Chapter 160
Linda continued, “Therefore, he deserves a woman as good as he is.”
Gilda immediately got what Linda meant.
However, Gilda did not expect that as an assistant, Linda would say something like this. She sneered, “Linda, are you interfering in your boss’s private life? That crosses the line, doesn’t it?”
Linda didn’t expect Gilda to be so straightforward, but in that case, she no longer needed to have any qualms about it. Linda said in a serious voice, “Ms. Lynch, I’m doing this for Mr. Moore’s benefit. After all, if you and Mr. Moore become a couple, there will be a lot of gossip. Ms. Lynch, you may not care what people say about you, but what about Mr. Moore? What about him?”
As soon as she finished her words, Jackson went back with the pastries.
He opened the door and sensed the tension in the car. Then he looked at Gilda with concern and asked, “What’s wrong?”
It had to be said that Gilda felt that Linda’s words made sense.
Her family thought she and Jackson would be a good match, but they ignored what Jackson thought of her. Gilda suddenly felt a little deflated and cringed.
Gilda shook her head toward Jackson.
Gilda answered calmly, “Nothing. I was just talking to Linda.”
Linda had thought Gilda would tell Jackson about their conversation, but Gilda said nothing, which surprised her a little. She smiled, “Mr. Moore, I have a feeling I’ll be good friends with Ms. Lynch.”
Jackson ignored Linda’s words and asked Gilda again, “Really?”
Gilda hid her embarrassment and snapped, “What are you thinking about? We gotta go! Aunt Helen is still waiting for us!”
Only then did Jackson instruct Linda to drive to Foothill Lake Villas.
When the car pulled up in the courtyard of the villa, Helen was already waiting at the door. Seeing Gilda, she walked up with a bright smile on her face and said, “Gilly, you are finally here!”
Gilda threw herself into Helen’s arms and pouted, “Aunt Helen, I miss you too!”
Helen was pleased by Gilda’s words. She laughed, “I saw several pieces of jewelry when I was shopping, and they were like made for you! Don’t forget to take them with you.”
“Wow! Thank you, Aunt Helen!” Gilda exclaimed.
Helen said sincerely, “Oh Gilda, you know you never have to say thank you to me.”
Chapter 160
They were very intimate, just like a mother and daughter, while Jackson beside them was completely ignored by Helen.
Linda was even more surprised when she realized that Gilda was so close to Helen.
Linda was a little embarrassed that she had just bragged in front of Gilda that she and Helen were close.
Linda put on a smile and greeted Helen cordially, “Mrs. Moore!”
