Chapter 293 You care about me
A doubt niggled at Sarah.
Why did Mr. Noth and Chris react like this after they heard about Jason's illness?
She was a little confused. Looking at Jason who kept silence all the time, sh turned to Chris and asked, "Why do you ask me that?"
"I just feel it kind of unreal." Said Chris.
"He really lost his memory." Sarah said affirmatively. "I observed him carefully after I took him back. It doesn't seem like he is pretending."
Jason would be a remarkable actor if the amnesia was his disguise.
He might control his eyes, expressions, and words to cover his real thoughts, but some instinctive actions and reactions were totally different. His disguise couldn't be so seamless. After having a talk with Mr. Noth, she tested his behavior, nothing strange.
Subconsciously, Chris cast a scrutinizing glance at Jason.
Jason frowned at him.
Why was he staring at him? Didn't he know it was impolite to stare at someone like this?
"Jason, I..." Sarah still wanted to have a talk with him.
"Yes, sister." said Jason. Sarah had his undivided attention.
As Jason's words came out, Chris's eyes went as wide as saucers. His boss called Sarah sister?
"Let me introduce him to you." Sarah wanted Jason to get familiar with some acquaintances. "This is your former secretary called Chris. You trust him very much. You two get along well with each other."
"My secretary?" said Jason, tilting his head.
He was like a newcomer to this world. He was completely at a loss and had no idea what a secretary was.
After a pause, Sarah gave the simplest explanation, "He is responsible for managing your schedule and doing the work you give him. But you don't have to worry about it. You only need to
keep in mind that he has a good relationship with you."
"I'll keep that in mind." said Jason, nodding obediently.
His childish answer really was a blow to Chris.
There were a series of questions in his mind.
His boss had always been determined and indifferent!
But now! He was as meek as a baby lame!
"Do you want to go to the company with him?" suggested Sarah.
Jason clenched his hands and lost in his turbid thoughts again.
Was sister Sarah going to leave him behind?
He pursed his lips in distress. Then he asked in a low voice expectantly, "Could I say no?"
"Sure." Sarah noticed the abrupt change in his emotion. Maybe she shouldn't press him to accept so many new things in one sitting
"Just a suggestion. It's up to you."
"I don't want to go with him." Jason summoned the courage to express his opinion.
"Then do you want to stay here with Chris or go back with me?"
"Go back with you!"
Jason blurted out without hesitation.
His eagerness drew Chris's gaze again.
Chris had a reason to suspect that his boss was pretending! He didn't get amnesia at all since he stuck Mrs. Yeats like glue!
Seeing that Jason was determined, Sarah asked Chris something about Jason and then went to pack up his luggage.
Chris wanted to help, but seeing that there was nothing he could do, he came to sit next to Jason, saying, "Hey, boss."
Jason turned to him.
His bright eyes were much colder than in front of Sarah. "You are calling me?"
"There are only two of us now. Drop your act." Chris wanted to sound it out. "How long are you going to pretend to be a child? Do
you need my help?"
Jason looked at him as if he was looking at a fool.
Sarah said he used to be an adult, now he became like a child
because he was sick.
But... Would he really hire this seemingly stupid person in front of
him as his secretary?
"What?" Chris was kind of confused under Jason's steady gaze.
Although his boss's former oppressive and imposing temperament was gone, he could still made people feel uneasy.
"Can you stay away from me?" Jason asked
"Ha?" Chris couldn't tell if Jason had lost his memory or not.
"Boss, just put it bluntly! Are you afraid of being discovered by
Miss Yeats?"
"No."
"Then what is it?"
"It's said that being stupid is infectious. I don't want to be like you."
After saying that, he stood up and walked towards the bedroom. He came to the side of Sarah who was packing his clothes and supplies.
