Desperate Lovers novel Chapter 107

"Okay, I'll invite you into the Dream Club management group in a moment."

Gabriela said as she darted a wink at him.

James tightened his lips, "The guests had negative comments to the Dream Club during this time, so I'll see what the staff says to determine if it's the management or the bottom staff to blame."

"I, the manager, didn’t know that the customers’ response was bad!"

Gabriela covered her mouth, her beautiful eyes widened from surprise, "This is my dereliction of duty, and I'll just talk to the management. You have to deal with a host of problems every day, so there is no need to bother you."

James didn't say anything, and just looked straight at her.

Gabriela didn't dare to make a bad move, "But you're in hospital these days, and probably not that busy. I'll invite you into the group in a moment.

In case they are too frightened to say anything, I won't tell them who you are."

After hearing his consent, Gabriela then nodded and reached for the door.

But when she reached the door handle, she stopped, leaned against the wall and looked at him with a smile, "I think Angela is nice, but it's a pity I'm not a man."

After saying that, without waiting for James to say anything, she opened the door and went out.

The moment the door was closed, James was the only one left in the ward.

He sat for a moment before lying back on his bed, staring at the ceiling as his thoughts whirled uncontrollably.

Two years ago, on September 27th, it was the day before Angela's birthday.

James was surrounded by the management team in the mall, listening to their reports and occasionally entering a store to ask for some specifics.

As he entered a jewelry store, his eyes paused on a pair of rings. Then he walked over to them.

The sales assistant had seen many customers, but it was the first time she had met a group of honoured customers. And the mall manager was even standing at the end of the group, as if he didn't quite have a position in them.

She put on her professional smile and tried to control her excitement as she followed James's line of sight, "You have a good taste. This is a new arrival in our store, made by the famous jewelry master Carlos

Behrman, and in the entire City only..."

James didn't have time for such nonsense, he tapped his finger on the glass cabinet and said succinctly,

“Pack it up for me."

A group of people standing behind him looked at each other in surprise. The boss James had just been in the company for more than two years, and hadn’t made any achievements. But he did like this... His brothers in the Harvey family would rub his nose in this matter at the next meeting!

“OK.”

Thinking about the commission for selling this pair of rings, the sales assistant smiled with her eyes arched and her voice got a little sweeter, "Would you like to look at other styles?

We've got several new arrivals here."

James handed her a black card, "No, thanks."

When the sales assistant saw the black card, her eyes lit up and her attitude became a little more respectful, "You're welcome."

She swiped the card with trembling hands, packed the rings, and handed the package and the black card to him with both hands, "Enjoy your shopping and welcome to your next visit."

James nodded, took the black card and the gift box, and headed out of the store.

Just after leaving the store, his phone vibrated and rang.

The corners of his lips curved up in a small arc. He took out his phone and the corners of his lips fell back when he saw the name, Jessica, then he simply hung up the phone.

Seeing this, the man in the suit standing beside him on his right hand said at an appropriate speed,

"It's near National Day. In addition to the discounts, the mall has scheduled..."

Just after a start, James's phone vibrated and rang again.

James said sorry, took out his phone and looked at the caller ID, frowning slightly and picking up the phone, "What's wrong?"

"James, Angela is drunk. You had better come and pick her up."

Jessica's soft voice was laced with a bit of worry.

James pursed his lips, and a darkness flashed in his eyes, "Where?"
