As Angela did feel a little sick to her stomach, she took over the porridge and removed the cover.
After eating some porridge, she felt better and it was when James arrived. After getting out of the car, James glanced at the porridge in her hand and her face which still looked a little pale. Then he naturally put his hand on her belly and gently massaged it.
"Why do you eat so late? You know you have a stomach problem."
James sounded a little displeased.
Standing aside carrying the food, Adams looked over James quietly as James was a man of good origin, appearance and strong capability.
James was so excellent that Adams could hardly feel jealous and could only admire and look up at him.
Having heard of those achievements made by James, Adams regarded James as his idol even though James was ten years younger than him.
At the moment, seeing James and feeling the pressure brought by him, Adams was excited and awestruck.
"Oh," said Angela to Adams s she pushed James' hand away, "I'm going, Adams. See you tomorrow."
Hearing the name of Adams, James pinched his lips together and stared into Adams sharply.
Stared at by James, Adams felt more oppressed and was astonished by the powerful aura of James as a big shot.
He smiled stiffly, "See...see you."
Opening the door of the car, Angela got on the front passenger seat and fastened the seat belt.
Angela seldom fastened the seat belt before and James would fasten the seat belt for her each time she didn't fasten it.
But she was not used to being so close to him.
Staring at Adams for a while, James averted his eyes and walked to the car door and got in the car.
The car started and merged with the traffic soon. Adams wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and was relieved.
He had never seen such an oppressing man as James before.
"If you can't take care of yourself, you'll not be allowed to work any more, though I've agreed to allow you to work," said James with displeasure. The lights outside the car dimly shone on his face through the window as it was dark in the car.
Slightly clenching her fists, Angela said, "I'm your girlfriend, not your pet!"
"What's the difference?" said James coolly as he turned his head to stare at her with sharp eyes.
Looking back at him, Angela tried to repress her emotions and said, "I'm an independent person, James. I hope you can respect my ideas and don't make decision for me."
"I can respect your ideas, as long as you take care of yourself," said James as he stepped on the gas and drove in a speed much faster than usual.
Staring at him, Angela said word by word, "I know my own body!"
Taking what she said for granted, James said, "From now on, you'll have breakfast with me before work. I'll pick you up to have lunch in the noon break and you'll have dinner with me at home after work."
"James!" said Angela as she gnashed her teeth.
Swish!
