Jessie didn’t expect Kevin to care so much about this matter. It was indeed a bit careless of her. After all, she had given him the gift as a token of her gratitude.
"Mr. Harper, I’ll make another special one for you next ti. Don’t be upset."
Looking at Jessie’s cheerful expression, Kevin couldn’t help but feel annoyed. While he was feeling frustrated, she seed completely unbothered, even having a carefree smile on her face.
"I’m not upset. I just can’t believe how you could casually give it away, especially to..."
He was, in truth, suspicious if Jessie was aware that Steve liked her. But seeing her so carefree, she probably didn’t know.
She burst into laughter. "Mr. Harper, we’re just normal friends. It’s just a simple gift. Aren’t you being a bit too sensitive?"
She would have been angry before, wondering why Kevin thought of her like this. But now, she found him exceedingly endearing, even making her feel like she wanted to tease him.
"If giving it to him ans I have feelings for him, then today I also gave Miss Rossi a gift. Does that an I have a crush on Miss Rossi?"
Hearing the first part, Kevin’s expression relaxed a bit. But after hearing the latter part, he couldn’t help but frown slightly. This girl really said whatever ca to her mind.
However, he quite liked her honesty. It ant that she wasn’t pretentious, always up to speak out what was on her mind.
"Miss Rossi? Miss Rossi from Rossi Group? Why did she co to see you?"
He had always wanted to know more about Jessie’s thoughts, but he didn’t know how to bring it up. Today was a perfect opportunity.
Jessie casually recounted how she had run into Julia, not sparing any details to Kevin.
"Today, Miss Rossi ca looking for to vent her issues and tell her feelings for President Harper. She’s head over heels, yet nobody in her family supports her, making her feel very miserable. She said I’m the only one who has her back, so she ca to for advice."
Hearing this, Kevin raised an eyebrow slightly.
To his knowledge, Jessie had not been in any significant relationships, and her previous boyfriend was a jerk. So, he was curious about what she had advised Julia and asked.
"What did you say to her? Do you have much experience in this area?"
She waved her hand and sat on the sofa. "Don’t flatter ; you know what kind of person my ex-boyfriend was. I don’t have any strategies. In terms of relationships, I really have no experience at all. But..."
Shifting her tone, she glanced him up and down before directly saying, "But at least I have more experience compared to you, Mr. Harper. You get all worked up just because I tease you with a few words, and you always keep your guard up against ."
"Jessie." Kevin’s face turned serious. "I heard that Miss Rossi has a willful and unruly nature. If you give her misguided advice, and she finds it useless, she might co back to trouble you."
Jessie pouted. "I only gave her so advice, and it’s not like I guaranteed her that it would turn out effective. I rely suggested she frequently approach President Harper and chat more about work matters. After all, he wouldn’t be able to refuse work-related topics, right? In such interactions over ti, they will naturally have solitary monts together and slowly brew their feelings for each other.
"Words are just words. Human connections need actual contact. I feel like the reason President Harper doesn’t like Miss Rossi is that they haven’t interacted much. I’m curious to see what he looks like, but unfortunately, I only almost caught a glimpse of him last ti. He was surrounded by too many bodyguards, so I had no chance to.
"Even the dia hasn’t captured any photos of him. Their confidentiality is superb. For so many years, keeping won at bay—either he has an issue regarding his sexuality, or he’s just unbearably arrogant. After eting with Miss Rossi, I feel like she’s quite nice. If President Harper spends ti with her, he might eventually fall for her."
Hearing this, Kevin could feel his anger simring. He clenched his fists and reassured himself several tis to refrain from exploding.
"I advise you not to say such things. I think it’s impossible for President Harper to like Miss Rossi. Moreover, forcing himself to be around soone he doesn’t like is suffocating. Be cautious. If he already hates such actions and ends up suspecting that you’re the one orchestrating everything from behind, you might get in deep trouble."
Upon hearing this, Jessie’s eyebrows furrowed as she retorted, "If that’s the case, then he must have a pretty narrow perspective. Liking soone isn’t wrong, nor is pursuing them.
Furthermore, rumors suggest that he isn’t that young anymore, but he’s still unmarried. But Miss Rossi is still bold and eager in expressing her love; he should just accept that."
Kevin’s complexion darkened. Why was he suddenly being perceived as an old man?
He suppressed the emotions bubbling within. If it weren’t for his great amount of patience, he might have revealed his identity then and there. The more frustrating thing was that Jessie kept questioning his sexual orientation.
"He’s only thirty, but he’s already being considered as an old man?"
"I an, what if he looks old-fashioned or exudes a mature vibe? Without being seasoned and capable, how could he possibly manage his subordinates as a president? He wouldn’t be in his current position had it not been for his ample qualifications and skills."
Jessie spoke earnestly, though he knew better to maintain a calm façade.
"Plus, thirty is considered old, right?"
Kevin clenched his fist, steadily gazing at her. "Care to repeat that?"
Only then did she realize that he was almost the sa age. She quickly retracted her words.
"Sorry, I didn’t an it that way; it’s just how it ca out."
She swiftly changed the topic, "Anyway, Miss Rossi and I have quite a good connection, and I genuinely like her bold and decisive nature. After all, President Harper doesn’t have a companion yet—her way of chasing him isn’t wrong. She even claid that if he was already in a committed relationship, she would step back imdiately and never intervene.
"Her values are correct, so I support her actions."
Hearing this, a plan ford in Kevin’s mind.
Perhaps he should have directly inford Julia that he was already married.
