Edgar and His Destined Wife novel Chapter 265

Chapter 265 Socializing

Jensen didn’t answer her directly. He lifted his wrist to look at his watch. “It’s time to get off work. There’s a restaurant nearby that’s pretty good. Let’s talk about it while we eat?”

Before Jean could agree, he was already walking out. “I’ll get the car. See you downstairs.” His unconcealed goodwill made it hard for Jean to refuse him. Jean closed the door of her office and walked into the elevator.

Not long after they left, her staff got off work one after the other. But someone used this opportunity to go into Jean’s office. Jensen brought her to a local restaurant. It wasn’t big, but it was lively.

Everyone who was sitting around was from the neighborhood, and they talked about their day to day lives.

“Give us the specialties.” Jensen didn’t have the airs or graces of a rich son. He turned around and had two drinks in his hands.

“Didn’t you just come back?” Jean took a bite. The food was pretty good. “How do you know about this place?”

Jensen laughed. “Let’s eat. We still have to talk about work later.”

Outside the window, there was a camera aimed at the two of them as it snapped away.

Jensen took care of Jean well. Not only was the food up her alley, but his topics of conversation were well thought out. He set the mood without a trace.

“It’s no wonder that you’re so popular among your group of classmates.” This was an honest lament from Jean.

Looking at Jensen, it was as if she was looking at her past energetic self.

“I don’t want to be popular. I only hope that the person I care about can notice me,” he said as he directed his gaze at Jean.

But Jean suddenly felt like something behind her was dazzling, and she turned her head to look at it. She didn’t notice his gaze.

“I think there’s someone there.” Jean furrowed her brows tightly.

When they walked out of the restaurant, she felt like someone was following them. There also seemed to be something flashing past her eyes.

Jensen’s eyes dulled, and the corner of his lips twitched. “You’ve been working the whole day. Maybe you’re too tired and sensitive?”

“Really?”

Jean was still feeling fearful. She stood there and looked over for a long time. She rubbed the bridge of her nose. “Let’s go back to the office.”

When she turned around, Jensen glanced into that corner with a sharp gaze.

The trees in the corner swayed and quickly stopped.

…

That night, Ben brought a contract with him when he came looking for Jean.

“Partner with Ludwig Group.” His eyes were dark. He was like a different person from before.

Jean wanted to accept it at once. No matter how she looked at it, the contract was a good opportunity, but…

“Eyer Group doesn’t have teams who can conduct themselves yet. I’m afraid we will hold you back. Although I’ve recruited some people, they still need to get used to it.”

There was a sliver of a smile on Ben’s face. He reassured her, “There’s always a first for everything. You have to give them a chance. This item is the main focus of our company’s investments next year. Think about it.”

“Alright. Thank you.”

Jean’s smile was bright and beautiful. She knew full well that Ben gave her the item to help her out.

Otherwise, with Ludwig Group’s position, they only needed to wave their hands, and many people would be fighting over their contracts.

“Are you thanking me?” Ben frowned. “Do we have such a formal relationship?”

“We’re partners in the future. I have to be more formal.” Jean smiled.

She said it half-jokingly. Ben couldn’t get angry.

Before he left, he thought of something. After hesitating for a long time, he asked, “Do you distinguish between work and personal matters like this in the office?”

Jean didn’t understand what he meant. “Of course. I’ll take you out for coffee one day.”

Ben smiled and didn’t say anything. He waved and got into the car.
