On the way ho from campus, Lilia took out her phone to check the ti. She noticed that a ssage had arrived in the Other app two hours ago.
When Lilia opened the ssage, her bad mood was imdiately swept away like sand in the waves. The corner of her mouth automatically lifted into a smile.
[Jean]: "Where are you going?"
Lilia imdiately replied to the ssage, "To my brother's campus."
The woman thought that Jean would not read the ssage anyti soon and intended to close the application. Surprisingly, only a few seconds after the ssage was sent, Jean replied to the ssage.
[Jean]: "What's wrong?"
Lilia stared at the phone screen for a few monts. She didn't know how to answer the man's question. Should Lilia talk about the trouble her brother had caused? But she didn't want to burden Jean with her family's problems. If she continued to depend on that man, she was afraid that she would turn into a flabby woman.
Since Lilia took too long to think, her cell phone started ringing and Jean's na appeared on the screen. Lilia picked up the phone, but she didn't say a word. She could hear a faint voice on the other end of the line.
When Lilia didn't say anything, Jean's deep voice finally began to speak, "Why are you silent?"
Jean's gentle tone was able to calm Lilia's chaotic mind. She took a deep breath before answering in a mischievous tone, "Isn't the person on the phone the one who needs to talk first? I just want to make you talk!"
Even though Lilia tried to sound casual by teasing Jean, the man's silence showed that Lilia's attempt to outwit him did not work.
"Where are you now?" Jean asked.
"On the way ho."
"If you have nothing else to do, stop by the office."
Lilia frowned at that. It was only 4 PM and Jean must be busy. Why did that man suddenly tell her to co over?
"Is there any problem?
"Just co first. Kenny will be waiting for you there." Jean said before hanging up the phone.
The woman had no other choice and could only ask the taxi driver to go to the Genesis Company office. Along the way to Jean's office, Lilia felt worried and continued to guess the worst that could happen. Fortunately, the university was not far from Jean's office. In just 15 minutes, the taxi arrived in front of the office building.
As Lilia got out of the car, she saw Kenny who was wearing a gray suit. The man was standing outside the lobby door as he kept his eye on the highway. Lilia felt a little sorry to see Jean's assistant drying in the sun.
"Miss Lilia!" Kenny imdiately ran over to her, "Please co in! President Jean asked to escort you directly to his office."
"Sorry to keep you waiting outside in this hot weather, Kenny." Lilia expressed her guilt.
"No, you didn't keep waiting. I was just coming out of the lobby when you arrived." Kenny hurriedly rejected Lilia's apology.
The man escorted her to Jean's office on the top floor just like before, but this ti Lilia got a lot of curious looks from the staff who passed her.
She wasn't surprised that many of Jean's employees were present at the celebration party yesterday as guests. Lilia had a suspicion that the news about her relationship with Jean had spread widely among the staff, all because of Jean showing off their closeness during the party!
When Lilia arrived at Jean's office, the owner of the room was not there.
"The president is still in a eting but it will end soon, please wait here for a mont." Kenny told Lilia.
As Kenny said, Jean appeared only five minutes after Lilia arrived. He was carrying a stack of docunts in his arms and looked tired. However, when the man saw Lilia, his face beca a little more excited.
"Have you been waiting long?" Jean asked in a warm voice.
Lilia shook her head, "No, I just got here." She said while playing with the sofa cushions. Seeing Jean's face again reminded Lilia of the mont their lips had almost touched. The mory made her feel embarrassed through and through.
Suddenly Jean's face appeared right in front of Lilia, "Are you alright? Your face is red." The man asked in worry.
Lilia jumped in shock and hurriedly walked away, "I-I'm fie. I-I should have asked you that! Why did you call here when you were busy? Did sothing happen?"
Lilia rembered the voice of conversation she heard when Jean called. The voice must have co from the eting Jean had just joined. If that man called in the middle of a eting, there must be sothing important he had to tell her. Still, Lilia had no idea what it was.
Lilia stared at Jean's calm face with a frown. The man didn't seem rushed or panicked, he looked very relaxed. He made Lilia feel stupid for worrying about things.
Jean just smiled at Lilia's annoyed gaze. He placed his docunts on the desk before opening one of his desk drawers. The man took out a box that was neatly wrapped in paper, "For you."
Lilia looked at him in surprise, "What's this special occasion?"
Her feelings were mixed having seen the gift. She felt a bit frustrated that all her worries had just gone in vain. At the sa ti, Lilia was also touched because Jean still took the ti to give her gifts despite his busy schedule.
Jean sat down next to his fiancée and placed the gift in her hand, "The last ti you ca here, you seed very interested in the fra containing your photo. So I bought you the sa fra." He said while smiling mischievously.
Lilia's eyes widened when she saw the fra containing Jean's photo. That guy looked really handso in his picture, but what kind of guy gave his own photo?! This was the first ti Lilia has received such a unique gift!
Jean raised his thick eyebrows when he saw that Lilia did not seem excited by the present, "What is wrong? You don't like the photo of your future husband?"
"Huh? No, I was just a little shocked. Um… thank you." Lilia covered her surprise with a big smile. This had to be so sort of a revenge!
