"Is the school over? When will you go back?" Jackson asked casually as he remembered that it was winter vacation soon.
"I may go back around the Spring Festival. After all, I'm working here." Gail wanted to make more money and go home to buy more things to Grandpa. He hadn't eaten well for a long time.
James stared at Gail's side face and thought, 'Right. She's going back home for new year. Would he miss her if Gail went back? Before the Spring Festival, James thought he should speed up and confess his love to Gail successfully.
When they arrived at the restaurant, Gail restrain herself and ignored James' presence. Jackson was here to see Mr. James, but why did Jackson ask her to come with him!
Staring at the well behaved Gail, who was in silence, Jackson picked up his glass and said, "Hi, Gail, long time no see. Cheers!"
Hearing Jackson's voice, Gail raised her head and took a look at James. She then raised her glass and was about to drink with him.
Holding her wrist, James looked at Jackson and said, "she can't drink. Let me drink with you."
"I don't think it's a good idea to protect your secretary like this. She only needs to take a sip. What else can I do to her if you are around?" Looking at the nervous expression on James' face, Jackson couldn't help teasing him.
"She will be not feeling well. She can't drink." Raising the glass, James looked at Jackson casually.
Looking at Gail and then at James, Jackson clinked his glass with James and said, "great! How could you remember her days so clearly? Is it possible that..." Jackson glanced at the two people in front of him with his lustful eyes. It was meaningful.
Upon hearing it, Gail was so embarrassed that she picked up the fork to poke the meat in the plate. Thinking of how embarrassed she was last night, she didn't want to be too close to James.
When James saw how much she wanted to bury her head in the plate, he patted her on the back and asked, "are you okay?"
Gail hurriedly sit up "No, he didn't. please don't get us wrong. I just made a fool of myself and he saw me, ha. ha. Mr. Jackson."
With a smile, James added, "can't I know your menstrual period? Gai, you don't have to explain to Jackson. He is a prodigal. He knows it better than anyone else. "
"……" Gail wanted to jump out of the window, if James could not just skip the subject! She was not a prodigal.
During the meal, all what Gail wanted to do was to escape and go to work. It seemed that the free lunch was not so yummy. If Melissa knew this, there would be rumors. When Gail was going back, she wanted to get off the car far away from the company.
Gail hadn't paid much attention to James before. But as time passed by, everyone could see how he had taken care of her. She overheard some gossips in the restroom. They said that she was Mr. James' mistress or that she was trying to marry a rich guy because of her pretty face.
Now she was not a fool. She thought she should pay attention to something. The unkind looks of others made her feel uncomfortable. After the dinner, Jackson left. When the driver sent them back, she found that James seemed to stare at her all the time. She didn't know what to do.
"Let me get off here. I want to buy something." When they were about to arrive at the company, Gail hurriedly called out.
The car stopped slowly. James took her by the hand. "What are you going to buy? Why are you acting so mysteriously. "
"The old coffee cup is broken. I'll buy one." Gail made up a random excuse. Anyway, it was better not to be too obvious.
"I also need to change my cup. I'll go with you." As he spoke, James opened the car door and got out.
"……" Didn't James see that she acted like this because she didn't want to be too close to him?
