Boss's Sweet Secretary

Chapter 24: Let’s Keep Our Distance



On the pathway outside the villa, a gust of wind made Jennifer shiver. She quickly put the bread in her mouth and put on the blazer. However, with her white handbag hanging on her other arm, she looked

clumsy.

This was exactly what Jackson saw.

She looked like a monkey with something in her mouth and fiddled with her blazer. Her hand could not reach her back, so she jumped up and down. It was a funny sight. "Jennifer, are you putting on a show for me this early in the morning?"

Jackson's voice came out of nowhere. Jennifer's whole body stiffened. She suddenly looked up and saw him leaning against the car door, dressed in a beige casual suit and bathing in the warm morning sun. "You get so flustered just by putting on a coat. You haven't changed at all even after so many years, you're still just as impatient."

Jackson walked towards her and reached out to help her pull up the sleeve behind her back.

Before his hand touched her coat, Jennifer suddenly came to her senses and jumped to the side as if she got an electric shock. She took out the bread from her mouth and put the handbag on the ground. "It's okay, I can do it myself."

As she was speaking, she was on her side and was just about to put her arm into the sleeve of the blazer that was beside her shoulder. She looked as if she could not avoid his touch soon enough. She picked up the bag on the ground and was about to leave. "I have something to do, I'll have to leave now."

"You really don't want to see me huh?"

Jackson's voice came from behind. His guilt was apparent. "Jennifer, it was my fault back then, but I have been trying my best to break away from my family's control over the years. I have done it now, and I have come back to make it up to you, and I think we..."

"Stop it." Jennifer stopped and turned on her high heels. She didn't dare to look at the villa, fearing that Hans would be standing at the door or at the window, looking at her, and then he would bring her back to be severely "punished".

"Jennifer..." Jackson did not give up, he thought she hadn't forgiven him so he hurried towards her.

"Don't come any closer, let's keep some distance." Jennifer reached out her hand to stop him. She glanced at the second floor of the villa, everything seemed normal.

"I won't... I'm not the kind of person... Jennifer, I..."

Jackson was a little surprised. Even though they hadn't seen each other for years, he didn't expect she would think of him as some thug who would take advantage of women. Hearing this, Jennifer knew he misunderstood her. She quickly explained, "I didn't mean that, I..."

She looked at Jackson up and down and she had an idea. "I mean, you are a celebrity now. If we were photographed together, there are bound to be gossip even if there is nothing going on here. So we should keep our distance."

Hearing this, Jackson's face gradually relaxed. "It doesn't matter. I checked before I came. The security here is really tight, the reporters can't get in. Are you going to work? I will give you a ride."

Hearing that he was going to send her, Jennifer's face turned pale. "No, I can just take the bus and then the subway. It's very convenient, really."

"You live here and you are taking public transport?" Jackson looked at her in confusion.

The housing price in this area was ridiculously high. Even with his current net worth, he would have to seriously think about it before buying a house here.
