Chapter 784
"Mhmm," Elaine replied, "I've always had a good memory since I was young, and I'm sensitive with numbers."
Just like how she was able to determine which supermarket had cheaper groceries by just taking a trip to each supermarket to compare.
Perhaps some people did not care about how much they spent on groceries, but Elaine has a habit of meticulously calculating her expenses. In the long run, she would be able to save a lot of money on groceries.
When Morgan heard her words, he fell silent, and he seemed to be slightly moved that a talented girl like her didn't get the chance to further her studies and had to be stuck with this mediocre job for various reasons.
Furthermore, she didn't even know what she was capable of, and she was like a piece of unpolished jade that was inconspicuous in the outside world. However, once her talent was recognized by others, she would be able to shine brilliantly.
If she were to be given a chance, she would be more dazzling than anyone else.
As Morgan thought of this, he suddenly asked,
"Miss Jacob, have you ever thought of doing something else in the future?"
Confused, Elaine asked, "Doing something else?"
"Yes, such as doing some jobs that you're good at," With a smile, he continued, "Not only are you gifted with an extraordinary retentive memory, but you also know how to distinguish fake antiques. These are things that others can't learn."
However, she felt that she was not as talented as he said, and she smiled shyly. "All these things that I know, others can also be good at it by learning..."
Immediately, Morgan shook his head. "Miss Jacob, you're belittling yourself. For example, you are born with an extraordinary retentive memory. How could others learn that? I am not sensitive to numbers, and it's been so long since I have used this number, but I still can't remember it until now, whereas it only took you one glance to remember it."
"Morgan, stop complimenting me. I'll be embarrassed." Seriously, Elaine said.
With a smile, he said, "What a cute young lady."
The more he spoke, the more embarrassed she felt.
"There are all kinds of groceries at home, so I don't think we need to buy any for now. We can go back directly," he said, "I'm afraid that Sir has been waiting for long."
Obediently, Elaine answered, "Okay."
When they arrived at the villa, Elaine remembered what had happened in the morning and asked, "Morgan, is Dr. Perkins feeling better?"
When she left, Dr. Perkins had headed upstairs, and Morgan said that he was not feeling well, so she was wondering how he was feeling at the moment.
Clearly, it was not that he felt unwell. In fact, he was...
Embarrassed, Morgan cleared his throat. "He's fine. He felt better a long time ago. Miss Jacob, don't take it to heart."
"That's great," Elaine breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Morgan, don't call me Miss Jacob. You can call me Elaine."
After they got out of the car and entered the villa, she saw Dr. Perkins seated in the living room at a glance.
At that moment, Dr. Perkins was in a casual shirt and light gray pants. It was a simple outfit, and he seemed very comfortable in it. As he was sitting on the sofa and reading a book, he looked up at her when he heard the footsteps.
Faintly, he stared at her with a deep gaze, and his thin lips pursed.
Hurriedly, she walked over and said, "Dr. Perkins, I'm back. Are you hungry? Take your time to read. I'll go to the kitchen..."
"What did you just call me?" Suddenly, Vincent interrupted her.
Immediately, Elaine remembered his order in the morning, and she had to change the way she addressed him. When she called his name, she was a little embarrassed. "Vincent."
The corners of Vincent's mouth curled into a smile. "Come here."
Silently, she pointed to the kitchen and said, "I need to go to..."
"The servants are cooking, and you don't have to cook. Come here. I have something for you."
When she heard his words, she was confused.
Didn't he purposely ask her to come back to cook? Why did he say that he didn't need her now?
Hesitantly, she walked over and sat down in front of him. Then, Vincent took out a bag from the side and placed it in front of her. "This is for you."Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
"What's this?" A sense of curiosity crept into Elaine's mind.
With a smile, Vincent lifted his chin and said,
"Open it and have a look."
When she opened the box and saw clearly what was in it, she said in surprise, "A phone?"
"Mhmm," With a nod, Vincent answered, "I got it for you in case I needed to contact you when you leave the house in the future."
At that moment, Elaine was touched, and there was an indescribable emotion in her heart because Dr. Perkins was really kind to her.
After she picked up the phone, she realized that it was not only fully charged, but he had also prepared a SIM card for her.
Clearly, he had put a lot of effort into preparing this gift.
As she held the phone, she said, "Vincent, when I get my salary next month, I will pay you back."
However, Vincent did not say a word. Suddenly he reached out and pulled her over. Shocked, Elaine wanted to escape, but he held her tightly in his arms and warned, "Don't move."
Dumbfounded, she exclaimed, "D- Dr. Perkins, please don't do this!"
For the last two days, he said been polite and well-behaved, which made her almost forget what he said to her that day.
In fact, he had confessed his feelings for her, and he said that he would wait for an answer from her.
Although he knew that she had a fiance back at home, he did not care.
With such a strong and overbearing character, Elaine did not know how to deal with him at all.
If it were another man, she would definitely have slapped him. However, he was Dr. Perkins, and she could never slap him when he had been treating her so well.
Although she was stiffened, Vincent didn't seem to notice it. Happily, he continued to hug her and place his hands around her waist.
As soon as he held her in his arms, he felt her slender waist, and he liked it very much. Even with her clothes on, he could feel the softness of her body, which was the kind of softness that he liked. Also, although she didn't put on any perfume, she had a faint body fragrance. Obsessed, he took a deep breath at her neck and enjoyed the fragrance.
The way he acted was as if he was a womanizer, and Elaine was terrified.
After a long time, she struggled slightly. "Dr. Perkins..."
"Don't call me that!" Displeased, Vincent interrupted her.
"V-Vincent." Immediately, she called him by his name, "Let me go. It's not good to do such things. Others are watching us!"
The servants were walking back and forth in the living room, and her heart was racing. In fact, she was afraid that she would be seen by others, and she would be too ashamed to face them.
"No one is looking. They wouldn't dare to look."
In a low voice, Vincent muttered. However, he was not satisfied by just hugging her, and he wanted more. There was a desire burning in his heart. Then, he rubbed his face against her cheek, like how animals express their love.
In a daze, Elaine seemed to hear footsteps coming their way. Anxiously, she pushed him away.
There was a look of displeasure in the eyes of Vincent.
Suddenly, she blurted out, "You promised to give me three days to think about it. It hasn't been three days yet, and you can't force me!"
Before Dr. Perkins went on a business trip, he promised to give her three days to think about it, but the time was not up yet!
As Elaine tried to remind him of his promise, thinking that he would restrain himself a little, at the end, when he heard it, his face suddenly sank.
"What three days? What do you need to consider?" "You can't just go back on your word!" At first, Elaine thought that he didn't want to admit it, and she was angry.
What did Howard say to her before he went on a business trip? Immediately, Vincent came to his senses and once again pulled her over to try and coax her. "I don't have a good memory. What did I tell you? I can't remember anymore. What was I going to do after three days? Tell me about it."
How could she say those words again?
There was no way she would say it. "If you don't remember, I won't take it to heart then. Dr. Perkins, don't worry about it."
Meanwhile, she silently thought that he was really just joking with her. It had only been two days, but he had forgotten what he had said.
