President Jessop. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
My brain was buzzing! <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The next second I saw the man enter the box slowly. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He was in a matte grey suit. His hair seemed shorter than it was a few years ago. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
His features didn’t change and his skin seemed a little darker. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
At the moment when I saw him, my strong heart seemed to be torn open by an invisible hand. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Something was going to blow out! <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Hello, President Jessop. She’s the lead designer, Becky Jones.” David stood up and introduced me to Sean. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Obviously, Sean had met other people before. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I quickly got up and said to Sean, “Hello, President Jessop.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Sean looked coldly at my face and quickly looked away. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He said coldly, “hello.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
His voice was full of indifference. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
His attitude to me hurt me. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
What was I looking forward to? <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Wasn’t that the best? <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I told myself in my heart. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I suppressed my disappointment and smiled at Sean. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I didn’t sit until he sat down. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I hardly spoke at dinner. David asked Sean about the club. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Sean didn’t look at me. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
It seemed that I didn’t exist. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
At the end of the meal, I went to the bathroom alone and made up. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I thought everyone had left. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
But as soon as I got out of the box, I saw Sean standing in the corridor with his back against the wall. He was talking to a middle-aged man. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
When he saw me coming out, he waved at the middle-aged man. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He stood up straight and looked at me and said, “Miss Jones, let me drive you back to the hotel.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Ah?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I was stunned. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
My mouth was open and I had no idea what he meant. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He didn’t talk to me in the box just now, but now he said he wanted to drive me. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Did he recognize me? <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
It was impossible! <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I quickly dismissed my speculation. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Even Inez couldn’t recognize my face. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Sean was expressionless and not surprised. He explained lightly, “don’t get me wrong. I just want to ask about Mr. Moore.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
With that, he turned and walked out. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I was relieved but I was a little disappointed. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I smiled and said, “thank you, President Jessop.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I walked fast and followed him. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
We hadn’t seen each other for five years. Sean was now driving a sapphire Bentley SUV. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I was on the copilot. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He pulled out of the parking lot and asked me, “are you Murray’s Apprentice?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Yes.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Is Mr. Moore healthy recently?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Yes.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Sean heard my answer and squinted at me. He seemed a little unhappy and said, “do you say only one word at a time?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I was stunned by his words. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
When I talked to Sean, I was under a lot of pressure. I was afraid I said something wrong and let him find out who I was. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Maybe I would make it easier for him to find out. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I quickly replied again, “no, my master is in good health.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The hotel was very close to the restaurant. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Sean’s car stopped at an intersection. I could see the hotel. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“President Jessop, I can get off here.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I said quickly. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I didn’t want to stay with him. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“I’ll take you to the door.” Sean said. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
His tone was bland but domineering. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I took back my hand, which had been put on the doorknob. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I sat in the car. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He turned and looked at me and asked, “when are you going back? I’m going to see Mr. Moore.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Was he going back with me? <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
How could I go back with him? <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I took my bag and thought for a while before I said, “President Jessop, I am the main designer of this project, so I will not return to sceaux in the near future. How about I send you the address of the studio?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“No.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He turned me down. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I looked at him in surprise. I didn’t know what he meant and I could only smile. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Sean looked at me. His face was expressionless but his deep eyes were fixed on me. It was like he was doing a laser scan for me. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
My smile was getting stiff. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The green light was on. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Sean stepped on the gas and drove to the door of the hotel. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Thank you, President Jessop.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I got out of the car quickly. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Suddenly I was hit by a young couple passing by. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I didn’t pay attention and threw my bag out. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Don’t you have eyes?” The girl gave me a look. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The man put his arm around her and kissed her face. “Leave her alone. She dresses as if she are frigid. It must have been a long time since a man touched her.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Ha ha, I think so. No one is dressed like this now. Is she on TV?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The woman laughed. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I picked up my bag and wanted to argue with them and ask them to apologize to me. A tall figure passed me first. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He went straight to the couple and ordered them. “Apologize to her.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The couple didn’t seem to expect Sean to show up. They were very disdainful. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The boy said, “who are you? Are you going to save this aunt?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The name was ironic. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
I was only 30 this year. Why was I an aunt? <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Sean didn’t answer him and just went on, “apologize.” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The boy looked at Sean. Although he felt Sean was terrible, his girlfriend was beside him so he couldn’t flinch. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He said, “I will not apologize!” Then he reached straight up and grabbed Sean’s collar. “Are you going to hit me?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Bang!” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Before he finished, Sean punched him in the face! <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“How dare you fucking hit me? Do you know who I am?” The boy didn’t expect Sean to hit him. He angrily reached out and wanted to fight back! <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
Sean dodged! <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
His girlfriend shouted, “Why are you not as flexible as an old man?” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Shit, I’m going to kill you!” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The boy was stubborn and wanted to kick Sean directly!” <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
“Be careful!” I was nervous and looking at Sean and shouting! <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
He was looking at the boy. When I shouted, he looked at me and frowned. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
The boy took the chance and kicked Sean on the waist! <\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
