For a moment, Victoria's feet seemed to be nailed to the ground. She stood there motionless.
She calculated in her mind that if Jack had a crush on someone for more than ten years, then he had been crushing on her since she was a student.
So long ago.
Victoria couldn't describe how she felt. She was so hungry at first, but now she didn't even want to eat.
On the one hand, she wants to find out who Jack likes.
On the other hand, she thinks, no, given Jack's conditions, he has been in love with that girl for more than ten years. If the girl doesn't like him, is she considered blind?
But Carl's melancholy and plaintive tone didn't sound like a joke.
It can be seen that Jack really has someone he has liked for more than ten years and has not caught up with her.
Victoria originally wanted to hear Carl say more, but he only said this sentence and changed the topic to other things, not talking about Jack's secret love.
Victoria was so anxious that he can't even finish his sentences, it's driving her crazy!
It so happened that Arnold had finished his meal and stood up from his seat. When he turned around, he saw that Victoria had come to the restaurant. He waved quickly, "Are you here to eat? Come on, come on!"
When Arnold waved, Carl also saw Victoria and glanced behind her, "Where's Jack? Didn't he come with you?"
"He has a work call to handle." Victoria replied.
"That's okay, he will be here soon. Victoria, today's crystal shrimp dumplings are particularly delicious! I wonder if there is a different chef. You must try it! It's better than yesterday. It tastes so much better!”
Victoria was not in the mood to eat now. She walked over and sat down at the dining table. After struggling for two seconds, she couldn't help but ask, "Carl, you just said..."
Carl was very enthusiastic, serving tea and pouring water. Victoria stopped mid-sentence and Carl asked hurriedly, "What was it?"
Arnold also looked at her.
Victoria stared blankly at the gossipy eyes of these two people. She suddenly felt that it would be better to ask Jack himself about this matter.
That's right, it's better to ask him directly.
"Ahmm. It’s nothing." Victoria stood up as if nothing had happened. "You guys eat first. I'll go back to find Jack."
After speaking, she turned around and left the hotel restaurant.
Carl scratched his head in confusion. Why did she leave without eating?
What did she want to ask him just now?
Victoria returned to the room and saw Jack still on the phone, talking in professional business terms.
Seeing her coming back, Jack raised his eyebrows in surprise and asked her with his eyes, 'Aren't you hungry? Why did you come back without eating?'
Victoria took out her phone, typed a line in the memo, and then raised the screen to show him—
[I have something to ask you.]
After Jack read the memo, he raised his eyes and glanced at Victoria, nodded slightly, and accelerated the work report on the phone.
Victoria walked to the bed and sat down, looking at the man standing by the window answering the phone.
The man was wearing a clean white shirt, with the cuffs rolled up to his elbows, revealing his beautiful forearms. The blue veins were obvious on his fair skin, exuding a sexy and sultry aura for no reason, which was both seductive and enticing to the eyes, making her heart beat loudly.
The early morning sunlight poured on him through the window, making him look more and more like a jade. Every move he made revealed his dignity, elegance and calmness.
Victoria stared at him from head to toe. Her eyes couldn't help but fall on the man's handsome, god-like face that captivated everyone.
From the exquisite brow bones to the high bridge of the nose, her eyes finally rested on the man's thin lips that opened and closed when he spoke.
She has to admit that his lips are very beautiful, thin but not full, with a light cherry color.
It looks very friendly.
Victoria's head was out of control, and she suddenly remembered the feeling when the two of them kissed.
The man's lips looked cold and thin, but they were soft and seductive when kissed...
Victoria came back to her senses and realized what she was thinking. Her cheeks felt hot, and her whole face was like a rose that had been exposed to the sun, red and hot.
She raised her hand and slapped herself on the face.
