Chapter 89 Gratitude
James held Gail in his arms and shook her. "All right, all right. I was wrong. Let's get down to business. How do you want to handle it?"
Gail's smile faded. "Melissa has a good father. Even if you can grab evidence on her, what can you do? Offending her father will do no good to your business."
"When do I have to take care of her father? Do you think I'm the kind of person who needs to see her father's face?" James was looking at Gail with his charming eyes.
"Oh, you are right. You are the CEO of the RF Group! But I can't think of any punishment now. After all, she failed several times. Melissa did that because of you. Since you have found evidence, I just hope that such a thing will not happen again. I was lucky for three times because God pitied me, but I didn't want this to happen again. I don't know whether she will agree or not." Gail didn't know what happened between her and Melissa. What hurt her most was that Melissa wanted to take her innocence and even disfigure her face! If Melissa dared to do that again, Gail had to threaten her.
"You just let her go? Anyway, she will not trouble you any more. I've warned her that if she dares to keep harassing you, she'll be killed on the street!" James said lightly, as if he was saying something ordinary. "Really? Isn't it too cruel?" His calm tone made Gail's heart sink.
"This is the greatest mercy for her. I'm going to throw her into a madman's hospital or a psychiatric hospital. But it's very troublesome, and I have to spend money on it."
"Okay. I'll go there to have a look." Sensing she had been sitting on his laps, Gail made an excuse to leave.
"Why don't you sit here? This is your special seat. Other people won't have this honor." James let Gail sit there steadily as if he had seen through her mind.
"Well, I'm not used to sitting here. It will be more comfortable for me to sit on a chair."
"Hey, it took me a lot of efforts to help you find out what was going on. Don't you thank me?" James held Gail's thin and well-shaped shoulders, trying to protect her.
He found that she was not comfortable, so he put her on the ground and took her out of the arbor.
What happened today was unreal. Gail started to waver. She couldn't think of a way to thank him to show her sincerity. She knew that he had to deal with a lot of things in work since he had taken over the company only for one year. But he not only helped her find out what happened that day, but also gave her such a huge dreamlike garden. Her heart began to palpitate and feel restless.
"What thanks do you like? Be serious. After all, my ability is limited, so I can't offer you anything you want to thank you." Gail thought over it again and believed that was more reliable.
James stopped, looked into Gail's eyes and gently stroked her face. "I only want you."
Hearing what he said, Gail's face turned red. She protested, "Stop! I'm serious. How could you..."
"I'm serious. I did all these things because I want you to be with me. Even if I can't be with you, I want your heart to be with me, not anyone else. Gai, I want you to be my girlfriend." With that, James took out a limited edition hand-made bracelet and knelt in front of Gail.
Gail exclaimed and took a step back. However, there was a small pool behind her and she could fall into it with a small step.
With his sharp eyes and quick hands, James quickly stood up and grabbed her arm. But as a result, the stone under his foot slipped and both of them fell into the water.
In James's bedroom, he took a shower and changed into a casual outfit. When Gail came out in her bathrobe, she found that the wardrobe was empty, not even for men's clothes.
A discreet knock sounded.
"Come in." She knew it was James. Although she didn't want to see him right now, she couldn't always wear a bathrobe.
James opened the door and came in with four boxes in his hands.
"Do you have any other clothes for me? Because you push me into the water, you should be responsible for it!" Gail stepped back when she saw him.
"Here you are. This is it." James then put the four boxes in Gail's arms and said, "And it was you who fell into the water, not me who pushed you. I'm not a monster! Why are you standing back? Am I scary?" Gail looked down at the delicate boxes, looked up and asked, "What are they?"
"Open it." James waited expectantly for Gail to open the boxes and he believed that she would be satisfied.
Gail opened the first box and saw a light yellow long dress, which was in a graceful style.
So she showed it in front of her, and it turned out to be perfect. "Is this what you asked someone to choose? Prepared for me?"
"Who else would make me so concerned about her except you? Do you like it? I think the other clothes also fit you." James was relieved to see Gail's eyes glowing with surprise.
As Gail carefully opened the second box, she saw a long brown camel windbreaker, which looked comfortable. How did he know that this camel color coat was the best one to wear. And the brands he chose were all limited editions abroad, which she had never heard of. It was the first time that she had received such a special gift. She looked at him with unbelievable eyes. It had been only a month since they last met. How could he become so considerate and so fawning on the girls?
The third box turned out to be...
"I was going to give it to you when you came to my house next time, but you fell into the water today. I think this one fits you well. If you don't like it, there are other colors. Which one do you like? I'll have someone send it here later. They are all your size. You can take them when you decide." James sat on the bedside and observed the changing expressions in Gail's eyes with satisfaction.
"This is enough. I should buy clothes by myself." Gail turned around, head still in a mess, and her heart was in a mess.
Even between the girls, they would not treat it so naturally, not to mention that they were only... Not familiar...
Gail opened the last box in a hurry, but she covered her mouth in surprise the next second.
A pair of exquisite blue goose top high heels, and a pair of casual shoes, which matched the dress very much. Most importantly, his way didn't seem to appear in the movie, though it was romantic enough. But the fact that he knew to prepare a pair of well-dressed casual shoes really hit her sore spot.
