Escort? President! novel Chapter 46

Just as she was browsing through every entry in a recruitment website, her mobile phone rang suddenly.

Felicity was scared; she took out the mobile phone to have a look and found that it was David calling.

She thought of the time when Lucas was embarrassing her and David stepped up to help. Felicity picked up the call.

"Felicity, hi! How have you been?"

David asked her in a cautious tone.

"I’m doing fine. How did you call?"

Felicity held back all the negative emotions. She did not want to appear too weak, or to let others know how coward she was.

"If you are free, can you meet me for a bit? There's something I want to hear your opinion about."

She had already resigned and had absolutely nothing to do, so she agreed to meet him.

In Felicity's opinion, David was different from Lucas.

He was also rejected by her, but unlike Lucas he decided to be a decent human being about it and chose to silently guard her as a friend; while Lucas decided to bully and take revenge for rejecting him.

Because of that, her impression of David became a little more favorable.

However, he was just as a friend.

The two met at a small pub near Felicity’s residence.

The rumors about that night were very strong in nature. After greeting her, the first thing David asked her in a concerned voice was, "What happened that night?"

That night was indeed the most dramatic one in the history of JC University.

First, Lucas was expelled, and the Branson Group suddenly announced that they would be moving out of JC City. Then, Anne and the other two, with the signs in the campus ground, made a huge fool of themselves.

"They were targeting me. But, fortunately, the president of the Reed Group, Jason Reed came forward to help me."

Felicity roughly described that day’s situation to David.

"Was that really that powerful and rich president of the Reed Group, Jason Reed, who helped you?”

David was a little shocked at first, so he asked again.

"Yes."

Felicity nodded.

When Felicity confirmed it herself, David couldn’t help but feel a little bitter unpleasantness in his heart.

His lips raised in a wry smile, as he said to Felicity, "Felicity, Congratulations!"

Felicity was taken aback for a moment, not understanding what he meant. Then a self- deprecating smile appeared on her face as she said, "There’s nothing between us. Don't misunderstand. He just helped me. Between us… It's impossible."

There was a spark in David’s eyes, but it soon faded down.

"By the way, what did you want to ask me?"

Felicity remembered that David asked her out to ask her opinion about something.

"My family wants me to study abroad..."

"Wow! That sounds great. It would be a great learning opportunity! It’s a pity that I’d never have this kind of opportunity in my life.”

Hearing Felicity’s encouraging tone, David’s heart broke a little.

It looked like she didn't need him in her life.

Before he asked Felicity out tonight, David had already thought about it. If he could, he wanted to stay beside her and take care of her.

But hearing her tone, he felt like he thought too much into it.

The words of confession that he had prepared… He swallowed them back quietly.

To ease the embarrassment, David called the waiter and ordered their drinks.

At that moment, Felicity's mobile phone rang.

It was Jason.

But just like when she first came to the pub, Felicity quickly rejected the call.

David who saw everything couldn't help asking, "Why didn’t you pick it up?"

"It's nothing. Just spam call."
