Chapter 36 Other People Might Think That I Had Feelings for You
Jason couldn’t help but subconsciously move two steps to the side, widening the distance betweenboth Gail and himself. At the same time, the man still kept eye contact with Aletta. As for Aletta herself,she just stood there before she focused her gaze on those documents she had been holding.
It looked as if both Gail and Jason before her didn’t really matter to her. Little did those two know thatshe was extremely agitated. In particular, that moment when Gail called Jason very intimately thatmade her somehow feel pissed.
Seeing that Aletta seemed indifferent toward him and Gail, Jason’s eyes darkened as if he wanted totell Aletta that he didn’t like her being indifferent. Gail wasn’t blind, she could see that Jason was irkedbecause of Aletta. She tried to suppress her feelings as she put on her usual fake warm smile as shesaid, “Aletta, I didn’t expect that Jason’s client tonight is you. If I had known, I would’ve come.”
Clearly, Gail wanted to show how intimate she was with Jason as she added, “The last time we met inthe party, we ran into some troubles. I’m so sorry that I didn’t have the time to apologize to you.”
However, Aletta could see through Gail’s bullshit. Somehow, Gail’s overly sweet facade really wantedto make Aletta herself vomit because it was just too fake. Thus, she tried her best to not vomit byignoring that bitch.
She told Jason coldly, “Since I’ve settled the company’s affairs, I’ll leave. I won’t bother the two of you.”
After she said that, she quickly picked up her phone and bag to leave the room. Seeing that she wasbeing ignored, Gail was upset. She cursed inwardly, ‘How dare this bitch try to ignore me! I can’t just lether leave like this!’
Gail became even more determined to make Aletta suffer. The former pretended to shout eagerly inhopes of making the latter stay longer as the former tried to run to make her stay. Unfortunately, shetripped over the chair next to her that made her fall to the floor instantly.
Since Gail thought that Jason would definitely catch her, she felt that it would piss Aletta even more byseeing how close Gail and Jason were. To her surprise, Jason didn’t even help her. There she was onthe floor, looking like an idiot as she looked at the man angrily.
Meanwhile, Aletta, who could see that Gail’s plan didn’t work, was smirking as she made a scathingremark, “Gosh, Gail, have you ever thought that I could see you through those tricks of yours after allthese years? It’s really obvious that you want to make me mad.”
Hearing Aletta’s scathing remark, Jason couldn’t help but be stunned over it. The man looked at her,visibly complicated. He obviously could hear that Aletta was insinuating that Gail fell down the stairsback then. Jason then lowered his eyes, looking at Gail coldly.
Feeling that she was cornered, Gail became even more panicked as she quickly explained, “No, Aletta,you misunderstood me. I was just too anxious, so I didn’t notice this chair.”
But Aletta still could see through Gail’s bullshit and sneered as she coldly told Gail and pointed atJason, “Stand still, then. Don’t tell me that you’re being pushed by me again, okay? We’ve got awitness here. Also, I think I’ve got nothing to say to you. Next time you see me, just pretend that wedon’t really know each other. I’m disgusted with you!”
The moment Aletta said that, the woman didn’t even spare a glance to Gail as she coldly walked out ofthe room. When Jason saw her leaving, the man instinctively wanted to chase her. However, he wasstopped by Gail who was still on the floor. The woman tearfully looked at him, signaling to him that shewished to be pitied by him.
She then said, “Jason, you’ve got to trust me! I really didn’t mean that, I really just want to apologize toAletta!”
Surprisingly to Gail, Jason glared at her as he told her firmly, “She definitely didn’t need it. Why are youstill bothering her? Also, you know I’m here to meet clients. So, why do you still come to meddle?”
His cold response really shocked her, but she quickly tried to explain, “I just wanted to come in and sayhello, I-”
Jason immediately cut her off before she finished what she said, “What’s your relationship with theclients? You dared to come here, but in what capacity are you going to greet him?”
This time, Jason really looked pissed that frightened Gail. The woman might never have thought thatdoing this by herself would make him so angry. Her eyes immediately reddened as she tearfully said,“I’m sorry for not thinking about that, Jason.”
Even if she was crying pitifully now, Jason didn’t pity her. Instead, the man just warned her coldly, “Idon’t want what happened today to happen again, okay?”
As soon as he said that, the man rushed in to take his coat to get out. When he was already out of theroom, he instructed Eaton to handle Gail whom the assistant obediently did. As for Gail, the woman stillsat on the floor. She couldn’t understand what had just happened. After all, she was nice and polite.Yet, why would that offend Jason very much?
The moment Eaton entered the room, the man just took a glance as he led her out of the room.Frankly, he never felt any sympathy for her. His boss hated other people barging into his office,especially when it came to business deals. Yet, this woman dared to do that which obviously irked hisboss.
Was she an idiot or what? What she did was an extremely stupid move. If she still dared to do this, onlyGod knew what would happen to her!
The moment Jason got out of his office, he quickened up his pace to catch up with Aletta. Although theman had no idea why he would be this anxious, he still felt that he had to catch up to her. Nevertheless,it wasn’t supposed to be an issue because Aletta was still standing at the elevator’s door now.
Since it was lunchtime, there were lots of people who used the elevator that made it longer for ehr towait. To her shock, she saw Jason who came behind her. After the man stood next to her, he couldn’thelp but take her hand as they walked side by side. It caught the woman off-guard, but she immediatelykept her cool as she asked, “What the hell do you think you’re doing?”
“I’ll bring you to the VIP elevator,” he responded without thinking.
The moment she heard that, Aletta looked at her coldly. Who was going to take the elevator with them?It sounded so fishy.
“Don’t bother, I’ll just take this elevator,” she said.
When Aletta tried to get out of his grip, she struggled a lot because his grip was a firm one. Before shemanaged to get off, Jason forcefully brought her to the VIP elevator. She felt extremely annoyed. Thewoman really had no idea why he would do this.
Seeing that she was already in the elevator, the woman had no choice but to resign to her fate andasked, “Do your grandpa know about your inappropriate behavior? If you do this, you’ll only put me at adisadvantage. Other people might think that I’ve got feelings for you. You’ve got to think about it.”
Thinking of what just happened in the office just now and Jenny’s warning to her made Aletta evenmore upset. Meanwhile, the man just stared at her face blankly as he asked her with a cool tone, “Who
would think that you’ve got something for me?”
After Jason returned here, the two of them met again.
Clearly, Aletta avoided him. She sneered and said, “Everyone from your family thinks so, even Gail. Doyou think she came to your office just to say hi?”
