"Yes, but my size is different from yours ..." Isabella wondered if this was really a good idea.
"What's wrong with that? It's just one night. It'll be fine." Rae burped, but couldn't resist opening another packet of chips.
There was a knock on the door.
It was Jensen who came in.
Jensen was holding a plate of fruit, among which there were mostly pears. Isabella watched him and immediately understood that Jensen was deliberately making them for Rae to eat. After all, every time she came, Rae liked to eat chips while talking to her. Seeing how warm Jensen was, Isabella suppressed the sourness that emerged from her heart. It seemed that Jensen was much kinder to Rae than she had imagined, and she couldn't help but be a little jealous.
And when Rae remembered how stingy Jensen was, she felt unpleasant. She lay down with the chips in her arms and deliberately rolled over to face the wall, leaving her back to Jensen, and then crunched on the chips.
Jensen caught her movement and wanted to laugh but held back. He put down the fruit plate and said, "Take it."
"Thanks, Jensen," Isabella said politely.
"My pleasure." Jensen glanced at Rae again before closing the door behind him and going out.
When Jensen left, Rae sat up from the bed and fiddled with her long hair.
Isabella bit into the crisp and sweet pear and mentioned it as if she didn't mean it, "By the way, Rae, I heard that Karina is going to be interning at Knight Group soon, and it's a position directly connected to Jensen."
"..." Rae paused as she stuffed chips into her mouth, then quickly recovered and said, pretending to be careless, "Is there no position for her in the company of Clark Group? Why they had to throw her to the Knight Group’s."
"You can't say throw. I heard that Jensen's father arranged it on purpose. After all, everyone thinks Karina is going to marry Jensen in the future, so they want to let the two of them get close to each other while they ..." Isabella finished speaking before realizing that it was inappropriate for her to say that, so she spoke up, "Rae, I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said that in front of you."
"What's wrong with that? I can't get in the way of the person he wants to marry, and it’s none of his business that who I will marry in the future." Rae took a piece of pear and put it in her mouth. She took a bite and frowned, "Hey, the merchant said he wouldn't charge for the pear if it wasn't sweet. Why is it so sour?"
Sour?
Isabella took another bite and just found it very sweet.
After a while, Isabella said she had something to do and had to go first. Rae walked her to the door, said goodbye, and then looked at the clock on the wall. Seeing that it was almost time, she turned around and went to the study. She didn't know what she was upset about, but she deliberately stomped on the floor as she walked, "Hey, I'm going to the market. What do you want to eat tonight?"
"Don't your feet hard?" Seeing her bare feet again and stomping hard on the wooden floor of the study, Jensen was helpless, "Why do you always leave your shoes on?"
"I'm hot. You're annoying." Rae didn't know why she was getting irritated for no reason. The more she looked at him, the more irritated she felt. She said, "Hurry up. Tell me what you want to eat."
"Whatever." Jensen wondered why she was suddenly angry.
Rae pouted. She hated that answer.
She turned and was about to change clothes when the man behind her spoke up again.
"Come here," Jensen asked.
Rae walked straight to him without a word.
Jensen pulled open a drawer and pulled out a checkbook, then grabbed a pen and filled in some information before tearing it out and handing it to her, "Here you go. Buy some designer clothes for your reunion."
Rae immediately smiled, forgetting the unpleasantness she had just felt. She took the check and put it close to her nose to sniff it. The smell of money was really the best, but she still complained, "How could you eavesdrop on me? How shameless you are!"
"Don't you dare say you don't like that I'm shameless?" Seeing that she was happy, the smile on Jensen's face grew wider.
"Well ... just wait. I'll cook something delicious for you tonight!" Rae took the check and left the apartment jumping with joy.
There was a supermarket near the apartment where she lived.
Rae pushed the cart and slowly strolled through the fresh food section. Jensen liked to eat fish, and she was too lazy to make it. However, she had just received such a large check from him, so she wanted to treat him to a fish, and Rae pushed the cart slowly in front of the fish tank. A little girl's voice came from the front, "Mom, what's the name of this fish?"
"Fish don't have names, only species." The little girl's mother explained.
"Then why do people have names?" The little girl asked again.
The little girl's mother was obviously baffled by the question.
Rae couldn't resist and went over to talk to her, "Listen, fish don't have names when they're alive, but they have many names when they're dead. For example, steamed fish, pickled fish, braised fish, sweet and sour fish, fried fish ..."
