Chapter 44 Call Him By His Name
"Wait!" John didn't want to pretend to be painful anymore.
Then John stood up and straightened his clothes. Without asking Nina, he said, "I'll drive you to school."
"What?" What did she hear just now?
"Are you sending me to school?" Nina asked in reply, feeling that something was unusual.
Was he trying to play tricks on her again?
"Anything wrong?" Why didn't she believe it? Did he look like a bad guy?
Besides, was it strange for him to send her to school?
He didn't think so..
Nina had already become his woman. Of course he would send her by himself.
"No, but don't you need to go to work?" Nina raised her hand and indicated him to look at his watch. It was already eight o'clock.
There was still plenty of time before her class began. But if he went to work now, he could still arrive at the company on time.
"No." Couldn't the company operate normally if he didn't go to work on time? Then why did he spend so much money on employing so many people?
For the time being, sending Nina to school was more important.
Nina blinked. With such a boss, the company should go bankrupt.
In the end, she still let John drive her to school. The moment she left the North Yard, she felt that she had made a wise decision. If no one drove her back, she might really have to walk to school. The North Yard was on the hill and was so far away from the city.
After getting in the car, Nina kept vigilant, fearing that he would leave her halfway. There was no way to buy a car here. On the other hand, she was afraid that he would take revenge on her and drive her to the mountains and did some bad things to her.
Nina had always been concerned about the road ahead, and from time to time, she would pay attention to the mood of John. She needed to be careful and protect herself.
"Uncle John, is it okay for me to call you in this way?" The first step to negotiate with others was to call his name in a proper way.
In fact, she still didn't know how to address him. If it was her own idea, she would just call his name.
A name was to be called.
But since she knew him, she hadn't heard anyone call him by his name. Everyone called him in a respectful way.
"No." The man clenched the steering wheel angrily.
He didn't want to hear Nina call him Uncle John, as if his niece's wife was calling him.
It was obvious that she was his woman, not James'.
In an instant, he hated James again.
The trees on both sides of the window were dazzling, and Nina's heart was thumping. Feeling that the speed of the car was obviously faster, she grabbed the seat belt with both hands. After a while, the speed returned to normal.
With a lingering fear, Nina said, "How about Mr. John?"
'Mister? I'm a respectful person in your eyes?' He couldn't accept the fact that Nina call him Mr. John.
"Then, how should I call you?" Nina was anxious. What did this man mean? Why couldn't she call him Mr. John like others?
She really wanted to lift his skull to see what was going on in his brain.
Hearing Nina ask for his opinion, the expression on his face softened. With a smile at the corners of his mouth, he asked, "What do you want to call me except Uncle John and Mr. John?"
"You... Ask me?" It was surprised that he asked for her opinion.
'What's wrong with this man? Is it because I beat him too hard last night after getting drunk and caused some sequelae?'
She looked carefully at John. His head was not deformed, and there was no bald patch on his head. His hair was slightly curled and black, with a little maroon.
His face was good-looking of course. He had dashing eyebrows and starry eyes. His pursed lips were actually not very thin, but with a pink color. He would often inadvertently lick his lips, very shallow and quickly, without being noticed.
Just now, he licked his lips again gently. He looked very seductive.
Nina thought that in this era, there were many good-looking men, whether it was pure natural or by packaging, each of who would not be ugly. But John didn't need to do anything, smile or say anything to become charming. And he was born with dignity.
He didn't wear a suit. He wore a white shirt with a loose bottom, hanging down to his thighs. He also wore a black trousers. The dressing was simple and casual. He looked like a twenty-year-old young man, without the heavy feeling he had when he wore a suit.
Nina kept looking at John.
She had to admit that John was really charming.
"Is there anyone else in the car?" John had been staring ahead and didn't notice that Nina had been looking at him.
If he had noticed it, he would have felt more confident in his handsome and charming face.
Nina's thoughts were pulled back. She just wanted to beat herself up in her heart. How could she keep looking at John and have so much thought about him?
"Then I'll call your name." Nina thought it was proper to call him by his name.
John agreed readily. He felt it sounded like that they were contemporaries.
Now that they had decided the way how Nina called John, she had to have a good talk with him. "John, I hit you two times and you retaliated against me two times. Now we are clear, aren't we?" "What? What did you just call me?" His attention was completely paid to the way Nina called him. Few people called him John. They didn't dare to do so.
But how could it sound so pleasant to hear her call him John?
"John." Nina was a little stunned. Did he hear what she said?
"Okay." With a satisfied smile, he answered, "We are clear."
The past was the past, and the future would be the future.
"Really?" Nina was so happy that she almost cried. She didn't figure out the meaning of his words and asked bluntly, "You won't trick me behind my back again, will you?"
Nina wasn't frightened if John fought openly. What she really scared was that he tricked her behind her back.
Most importantly, her friend was involved. It was not easy for her to have a friend by her side, so she didn't want her friend to get into trouble because of her.
"Am I that kind of people?" Feeling relaxed, there was a faint smile on his face, but he smiled from the bottom of his heart.
Even though it was cloudy and misty without sunshine this morning, he felt that everything in front of him was warm.
Nina nodded. "Yes, you are."
John was speechless. Why did she speak out what she thought in her mind?
The mist was really annoying.
When the car arrived near LD University, Nina insisted on getting out of the car. Since John couldn't change her mind, he had to do it. He suddenly gave her a kiss when she was not noticing. Seeing that she ran away with a red face, he smiled.
'It's so sweet.'
It was the first time that John didn't go to work on time. Everyone in the company began to feel nervous and uneasy again. They asked Henry for the reason in the WeChat group.
As a result, Henry's phone kept vibrating, and he was following John, making him suffer a lot.
"You've got messages, and remember to reply." It was quite unusual for John to turn around and said casually.
Henry was stunned for a moment. After confirming for several times that John didn't blame him, he answered, "Yes, I'll reply right away."
"Okay." Then John pushed the door open and entered the office.
Henry suddenly gasped for breath. He didn't expect that John didn't scold him just now.
He quickly replied in the WeChat group, "Mr. John is in a good mood today. Those who need him to sign the documents please come up quickly."
Suddenly, there were more than ninety-nine messages in the WeChat group. Someone even asked Henry why John didn't go to work on time this morning, and Henry didn't give any reply.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, Henry sent another surprising message in the WeChat group.
John got off work earlier than usual.
Henry really felt that John would become a fatuous CEO sooner or later.
