"Letâs go to the canteen. On my treat."
"Sorry?"
"What?"
The man surrounded the womanâs waist with his long arms and stepped into the elevator with her.
In the past, no matter how close they were, Jason never came to her company. He never mixed his personal life with his work.
Therefore, her colleagues hardly ever saw Jason here.
When Jason surrounded his arms on Scarletâs waist and walked into the elevator, everyone got curious.
"Miss Yvette, is he your boyfriend?"
"I am her fiancé," Jason smiled and corrected them. Then he introduced himself to them, "Jason William. Fiancé of Scarlet."
Hearing these words, Scarlet froze for a while. Since when has he become her fiancé?
Before she explained, everyone at present started congratulating her.
"Oh my gosh. Fiancé? But we never hear you mention him?"
"Sheâs low-profile."
"You look so familiar. Iâve seen you before. You often come to pick up Scarlet before, right?"
"Yes."
"Wow. You look so cute. I remember Iâve seen you on TV. You .....you look so familiar. Oh. You are the director of Modern Technology. Youâve been reported on TV. You were interviewed by those reporters, right?"
"Yes. Yes."
Everyone was focusing on Jason. They were all admiring Jasonâs handsomeness.
Scarletâs face changed immediately.
She was also really attractive. She even invited the department of design to enjoy snacks with them. But no matter how beautiful and kind she was, she was nothing when standing with Jason.
Soon, the door of the elevator was opened. Everyone left unwillingly. Jason slowed down his step to wait for Scarlet.
Scarlet had to acknowledge that Jason really attracted women. Those women still looked towards him even theyâve walked out of the elevator. If Scarlet was not standing by him, those women might already start talking to him now.
Scarlet said in a mad voice, "Have I gotten in your way?"
"What? No."
"I want to know what those girls in your companies reflect when they see you. Could they still walk away? Do they rush to say hi to you?" Scarlet squinted her eyes and pointed at his nose.
"First of all, most of the employees in my team are men. Secondly, after dating you, I never throw an eye on a girl. Therefore, I have no idea whether they see me or not. Thirdly, Iâve received many love letters. But Iâve refused them all."
"Oh, I see. So youâve sacrificed a lot."
"Oh, donât say that." Jason smiled humbly.
Hearing this, Scarlet was really pissed off. But she didnât know how to refute him. He was smiling. She didnât know how to be angry with him.
Finally, she said in a mad voice, "What about my fiancee?"
"If you get married, you can only get married to me. Therefore, I am your fiance."
While saying these words, his eyes turned serious, fixing on her.
So sweet.
Scarlet blinked and looked at him for a while. Finally, she changed the topic unnaturally, "I am starving. Letâs go to lunch."
"Great. Letâs go," Jason smiled and grabbed her hands tightly.
It was definitely a disaster that Jason came to her company.
Such a mature man, charming and attractive you all the time. More importantly, he made you feel safe.
He was born to shine.
Shine like the sun in the sky.
No matter where he went, he would attract lots of people.
With his smile
With his voice.
With the light in his eyes.
Therefore, at the moment he entered the canteen, lots of people started discussing him.
Scarlet held her forehead helplessly. She choked at her man and said, "Why are you laughing. Be serious. Theyâve seen you. Theyâve known how charming you are.,"
"Donât you feel happy with such a charming boyfriend?"
"I see nothing but an old peacock," Scarlet replied with mean words.
Peacock..
Old....
The smile on his face immediately froze.
He didnât know how to smile at the moment.
Who should he blame? Scarlet didnât even feel a little guilty at all. She even said he was old now.
No matter how old he was, she had to get married to him if she wanted to get married.
After they sat down, Donald walked to them with Joanna.
Donald smiled at them, "I heard youâve come here. You are our guest. So I think I should come here to say hi. Mr. William, it is my great honor."
"It is my honor, Mr. Lynch-."
Two men at the top of the power shook hands.
Standing in front of Donald, Jason was not frightened at all. At the moment, he looked sharp and determined.
Scarlet seldom saw him at work. When seeing this, she suddenly realized she knew little about this man.
She still needed to take a long time to learn this man.
She might take a life.
Or it was not enough.
Even life was not long enough for her to know this man.
Scarlet thought she needed to work harder to know more about Jason, to know more about his work and his life.
Donald just said hi to him because they were familiar with each other. Jasonâs company also cooperated with Donaldâs enterprises before. Certainly, it was not Jason being in charge of the cooperation.
Donald padded on Scarletâs shoulder and said, "Come on."
Then, he left with his pretty wife.
Hearing these two words from Donald, Scarlet finally understood why Edie fell in love with him that year. Donald was indeed so good. He was so kind of her. He always looked after her because she was Edieâs best friend. Because he still loved Edie.
Pitifully....
Theyâve missed each other. But this might be the best ending for him.
"Donald really cares about you," Jason said in a peaceful voice after Donald left.
This man dared to seduce his girlfriend when he was not here.
Jason felt so uncomfortable.
Scarlet didnât notice the anger in his voice. She said honestly, "Yes. I should appreciate him. He helps me a lot."
âOkay. Great. You should appreciate him. How would you appreciate him?"
"I donât know. Let me think."
Hearing these words, Jasonâs face changed.
"Scarlet, donât you think youâve owed others too much?"
Hearing these words, Scarlet froze for a while. She raised her head, seeing the light in her deep eyes.
Looking at his eyes, Scarlet immediately realized heâs pissed off again.
She burst into laughter, "Are you jealous? Come on, Jason, Youâve grown up. Heâs just my friend. Besides, heâs Edieâs ex. I am not dumped, okay. He helped me mostly because of Edie. Heâs owed Edie a lot before."
Sometimes, relations between people was so strange.
When one owed the other a lot and didnât know how to return, he would feel guilty. Then he would try different ways to return her. That would make him feel better.
