Chapter 625 It's You Who Are Fated to Be (31)
James could tell from Nell's tone that she was very happy.
He leaned against the back of his chair, stretched his body comfortably, and held his phone with a smile. "A pay raise? That's good."
"Yes!" Nell said in an excited tone, as if she was seeking praise. "Our boss is usually a stingy person. This time, he suddenly gave me a raise. I was also very surprised. This might be because I usually work seriously."
"Congratulations. You deserve this."
"Thank you!" Nell answered with a smile.
"We agreed tonight that you'll treat me to a big meal."
"Of course!" Nell asked, "What are you doing now?"
"Reading the documents!"
The voice of a female secretary came from the microphone. "Mr. Walker, you need to sign here."
Nell was stunned.
What a gentle female voice. Moreover, her tone was extremely light and carried a trace of charm, causing Nell's mind to instantly become alert.
Immediately, Nell stopped talking.
By the time the female secretary took the documents out of James' hands and left, Nell had yet to come back to her senses.
"Nell, why are you suddenly silent?"
A jealous voice came from the microphone. "I was afraid of disturbing your work with your secretary!"
After Nell finished speaking, there was no sound from the other side of the line.
Nell thought that James felt that she had interfered with his work and was angry with her, so he did not answer her again. Her heart chilled, and she was ready to hang up the phone after saying something to avoid the embarrassment of both sides.
Just as she was about to open her mouth, James' soft and pleasant voice rang out.
"It turns out that my Nell is jealous!" James said faintly.
Nell frowned.
This did not seem like an angry tone.
However, jealous?
"Who is jealous? Besides, why should I be jealous?"
James pointed out with a smile. "Then who suddenly stopped talking just now because I spoke to the secretary? Aren't you jealous?"
Nell carefully recalled her reaction just now.
Ever since James' secretary had spoken, Nell had always felt that her heart was stuffy and filled with sadness. That feeling made her very uncomfortable because she had never felt this before. Thus, she didn' know what was going on.
Now that she heard James say this, her mind was buzzing.
She was really jealous just now, and... she was jealous of James.
How could this be? How could she be jealous of James?
She shook her head and stammered, "I just... I was suddenly distracted. I wasn't jealous. I definitely wasn't. Don't misunderstand!"
James held back his laughter. "Alright, you are not jealous."
"Then you can do your work now!" Nell was about to hang up after she finished speaking.
"Wait a minute!" James stopped her in time.
"What?"
"There's no need to wait until tonight. Let's have lunch together. It's my treat!" James said.
"Lunch?"
"What's wrong? Do you have an appointment at noon?" James' voice suddenly sank. "Which man from your press?"
Nell could not help but laugh. "How could I have an appointment with another man? It will be fine at noon."
James' tone relaxed a bit. "Okay, we'll meet at noon. I'll pick you up at your office at noon."Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
"Alright!" Nell mentioned, "Since you'll come over at noon, why don't we interview in the afternoon?"
Previously, James had promised her that he would help her do an interview. The magazine was about to be released, but the photo on the cover had not been taken yet. Nell wanted James to come over tomorrow. Since he would come over at noon today, he could take a photo of the magazine cover.
James spoke in a business-like tone, "Interview? You know that. I never accept interviews from magazines."
Nell frowned. "What do you mean? Do you want to go back on your word? You promised me before."
"I promised you that I would consider it, but I didn't say OK. So I could go back on my word at any time!"
Nell was speechless.
This was the true nature of a businessman. As expected, he was cunning. He wanted to go back on his word. Nell was so angry that she gritted her teeth. "Then I made a lot of effort in your company for so many days. Wasn't it a waste?"
"If you didn't keep saying that you wanted to meet Don, I wouldn't have made such a decision!"
Nell was almost angered by James.
"You... you are taking revenge for your grudge!"
"Can't I?"
He even admitted it so confidently.
Nell was so angry that she was incoherent. "Alright, James. If you go back on your word, I'll..."
"Actually, I can shoot a magazine. However, I have conditions!"
Nell, who was fuming with anger just now, immediately calmed down. Her voice softened. "Well, James, I knew it. You are still very nice to me. What are your conditions? If I agree to your conditions, you must shoot our magazine!"
Even Nell herself looked down on herself. Just now, she was so indignant about criticizing James that she almost swore. In the next second, she had to coax him like he was her boss.
"It's very simple!" James said calmly, "I only have one request."
"Tell me. No matter what you say, I'll promise you."
"Wear the clothes that I bought for you tonight!"
Wearing the clothes he bought? That was too simple.
Nell nodded repeatedly and hurriedly agreed, "Alright. No matter how many clothes you bought, I will wear them for you!"
James smiled meaningfully. "Really?"
"Yeah. If you don't believe me, I'll write you a guarantee when you arrive."
"Sure!"
"Then it's a deal. You have to shoot the cover for us in the afternoon."
"Alright!"
Nell and James had lunch at noon. During the meal, Nell wrote James a guarantee.
In the afternoon, James entered the studio and interview room.
During the photoshoot, Nell stood by the side and stared at James, who was constantly changing his posture, exuding his charm. Nell was almost unable to breathe. Nell was blushing and her heart was beating so fast that she was constantly fanning her hands to cool herself. The assistant beside her looked at her worriedly.
"Ms. Hutt, you don't look good. Your face is sweating. What happened to you? Are you okay?"
The assistant's words immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the studio, including James'.
