Chapter 259: I Just Put On A Show Just Now
Her date didn’t speak, just bowed his head and drank coffee. Yvonne said again, "Take the shirt you’re wearing as an example. It should be TU’s new model this year. The price is about 8,000." "How do you know?" He was surprised. Yvonne smiled, "I said that I am quite familiar with it. I also know that your mother must have picked it for you."
"Can you see this too?" He found it a little unbelievable.
Yvonne curled her lips and smiled, "To be honest, only women over fifty years old can appreciate this style." He was stunned for a moment and then realized that she was implying that he was wearing too old- fashioned clothes, and his face instantly flushed in embarrassment. Yvonne said to herself: his upbringing was so good, and she even felt sorry for him. How should she do? At this moment, her phone rang suddenly. She picked it up and took a look. She frowned when she saw James calling, "What’s up?"
And right now, in the seat not far behind her, James was sitting there and looking at her back. She couldn’t see Yvonne’s expression from his position, but he could see the man’s. He didn’t know what they were talking about, but he saw the man blushing from time to time. He was also a man. How could he not understand another man? Facing a beautiful girl like Yvonne, a man would certainly blush, and he might want to pounce on her. James felt very uncomfortable for fear that they would like each other. So he called her.
Hearing Janice’s question, he didn’t know how to answer for a while, so he replied hesitantly, "Are you...done?" Yvonne frowned, "Didn’t you leave?" James thought that since he was here anyway, so he simply said, "You look back." Hearing this, Yvonne looked back and saw that he was sitting at the table behind her. She frowned slightly, but thought of something, and then put on a very profligate posture and waved at him.
James didn’t know why she was doing that, and he froze. Yvonne turned her head, and she saw a shocked look on the face of her date. She thought her goal had been achieved. It was time to end it. She smiled charmingly at her date, "Excuse me for a second." As she spoke, she stretched her foot over and touched his calf under the table. The man visibly trembled and avoided her like plague. Yvonne didn’t care. She just smiled with satisfaction, got up, and left. When passing by James, she winked at him.
James followed her as if he had lost his soul. Yvonne stopped in front of the sink, put her bag down, and washed her hands before looking at James who was walking towards her in the mirror. She said, "Didn’t I tell you to go back? Why did you follow me?"
James hadn’t come to his sense, and he was still intoxicated. "How can I have left you here alone?" His tone was soft, and his eyes became gentler. Yvonne frowned, "Don’t get me wrong, but I just put on a show just now." James looked puzzled. Yvonne didn’t want to explain too much, and said, "You can go back. Don’t follow me anymore."
With that, she turned and walked away. James froze and hurried to follow her. Yvonne found him still following her and became a little irritable. "James, I’ll say it
again, don’t follow me anymore." She stared at him warningly.
...
James looked very innocent, "I am not following you. There is only one way here." An embarrassment flashed across Yvonne’s face, and she didn’t say anything but gave him a sideways glance, then turned and walked on. James frowned, and followed her after a pause. When Yvonne returned to her seat, her date was no longer there. Was he gone? She glanced around, just wanting to confirm it. "Are you Miss White?" A waitress came over. Yvonne nodded.
"The gentleman who was with you just now left. He asked me to tell you that you are not suitable for each other." The waitress had sympathized with her, but unexpectedly, just after she said it, a large banknote was handed over to her. "I see, thank you." Yvonne gave her the banknote happily. The waitress was startled and realized that it was a tip for her. She was about to say thank you, but Yvette had already left. When James chased her out, she happened to see Yvonne tipping the waitress. She looked in a good mood.
James thought she liked her date. Thinking of this, his face sank and he hurried to catch up with her, "Why? Your date is over so soon." Yvonne scoffed at him, "How long does it take to have a date?" "Then do you like him?" James asked tentatively. Yvonne stopped and glared at him, "It’s none of your business." James was used to her fierceness and didn’t mind it. He continued to follow behind her, "I guess you don’t like him. He is such a boring man." "Maybe I like a boring man." Yvonne refuted
James was startled, and rushed to her front, "Do you like him?" Yvonne only felt a headache, "James, haven’t you noticed that you have too much control? Is it any of your business whether I like him or not?" "I care about you," James said with a good-tempered smile.
