FULL NOVELXO Chapter 40 Rumor Has It That Mr. James Likes Men.
James took the zipper of her school uniform, pulled it up as high as it would go, covering her collarbone, and was then satisfied. He ordered in a cold voice, "Zip it up from now on!"
"I see."
The school uniform was loose, and when it was zipped up, Kara would have half of her face covered when she shrunk her neck.
Although Uncle James' tone was cold, Kara could tell that he cared about her. Kara was an optimistic girl. She knew James was for her own good.
Back in class, Kara still had time, so she lay down on her desk for a lunch break, but she didn't expect to have a nightmare.
In her dreams, Uncle James lost his temper with her, saying that she was not a good girl and always caused trouble for him.
His handsome face was gloomy and his cold gaze stabbed her. She wanted to apologize, but Uncle James said she was not allowed to say sorry to him. Therefore, she held back her tears and did not dare to speak.
Uncle James' cold voice sounded again. He said if she didn't listen to him, he wouldn't raise her anymore.
"No! I will be good from now on!"
Kara's eyes snapped open. She made sure she wasn't in the villa. A cold sweat broke out on her back, and she was terrified.
Arya looked at Kara's forehead covered in cold sweat and patted her shoulder.
"Kara, are you alright?"
"I had a nightmare." Kara touched her forehead, feeling a headache.
Although this was a nightmare, it reminded Kara. If she disobeyed and annoyed Uncle James, she might be driven out!
"Arya, I'm afraid that one day when I make Uncle James angry, he will ignore me."
Hearing that it was related to James, Arya did not know how to comfort Kara, because she did not know James that well.
"It's said that Mr. James has a bad temper. His means are cruel and his manner is very decisive. Anyone who provokes him will come to no good end. But seeing him in person, I feel that he is not the kind of unreasonable person."
Kara thought back to his indifference towards Kathleen and shook her head. The rumors were not unfounded. When Uncle James lost his temper, it was really terrifying.
"Even if you Uncle James don't want you, I will always be there with you!"
Arya tried to divert Kara's attention. She raised Kara's chin, looking like a playboy.
Kara shook off Arya's hand and rolled her eyes at Arya, "You're going abroad. Don't joke."
Speaking of going abroad, Arya looked out of the window blankly with her fingers interlocked under her chin.
Seeing that Arya had suddenly become depressed, Kara was at a loss and said, "Arya, what happened?"
"Nothing. I only know how to fight and flirt. The worst thing that could happen to me is probably me getting a F." Arya shrugged.
With Arya's casual personality, it was possible that she got F in the exam.
After school, Kara thought that James would come to pick her up, so she ran to the school gate early. But she was informed that Uncle James still had work to do and Nolan was here to pick her up. When Nolan drove, he noticed Kara's silence and tried to find a topic to talk to her.
"Are you stressed about your college entrance exams?"
Kara shook her head and sighed, "With my grades, I won't get good grades even if I'm under pressure."
Nolan stiffened for two seconds. As a top science student in the college entrance examination, he really didn't know how to continue this topic.
"Uncle Nolan, how long have you been with Uncle James?"
"Miss Kara, I'm not with Mr. James!" Nolan gripped the wheel and was nervous.
Mr. James didn't have a girlfriend, so rumors had it that he liked men. Some people suspected that Nolan was with Mr. James.
When James heard this rumor, he teased Nolan, "If I can't find a girlfriend, maybe we could be together."
Nolan was so frightened that he even wanted to quite. Could Mr. James really...?
Regardless of whether Mr. James liked men or not, it was impossible for them to be together. He was straight!
Kara looked at him in confusion. Wasn't Nolan working with Uncle James?
"Uncle Nolan, are you teasing me?"
The corner of Nolan's mouth twitched. Seeing Kara's pure amber eyes and her innocent expression, Nolan finally figured out Kara was only talking about work.
Her words were ambiguous. Therefore, he thought that she was asking him about the relationship he had with Uncle James.
'Uncle James, I've sacrificed too much to work with you. Is it reasonable for you not to raise my salary?'
"Ever since I graduated from graduate school, I have been following Mr. James. It's been nine years."
Nine years ago, Uncle James just started his work at the SA Group. That should be the hardest time to him.
The two of them talked something about James. Nolan couldn't help but say more when he saw Kara's longing gaze staring at him.
Kara had very beautiful eyes. Her amber eyes were clear and bright. When she smiled, she narrowed her eyes like a lazy little kitten. He almost could not help but reach out and rub her little head. Kara returned to the villa, went upstairs to change her clothes, and went downstairs to the kitchen to help.
Although there were not many things she could do, she still had a lot to learn.
After Libby cooked four dishes and one soup, Kara saw that it was getting late, but Uncle James did not come back. She knitted her brows and was somewhat worried.
Looking at Kara's nervous expression, Libby comforted her, "Mr. James often has social calls. He may not be back."
In the past, Mr. James rarely had dinner in the villa. It was only after Kara came to the villa that he came back for dinner.
Kara sat at the dining table and looked at James' seat, wanting to give him a call.
However, she was afraid that she would disturb him. She had no appetite, just biting her chopsticks.
Suddenly, she heard the phone ringing in the living room. Her eyes lit up and she ran to the living room to answer the phone.
Libby had just come out of the kitchen when she saw that Kara had already answered the phone. She smiled helplessly and thought that Kara really relied on Uncle James. Kara glanced at the phone number and nervously pinched the phone line, "Uncle James, have you had dinner?"
"Yes, I just had dinner."
A deep voice rang out through the microphone. Kara bit her thumb and muttered to herself, "Uncle James' voice is really nice."
His voice was simply the most magnetic in the world!
"Sorry, I didn't pick you up because I went back to my grandma's today."
Hearing that he apologized, Kara was shocked. She quickly shook her head, "Uncle James, you're so busy. You don't have to come pick me up."
"Have you had dinner yet?" James changed the topic.
"I'm in the middle of my dinner when I heard your call."
She replied, soft and cute, like a little kitten wagging its little tail.
Kara bit her finger. At noon, Kathleen complained that Uncle James didn't accompany her to visit Zoey. Now, was Uncle James accompanying Kathleen to see his grandma?
"Libby should have cooked quite a few dishes. Help me eat more." James chuckled, obviously in a good mood.
Kara pursed her lips. Was Uncle James happy because he went to see his grandma Kathleen?
"Okay."
Kara looked up at the table, but she had no appetite at all.
"I'm happy. Today, Libby cooked four dishes and one soup. They are all my favorite." Kara raised her voice a little, pretending to be happy.
"Then why are you in a bad mood?"
James was a smart person. From her tone, he could tell Kara was pretending.
