Husband With Benefits-Chapter 527: Boxing

The rhythmic thud of Gabe’s boxing gloves meeting the punching bag reverberated through the gym, accompanied by the heavy panting of exertion. He was in a mood. And being in a mood meant that the punching bag would have to bear the brunt of it. As he landed another punch on the bag, making it shoot backwards, he sidestepped its retreat and grabbed the bottle of cold water on the side.

The gym was also well maintained. Other than running away with a year’s worth of their profits, he found nothing that would show the manager in a bad light. Everything in the hotel seemed to be working like a well oiler machine. He was grateful for that but also apprehensive. Things that went your way in the beginning teneded to go badly later.

Placing the bottle aside, he went back to hitting the punching bag. That was when he felt someone staring at him. With a frown, he looked around the gym but it was empty. Shaking his head, he called out," Jack. Whats with the ogling? Admiring the view.

His assistant stepped out from behind the door with a grin and leaned against the doorframe," Oh please. Don’t flatter yourself. You’re not my type. My husband is much better looking that your lean self. And I like big muscles on my men."

"Hey! How can you hurt my pride like this? What if I get an inferiority complex? Who will pay for my therapy sessions?"

Jack snorted," The day a Frost would have inferiority complex, the world will probably freeze over. You guys think too much of yourselves to feel inferior to anyone."

"I’ll take that as a compliment, Jack. Thanks."

"See. It wasn;t meant as a compliment. More like a complaint or even fact. But did you realize that? No. You take things as if they are your due." fгeewebnovёl.com

"Oohh. Jack seems to be in a mood. You had a fight with your husband?"

"No. I didn’t. I’m just... Gabe, you are the one in a mood. Do you not understand what you are doing to yourself? You’ve hardly slept any time and here you are again. And we may be boss and assistant, but you are more than that to me. Don’t you know it?"

Gabe stopped punching the bag and sighed, turning around to look at Jack. The kid looked on the verge of crying. Grabbing the towel, he wiped the sweat off his body and grabbed a tank top from his bag pulling it on a single flick. Before he could say more, however, a loud crashing sound echoed over the place, causing both the men to turn their head to look at the person who caused th mayhem.

Autumn cursed her timing. Dam* it! She’d come to introduce herself to the new manager, hoping to put a good impression on him before she ended her shift. That would hopefully increase her chances of using her good education on something more than cleaning up things.Instead she has stumbled upon him boxing... shirtless. There was no other word for it. Mr. manager was hot... Movie star hot. Totally built like her favourite Jeon Jungkook...

Fearing being caught and guilty towards her fiance, she’d quickly slipped into the locker room, hoping to see him when he was done. There was still an hour for the shift to end. But then she’d fallen asleep. She’d woken up suddenly and realized that thirty minutes had passed since she’d come here. Thanking the fates that she had not been caught sleeping on the job, she quickly grabbed her cleaning cart and moved outside... only to stumble into a love confession... and now, both the men were looking at her.

Dam* it! She bowed her head and hurriedly apologized," I am sorry. I didn’t mean to disturb you. I am deeply sorry for ruining this moment. I was about to finish my shift and..." She then turned to the man at the door and apologized again," I did not know you would be confessing your love! I am sorry."

Gabe couldn’t help but grin at her assumption and apology while the sadness on Jack’s face had turned into horror. Jack’s husband was a possessive bas**** and if he knew that someone thought Jack had a thing for him... Sigh...Poor jack. It would be so fun to use this...

Suppressing his chuckle, he decided to alleviate the poor woman’s tension. Walking to her, he glanced at her name tag and reassured her," Miss Autumn. There is no need to apologize. You didn’t interrupt anything."

Autumn looked up at him then. In that moment, he couldn’t help but be taken aback. The woman.. no the girl had eyes like Bambi the deer. Big and innocent. Her cheeks were red from embarrassment and the girl looked as if she’d walked out of a manga. What a little beauty. He felt a little tug at his heart when she looked almost ready to cry.

She lowered her head again and stared at him wide eyed," Thank you,Mr Manager, I mean... Mr Frost. I really didn’t mean to intrude. I apologize again."

Such an earnest little thing. He chuckled finally andgently patted her shoulder, " Its alright Autumn. No need to apologize so much.. Now, why don’t you go ahead and finish up your shift?"

Relieved she quickly hurried off, her cleaning cart rattling behind her as she disappeared into the locker rooms. Gabe watched her go for a moment, feeling something but before he could check out what it was, Jack finally found his voice," I am not confessing to him! I don’t love him. I was just trying to tell him that he is my mentor and saviour so I worry for him."

Gabe laughed at that and teased Jack," Its your fault for making her misunderstand. Who are you trying to convince now?"

Jack stared at the doorway where the girl had disappeared and accused," Its all your fault, Gabe Frost! I need to...."

"Its yours! Who told you to be such a worry wart, Jack. Come on. Lets have some breakfast."