"Thank you, but I don’ need it." Yvonne turned around and left. James scratched his head awkwardly, and followed her anyway, "Let’s not talk about it. It’s time for lunch. Let’s go to lunch. What do you want to eat? It’s my treat." Yvonne said to herself: she lost her appetite when she saw him. She said, "No, I want to go home." "Then I’ll drive you home." Yvonne couldn’t bear it. She stopped and looked at him pleadingly, "James, I’m begging you, leave me alone for a while and stop following me, okay?" James stopped speaking.
Yvonne only felt powerless. She didn’t want to hurt him, but she didn’t have the energy to deal with his endless entanglement. "James, time is precious. Please don’t waste it on me, okay? I’m not worthy of you." After saying it, she turned around and walked away quickly without giving him a chance to refute. James didn’t catch up with her this time. He just stood there and watched her leave. She said she was not worth it.
But in his heart, there was no one else more worthy than her. If he had known that he would fall in love with her, he should have suppressed his temper when he met her for the first time. But he had to pay for what he had done after all. James sighed helplessly.
His phone rang suddenly, and he answered irritably, "What’s the matter?" "Mr. Taylor, you haven’t come to the company for several days, and Madam Taylor has come to ask about you several times." "I see." James hung up the phone irritably and then turned to look over. Yvonne was gone. He sighed helplessly and walked
towards the car.
...
Christopher returned to the company that day. He had been with Janice these past few days and had delegated most of the company’s affairs to Rob. Rob had handled it pretty well, but in the end, he was just an assistant with limited ability. Many big decisions still needed to be made by him "Oh, how is Sophie’s case?" Christopher asked in the middle of the official business. He had been busy taking care of Janice these days and had forgotten it somehow. Hearing his question, Rob looked up and said, "I went to ask about it. Sophie will go to jail this time, at least three years or more."
Christopher was not surprised at it. Given Sophie’s actions, three years would be a light sentence. He said, "What about her father’s case?" Rob said, "Wade hasn’t come to his senses yet, and the case has been put on hold for now." Hearing this, Christopher nodded. It was not easy to overturn an old case ten years ago. "Oh, there is one more thing you need to do," Christopher said suddenly. Rob listened respectfully.
Christopher paused and said, "I think it’s time to deal with the mole." Rob just thought of saying "yes", but suddenly he thought of something, "Mr. Bateman, you...remember it?" Rob looked over in amazement. After all, Mr. Bateman had found the mole before his memory loss. He had decided not to deal with the mole on purpose. It was just since Mr. Bateman’s accident, he didn’t remember it at all.
Otherwise, Mr. Bateman would not have used Cecilia during the time he had been away from the company, because it was not in line with his character. He would never use anyone who made him suspicious. However, Mr. Bateman suddenly mentioned it now. So Rob thought it was the only reason. Seeing that it was discovered by him, Christopher didn’t deliberately conceal it. He nodded, and said, "I need you to keep this between us."
Rob naturally knew that the person he wanted to keep secret from was Janice, and nodded, "Yes." When Rob left, Christopher couldn’t help but frown. He had told Janice about the restoration of his memory. Those memories didn’t need to be stimulated by Nino at all, but he had naturally remembered everything during the time he had spent with Janice. However, for him and Janice, it was a significant thing.
He needed to find the right time to tell her, but that time should be a big surprise for Janice. Thinking of this, Christopher couldn’t help but curl his lips.
Outside the office, Cecilia was packing her things unhappily, and asked Rob for help, "Rob, could you intercede with Mr. Bateman for me?" Rob said coldly, "You shouldn’t have done it in the first place." Cecilia was instantly speechless, and she regretted it very much. If she had known it, she wouldn’t have clung to Sophie and become a mole. It had ruined her future. Now, she could only accept it.
Cecilia picked up her things with red eyes and reluctantly left. She met Denise face to face as soon as she reached the elevator entrance. Cecilia lowered her head and entered the elevator in shame. Denise stared at her back, and paused before stepping forward, "What happened to you, Cecilia?"
Rob said, "If one does something wrong, she has to pay a price, Miss Kelshore, what can I do for you?" "Oh, I’m here to see Christopher. Is he here?" Denise said.
"Do you have an appointment, Miss Kelshore?" Rob asked rhetorically. Denise said, "Rob, I have a very important thing to talk about with Christopher, and it’s too late to make an appointment."
