Telling from his mien, Christy Zhong realized that she seemed to overreact. So she controlled her temper and said discreetly, “Sorry. I’ll be more careful about it.”
They both knew what she needed to be more careful about. But it’s something indescribable.
James Feng said “H’m” to accept her apology and then began to bury himself in work.
Noticing his cracked lips, Christy voluntarily got a glass of water for him. She put a straw in the water and handed it to him. She told him with a gentle voice, “President Feng. Drink some water for moisture.”
James didn’t say anything. He just jerked his head in her direction and took a sip from the straw. He did feel thirsty and want to drink water.
At this time, someone knocked on the door. James said “Come in” with the straw in his mouth.
It’s Junyan Zhang who came in. She immediately observed that Christy was feeding him water, which made her quite jealous. But on second thought, if James and Christy looked intimate, Yvonne Jiang would get disappointed from the shock. Thinking of that, Junyan felt much better now.
To her mind, Christy was easier to deal with than Yvonne who was tricky and capable.
Actually, James didn’t care whether a woman was capable or had a good background. He only followed his heart to favour a woman.
If he was an ordinary man, she could try to read his mind with routine thought. However, he wasn’t. So what she thought about him was wrong.
Junyan wasn’t embarrassed. She walked directly to him and handed him a file, saying, “President Feng. You can have a look at the document. If there are any problems, just tell me.” Then she glanced at the water glass as well as Christy who stood next to him, asking, “Do you change the dressing on your arms?”
The reason why she said the words was that she could comfort herself. It was because of his wound on his arm that he let Christy feed him water. In the past, they also had such physical contact. But it could not prove anything. It’s merely for convenience.
Thinking of it, Junyan felt really terrible. Was it really for convenience? But if she didn’t comfort herself in this way, she would feel worse.
James took several sips of water while shaking his head. He said, “Put it on the table.”
What he meant was very clear. He had no time to scan the document now. And he would do it until he finished the work at hand. Of course, there’s no rush. He could take his time and look through it carefully. Additionally, it was very thick. It would cost him some time to finish reading it.
Junyan had to put it on the table. She said awkwardly, “I’ll get back to work.” Then she turned around and left with both bitterness and complacency. She felt sad but she couldn’t tell anyone, which made her quite depressed.
James drank enough water and then turned back, observing in a cold tone, “Take it away.”
Christy quickly went away and put it aside.
Today was weekend. How Christy hoped that he had his own thing to deal with and gave her a break. After all, she got a small kid of whom she needed to take good care. Besides, she also should consider his feelings.
