Chapter 51: Asking for Trouble
His kiss was fast and forceful. His hands held the back of her head forcefully as if he wanted to embed
her into his body. She cried out in pain. He finally stopped kissing her and slowly retreated.
Hans took his hands off her shoulder and avoided her gaze. He said with a cold face, "It's okay if you
don't want to move back to grandma's place, but you can't rent a house. Just move out from the master
bedroom. The further away from my room, the better."
Jennifer lowered her head and smiled bitterly. "Okay."
In the villa, the furthest room from Hans was located in the northwest corner of the first floor. It was cold
and damp, without sunshine all year round. It couldn't even function as a storeroom, so it became
servants' quarters.
"If I let you go out and rent a house, do you think grandma will let me off so easily? Maybe grandma will
force me to set a wedding date and you will get what you wished for. You are so calculative."
She was already numbed to Hans's words. She lowered her head drowsily, leaned against her seat,
and slowly fell asleep.
After driving for a long time, Hans's cold gaze fell on Jennifer's face sleeping beside him. The coldness
in his eyes gradually became warm and there was even a trace of tenderness.
"She refused to leave perhaps because she still has some hopes for me. Unfortunately, she is
Stephanie's daughter, and my feelings for her could not offset my guilt towards my mother. If I ignore
her for long enough, she would probably pack up her things and leave on her own one day." Hans
thought.
The secretary office.
Rose put a thick stack of documents in front of Jennifer and smiled flatteringly.
"You didn't come yesterday and so many things piled up for your perusal. I tried my best to help you
take care of some of it, but others I really couldn't understand..."
"I see, I will do it." Jennifer resignedly looked at Rose.
"This girl was good in every aspect, except that she was lazy and greedy." Jennifer thought.
"Where did you go yesterday? I don't think you applied for leave, but Hans didn't look for you..."
She lay on the pile of documents, blinking her big eyes with a curious face.
Jennifer tugged on the document on the top and stared at her. "If you don't get up, later when Mr. Hans
ask for the documents, I will tell him you were responsible for it. Not only you didn't finish it yesterday,
but you're still slacking off today."
"Don't, don't, I will get out of the way." Rose quickly stood up, and the black folder broke free, falling
into Jennifer's hand easily.
She flipped open a page, with her pen and sticky notes, she carefully took notes.
"Let me tell you a piece of explosive news. Last night, my idol, Jackson had dinner with a young
woman."
It was not surprising to hear Rose mentioning Jackson. Rose always mentioned him at least seven or
eight times a day, and her ears were getting numb.
Now that she knew Jackson was Desmond, Jennifer still felt a little weird. However, there was only
indifference on her face after she processed her feeling internally. "Oh."
Rose was not surprised by Jennifer's indifference. However, she had her trump card and did not
believe that Jennifer would not be stunned by it.
"Aren't you curious who my idol had dinner with last night?" All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.
"With who? Don't tell me it's you?"
Rose's eyes lit up. "Hey, how did you know? You know, Jackson is so handsome..."
"Rose," Jennifer put down her work and looked at her seriously. "If you don't feel well today, ask for a
leave from the HR and go to the hospital. If you can't, you can go to the psychiatric ward too."
When Rose was first obsessed with Jackson, she often talked about Jackson in front of her every day
and said that she had a dream of having dinner with Jackson and he proposed to her. She was no
longer surprised by Rose's imagination.
"Hey, I'm serious. If I don't give you some evidence, you're really..."
Rose stomped her feet and indignantly took out her phone and flipped through the photos. "Look..."
When Rose showed off her phone in front of Jennifer, she casually looked up, thinking that Rose was
playing with photoshop or it was just a poster of Jackson. However, on the screen, the two of them
were in a western restaurant. One was gentle and elegant, the other was genial and lively. It looked too
real to be a photoshopped picture.
Seeing that Jennifer was stunned, Rose was laughing at her for finally realizing it was real. She proudly
flipped through all the photos.
"Look at this one. I secretly took the picture from behind when Jackson pulled out the chair for me. This
one was the steak he recommended. Wow, this one is even more incredible. He saw I was secretly
taking pictures of him so he took my phone and took a selfie with me. My God, I must have been
dreaming last night..."
Rose was so excited that she stomped her feet and laughed in front of the desk like a madman. She
did not notice the melancholy on Jennifer's face.
It might be a coincidence that Jackson took her best friend Rose to dinner, but why did he choose a
western restaurant? If she still couldn't see what he meant, then all the years she had been Jackson's
girlfriend was in vain.
That western restaurant was near the high school Jennifer went to before she transferred to another
high school. It was expensive so not a lot of students went there. Stephanie promised her a meal of
lamb chop for a long time, but Stephanie was too busy to take her to the restaurant for half a year.
Moreover, she did not give Jennifer enough money to go there by herself with the excuse that it's not
safe for girls to carry a lot of money.
At that time, Jennifer routinely spent all her pocket money every month. She might be able to save
some money to eat KFC. However, such a high-end western restaurant was definitely out of the
question.
At that time, she was still chasing Jackson, she would pester him following him around after school.
If Jackson hadn't deliberately walked into the western restaurant to get rid of her that day, she wouldn't
have come up with such a plan. "Jackson, do you like the steak from this restaurant? I like it too. Let
me buy you dinner."
As the son of the major shareholder of the high school, Jackson came from a wealthy family and had a
great upbringing. He definitely knew the gentlemanly thing to do was to buy a girl dinner. However,
Jennifer did not expect that Jackson was so artistic that he thought money would cheapen his artistic
flair, so he never brought any money with him.
"I've finished eating. Pay the bill and leave."
After dinner, Jackson wiped his mouth slowly and picked up his black schoolbag on the side.
Jennifer looked at her Prince Charming with a smile, totally unaware that her Prince Charming had no
intention of being a gentleman at this moment.
"Jackson, let's just be friends from now on. Thank you for buying me dinner."
"Who said I'm going to buy you dinner? Didn't you say you would buy me dinner?" Jackson said with a
serious face.
At that time, Jennifer probably couldn't even afford a bowl of cream mushroom soup with all the money
she had.
What happened later? Later...
"Jennifer, let me tell you. Jackson told me that the high school next to this western restaurant was the
high school that he went to. He once dine and dash here with his friends. Both of them thought the
other person was paying, but they both didn't bring any money. It was so funny..."
