The Master Programmer-Chapter 156: Prying Secrets and Sealing Fates 2

"That’s fine, you must have hit your head slightly," Samantha said briskly. "It’ll come back later. For now, Mr Cross here needs to get back to work. Let’s get you out of here and to the sick bay." She helped Bella to her feet and escorted her out, leaving Jason alone in the room.

As the door clicked shut, Jason’s mind replayed the critical moments before Bella’s awakening as he walked back to his desk. The revelation had been unexpected but illuminating. Under hypnosis, Bella had spilt everything…

Her loyalty to James Carter...

Her secret relationship with him...

His machinations to dismantle the Ellis family’s empire...

Jason leaned back in his chair, his sharp mind already spinning plans. "So, James wants the entire Ellis fortune," he muttered, his lips curling into a predatory grin. "But he’s underestimating me. Unfortunately for him, his actions have pushed the Ellis family fortune into my hands. And the fortune is unfortunately not the money, It’s the women."

Jason had barely started reviewing his next move when Samantha re-entered, her steps swift and purposeful. Jason frowned. Was something wrong?

Just as he was about to stand up and say something, without warning, she grabbed him by the lapels of his suit and kissed him fiercely. Her lips were warm, her passion igniting a fire that Jason hadn’t felt in a long time.

When she finally pulled away, her eyes sparkled with a mixture of triumph and challenge. "I’ll see you tonight," she said, her voice sultry. "We’ll sit together at the auction. Make sure you’re ready. And Make sure your ’little girl’ is ready too. After all, I’ll bring you a great surprise."

Jason chuckled, smoothing his suit. So rough... But he had no issue with it. "I’m always ready. And she… she’ll be ready for you."

Samantha lingered for a moment, her gaze lingering on him. "How many more secrets are you hiding, Jason?"

His smirk was slow and deliberate. "Too many to count. But you’ll have a lifetime to discover them… if you’re brave enough." Samantha looked at Jason and then shook her head. Entire lifetime? What the hell was he saying... She turned away and began laughing as she left, leaving Jason sitting there alone with his thoughts.

He had shown her a glimpse of his capabilities, and her reverence and belief in him was growing. This was a good thing for his mission. After all, Jason had seen how her progress had increased. Soon she would be his servant as well. Now, all that remained was to make her fully submit, to make her understand that she would never surpass him, how she had to follow him for the rest of her life.

Jason’s phone buzzed, snapping him out of his reverie. Isabella’s name flashed on the screen. A smile softened his features. It was soon going to be time to see her. After the chaos of the day, her calming presence would be a welcome respite.

But even as he prepared to leave, his mind was already plotting.

James Carter had made his move, and Jason had no intention of letting him win. Let’s play, James. Let’s play.

Jason spent the rest of his day working hard, and by the end, he left a bit early, since he had someone to see. Someone very special to him. He entered his car and drove over to the hospital where Isabella was probably waiting for him.

Jason Cross had the kind of presence that made people stop and stare. As he strolled through the hospital parking lot, his tailored suit glinted faintly under the fluorescent lights.

This was where it all began. He couldn’t help but smirk at the irony. The very hospital that had once felt like a sterile purgatory now held a special place in his journey. Here, he met Isabella—his shy but fiercely loyal nurse—and she had quickly become one of the few people who truly mattered in his life.

Jason looked around, trying to spot that pervy doctor again. He wondered where that guy was. And he wondered whose ass he was eating recently. Probably some innocent nurse. Smiling to himself, Jason made his way over to Isabella’s section, confidently walking in the eyes of everyone at the scene.

Entering the hospital, Jason’s purposeful strides turned heads. Nurses whispered and giggled as he passed, their gazes lingering on his chiselled features and confident demeanour. Wow... who was that? And why wasn’t he in their lives?

One brunette, her doe-like eyes betraying a mix of fascination and desire, froze as Jason approached her station. Her cheeks flushed as he leaned slightly over the counter, his smirk as potent as a well-practised charm offensive.

"Hey there, beautiful. Where can I find Isabella?" he asked, his deep, velvety voice causing a visible shiver to run down her spine. Jason recognised this nurse. She was that one nurse that had been around the last time to give him his papers which he used to work out his leaving the hospital.

The nurse fumbled with her clipboard before pointing towards a corridor. "She’s… she’s in there. She should be coming out soon." She was pointing at the nurse’s changing rooms. Jason nodded as he gazed there. She must still be getting herslef ready to leave.

Jason’s lips curled slightly as he straightened up. "Thank you," he said, the timbre of his voice carrying an almost hypnotic cadence. With the way he carried himself and the way he did things, he used an authoritative tone softened by genuine acknowledgement to leave the listener feeling valued. That was why people felt so incredibly dram to him even without knowing why.

And then he saw it… The nurse’s pupils dilated, her breathing quickened, and Jason, ever the master of observation, smirked and stood aside.

Before he could walk away, she called out. "Wait! You… remember me right? You’re Jason Cross. I gave you my number last time, you must have lost it." Her expression shifted to one of playful reproach, though the faint quiver in her voice betrayed her nerves.

So she remembered him too. He remembered her all too well. After all, she had been trying to cheat on her boyfriend last time.

And she must be trying to cheat on her boyfriend again this time too.

Bro... whoever you are... I feel so sorry for you.
