Chapter 33 Confusion
"Is the school over? When will you go back?" Jackson asked casually as he remembered that it was winter vacation soon.
"I may go back around the Spring Festival. After all, I'm working here." Gail wanted to make more money and go home to buy more things to Grandpa. He hadn't eaten well for a long time.
James stared at Gail's side face and thought, 'Right. She's going back home for new year. Would he miss her if Gail went back? Before the Spring Festival, James thought he should speed up and confess his love to Gail successfully.
When they arrived at the restaurant, Gail restrain herself and ignored James' presence. Jackson was here to see Mr. James, but why did Jackson ask her to come with him!
Staring at the well behaved Gail, who was in silence, Jackson picked up his glass and said, "Hi, Gail, long time no see. Cheers!"
Hearing Jackson's voice, Gail raised her head and took a look at James. She then raised her glass and was about to drink with him.
Holding her wrist, James looked at Jackson and said, "she can't drink. Let me drink with you."
"I don't think it's a good idea to protect your secretary like this. She only needs to take a sip. What else can I do to her if you are around?" Looking at the nervous expression on James' face, Jackson couldn't help teasing him.
"She will be not feeling well. She can't drink." Raising the glass, James looked at Jackson casually.
Looking at Gail and then at James, Jackson clinked his glass with James and said, "great! How could you remember her days so clearly? Is it possible that..." Jackson glanced at the two people in front of him with his lustful eyes. It was meaningful.
Upon hearing it, Gail was so embarrassed that she picked up the fork to poke the meat in the plate. Thinking of how embarrassed she was last night, she didn't want to be too close to James.
When James saw how much she wanted to bury her head in the plate, he patted her on the back and asked, "are you okay?"
Gail hurriedly sit up "No, he didn't. please don't get us wrong. I just made a fool of myself and he saw me, ha. ha. Mr. Jackson."
With a smile, James added, "can't I know your menstrual period? Gai, you don't have to explain to Jackson. He is a prodigal. He knows it better than anyone else."
." Gail wanted to jump out of the window, if James could not just skip the subject! She was not a prodigal.
During the meal, all what Gail wanted to do was to escape and go to work. It seemed that the free lunch was not so yummy. If Melissa knew this, there would be rumors. When Gail was going back, she wanted to get off the car far away from the company.
Gail hadn't paid much attention to James before. But as time passed by, everyone could see how he had taken care of her. She overheard some gossips in the restroom. They said that she was Mr. James' mistress or that she was trying to marry a rich guy because of her pretty face.
Now she was not a fool. She thought she should pay attention to something. The unkind looks of others made her feel uncomfortable. After the dinner, Jackson left. When the driver sent them back, she found that James seemed to stare at her all the time. She didn't know what to do.
"Let me get off here. I want to buy something." When they were about to arrive at the company, Gail hurriedly called out. The car stopped slowly. James took her by the hand. "What are you going to buy? Why are you acting so mysteriously. "The old coffee cup is broken. I'll buy one." Gail made up a random excuse. Anyway, it was better not to be too obvious. "I also need to change my cup. I'll go with you." As he spoke, James opened the car door and got out.
"......" Didn't James see that she acted like this because she didn't want to be too close to him?
Gail reluctantly got off the car, thinking where to buy the coffee cup, she had bought two coffee mugs the other day.
"1
"I know a creative shop ahead. We can go to have a look." Speaking of the familiarity of the neighborhood, he was not as familiar as Gail, but he had seen a creative experience shop before, so he decided to come and see when.
"......" Suddenly, she found something serious. She didn't bring her wallet with her!
But she couldn't refuse him when he said he wanted to buy it. So she had to go with him. If he really didn't like it, she could just say no.
When they entered the creative experience shop, Gail saw many lovely cups, which were exquisitely made.
But they were all very expensive. The store her boss had a fancy for would not be civilian!
Alas, she would not come out if she knew!
"How about this one? Do you like it?" All of a sudden, James picked up a delicate coffee cup, on which there was a cute cat ear and an exquisite spoon. Such a cute Coffee Mug was so cute!
But she couldn't tell him she liked it. Gail shook her head, "no, I don't like it. These are useless."
When James saw that her eyes were shining at first, but she suddenly said that she didn't like it. He inadvertently furrowed his brows.
He picked up another one, which was cuter than the previous one. "What about this one?" he asked.
Staring at the cup, Gail thought it was so cute and lovely, but she didn't want Mr. James to buy her anything else. The price was too expensive for a poor student like her. If one of her colleagues saw it, he would definitely ask her.
"I don't like this kind of cup. You can choose one you like. I remember I have one." With that, Gail gave James a perfect smile.
'she must have some concerns, James thought.
"What do you like? There are other things for sale here, how about this classical music box?" He picked up a beautiful concert box, and with a gentle touch, a beautiful music slowly flew out.
A beautiful saleswoman came over and said, "this is the best music box in our store. It's the best gift for your girlfriend. Don't you like this music box, pretty lady?'
Gail stared at her, dumbfounded. It was really beautiful, music was wonderful.
"Yes, it sounds good, but..." She didn't know how to judge it.
"She is saving money for me. Please pack it for me." James knew what she was thinking and not gave her time to regret.
"Okay, please wait a moment. This is the limited edition of our store. There are not many products in total. Sir, you have a good taste. "Then she looked at Gail and said, "Hey, beauty, don't worry. Your boyfriend is so handsome and he doesn't seem lack of money."
"
." Who said he was Gail's boyfriend?
"Yes, do I look like the kind of person who needs money? If you like this cup, I will buy it for you. " He pointed at the cute kitten cup they had just seen.
"No, thanks. I'm not your girlfriend. You'd better leave me alone." Gail protested in a low voice and clenched her fists, trying to hit him.
James put his hand on her shoulder naturally and said, "pack it up. You see, she still dislikes me as a boyfriend. Just buy one." Then he took out his bank card and handed it to the saleswoman.☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
