Chapter 18 Jokes
Hearing Gavin's teasing, I smiled bitterly and said, "Yes, what do I have? I only have myself."
Gavin sensed that there was something wrong with my tone, so he immediately comfort me. "Although RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only
you having nothing right now, you have to know that you still have yourself! As long as you are alive
and healthy, there is nothing to worry about."
I nodded and thought for a moment. Then I said half jokingly, "How about I selling myself to you?"
Gavin smiled and said, "Sell yourself to me? What can you do? I never do a losing bargain ."
I glanced down at my ill-fitting outfit, which looked ugly compared to Gavin's premium. I gritted my
teeth. "I can work for you," I said. "I think I am pretty good at working."
I waited for a while but Gavin was stil in silence, I knew immediately that this was the best answer for
me.
Gavin was a rich man, but he was not stupid. It was all right to give a million to an insignificant person.
After all, with his skills, he could earn it right back. But hiring an unqualified employee would be a big
loss for him.
I smiled silently and leaned my head against the window. I looked out at the cityscape whizzing by and
wondered where my future lay.
Meeting a traffic light, Gavin stopped slowly and said suddenly, "Darcey..."
His voice sounded hesitant and halting, and he sheepishly called me by name.
I was a little flattered. After all, he had never called me liked this before. I turned my head and
answered him, "What?"
Gavin looked into my eyes. I saw that there were still a minute for the change of traffic lights at the
junction. It did not matter, so I looked at him. He said, "Darcey, although our meeting doesn't sound
very serious, I still want to say that it's very nice to meet you."
I smiled and didn't know what he was going to say. So I said, "Well, it's the same for me. Mr. Stone
helped me so much, and I feel sorry for him."
"Darcey," said Gavin. "Do you think I like you?"
I merely smiled and said nothing. But when I looked up and saw that the traffic light had changed, I
patted him on the arm and said, "It's green. Let's go."
Gavin turned around and focused on driving, not saying a word. I was silent for a long time before I
suddenly realized what he meant.
All of a sudden, my mind exploded, but I didn't dare to look up at Gavin, nor did I dare to ask him. I
even breathed carefully.
In this way, he didn't say a word until he arrived my apartment.
I got off the car and said goodbye to him before hurrying upstairs. He did not look back and drove away
directly.
In the dark corridor, I thought I had misheard. Or maybe Gavin was just making an innocent joke, but I
was touched. Gavin would laugh at me again if he knew I was reacting that way.
But I couldn't be blamed. Gavin was so excellent that every woman would be into him. I didn't know
much about him, but as far as I knew, he was indeed a man every woman desired."
But I could not mess with a man like that. Before I entered the house, I tried as best I could to shake
my head. I could not take this unrealistic fantasy home with me.
