her computer, everything was a mistake about which he felt very bad too. The keyboard war which always happened between the two of them had terribly gone wrong and now he wanted to make things right by trying to recover everything that she had ended up losing.

"I don't need or want you help so just go out from here." How could she take help from someone whom she detested the most at the moment?

"I am asking you for the last time, are you moving or not?" When she did not say anything, he swiftly picked her up over his shoulder.

Squealing in shocked, she started throwing her legs and hitting his back with her hand. "You—what the hell are you trying to do? Let me go."

Ignoring her hard punches and kicks, Jason made his way towards the bed and threw her on it but before he could move away, she grabbed the edge of his t-shirt.

Gritting her teeth, Elizabeth yelled, "How dare you touch—"
