Boss's Sweet Secretary novel Chapter 16

"Jennifer, the reason I came back from abroad is actually..." He squatted down, bending his long legs, not caring about the differences between them.

His voice was pleasant as ever, hoarse and emotional, just like when he was singing on stage.

When their fingers touched, the coldness made Jennifer withdraw her hand back instinctively. She avoided his gaze and stood up in a panic. "It... It's already very late. I think I should go."

"Jennifer..." The moment she passed by, Jackson grabbed her wrist and didn't want to let her go. "You came to my concert, doesn't it mean that there's still something between us?"

"I..." Jennifer was speechless for a moment. After some hesitation, she said slowly, "I didn't know you are Jackson Davis."

Indeed, Jackson Davis was not his real name.

How could she had known that the boy from her wild and carefree teenage years was now a world-renowned singer?

"So, if you had known earlier, would you have... come?" He asked her in a serious manner.

Jennifer hesitated for a while and shook her head. "I don't know..."

Maybe, but she would have come as a friend.

Nothing more.

The night sky was getting darker outside the window, she dared not stay any longer. On one hand, she was afraid that Hans would be angry. On the other hand, she was afraid of gossips.

Things were different now, the man in front of her was a superstar in the entertainment industry. If she got too close to him, they would surely become the talk of the town.

"I really have to leave." Jennifer tried to get out of Jackson's grip.

However, he still stubbornly grabbed onto her hand and didn't want to let go. After a long hesitation, Jackson's opened his thick, red lips and said, "I'll give you a ride."

Jennifer frowned. She wanted to refuse, but he continued to say, "It's not safe to take a taxi at night. I will be worried if you go home alone."

She debated internally but she finally relented when she met his gaze.
