Chapter 26 He’s not serious
Chapter 26 He’s not serious
Jenny takes a look at her face in the mirror, but finds nothing on it, which looks tender and fair with the
delicate and light make-up. So she subconsciously turns around, “Nothing’s on...”
As she turns around, she almost bumps into a person before she finishes the word. Being scared, she
loses balance and her high heels twist. She shouts, seeing herself falling straight to the floor. Suddenly,
her waist is supported and a low voice above her says, “Am I so hideous?”
Jenny hesitates and only opens one eye to make sure she doesn’t fall onto the floor. Then she puts on
an embarrassing smile, “Absolutely not. Well, just I got scared by your sudden appearance.”
Luke doesn’t believe her explanation at all. Luke doesn’t believe her explanation at all. They maintain
this ambiguous movement until Jenny's face blushed.
“Mr. Lu, would you please let go of me?”
Jenny swallows her saliva and asks cautiously.
After all, it’s a difficult move.
Luke’s eyes deepen a bit, and the arm resting on her waist is motionless, and he says in a deep voice,
"Can you let me go first?"
“Ah?” Jenny blinks her eyes and looks down. She follows his gaze and finds that she is grasping his
suit sleeves. She feels embarrassed. After a few seconds of reaction, she released her hands in a
panic. "I, I, I ... It's conditioned reflex...sorry.”
Luke helps her stand firmly, loosens her waist, and answers indifferently, “Well.” Then he turns around
to adjust his tie. Jenny sticks out her tongue and lowers her head to check the messy necklace.
Jenny doesn’t notice Luke seems to breathe a relief behind her.
Luke is absent-minded when adjusts his tie and frowns as he recalls what happened just now. Jenny
seems to have a magic which makes him unwilling to let go of his hands when he grabs her.
Jenny is too careless to notice the room remains awkwardly silent for over 10 seconds. To soothe the
embarrassment, she hesitates to ask, “Were you trying to say anything?”
Luke turns around to cast a glance at her and the earrings of Goddess Venus collection in the box, and
says, “Put them on, get ready and we’re about to leave.”
He wanted to put them on for her by himself.
He doesn’t know where that idea comes from. It seems he can’t control his own mind.
Luke gets somewhat confused by his abnormal behavior, but feels some unexplained warmth as he
stares at Jenny clumsily putting on the earrings.
Why does his grandma like such a clumsy girl?
“I help you.” He says reluctantly.
Jenny doesn’t refuse him because she is not used to putting on earrings. In the past, stylists did it for
her and pierced ears for her. The pain lasted for quite a few days and her ears even got infectious,
causing much trouble. So she doesn’t dare to put on earrings by herself.
The silver needle pierces through the ear hole with some feeling like a current of electricity, which
travels from her fair earlobe to Luke’s palm. He lowers his head to see her face and finds her looking
nervous with her eyelashes trembling.
“Are you nervous?”
Not even a man ever put on anything for her?
“Well...Be gentle, please. It might hurt.”
The previous infection hasn’t completely recovered. She still can’t conquer her fear.
Luke is slightly shocked and flashes some concern in his cold eyes a short while later.
Interesting.
...
The whole Purple Cloud Palace Hotel is rented for a commercial banquet starting from half past eight
tonight. A long red carpet stretches from the door, making the business banquet more like an award
ceremony. Female stars from Jade Picture dressed seductively to contend for beauty and fascination
under the clicking flashing light.
“I heard that the purchaser of our company would present tonight.” Jessica leans on Frankie’s shoulder
and circles on his chest in a private dressing room.
“So? You like him?” Frankie seems somewhat distracted.
The news he came across two days ago inexplicably vexes him.
How on earth did Jenny get acquainted with Luke?
“Ridiculous.” Jessica grumbles coyly. She stops circling and hits him by the chest, “That’s nonsense.
Am I a follower of the rich and powerful?”
“Alright, don’t be mad. Of course you’re not.”
“But somebody is.” Jessica lowers her head and flashes with fierceness, but she continues in a pitiful
tone, “Frankie, do you think people change?”
“Why are you being so sentimental today?”
“I read the news. Jen is dating with that man, is it true?”
As Jessica says that, Frankie’s eyes turn serious and he says in a lower and impatient tone, “Luke is
not an ordinary person, would he like an unknown star? Even if he likes her now, it wouldn’t last a long
time. Are you jealous?”
Jessica goes blue with terror by his sudden question. She lowers her head to concentrate and her eyes
glitter with shock, “Frankie, I just feel sorry for you. After all, you grew up with Jen, but she dates
another one after the break up or...”
She continues in a weaker voice, “They have known each other for a long time.”
Frankie’s face turns pale as he says, “What are you trying to say? We’re not related after breaking up.
She has the right to choose whoever she likes. What’s that got to do with me?”
His words make sense but his reaction is sort of fierce.
Jessica abruptly feels upset. A while later, she raises her head, gritting her teeth, with tears welling up
in her pitiful eyes, before sobbing out, “Frankie, I know Jenny is better than me. Do you regret being
with me?”
Seeing Jessica’s pitiful crying look, he regrets his strong tone. After all, she’s pregnant with his baby.
“No.” He says in a softer tone, raising his arms to embrace Jessica, “Jessica, I’ve been busy with the
purchase thing lately. I get upset sometimes.”
Jessica shows her understanding, obediently leaning on his chest, and stops this unhappy topic.
“Plus, I know Jenny. She’s not that kind of person.”
Hearing that, Jessica abruptly looks up at the side of Frankie’s face, and she’s shocked to find he is
distracted. She starts to worry again.
She has won Jenny, how come she feels like she gets nothing as before?
There come the knocking and the voice of the agent, “Jessica, you’d better not stay inside for too long.
Let’s get out now. Everyone is expecting Mr. Lu in the hall.”Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.
