Chapter 82: Just Friends

Book:The Selfish CEO Published:2024-6-2

Sammy Jones suddenly laughed and looked at her, “So … you’re not going to stay out of the hospital again tonight like you did last night, are you?”
“Of course not!” That was an almost immediate shake of the head. The next second, it dawned on her that she had reacted too strongly, and she paused for a moment, looking deep into Sammy Jones’ eyes, “Why do you suddenly ask that?”
Sammy Jones shrugged his shoulders in mock relief, “Nothing. Just want to remind you that girls are better to return early. Now society is so chaotic, after all, it is still not safe. Well, no more talking to you, I’ll go in first.”
She turned around and headed for the ward.
Looking at the forlorn back, Andrea Jones’s mind wandered back and forth to the image of being with Sammy Jones.
When they were young, they slept in the same bed, whispering the hearts of teenage girls; secretly reading teenage comics without their parents’ knowledge; going crazy together, making a scene together, thinking of cheap tricks to deal with teachers together.
She helped herself to beat up the boys who bullied her, full of color; six years ago when she suffered a huge blow, she was more difficult than herself; her father died, she blamed herself almost depressed, but also she was with her every step of the way, squatting by the bed to coax dinner, help wash … the face.
She could hardly imagine what it would be like if one day it was all gone.
“Sis!” She suddenly spoke.
Sammy Jones stiffened, but did not turn around.
“Can we talk? I want to talk to you.” Andrea Jones said. Without waiting for Sammy Jones to speak, she took a deep breath and continued, “Actually, I just …”
Before the words ‘cheated you’ were out of her mouth, Sammy Jones suddenly raised his voice and interrupted her, “Just what? You are not in a hurry to get busy with business? Hurry up and go! I just remembered that I still have porridge on the electronic stove, if I don’t turn it off, it will burn!”
“But …”
“Stop it!” Sammy Jones interrupts her, turns her around again and pushes her away, “Go, go, go! I’m busy, you go do your thing. We’ve got a lot of money to make right now!”

