'Huh? My relationship with Jason?'
Lolita looked at Kendal in a daze, completely unexpected that he would ask such a question.
"Kendal, what do you mean by that?" As she spoke out her thought, her eyes were filled with perplexity. The uneasiness in her heart had been replaced by confusion.
'Isn't Kendal's question strange and boring? Didn't I already talk about that during the meeting? Or did he not hear it clearly at the time?' Thoughts raced through her head in an instant.
"Kendal, Jason is my boss, the boss of our company, and also a very famous jewelry designer. He is my senior. If you ask me about our relationship, we are just boss and employee, senior and junior. What else could there be?" Lolita couldn't help but end up laughing after she finished her words.
She had never expected Kendal to be so gossipy to the point that he would ask her such a silly question.
"Kendal, don't be ridiculous. There is nothing more than that between Mr. Foster and me. What else do you want to know?" Lolita was not afraid to back up her words at all and looked at Kendal with a proud expression on her face.
"Boss and employee, senior and junior? Lolita, do you think I'm blind or stupid? Can you believe it yourself?" Kendal stared into her eyes and asked very seriously.
"Of course, I believe it. I can believe it because this is the truth. Why would I not believe it?" Lolita said with a smile.
A gloomy aura flashed across Kendal's face as he heard those words. "Lolita, have you lost your mind after all those years of studying in France? What kind of boss is so protective of his employees that he even dared to snatch you from me?"
"Snatch me from you?" Lolita couldn't figure out what he meant for a time, but she eventually realized.
"Kendal, don't be so narrow-minded, okay? Mr. Foster didn't snatch me from you. He said that because he didn't know you were my cousin. He stopped after he knew it. Our boss is very kind to every employee in the company. Don't overthink." This time, Lolita gave out a serious explanation.
She realized she should clarify seriously because, with Kendal's wild imagination, he would still be making up his own scenarios in his head. She didn't want him to doubt her relationship with her boss, no matter what he thought.
"Lolita, is it because I'm thinking too much, or you're too stupid to notice that Jason likes you?" Kendal said to Lolita in a serious tone.
Lolita burst out laughing as if she had heard a joke.
"Kendal, our boss is not that idle. He likes me? Can you stop being so stupid?" As she said, Lolita reached out and patted Kendal's shoulder to shake him out of his imagination.
She felt that Kendal's mood was probably not doing well in Antawood. Or else, why would he think about such things?
Moreover, Jason treated her the same way he treated other employees.
Lolita was now more worried that Kendal would seize this chance and use it to force her out of the company.
"Kendal, don't worry. Our boss is very picky. Do you think any girl can attract his attention? Have you seen Vivian? She is a beautiful, elegant, and famous jewelry designer. She has liked our boss for many years. In order to be able to stay with him, she had turned down several work invitations from top jewelry companies. Even if our boss is looking for someone, it should be a beautiful and talented girl like Vivian. Do you understand?" Lolita couldn't stop herself from rapping out those explanations to Kendal.
"Vivian? Isn't she such a bitch?" With such words, it was clear that Kendal's impression of Vivian was not so good. Well, actually very bad.
Kendal believed that Jason would be able to see that Vivian was hostile to other women if only he was not blind. As long as the man was not stupid, he would definitely not like such a woman.
He hoped that Jason would not be a brainless man.
"What bitch? Don't talk nonsense." Hearing Kendal's blunt comment, Lolita didn't know how to react. Although she didn't like Vivian very much, it didn't make her feel good to hear Kendal speaking so harshly o
f Vivian.
"To be honest, compared to her, our Lolita is much better. A man who is not blind knows how to choose,"
Kendal said seriously.
"Kendal, I am your cousin. Of course, you would say that! But I will take it as a compliment. I like it." Lolita's lips curved into a smile as she looked at Kendal.
