Half an hour later, Chace brings her back home.
He leads Jessie into the house and says to her, "I've got things to deal with in Yorkshire, so I can't come often. Call me if you need anything. If you want to go anywhere, tell the servant. I've paid a high price for her to take care of you, so don't think it will be troublesome, OK?"
"I see." Jessie follows him in.
She touches the shoe cabinet beside her. Just as she is about to change shoes, Chace stops her. "Let me do it for you."
Chace takes off the flats on her feet and puts on cotton slippers for her.
Jessie feels embarrassed. She wants to say thank you, but she is afraid that Chace will be unhappy. She purses her lips and asks him, "Your company is also in Yorkshire. Do you know HS Company?"
She hasn't contacted Lily since she has arrived in Country Y.
"I do. It's a cosmetics company." After Chace changes her shoes, he changes into his own slippers. "Recently, a big event has happened in HS Company. You probably don't know."
"What's that?"
"In Yorkshire is HS Company's branch. They changed a new CEO and a vice president a few months ago. The new CEO is of mixed race. He is going to get married to the vice president, Lily, and just as they went into church ... Guess what?"
Chace clicks his tongue and says excitedly, "Mr. Smith actually goes to take the bride away! Holy shit, I was really shocked at that time. I know there have been rumors about Lily and Mr. Smith's relationship, but what Mr. Smith did is far beyond expectation."
Jessie exclaims in shock.
After she lost her sight, she barely listened to news channel and didn't even know about this big event.
So Lily and John almost got married.
After a while, she asks Chace, "What happened next? Did they get married?"
"Mr. Smith was there, how could they get married anyway?" As Chace speaks, he can't help but sigh, "The PR of the Smith Group is so amazing. They sealed off all the information within a few hours so few people knew about it."
He asks Jessie curiously, "Why are you asking me about HS Company? Do you have friends working there?"
"Yes." Jessie replies vaguely. She is absent-minded and because she is blind, she does not notice the steps, and suddenly she kicks it and pounces forward.
Chace is right beside her. When he sees that she is about to fall, he quickly reaches out and hugs her waist, bringing her into his arms.
Her head hits his chest, causing him to hiss in pain.
"I, I'm sorry." Jessie apologizes in panic.
She doesn't know where she has hit him. As she can't see him, she waves her hand in the air, trying to touch him, and says, "Where did I hit you? Does it hurt?"
Chace grabs her hand.
Feeling the warmth of her hand, Chase feels that his heart has skipped a beat, so he quickly lets go of it. "I'm fine," he says, coughing, "There's a staircase here. You didn't notice it just now. But, luckily, you didn't get hurt."
At this time, the servant comes downstairs and happens to see Chace and Jessie at the entrance.
"Sir, madam, welcome back." The servant sees the shopping bag in Chace's hand, smiles and says, "Sir, you should take madam out for a walk more often as she's so bored at home."
Chace has been used to the titles anyway. He says, "But I'm busy with my work, so I may need you to take care of her and take her out for walks."
"Yes, sir." The servant nods and says to Jessie, "Madam, your pajamas are ready."
"Alright, thank you."
Jessie tells Chace that she will go upstairs first. Then she waves her hands in the air to find the direction before slowly walking towards the stairs.
Chace wants to help her, but he is afraid that it will hurt her self-esteem.
Seeing her find the handrail and slowly walks upstairs, Chace feels pitiful for her. He wonders why such a beautiful woman will be blind. It is too unfair.