The words that were about to come out were again blocked in the throat.
Andrea Jones walked in front of the hospital with a heavy heart. From a distance, I saw the Hummer waiting there.
With the windows down, the familiar figure could be seen faintly inside the car.
The heavy just now, swept away most of it. The mood has been unconsciously soft, she carried the bag can not help but trot over.
Neal Williams had opened the car door for her from the inside.
“Put your seat belt on first.” Neal Williams said as he sidled over and grabbed the seat belt and buckled it on for her.
His broad chest was just above her own, enveloping the slender her in a complete ball. The warm and reassuring feeling made her feel coveted.
The heart of a move, can not help but open his arms, gently wrapped around his neck.
face and buried it between his neck.
The first thing you need to do is inhale his refreshing scent and let go of it.
Neal Williams, however, suddenly out of hand her hand fixed, the other large palm wrapped around her waist, locking her in his arms.
“Let me hug.”
He murmured.
She grunted greedily from the tip of her nose and didn’t move, letting him hold herself like this.
If she could, she would love to stay in his arms like this until forever.
Good moment …
It took Neal Williams a moment to slowly release her, dropping his eyes to look at her with a contented low smile, “How come you’re not afraid to let them see?”
At the mention of her mother and sister, Andrea Jones subconsciously grabbed his hand.
After looking at her tightly wrapped fingers, he didn’t break away, just hit the steering wheel with one hand and moved the car away from the hospital entrance.
Andrea Jones said, “Honestly, right now, I think it’s better to just let them see it.”
She was so frustrated that it was like a broken pot.
Neal Williams looked at her with a doting look in his eyes, “What’s this negativity again.”
She shook her head a little depressed.
I was going to talk to Sammy Jones about it, but then she interrupted me with the courage I’d managed to muster.
“If it’s really that difficult for you, or should I do it?”
Andrea Jones shook her head, “She hasn’t even confessed her love for you, and it’s embarrassing for her to have you pop up and say no.”
Neal Williams was about to say something else when Andrea Jones’ cell phone rang abruptly.
She pressed the phone to her ear and Klein Williams’ voice jumped from the other end, “Hey! Are you guys playing missing persons? The nurse said Auntie was transferred, what’s going on?”
“Keep your voice down, I’ve got a killer headache.” Andrea Jones rubbed the corner of her forehead, “My mom is turned. At the military hospital.”
“You didn’t talk to me earlier.”
“Weren’t you out of the country again recently? So I just didn’t call.”
“Then wait at the hospital, I’ll be right over.”
“Don’t, I’m not in the hospital right now, you can come back tomorrow.” Andrea Jones said.
Thinking of tomorrow is the day of the mother to get the results, there is Klein Williams this guy in, to accompany the mother to talk, the atmosphere is lively that is also good.
“That’s fine, you can wait at the hospital tomorrow. Auntie wants something to eat, you tell me and I’ll bring it over.”
“My mom can’t really eat anything right now, so don’t bother with that. It’s okay if you come.”
“Yeah.” Klein Williams didn’t bother with Andrea Jones, and before she hung up she was telling her to take care of her health and rest, and Andrea Jones nodded her head in response, but turned her eyes to meet Neal Williams’ sweeping gaze.
Those eyes were inquisitive and questioning.
Andrea Jones suddenly realized something.
The conversation between himself and Klein Williams seemed really ambiguous to the ears of the uninformed.
Fearing that Neal Williams might misunderstand, she hurriedly spoke to Klein Williams and hung up the phone.
Neal Williams squeezed her hand, deliberately pretending to be angry, “If I heard correctly, it’s a guy.”
“Mmm! Yes!” She nodded her head, not at all evasive.
As he drove, he continued to interrogate, “The one who kissed you in front of me last time?”
Well.
The good thing about him as a person is that he has a good memory.
So, so long ago he also still remember clearly. However, there is really some discomfort in the heart …
Jealous?
Hmm. Right!
However, the feeling of being able to eat jealousy openly like this is quite refreshing.
Andrea Jones is a little embarrassed.
“… Well, it’s him.” This time the answer was not so straightforward. After a careful glance at his face, she hastily stated, “He and I are just friends. Just the buddy kind! Very good buddies!”
“Is that so?”
Neal Williams asked, not gently.
A half-hearted look.
“Really! I’m not lying to you!” She stressed again, her eyebrows looking more and more vivid.
He found that she really enjoyed watching her like this. It was lovely, very moving.
“Well, believe you! Some day, when you get a chance, bring him across to me to meet him. It’s hard to imagine someone as shy as you can still make buddies.” Neal Williams was telling the truth.
With Andrea Jones as squeamish as she was about men, it couldn’t be more curious to him that there was another man who could be near her and not yet be her boyfriend.
Neal Williams drives a solid car.
Andrea Jones lay down and fell asleep a few moments later. Looking at her quiet sleeping face, Neal Williams took off his jacket and put it on her.
By the time we got to the appointment, she hadn’t woken up.
Outside the window, the night was already filling in. The light from the street lamp shone on her face, reflecting in Neal Williams’ eyes, and he felt a sense of indescribable beauty.
From the time I met her in the cave six years ago until I saw her again later at Lewis Brown’s, I never thought that one day they would actually come together.
The phone boomed before he pulled his eyes away from her sleeping face.
Worried about waking her up, I was busy pulling the phone out and holding it to my ear.
Garret Miller was over there yelling, “Where is it? Why aren’t you here? Everyone here is here, just waiting for you.”
“Well, it’s at the door.”
After a simple response, he hung up the phone without saying anything else.
Andrea Jones was still awake. Arching her jacket over her body and squinting at him, dazed like a little kid, “Are we there yet?”
Neal Williams didn’t answer, just bent his head over her head, his fingers fondly stroking the bangs on her forehead.
“Are you tired lately?”
Andrea Jones grunted, “Didn’t get much sleep last night …”
Neal Williams lost his smile, “That’s my fault.”
He shouldn’t be so unrestrained.
But …
When he thought about how the two fit together last night, he began to miss it again.
Andrea Jones blushed, grabbed his hand and put it between her lips and bit it.
“No nonsense.”
Her mouth was light, her teeth and tongue touched his fingertips, and the wet soft feeling made him feel like he had been electrocuted and his body was on fire.
“Don’t mess around.” Drawing back his hand, he nudged the tip of her nose warningly, “This is naked temptation.”
Now the beast in the body is the time to be wild, a casual provocation, will leap out.
She glared at him angrily and shyly, “I didn’t.”
But, against his burning eyes, she meekly dared not move.
Set aside the clothes on your body to the back seat.
“If you’re tired, get some sleep. It’s okay if we’re late since Garret Miller is calling inside anyway.” Neal Williams completely ignored Garret Miller’s call just now.
Actually …
He just wished he could spend more time with her.
Since her absence from the company, the chances that they can meet are few and far between.
“How can that be? Mr. Yu has already arrived and we are still hanging out, it’s too rude. Besides, this case is very important to us. Get out of the car, don’t dawdle.” Andrea Jones said pushing open the car door to get down.
Looking at her anxious look, Neal Williams smiled bitterly.
Is he the only one who suffers from the pain of longing?

When the two of them arrived at the restaurant, Garret Miller, and Mr. Yu were already there. And …
To the surprise of Andrea Jones, Lewis Brown was also present.
It hasn’t been long since then, but so much has happened that seeing each other again seems like a lifetime ago.
Neal Williams also noticed Lewis Brown, not moving to take Andrea Jones lightly in his arms.
Pulled a chair and sat her down.
Lewis Brown also saw them at this moment, and his eyes fell on their tightly held hands with a complicated expression.
The light in the restaurant is a bit dim, so one can’t see his expression clearly at the moment.
Andrea Jones followed Neal Williams and greeted a circle of people before nodding lightly to Lewis Brown.
“Eh, Mr. Williams, you guys are late, shouldn’t you punish yourselves with a drink?” Mr. Yu seemed to have discovered something mysterious, and in order not to make the atmosphere look awkward, he took the initiative to get up and pour a glass of wine for Neal Williams and Andrea Jones.
“That’s for sure. This is my toast to Mr. Yu!” Neal Williams did not resist in the slightest, and stood up with a glass of wine and drank it all.
Mr. Yu turned his attention back to Andrea Jones, “Miss Jones, this cup is yours.”
In order to facilitate the contract, Andrea Jones did not dare to push back. He stood up with a glass of wine, but before it touched his lips, it was snatched away by a large hand.
Looking up in surprise, Neal Williams gave her a deep look and looked up and said to Mr. Yu, “She’s not very good at drinking, so I might as well take over this glass of wine.”
Mr. Yu laughed out loud, hands dashing in his pockets, “Good, such a heroic rescue, but I am most happy to see.”
Neal Williams was about to drink, and Andrea Jones secretly tugged at the hem of his shirt with a worried look on her face.
“It’s okay, it’s only two drinks, it can’t do anything to me.” He pressed her shoulder soothingly and quietly held her hand tighter under the table.
