Chapter 1308 I Like You Just Because I Do

"Just a close friend," Claire responded casually. She began typing a reply to Saskia Holt while saying to Rowan, "She had a job interview today and something really corny happened. Somehow, she ended up being selected as the president's assistant."

Listening, Rowan thought to himself, as long as it's not Tristan, it's fine. Besides, he wasn't interested in other people's affairs.

"If the president is young, successful, and single," Claire couldn't resist making a joke, "who knows, there might be a chance for something more!"

Rowan asked, "Do all you girls think like this?"

"What do you mean 'you girls'? What's 'think like this'? It's a perfectly normal thought, alright?" Claire finished typing her message and sent it. She turned to look at him, "Oh, by the way, you've met this girl before! Saskia Holt! The one who tried to jump into the river after a heartbreak last time, and you saved her! Do you remember?"

Before Rowan could answer, Claire laughed, "I'll formally introduce you two one of these days!"

"I don't really want to meet your close friend," Rowan responded seriously.

"Why?" The girl was taken aback, "Don't... don't you want to know me better?"

"I don't need to get to know you through her," Rowan reminded her kindly.

Claire paused, then held back a laugh, "Are you afraid she'll fall for you?"

"I'm not that confident," Rowan said without joking, "I just don't want any other women around because I don't know what kind of people they are, so I cut off potential Daphnes at the root."

"..." Claire's bright eyes sparkled, and she lifted the corners of her mouth into a charming smile, "So, Dr. Watson, you've just been shocked the shit out of you for Daphne?"

He didn't care about her teasing. He only cared about her, and he didn't want her to get hurt again.

"How smug!" Claire teased, then assured him, "Saskia Holt would never like a doctor. Doctors are too busy; the profession itself would scare her off."

"But don't I have personal charm? Otherwise, why would you like me?" Dr. Watson said, a bit cheeky yet full of confidence.

Under the warm sun and amidst the soft breeze, Claire looked at him, her smile radiant like a painting. She took a step forward, reaching out to hold his hand. "What the heart decides, my mouth can't answer," she said softly, "I like you just because I do!"

Rowan watched her, her eyes crinkling with laughter, and patted her head, "Shall we go?"

Claire followed Rowan as they continued towards the mountain peak. As they walked, he let go of her hand and wrapped his arm around her shoulder. She looked back at him and smiled, "What do you like about me?" Her eyes were filled with love and tenderness.

Rowan said to her, "What the heart decides, my mouth can't answer."

"..." The girl couldn't help but laugh at his jest.

The morning sunlight was gentle, the breeze rustling the leaves, making a shushing sound. The sky was a clear blue through the gaps in the leaves. The Clarke Corp.

Inside the spacious and bright president's office, Tristan was dealing with documents.

From the moment Saskia Holt stepped out of the elevator, her heart was in knots. Would the president be difficult to deal with? Would he be some aloof cold guy? She only knew about the company's positions, not who the president was, and she certainly hadn't thought she'd end up working as his assistant.

Like this, she followed Kevin into the president's office.

In front of the large antique-style desk by the window, Tristan was reviewing documents, marking something with a pen, looking very serious. Saskia Holt came up to the desk and bowed at a 90-degree angle, "Good day, Mr. president, my name is Saskia Holt!"
