Arrogant Man VS Unyielding Woman novel Chapter 391

"Now that Zed asked you to protect me, my asking you back will just make you fall into an embarrassing situation. So I think it is much better for me to accept the fact of your existence willingly," Jean said in a casual tone. After waiting for a moment, she continued," Do you know why I decided to accept you?"

Toby shook his head heavily. Puzzlement crossed all over his face.

"Toby, I don't know your real relationship with Zed. But I want to warn you that you are sent to protect me hence this is my business. You are invading my privacy. So you should know what kind of thing you can report to Zed and what you can't," said Jean with a serious look.

"I don't understand what you are trying to say. What do you mean? Are you saying I shouldn't report things to Mr. Zed?" Toby asked with an honest look of confusion.

"For example, I will go to the Wen Group today which you shouldn't report to Zed. In short, I don't want you to report to Zed unimportant details."

Jean stared at Toby while she ordered.

Toby was immediately taken aback. Seconds later, he came to his senses and said," My duty is just to ensure your safety and it doesn't include gossiping. So if it doesn't threaten your safety, I will not report and interfere."

"Great." A big smile crept onto Jean's face when she heard Toby's words. In truth, she expected him to defy her. Now she looked at him and said," I admire smart people and you are among them. Toby, you also know that the relationship between me and the people from the Wen family is quite terrible. And it is more than dangerous for me to go to the Wen Group. So I am going to keep you by my side because I really need your protection."

Actually, Jean hadn't found the truth about her mother's death. So she didn't want to fall into trouble again and risk her life before finding out the real cause of that tragedy.

Now that Zed had already sent Toby to protect her, she decided to make good use of him.

"I can understand your meaning. So I will try my best to keep you safe," said Toby respectfully.

Jean nodded to show her contentment for his reply. "Then that's our deal. My safety relies on your protection from now on. It is too late now so I am going to my room and have a good rest. There are a lot of spare rooms and you can choose whichever you like to sleep."

As she finished her words, she yawned while walking toward her room.

The look on her face was totally different from the serious look she had worn a couple of seconds ago.

Toby, on the other hand, remained still with puzzlement on his face. He watched Jean walk into her room and then quickly took out his phone to call Zed.

Quickly, he filled Zed in with what Jean had asked him to do. He also told Zed that she said she needed his protection.

After disconnecting the call, Zed stood in front of the window and stared at the darkness outside. He did nothing but smoked quietly.

He thought to himself, 'Jean, you asked Toby to stand out and protect you. What on earth do you want to do?'

Something seemed to strike Zed as he walked to his writing desk and picked up a phone that was apparently used by a woman. He played with the phone in his hand and suddenly his eyes started to shine.

The next morning, Jean came out looking happy and excited. After a quick wash, she made a simple breakfast for two and asked Toby to sit down and enjoy it with her. Finishing the breakfast, she looked completely energetic.

As she was about to go out, she stopped to look at Toby. "First, I need you to accompany me to the hospital and then we will go to the Wen Group."

"Ok, Mrs. Jean," Toby said in a voice of respect.

"I think that you'd better stop calling me Mrs. Jean. It sounds a little strange, don't you think so?" Jean finished putting on her shoes and looked at Toby before raising such a request.

"Then what should I call you, Mrs. Jean?" Obviously, Toby was amazed at Jean's request so he asked perplexedly.

"Ms. Wen is Ok." Just when she finished her words and opened the door, a familiar figure came into her view. The immediate reaction she could give was to look back at Toby, who was following behind her.

Noticing the gaze on him, Toby felt perplexed and looked ahead, finding that his boss Zed was leaning against the door of an expensive yet low-pitched sports car. Toby's indifferent face now had a small smile playing around its corner.

There was both astonishment and amazement since Toby had not expected that Zed would take such a quick action.
