Chapter 674  Jack\'s Jealousy

[ At K.D. Cox Salon and Spa… ]

Kathleen was taken by surprise when an unexpected visitor arrived, prompting her staff to begin murmuring among themselves. It soon became evident that they had spotted Nathan\'s arrival.

Kathleen wasted no time and went to greet Nathan. "To whom do I owe the pleasure of your visit today, Mr. Sparks?" The two had been at odds for a considerable time due to Monica\'s presence.

However, since the truth regarding Monica\'s betrayal came to light, Nathan should acknowledge his mistake and apologize to Kathleen. He never listened to her even though Kathleen told him about Monica\'s cheating incident.

"Are you free? Can I borrow a few minutes of your time?" Nathan politely requested Kathleen.

Kathleen blinked in amusement before nodding her head. Nathan was surprisingly polite today.

"We can talk in the Cafe next door," Kathleen suggested.

Nathan agreed immediately. Kathleen led him to the Cafe. The two ordered some drinks and settled down at the corner table. Little did they know, someone was secretly watching them from a distance. It was Jack. \'Why is Nathan Sparks here?\' Jack pondered to himself. He couldn\'t hide the jealousy he was feeling.

Jack had been monitoring Kathleen. He couldn\'t find the courage to face her. Besides, he was occupied with Red Dragon Mafia\'s operation. He just observed the two while they were talking inside the Cafe.

Meanwhile, inside the Cafe, Nathan started the conversation with Kathleen.

"Maybe you are wondering why I came here." Nathan said, glancing at Kathleen intently.

Kathleen was a little bit comfortable. She wasn\'t used to this kind of Nathan\'s behavior. He was very polite towards her. \'What has gotten into him?\' Kathleen pondered to herself.

"Yes, I\'m surprised that you came to see me." Kathleen admitted.

"I just want to apologize for everything. I never believed you before. It\'s about Monica\'s cheating. I should have listened to you." Nathan brought their issues in the past.

"Oh," Kathleen gasped. She was speechless because this was the first time Nathan apologized to her and acknowledged his mistake.

"Can you forgive me?" Nathan asked her again.

"Nate, it\'s in the past. Let\'s put it behind us. I\'ve already forgiven you. I understand that your feelings for Monica clouded your judgment," Kathleen replied with a gentle smile.

"So... have you come to a realization now? Have you discovered who Monica\'s secret lover was?" she inquired, her curiosity piqued as she addressed Nathan.

Nathan simply bobbed his head, not denying it. "Yes. I found out."

Kathleen reflexively patted Nathan\'s back as she wanted to confront him. This gesture didn\'t escape Jack\'s observant eyes. His expression turned grim as he was clouded with jealousy.

"Is she trying to flirt with him? Does she not know that Nathan Sparks likes another woman?" Jack clenched his fists as he continued to watch Kathleen and Nathan. He was having internal frustration and anger right now. He had the urge to separate the two and drag Kathleen out of the Cafe.

Oblivious of the jealous man secretly spying on them, Nathan and Kathleen continued their conversation. At this moment, Nathan stopped Kathleen from patting his back. He didn\'t need to be comforted. He had already moved on. He no longer have feelings for Monica.

In the middle of their conversation, Nathan\'s phone beeped, indicating that he received a message. He picked up his phone from his pocket and checked the message. It was an unknown number.

A few seconds later, Nathan\'s expression darkened and he hastily stood up. "Kathleen, I won\'t keep you any longer. I must depart immediately as an urgent matter demands my attention."

Sensing the urgency in Nathan\'s expression, Kathleen nodded in understanding. Nathan had received an anonymous message from Ethan, and without wasting a moment, he swiftly exited the café, taking large, purposeful strides.

Watching Nathan\'s departing back, Kathleen also stood up to go back to her spa. Unknown to her, Jack already followed her and he pretended to be a customer.

Upon settling into her office, one of Kathleen\'s employees approached her with a peculiar request.

"Ma\'am, there\'s a handsome customer who\'s asking to see you. He claims to be an acquaintance," the staff reported with a teasing smile.

Kathleen arched an eyebrow and inquired, "Do we know who he is?"

"He\'s keeping his identity secret, Ma\'am. He insisted that you come to meet him in person," she replied.

Intrigued by the mystery surrounding this visitor, Kathleen pondered, "Could it be my cousin, Aiden? Is he playing one of his pranks on me again?"

The staff stifled a giggle, familiar with Aiden Wu\'s antics. However, the man waiting in one of the spa rooms was not Aiden; his demeanor and presence were quite distinct from Aiden\'s.

"No, Ma\'am. He\'s not Sir Aiden. This is the first time I\'ve seen him."

"Alright, I\'ll go meet him. Which room is he in again?" Kathleen decided to confront this unexpected visitor, as it seemed to be an eventful day for surprise guests.

"Room 4, Ma\'am," the staff replied, resolute in her task of escorting her boss to the designated room. The customer had generously tipped her for this duty.

"Understood. I\'ll head to him immediately," Kathleen replied, ready to leave her office. However, she suddenly came to a stop, a thought crossing her mind. "Hold on a moment. Is he harmless?" Kathleen inquired of her employee, seeking some reassurance about the mysterious visitor.

Her employee offered some comfort, assuring Kathleen with a reassuring smile. "Don\'t worry, Ma\'am. He appears quite decent and harmless."

Kathleen couldn\'t help but giggle at her own curiosity as she made her way to Room 4. With a few brisk steps, she arrived at her destination and found herself standing in front of the door. Pausing for a moment, she took a deep breath to steady herself before gently sliding the door open. Cautiously, she stepped inside the room, only to be met with Jack\'s cold and unexpected presence.

Bam!

Click!

In an instant, the door slammed shut, and the lock clicked as Jack seized Kathleen and cornered her.

"Jack? It\'s you. Why are you—" Kathleen\'s words were cut short as Jack, without a moment\'s hesitation, cupped her face and claimed her lips in a fiery, hunger-filled kiss.
