Jennifer had calmed down a lot but she felt embarrassed for an unknown reason.
Hearing the footstep approaching, Ivan became much gentler too.
Ivan stood up in front of Jennifer’s office and said “Let’s go have a look at Spencer’s club. Finnley said it’s done. The equipment is all ready to work. Let’s call Spencer and go have a look.”
Since it was about Spencer, Jennifer didn’t refuse. “Okay.” It could be seen as part of her work.
Ivan looked at Jennifer, wanting to say something. But he didn’t.
"Then get ready, I’ll pick you up later." Then he turned to leave, deciding to talk with her when they got in the car. Communication was better done in a private space.
Jennifer looked at his back with a strange feeling.
About an hour later, Ivan came again.
He stood in the doorway and knocked on the door, which was opened. "Let's go?”
Jennifer glanced up at him, simply cleaned up the table, got up, and left, "Mya, we’re going to the club now.”
"Okay."
Ivan didn’t use the driver this time. Walking out of the company, he opened the passenger door of the Lamborghini for Jennifer like a gentleman. "Be careful." He even bent down and fastened her seat belt.
"I can do it myself." Jennifer felt awkward, but he finished it very soon. Before closing the car door, he kissed her cheek gently.
Ivan got in the car and started it.
"I am sorry for going to Canada without telling you." Ivan held the steering wheel with one hand and held Jennifer’s hand with the other.
Jennifer instinctively took back her hand, but he gripped tighter.
Concerned about driving safety, she compromised.
They felt each other’s temperature through their palms. The car moved forward.
"I shouldn't have gone to her bedroom. I should have thought about the consequences." His voice was low, "I should have discussed with you about the investigation.”
