Escort? President!
Chapter 46: I Lied to You

Just as she was browsing through every entry in a recruitment website, her mobile phone rang suddenly. Felicity was scared; she took out the mobile phone to have a look and found that it was David calling.

She thought of the time when Lucas was embarrassing her and David stepped up to help. Felicity picked up the call.

"Felicity, hi! How have you been?"

David asked her in a cautious tone.

"I'm doing fine. How did you call?"

Felicity held back all the negative emotions. She did not want to appear too weak, or to let others know how coward she was.

"If you are free, can you meet me for a bit? There's something I want to hear your opinion about."

She had already resigned and had absolutely nothing to do, so she agreed to meet him.

In Felicity's opinion, David was different from Lucas.

He was also rejected by her, but unlike Lucas he decided to be a decent human being about it and chose to silently guard her as a friend; while Lucas decided to bully and take revenge for rejecting him. Because of that, her impression of David became a little more favorable.

However, he was just as a friend.

The two met at a small pub near Felicity's residence.

The rumors about that night were very strong in nature. After greeting her, the first thing David asked her in a concerned voice was, "What happened that night?"

That night was indeed the most dramatic one in the history of JC University.

First, Lucas was expelled, and the Branson Group suddenly announced that they would be moving out of JC City. Then, Anne and the other two, with the signs in the campus ground, made a huge fool of themselves.

"They were targeting me. But, fortunately, the president of the Reed Group, Jason Reed came forward to help me."

Felicity roughly described that day's situation to David.

"Was that really that powerful and rich president of the Reed Group, Jason Reed, who helped you?"

David was a little shocked at first, so he asked again.

"Yes."

Felicity nodded.

When Felicity confirmed it herself, David couldn't help but feel a little bitter unpleasantness in his heart.

His lips raised in a wry smile, as he said to Felicity, "Felicity, Congratulations!"

Felicity was taken aback for a moment, not understanding what he meant. Then a self-deprecating smile appeared on her face as she said, "There's nothing between us. Don't misunderstand. He just helped me. Between us... It's impossible."

There was a spark in David's eyes, but it soon faded down.

"By the way, what did you want to ask me?"

Felicity remembered that David asked her out to ask her opinion about something.

"My family wants me to study abroad..."

"Wow! That sounds great. It would be a great learning opportunity! It's a pity that I'd never have this kind of opportunity in my life."

Hearing Felicity's encouraging tone, David's heart broke a little.

It looked like she didn't need him in her life.

Before he asked Felicity out tonight, David had already thought about it. If he could, he wanted to stay beside her and take care of her. But hearing her tone, he felt like he thought too much into it.

The words of confession that he had prepared... He swallowed them back quietly.

To ease the embarrassment, David called the waiter and ordered their drinks.

At that moment, Felicity's mobile phone rang.

It was Jason.

But just like when she first came to the pub, Felicity quickly rejected the call.

David who saw everything couldn't help asking, "Why didn't you pick it up?"

"It's nothing. Just spam call."

Felicity smiled trying to hide the bitter feeling in her heart. Her eyes, however, gave her feelings away. "Do you like him very much?"

David could see that Felicity had been suppressing her emotions.

The two phone calls that she rejected were clearly not spam calls; he had a hunch it was Jason calling her.

"No, ignore it. Let's go out for a stroll. It's no fun sitting here all the time." Felicity wanted to change her mood, so she got up and walked outside. David's eyes lit up a little as he got up and quickly followed her outside.

Just as they walked out of the pub, a Porsche stopped in front of them.

The car door opened slowly, and the person who came out of the car was Jason.

Facing Jason and his deep eyes, Felicity felt a panicked and subconsciously avoided his eyes.

Jason approached them slowly.

Why was such a handsome man with Felicity?

Was that the reason why didn't answer the phone?

Jason felt anger rising from the bottom of his heart and his face turned icy cold.

"Why didn't you answer my call?" He asked in his cold voice.

Felicity did not answer, nor did she look into Jason's eyes, pretending to be indifferent. "Why?"

Jason repeated his question again, his tone even heavier and colder than before.

"If she doesn't want to say it, you should not force it."

Seeing that Jason's attitude was becoming more and more

domineering and his voice became more and more cold, David could not help but try to defend Felicity. en.swhovels.net

"It's none of your business. Please leave!"

Jason glanced at David and told him to leave coldly.

He asked Felicity the question, why was this man butting in?

At that time, Felicity had a sudden idea.

She suddenly reached out and hooked her arm in David's and gave him a tender look.

David's breath hitched for a second as he looked into her eyes and then smiled subconsciously.

Since he met Felicity, this was the first time that was looking at him with such eyes; her eyes were twinkling, filled with warmth and love... Jason looked at the two people in front of him, his eyes turned icy as he frowned at them.

"What do you mean?"

Felicity smiled lightly.

"Mr. Reed, thank you for helping me out recently. Actually, I lied to you. I already have a boyfriend. David is my boyfriend!"

Jason sneered coldly. His eyes were burning with an icy cold fire. He looked at David sharply.

Him? He looked handsome, but compared to Jason, he was nothing at all.

David was not afraid. Instead, he was calmly staring into Jason's eyes.

The only problem was, he could feel Felicity's arm shaking ceaselessly.

He didn't know what problems Felicity was going through, but at this moment, he was sure that Felicity needed him!

"Mr. Reed, Felicity told me all about

you. I really appreciate your help to my girlfriend in such a troubling time Why don't I invite you to dinner some day?"

He didn't know where that courage came from, he just suddenly found himself following Felicity's story and helping her by acting like hero boyfriend.

Jason's face looked like a glacier, without saying a word, staring at Felicity for a long time.

Just when Felicity couldn't handle it anymore, Jason opened his mouth.

He suddenly shot her a scoffing smile, "Hmm, so you are quite boring too."

With that he shot her another deep look, and then turned around, got into the car and left.

Looking at the car leaving, Felicity felt like a huge stone just fell on her chest; the pain was terrible.☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
