---- Chapter 106 I took my time eating. When I was done, Jonathan told me, " Do you really want to go out? Fine. You only get to leave after I come back from work, and I'll take you out myself." Tooked up right away and refused, "No. Iwant to go out alone, I feel suffocated when you're around." His brows furrowed right away. "It's either you come with me, or you stay home." He was strict on this matter. Lately, he pretty much said yes to everything I asked for.

No matter what I said or did, he went along with it. Other than not letting me leave the house, he did everything I asked for. Even Alicia barely showed up in front of me. I didn't expect him to be so firm about this. After a pause, I huffed and stormed off. Jonathan didn't come after me. He gave me the cold shoulder for a few days. He took care of everything else these days, except for my personal feelings. But the idea of going out was off-limits.

I was getting seriously fed up with how controlling he was. He must have felt guilty seeing me so down when he suddenly said, "How about I take you to the office today?" My eyes lit up, but I couldn't help but complain. "Why are we ---- going to the office ? I've already quit Millenia Corporation ." Jonathan looked into my eyes and responded, "I didn't approve that. You're technically still my secretary.

Since your headache is gone, you're coming to work with me." Icouldn't help but roll my eyes. "Why do you need me to go with you to work? Can't you go on your own?" He just stared at me, then suddenly lifted my chin. "Didn't you say you wanted to be around me every second of the day? Being my assistant was your idea. "You came into my company acting like a control freak, did everything yourself, and wouldn't even let the secretarial staff step foot in my office.

And now you're just leaving the mess behind?" Itook a deep breath. Even though I already knew I used to be a love -struck fool, hearing all those specific details still blew my mind. How deeply was I in love with Jonathan to do something so ridiculous? Tadded, "Don't worry. I'm over it. I'm not doing anything that stupid ever again." He didn't seem quite happy to hear that. Instead, his expression darkened, and his gaze turned colder.

"I never said anything you did was stupid." Ireplied, "You don't need to rub it in. I'm well aware." Ishoved Jonathan away. He adjusted his collar and calmly ---- buttoned his cuff. Even though he still looked as composed and elegant as ever, I could sense a hint of irritation beneath that. He remarked , "I know you're still upset about Alicia, Elise. But I've told you many times that I only see her as a younger sister. There's nothing else. Stop picking a fight." Tlocked eyes with him.

"Do you honestly think sweet words are enough to make me run back to you, like some clingy fool without dignity?" He furrowed his brows. "That's not how I see it. Don't talk about yourself like that, Elise." I shook my head with a wry smile. "What difference does it make? That's how everyone sees me, including Mr. Ford Senior, Alicia, and even everyone in your circle. They all look at me the same way. Tell me the truth. You see me that way too, don't you?"
