Chapter 152 Don’t Tell the Truth
Walking out from the lobby of Jade Picture, Jenny sees someone familiar moving towards her. She gives a smile when she realizes who he is.
"Hello, Adan. You are here! I am going to take a taxi."
Adan opens the car's door for her and tells a joke, "How I dare let such a super star take a taxi by herself?"
Getting on his car, Jenny fastens the safety belt and laughs, "Don't tease me. Yes, I am a little bit famous for these scorns, with no money at all. Unless some fans who dislike me would like to kidnap me, I shouldn't have any other trouble."
With his smile disappearing, Adan starts the engine and does not say anything to Jenny, only to ask her with great care.
"I heard the problem was solved by Mr. Luke Lu from your company."
"You know it?" Jenny says casually. "Yes. It is Luke... Mr. Lu who helped."
When talking about Luke Lu, she is used to calling his informal name in daily life. But soon it occurs to her that who she is staying with, she changes to another one.
These words from Jenny upsets Adan.
If he does hear it clearly, Jenny would like to call him Luke.
By instinct, he guesses that Jenny and Luke are not so strange as they appear to be.
"Jenny, you know Luke Lu very well?"
After a few of seconds.
Jenny plans to tell Adan and Victoria later that she married Luke in some way. As he is asking now, should she tell the truth?
She is still not certain about it.
Just before her answer, all of sudden Jenny hears some sharp noise of brake. Meanwhile, she is strongly forced to lean forward by Adan braking abruptly. She would be hit to the windshield if not fastening safety belt.
"Are you ok?" Adan asks her in a rush.
"I'm ok." Jenny waves hand, and horribly watches the bus just passing by. She asks, "Adan, what happened?”
"Sorry..." Adan seems not happy, "I am not in the mood today."
"May I drive your car?" Jenny says slowly because she is unsure that she can really drive.
She seldom drives a car after getting the driving license; it is well enough for her to distinguish brake from accelerator.
In fact, this is an excuse for Adan to say he is not in the mood. Just now, he was in a trance with looking at Jenny and worried that Jenny would tell him something he was unwilling to accept. As a result, he did not notice the traffic to make a mistake.
Adan is afraid that Jenny will leave him. Though Jenny was in love with Frankie for years, he held the view that Frankie was too superficial to match Jenny. Eventually, their broken-up falls within his expectation.
Adan also believes that he would be the best option of being Jenny's boyfriend after Frankie. However, Luke Lu is unpredicted to enter into Jenny's life.
The accident comes so suddenly that he swifts most of jobs from Hong Kong to the mainland China right away when he read the news about Jenny and Luke on newspaper.
"Adan, it really frightened me. Take good care of yourself. That cannot happen anymore!"
Jenny does not calm down until now; she holds the safety belt in a quick breath.
A moment about life and death.
Adan feels regretful as well as kind of lucky. He is regretful at his distraction on driving, as well he is lucky that Jenny's words were stopped.
He would not like to ask Jenny more, pretending not to know anything about them.
The elegant restaurant locates beside a lake. No matter looking from a little far away or closely, customers will have fantastic night view of the lake through the French window. One minute after having a seat in the restaurant, they hear the noise of rolling wheels of a trunk.
Jenny waves hand to the one at the door, "I'm here."
Victoria leaves her trunk to a waiter and moves towards their table.
She has a seat beside Jenny with eyes focused on Adan sitting on the opposite. Then she says in a lower voice.
"Who recommends you here? Good decoration, and so appealing."
Adan serves her a cup of tea and says, "Girl, you are here now. Any appealing view will turn out to wild."
Victoria finishes all the tea, "So you blame me for bothering you two?"
"No, no..." Adan cannot say anything else and shows her the menu to ask, "What would you like to have? We ordered some. You can add on."
"I am too hungry to be picky." She does not read the menu and passes it to the waiter, only to say, "Hurry up! Go to serve some signature dishes."
Jenny and Adan have a speechless smile to each other.
"What are you laughing at?" Victoria is unpleased to say, "If you neither have anything from last night, you would get to eat kids' lollipops. I still can control myself."
"Yes, you can." Jenny refills some water for her, "You stay hungry too long. Have some warm tea first."
"You cannot imagine how insane my boss is! Well. I try to stop talking about him. He bothered me too much."
Jenny asks in curiosity, "Is it true?"
She has met George for several times and hardly believes he is a man of picking on girls.
"Of course. Absolutely. He is crazy! He asked me to buy him coffee at 2am; he changed dress every half day and did not allow any crease on his dress that he planned to change in the airplane from Xicheng to HS City before landing; he requested me to get toothpaste and water ready for him before he brushing teeth. May I ask have you ever knew such a boss before?"
"Excuse me?" Adan raises his hand and talks with her seriously, "Toothpaste ready? You were in the same hotel room?"
"It was a suite. I had one room and so did he. Every morning, I have to iron his dress, get toothpaste and water for him. I said he is crazy!"
"No. You daddy will stop you if he knows how tough the job is."
Adan frowns to ask, "Which company are you from? Would you like to change the job? I might help you."
"No, thank you." Victoria stops Adan, "Don't do that. Yesterday I scolded him for his idling away, I will also be shameful at getting away so soon. I have to be strong enough to fight back the evil man."
Jenny bursts into laugher with these words, "Fight back? I will be bothered by you too much before you fighting back."
She gets used to listening to Victoria's complaint about her boss. Fortunately, Jenny gets an interval during her business trip; if not, she will go mad too.
