“So, you’re Mr. Tangger. Forgive my rudeness.” Hansen stood in the middle of the room and spoke to Zevulon in an imposing manner.
Zevulon was never known for being nosy. Naturally, he didn’t think much about the relationship between Hansen and Jenna. When he heard Hansen calling Jenna his wife, he was floored for a long time before coming back to his senses. He then glanced at both Sfeffan and Hansen, and cleared his throat.
“Oh, Mr. Richards, nice to meet you. It turns out that Dory is your wife. Forgive my feeble old brain for failing to see this. Well, how about this?” He took a step forward, bowed his head and whispered teasingly, “I always dote on my apprentices, but sometimes I can be a bit harsh. If I had offended Dory in the past, then allow me to offer my apology.”
As he spoke, he took out a cigarette from his pocket, put it under his nose, and sniffed it. Then, he lit it slowly and steadily.
“Alvin.” Hansen was a wise man. He was clear-headed and immediately smiled. He said to Alvin, who was standing beside him, “Go to the trunk and bring the top-grade cigars for Mr. Tangger.”
“Yes.” Alvin obeyed, immediately heading out.
“Oh, please, you didn’t have to.” Zevolun’s expression was taken over by seriousness. “It’s only right for a teacher to teach his apprentices.”
“Of course, of course.” Hansen smiled. “And it’s only right for me to be courteous to such a respected master.”
While they were talking, Alvin came in with a bag of wine and cigarettes, as well as a top-grade cigar.
“Mr. Tangger, I’ll leave this with you.” Alvin put a bag full of expensive things on a short stool beside him, deliberately leaving the bag open. It was loaded with the exquisitely packaged, pure, top quality cigar. Amazement filled Zevulon’s eyes.
Steffan stood by the side, with his face twitching. His respected teacher’s eyes were shining brightly. His expression had long betrayed the thoughts of him being bribed by Hansen.
Alas, his master was good at everything, but he liked to take advantage when given an opportunity. How mortifying!
He shifted his gaze to Jenna. Finally, his gaze fell on the hand that Hansen was holding on to Jenna. His eyes darkened.
If the current Jenna had a slight sense of rejection in her eyes, or perhaps she was a little annoyed or repulsed by Hansen, then he would have taken her away from his side regardless of anything.
However, she didn’t. There was even a shy expression on her face, and she didn’t even spare a glance at him. He was completely ignored. At that moment, he had a sense of defeat.
“Mr. Tangger, I have something to do at the company. I have to go now.” He walked past Zevulon with a cold face.
“Hey, boy…” Zevulon was about to say something to him, but Steffan only left him a view of his back and soon disappeared at the door.
Zevulon shook his head.
“Oh, come to think of it, Dory, this famous expert in the United States, Pillar, has done meaningful research on amnesia. After he saw what happened to you in the newspaper, he came here on his own initiative and decided to treat you actively. Well now, you can cooperate with this expert in the future. I also hope that you can return to your normal life,” he informed, gesturing towards Pillar.
“Nice to meet you, Miss Lexantra.” Upon catching sight of him, the foreigner, Pillar, smiled and made the first move to greet her enthusiastically with a vivid expression.
Jenna was stunned. It turned out that the foreign man in the room was an expert in amnesia, and he had come here especially for her. It was no wonder he was so interested in her when he saw her.
She was nervous. On one hand, she still hoped to remember the past. On the other hand, she had a faint worry. Was she worried that her past was not as she expected it to be? She couldn’t say.
In reality, this feeling was deeply imprinted in her mind and she also understood that she was worried that her previous life was an unhappy one. She was afraid that she would choose to give up the man who was holding her hand by her side.
At that time, Jenna just bowed her head and said, “Mr. Tangger, there is still some time left. I will go up to the drawing room first.” She did not answer Zevolun’s question directly.
When Steffan had left the grounds, Hansen felt very relieved. He did not insist on going up with her.
Jenna sat in the drawing room. From time to time, she could hear the laughter between Hansen and Mr. Tangger downstairs. It seemed that this guy really had some tricks up his sleeve. He had charmed Mr. Tangger so quickly. Obviously, they got along quite well.
“The air here is so terrible. I won’t allow you to come here again.”
As soon as they sat in the car, she heard Hansen’s overbearing voice. It was because he was not used to the smell of the paint. He knitted his eyebrows together.
“I already told you that you didn’t have to come. Who’s to blame for kicking up a fuss?” Jenna said somewhat impatiently. The reason she could still stay so calmly in Srirano was mainly that she wanted to learn the art of car design from Zevulon.
It had to be said that Zevulon was an expert in this area. From these few days of learning, she had understood the true essence of art. With such a good opportunity, how could she give up so easily?
Hansen heard the irritation in her tone and smiled. It seemed that this woman’s anger had grown a lot after she lost her memory.
“You know, it’s fine if you want to come here every day. In the future, I’ll get someone to clean up this place. I also hope that you’ll agree to get treated by Professor Pillar.” He immediately changed his words and smiled.
Jenna felt very helpless in front of him, a man who went back on his word.
Hansen took the opportunity to sit and squeeze himself next to her. Jenna had nowhere to run. She could only force herself to adapt to his existence.
In a flash, the car came to a halt at Yintern Group’s building. Jenna took out her mobile phone to have a look and could not help but sputter an ‘ah’.
“Oh no, it’s late. It’s already ten o’clock.” She opened the door in a panic and got out.
“What’s the rush?” Hansen also got out of the car. He held her hand and said calmly.
“Each family has its rules, each country has its rules, and each company has its rules and regulations. I’m an employee of the Yintern Group, so of course, I can’t violate the rules and regulations.” Jenna picked up her pace.
“As the boss, I don’t even care. Why are you in such a hurry?” The corner of Hansen’s mouth curled slightly. He continued holding her hand, and walked slowly and measuredly.
Jenna’s heart was coiled with anxiety. She hadn’t heard the meaning of Hansen’s words, or perhaps, she couldn’t have imagined it.
“Let go of me. I’m going to enter the company.” Jenna shook off his hand.
“No can do, I can’t see clearly.” The corners of Hansen’s mouth rose as he continued acting like a rogue.
“Don’t you have Alvin with you?”
“Alvin is not as sweet as my wife.”
Fine, Jenna caved in.
“Don’t you need to go to work?” She had to change her strategy. “I mean, we’re in front of the elevator.”
“That’s right. I’m just going to work. My office is on the 21st floor.” Hansen smiled deeply.
Jenna thought about it. That was right. The Richards Group had moved above their floor the day before. They were the cause of the clashing and clattering sounds around their office on the previous day. That was why she had gone out with Steffan.
He probably had done it on purpose.
Thinking of this, she shot a glance at him. The elevator bell rang, and she immediately got rid of his hand and ran out.
She didn’t let out a sigh of relief until she ran to the elevator door.
