The air was suddenly quiet, the atmosphere suddenly awkward to the extreme, Jane Gardner and Zachary Irwin both did not move a muscle.
At this time, the knock on the door sounded.
Jane Gardner, fearing that others might see her sitting ambiguously on Zachary Irwin’s lap, hurriedly rolled over and got up.
“President Irwin, what you asked for is delivered!” The female secretary was holding a thought of unopened aunt’s towel, which she put on the table and glanced in Jane Gardner’s direction with a wonderful face.
Jane Gardner acted as if she saw nothing and knew nothing, either looking out the window or at her feet, anyway, just not to the female secretary.
Her face, red as a cooked lobster.
“Well, hard work, things reimbursed from the account themselves.” Zachary Irwin recovered, he walked up lightly, opened the box, then picked a packet and opened it, took out a piece from it and handed it to Jane Gardner.
Jane Gardner took the aunt’s wipes, she was literally on the verge of tears, and immediately turned around and went to the bathroom.
When Jane Gardner came out, Zachary Irwin’s clothes were changed and a new set of clothes was brought out for her as well.
Jane Gardner did not say anything, silently changed clothes, she had to admire him, thanks to his preparation of clothes, otherwise she how to go back?
When they both finished changing, it was exactly 5:30 after work.
“You are more familiar with Laguna City, there are currently two places to choose from, one is Longwan and one is in the city center, the exact layout of the house, you can look at it later and decide which one you want.” Zachary Irwin took Jane Gardner’s hand, and he naturally led Jane Gardner into the elevator and out of it.
Jane Gardner, however, watched the company all the way to see if anyone saw them, and when she encountered someone, she simply looked down as an ostrich.
Compared to Zachary Irwin’s openness, she seemed cowering.
Zachary Irwin knew that Jane Gardner was resisting himself, so he lifted her head up and forced her to look at him in public: “Is there money on the floor? Jane Gardner, remember, you have nothing to be ashamed of with me by your side!”
“Come on, everyone’s watching.” Jane Gardner was in tears as she struggled to get her face out of his hands.
But Zachary Irwin wouldn’t let go, and she couldn’t hold it.
“Look who dares to look!” When Zachary Irwin said that, all the Sweet Film employees who were looking at them averted their eyes and either looked away or pointed to the sky and said, “Hey, look, it’s a nice day!”
The corners of Jane Gardner’s eyes twitched as she looked at Zachary Irwin, and what else could she say.
After that, Jane Gardner was dragged by Zachary Irwin to look at houses, whether downtown or in Longwan, Jane Gardner thought of living with Zachary Irwin, even if the house is good, she did not want.
“No decision? I’ll do whatever you want this time, whichever you say!” Zachary Irwin was sitting in the car with Jane Gardner, they had just finished looking at the ones downtown and were on their way to Longwan to see them.
“…” Jane Gardner doesn’t say anything, she looks out the window and wonders what the difference is between staying here and going back to Dragon City if they still want to be together.
Zachary Irwin could tell Jane Gardner was not in the mood, and he quieted down, letting the night breeze caress his cheek.
“Zachary Irwin, I’m tired and I don’t want to go look at houses.” Jane Gardner saw that the car kept driving forward, and she typed a line on her phone to Zachary Irwin.
Zachary Irwin’s face changed instantly when he saw the words.
Jane Gardner quietly moved her body to the side, but she really didn’t want to read it.
She was literally suffocating at the thought of the house being bought and her being forcibly pinned to his side.
The past was all in her mind, time had passed, her heart hadn’t.
She didn’t want to repeat the same retreat, much less have the courage to start over with him.
“Are you still thinking about Beck Moore?” Zachary Irwin didn’t stop, much less turn his head, his hand resting on the steering wheel, his tone cloudy.
“…” Jane Gardner felt tired and she closed her eyes, unwilling to argue with him.
Zachary Irwin drove the car to Longwan, where he was led into the house he was looking at by the sales lady.
The house faces the sea, the water is turquoise and green, between the sea and the sky, Jane Gardner breathes in the sea breeze, all the tiredness dissipates a lot.
“President Irwin, this house of ours is now the burst of Laguna City, at present this type of house, and only the last set left, you take a look, if indeed quite satisfied, we will sign the contract today.” The sales lady knows Zachary Irwin’s identity and doesn’t gossip about Jane Gardner, she overstates the case.
A man of Zachary Irwin’s caliber had never seen a luxury home before, and all she needed was to wait for his answer.
“Is there a children’s room here?” Zachary Irwin thought about how Steven Irwin hadn’t answered his phone calls or his videos for the past two days, determined to be angry with him to the end.
He compromised.
“Yes, please come with me, the children’s room is over here.”
Zachary Irwin went with Jane Gardner to see the children’s room. He imagined Jane Gardner and Steven Irwin living together as a family and decided to sign the contract right away.
Jane Gardner blew in the sea breeze, and when Zachary Irwin took the contract and handed it to her, she met him with a firm look in her eyes, “I will accept to be your assistant, but this house, I will never live in it!”
After she showed the word to Zachary Irwin, she turned around and left.
Zachary Irwin saw her leaving and took her hand, then pushed her into the car.
“Jane Gardner, what the hell do you want me to do? The past is in the past, so why do you always have to drag it out!” Zachary Irwin thought about how finding Jane Gardner again might be problematic, but he had already put himself down, dropped Dragon City and the Irwin, and left most of his energy and time here with her.
He really doesn’t know what more he has to do to get her mind off the past.
“Not living with you, that’s the bottom line!” Jane Gardner squeezed her eyes shut, and she opened them again.
“Have to live with me and Steven, that’s the bottom line for me too!” Zachary Irwin grabbed Jane Gardner’s cell phone and threw her phone into the back seat as he stared straight at Jane Gardner, “I remember telling you a million times before that you were mine once and for the rest of your life! Not only do you have to live with me in the future, but in the future, in your next life, you will only live with me!”
For five years, Zachary Irwin suffered the pain of sleepless nights.
He vowed that when he found Jane Gardner again, he would not be separated from her.
He was really scared, and he couldn’t bear to open his eyes every day and worry that Jane Gardner would disappear again.
So, only by locking her firmly to his side, trapped in his eyes, his heart can be fixed.
“…” Jane Gardner had no cell phone, so it was futile for her to say anything else. She tilted her head to the side, closed her eyes and stopped talking.
Zachary Irwin drove along, the car was silent, and when they arrived at the Imperial Hotel, Zachary Irwin was ready to take Jane Gardner out to eat, but Jane Gardner had locked herself in the bathroom.
They were only separated by a door, but their hearts, nonetheless, were a hundred thousand miles apart.
