True Love Waits novel Chapter 619

Wesley thought a minute and said to Blair, "I called up Carlos. He has arranged a job interview for you at the ZL Group. I think you should give it a try. ZL Group provides its employees with more benefits than the Jin Group."

Before heading towards the premises of the Jin Group to pick up Blair, he had considered finding her a new job. He wouldn't make her quit her job and stay unemployed.

'The ZL Group?' The name struck Blair. She was surprised. "Do you mean Carlos Huo's ZL Group?"

There was joy visible on her face. Wesley became hopeful and thought she would agree to go to the interview. "Yes. Carlos now works in Y City," he informed her.

Once again, Blair was moved by his gesture. She felt that he was being so good to her. It was not easy to have an opportunity to work in ZL Group. All those thoughts and opinions were contrary to the decision she made. It was totally unexpected when she announced her stand to Wesley. "Thank you for your concern, but I don't want to work in such a big company."

The signal changed and green lights were on. Wesley cast a confused glance at her and started the car.

Blair sounded apologetic as she continued, "I'm afraid my free spirit doesn't fit a big company like ZL Group. They must have tons of strict rules and regulations to be followed rigidly. I don't think I'd like to work in that kind of working atmosphere and ambience. It will be depressing for me. So, I think it will be much better if I find a job myself."

"What kind of company would you like to work in? Surely, I can help you find a good job." Wesley didn't persuade her to join ZL Group. Once she said she wasn't ready to work there, he decided to help her find another job.

"Thank you for your concern and offer. But you're always so busy. I don't want to trouble you with my problems. If I can't find a job myself, I'll ask for your help. Is that okay?" She didn't want to bother him with such a trivial matter. She knew how busy he usually was.

Wesley didn't say anything further. Blair took his silence as acquiescence.

The drive was a couple of minutes from her former workplace to the apartment complex. He silently drove the car into the underground parking lot.

As soon as he parked the car in a vacant spot, Blair got out and closed the door behind her. Wesley held the two boxes which contained her stuff and was about to step out too when she walked around the car, took the boxes from him, and said, "I can go home myself. You should get back to work."

Wesley glanced at her, got out of the car and walked towards the elevator. "Why are you rushing me to leave? Is it because you don't want to see me?"

How could she possibly not want to see him? Actually, she was feeling bad that her personal affairs were taking up too much of his time and disturbing his tight schedule. He was going ahead so fast that she had to jog to catch up to him. "That's not what I mean. Aren't you busy today?" she questioned.

"No." He had decided to delegate some of his work to his colleagues. Then he wouldn't be as busy as he used to be.

That was good news for Blair. He was always busy and this plan would keep him away from work at least for some time. She quickened her pace and asked cheerfully, "So, you're free tonight?"

"Yeah!"

"Great! Then, can I invite you to dinner? I want to thank you for your help and celebrate the end of my miserable days." She followed him like a tail, blabbering all the time.

After being silent for a few moments as he listened to her continuous talk, he answered, "Okay."

Once back in their apartment, Blair changed into her slippers and asked in an embarrassed tone, "Do...do you want that?" She pointed at the boxes of Wahaha soft drinks stacked in a corner.

Wesley looked at her and replied in a simple tone, "No."

"Then what should I do? I can't drink them all. Why did you buy so many?"

"You asked me to. Have you forgotten?"

"So you just went ahead and bought them? Joslyn used to buy only one bottle for me, and that was all I needed," she grumbled as she walked towards the boxes. She took out one bottle, popped the straw in and started to drink.

'Seriously? One bottle? Does she really think she is so easy to handle?' Wesley had never met anyone who was such a handful as her. She had a mind and a mouth of her own. And her temper and tantrums were just too much for a simple man to handle.

Blair drew another bottle out of the box and handed it to him. "You should try it. It's delicious."

Wesley quietly sat on the couch and declined the offer. "No."
