Elaine lowers her head and walks towards to exit. Then she hears a loud voice calling her name.
“Elaine, where are you going?”
“Ahhh…” Elaine screams out of startle.
Jasper feels speechless about Elaine’s overreaction. “Do you have to react like that? I’m not a ghost.”
“Oh, it’s you. Vice-President Hall. You are back from the Sahara?”
Elaine takes a breath of relief when she finally gets a closer look of the person who calls her name.
It is from Jasper.
Emmett and Jasper are the same kinds of person. They are obsessed with their appearance. No matter what they do or where they are, they must present their best self to the world.
Look at Jasper. He is still looking refined and polished after exposing under the sun at the Sahara for so many days.
There Elaine thought he is going to become tanned.
“Yes. Emmett called and asked me to return immediately. So here I am. Now, where are you going?”
Jasper kept a three-meter distance with Elaine. He doesn’t want to get too close to her.
“I…I’m going out for lunch. It is lunchtime.”
Jasper nods, “I see. I’m going to see Emmett and report my work progress now. See you later.”
Jasper then waves his hand and walks into the VIP lift.
Elaine strokes her chest and takes a breath of relief.
Jasper feels curious as he watches the number on the screen of the lift.
“Was it Oliver’s car that I saw just now? I didn't mistake it, right? Wait, something must have been wrong. Why did he come to our office?”
These are the people in higher management. How would they have the time to go out to see their friend in the afternoon? Their time is either stuffed by business lunches or meetings. Most of them are just going to order deliveries for lunch to save time for their work.
Elaine runs out of the office building, and she sees Oliver standing beside his car, smiling at her.
His eyes sparkle like there are stars in them and his lips are so kissable.
“Elaine,” Oliver walks towards her and holds Elaine’s hand with his right hand.
Elaine feels slightly uncomfortable with his action and wants to shake his hands off. However, when she sees Oliver’s injured arm, she changes her mind out of guilt.
It is just a hand-holding. There’s no big deal, Elaine thinks.
“Oliver, does your arm still hurt?”
Oliver frowns and says earnestly, “Of course it hurts. It hurts more when I’m thinking of you.”
Elaine stuns for a minute, and she realizes Oliver is just playing the victim. She chuckles.
“Let’s go and have lunch,” Oliver smiles blissfully and looks at Elaine.
“Shouldn’t we take care of your injury first?”
Elaine is worry about Oliver’s left arm, “It could affect your recovery if you change the medicine late.”
“No, it won’t. I promise. I won’t allow myself to be handicapped. I don’t want to affect your impression on me.”
Oliver touches Elaine’s nose lightly and smiles charmingly.
Elaine feels speechless.
Her heart is racing, and she could foresee that under the pursue of both Oliver and Emmett, it will not be the last time her heart race crazily.
“Oh, please. Can you stop your sweet talks?” Elaine smiles embarrassingly.
Oliver continues staring at Elaine charmingly.
Elaine feels shy, and her face is flushed.
Oliver’s car drives into a spacious field. It is a place surrounded by greens and there are woods around place.
“Wow, this is so beautiful. What is this place?”
“A dining place. It is called Scenic Restaurant.”
“Scenic Restaurant?”
“Yes.”
“This place definitely deserves the name. It is so beautiful here.”
Oliver opens the door for Elaine. Elaine jumps out of the car and looks around curiously.
They are in an empty field. There are no passers-by or cars, and it feels like some private gardens.
“There is a stream there! Let’s go and have a look!”
Oliver smiles while looking at Elaine’s exciting expression, “Let’s go!”
“Wow, the water is crystal clear! There are rocks and fish! Wait, can we step on the rocks? ”
Elaine is excited like a child. She turns around and looks at Oliver.
A natural smile on Elaine’s face stuns Oliver.
His heart just got attacked by a harmless animal like Elaine.
“Of…Of course you can.”
Elaine lifts her skirts up and takes off her shoes. She then immediately dips her legs into the water.
“It feels so comfortable! The water is cooling. Oliver, come and try it! It is fun!”
Elaine stands on the rocks with her legs dips in the water. She looks as beautiful as a lotus.
