Mates Test

It doesn't match the state of her heart. Right now, Jane was at a Japanese restaurant with the man who had been flirting with her all afternoon.

She don't know why she was so cheap with all the man's persuasion.

"More Jane?"

Nakula handed him a plate of teriyaki. Jane's eyebrows raised one. Feeling uncomfortable with the attention Nakula was giving her.

"I don't want to be fat," Jane said simply.

"Really. It's not nice to be fat. It's warm."

"Well, who would want to hug you?" said Jane angrily.

At that, Nakula chuckled. He didn't expect to be answered that.

"Jane are you happy to see me again?" Nakula asked deeply.

Their eyes met. In the back of their minds, they seemed unwilling to part again.

"Not Mr. Nakula Kagendra. I feel normal."

"Tsk. How can you call me sir? What am I married to your mother for?" said Nakula, not accepting being called sir again.

"Then what do you call me?"

"Call me sweetheart for example."

Jane immediately pouted. If you look at it, Nakula's flirting was so clichéd. And there were so many that Jane wanted to throw up.

"There's no need to overdo it, Nakula. Right now our relationship is limited to superiors and subordinates," Jane said confidently.

"Yes, I do prefer to be on top. I can control you more."

Jane rolled her eyes. Nakula had always been a pervert towards her.

"No need to get weird Nakula. I'm not that cheap."

Jane was very upset. Nakula never seemed to change. From his outlook, his words, and even his glamor. She was like meeting Nakula five years ago.

"Oh yes Jane, seriously ask here. Isn't your boyfriend angry that you're hanging out with me?"

Hearing that question, Jane, who was drinking, immediately choked. Nakula quickly moved to her side and patted Jane on the back.

"Slow down Jane," Nakula said calculatingly.

"Thank you."

Jane took a tissue from her bag. She wiped her lips as she felt a lot of saliva coming out. She didn't dare to look to the side this time. For some reason, Nakula's question was like a slap in the face.

"Are you okay?" Nakula asked to make sure.

"Yes, I'm fine. You take it easy. It's just a small problem," said Jane, who was beginning to calm down. Although there was no denying the nervousness that burned in her heart.

"Alright."

Nakula sat back down in front of Jane. He continued to look at her face intensely. As if swaying just a little, he would lose her again.

"Since when did you become a billionaire?" Jane asked to divert Nakula's gaze.

"Why, want to apply to be a sugar baby? You can consider it."

Jane pressed her lips together. She felt she had asked the wrong question. But it wasn't a normal question.

"You're funny when you're upset," said Nakula, who was still looking at Jane gently.

"Thank you, sir. I was touched."

"Seriously Jane. I became a billionaire because of my savings. Then Uncle Bara recommended this company for me to manage. Since I felt like I had a lot of money, I bought more than half of the shares. It just so happened that the owner was in desperate need of money."

Jane shook her head. She didn't understand Nakula's way of thinking anymore. As far as she knew, Nakula used to be very modest and far from showing off.

"Either you're telling us why you're rich and the boss or you're just showing off."

Nakula smiled at Jane's grumbling. "It's a serious thing to tell Jane. If you think it's showing off, that's fine too. People's opinions are free."

"But is the original owner Bara?" asked Jane who switched to serious mode. More precisely, she was curious about the original owner.

During her time in Singapore, she had never met him. Only Mr. Samuel was the boss's accomplice and had met him. The other staff seemed to have never met him. No one knows his real name.

"No, no. My Uncle only recommends it. Yes, I'm one of his competent employees. I already know the world of networks like this."

Nakula was bragging again. Jane almost spits her food out of her stomach. It tasted so good.

"Don't show off in front of me, Nakula. It doesn't work."

Nakula shrugged her shoulders indifferently. Not giving any importance to what Jane had just said.

"You haven't answered my question. So you're not jealous of your boyfriend for going out with me?" Nakula asked again for the second time.

"Oh about that." Jane's eyes glanced in random directions. She thought Nakula had forgotten. It was still the same. So curious about the single girl's personal life.

"I told the boss that I had work to do outside. I'm a new staff, so it's bad to say no."

Jane thought that was a good explanation. Nakula was now her boss. Not a date like a few years ago. Their story was over.

"Oh yes. Does your lover believe you?" asked Nakula as if unsatisfied with Jane's answer.

"Yes, of course."

"It turns out there's no difference between good and stupid. Em, or just not in love he."

Nakula was deliberately fishing. According to him, Jane was one of those who did not like it when her partner was demonized by others. She would defend him to the death. That's the term.

"Ah, you're the one who thinks too badly."

Jane argued. The way she spoke was also too casual. Not as passionate as when her father or brother had opposed their relationship. Even if it was a pointless piece of trash, Jane still defended and sided with Nakula.

"Then take the test. Call him, and tell him that the boss asked for an out-of-town escort right now. If he allows it easily, then it's not love. But if he forbids it with all sorts of excuses, there's a chance he likes you."

Nakula gave such a challenge not without reason. As a former lover who still cared. Surely he wanted Jane to find a good man.

"What the hell Nakula? No need for any tests. I don't want to enter the civil service."

Jane certainly didn't want her lies exposed. She had to prove that she could find a better man than Nakula. After all, it was Nakula who looked like he had a partner.

"Too bad you don't want to. Even though there is a prize for that."

Jane didn't care. The important thing was that the secret was safe first. She didn't need the gift of a vacation ticket to the Maldives for a month.

"What's wrong with you anyway. You should have done that to your girlfriend. You're already a billionaire. You might as well test whether she's loyal or not when you meet your ex."

Nakula found that funny. Jane seemed to freak out when her topic of her came up.

"Jane... Jane. You forgot that I'm a detective."

Jane choked up at that. Don't tell me Nakula knows...

"Of course, I know about you."
