Chapter 1010
At that moment, Imogen was extremely flustered.
Jasper looked down at her trembling hand resting on the back of his own. Then, he turned his hand to hold hers, gently rubbing her palm. He could feel the sweat in her hand, so he knew that she was truly scared.
Jasper comforted her, "You're my wife. How could I ever report you? I'm just reminding you that what you're doing is wrong and illegal."
Imogen nodded vigorously and replied, "I know, but I've already taken the money. I'll finish this project, and I promise I won't take on such freelance work again."
Jasper asked, "Then tell me, what exactly is this project?"
After hesitating for a few seconds, Imogen murmured with her head lowered, "The space agency's latest Dragon Arrow 2 flight database has a system linkage bug. They outsourced it to me to fix it."
Jasper was stunned.
Seeing his silence, she looked up but saw his shocked expression.
Imogen resigned as she said, "It's not that the space agency doesn't have people who can fix it. Some opportunistic employees want to make themselves look good, so they take on such tasks and then find people like me, who have the skills but lack the credentials and job opportunities, to do the work.
"I get paid, they get the credit and rewards, maybe even promotions."
Jasper sighed lightly. As he gripped Imogen's hand tightly, he leaned back on the sofa. His expression darkened, and he felt uncomfortable.
Thinking about Zoey's actions, which led to Imogen's current desperate situation, made him furious.
Imogen peeped at Jasper's expression and noticed his anger, but she didn't understand why he was so upset.
She asked anxiously, "You won't report me, will you?"
Jasper furrowed his brow, lost in thought.
Imogen nervously leaned closer to him. She mustered the courage to appeal to him in a soft and coquettish tone, "Jay, please, just turn a blind eye this once. I'm only doing it for the money."
Jasper's expression became slightly gloomy. He gulped as he gazed intently at her delicate face. He asked with a husky voice, "Are you begging me?"
Imogen blinked her bright eyes and nodded sincerely. She said, "Yes."
Jasper swallowed before murmuring, "Show some sincerity."
With an earnest and serious attitude, Imogen knelt on the sofa beside him
and clasped her hands together th

pleaded, "I'm begging you, day."
Jasper shook his head.
Imogen frowned. She asked in displeasure, "Then what do you want me to do to show sincerity?"
Jasper leaned closer to stare at her pink lips. He hesitated before saying in a hoarse voice, "Can you kiss me?"
Imogen was dumbfounded as her heart pounded like crazy. She thought she had misheard him. She froze for a while from being extremely nervous.
However, Jasper fixed his gaze on her lips, gradually drawing closer to her.
Her heart raced faster and faster, her breathing became even more erratic, and her body felt increasingly warm.
Feeling her face heat up, Imogen closed her eyes and mustered her courage to kiss him.
As soon as her lips touched his cold lips, an indescribable thrill surged through her, making her body stiff.
She didn't move. She quietly kissed his lips, breathing in his pleasant scent.
She didn't know how long she needed to kiss him to show sincerity.
Just as she was wondering, she felt a hand on her waist, slowly pulling her into his embrace.Property © NôvelDrama.Org.
