Chapter 95
Alita suddenly had a feeling that his hand was caressing her body.
She shivered and threw the clothes on the ground. A piece of note fell out of the clothes. She bent down and picked it up. When she opened it, it wrote, [I personally chose the underwear for you. I hope you haven't gained weight!]
Alita thought, ‘Pervert, lunatic!’ She tore the note angrily and looked at the clothes on the ground. As she imagined his hands touching them, she felt deeply disgusted.
However, if she had to stay here for several days without changing her clothes, she would stink. Alita could not bear to live like that.
After some thought, she picked up the clothes and dusted them off with her hands. Alita thought. ‘It'll be fine as long as I don't think it that way. Since these clothes were manufactured, many people have touched them.’ She was able to calm down after that.
After taking a shower and changing into clean clothes, she went to the backyard, where a white tent was built. Below it was a dining table. Jaydon, Evelyn, and Karen were already there. She was the last to arrive.
Jaydon looked over and carefully sized up the beige chiffon dress on her body. He thought. ‘This looks perfect on her. I knew this color matched her.' He smiled at her in satisfaction and said, "Miss Thompson, how do you like the clothes?"
"They are fine. Thank you, Mr. Lewis!" Alita replied with a fake smile. She despised him in her mind.
Alita walked over and sat down.
"Boss, you look very beautiful in this dress. It really helps you stand out. You look like a goddess. That's awesome!" Karen touched the chiffon material and was extremely envious. She could tell that this dress was not cheap.
"Mr. Lewis, you're really good at choosing clothes. Not only are the sizes just right, but the color is also super suitable for our boss. You're really amazing.” Crystal felt that the outfit Alita had on at that moment was the most beautiful one she had seen since she joined the company.
"That's right. This color reflects the boss's temperament. Moreover, she doesn't lose her gentle femininity. It looks like it's tailor-made for you, boss.” Sabina, who had always been quiet, also joined the conversation because she was amazed by the outfit.
Even Evelyn said, "Miss Thompson, you're really beautiful!”
Jaydon sat elegantly with a smile on his face. He said, "I didn't really spend much time picking the outfit. I didn't expect it to be so suitable for Miss Thompson. In the future, you have to wear less business suits and more feminine clothes like this.”
Though Alita was smiling, she wished she could immediately change out of this outfit because she did not want to see his smug face.
"It does look good, but it's not very practical, so I'm probably not going to buy this kind of outfit in the future. But thank you, Mr. Lewis." She smiled politely, though she wished she could stab a knife in Jaydon.
Jaydon could tell that Alita was just acting polite at the moment. He lowered his head and smiled brightly. He said casually, "Everyone, let's eat."
Everyone picked up their silverware and started eating. Evelyn picked up some food with a fork and fed it to Jaydon. The other girls were very envious to witness this scene.
Alita kept her head lowered as she ate calmly.
After lunch, Evelyn went for a walk with Jaydon. Alita went back to her room to deal with company matters online. She also asked Karen, Crystal, and Sabina to ask the locals about the way into the forest. She didn't want to waste any time.
She used her computer to hold a meeting with some staff. She took care of work tasks from the past few days and dealt with some emergencies When she was done, it was almost 2 in the afternoon.
She turned off the computer and stood up to stretch. Then she walked to the window. It was already getting late. and Alita didn't think she had time to go to the forest. She was going to relax for the rest of the day.
In the past year, she had rarely rested. As long as she paused working for too long, she felt that she would inevitably regress Seeing that it was still early, she felt bored staying in her room. She walked out of the villa to take a walk for some air.
Unknowingly. she had walked for a long distance. When she saw a wooden bench in front of her, she walked over and sat down. A breeze blew, and the comer of her dress fluttered. The scene looked beautiful.
Aman in a light purple casual suit sat beside her. He came carefully and quietly. Alita could tell who that person was by the smell in the air. She did not turn her head and pretended not to notice his existence.
They sat there as the gentle wind blew. It was so comfortable that it was intoxicating. The atmosphere was very peaceful and no one wanted to disturb it.
Alita once had a wish. She would rather be with Jaydon forever instead of being wealthy. She wanted to be together with him in a space somewhere, just like how they were at that moment. She would feel peaceful and happy just from cuddling with him.
Jaydon could not help but reach out to hug her. However, just as he was about to reach her shoulder, he stopped. He was afraid that if he tried to approach her more, she would push him further away.
He started feeling numb as he kept his hands in the air. Eventually, he put his hands down sadly.
The two of them sat in silence for three hours. They wouldn't dare to get close to each other or stand up and leave. They seemed like two human sculptures that were placed there
They sat until the Sun was about to set.
Alita stood up first. She knew that she could not stay in this situation for too long. No matter how tempting it seemed, she wanted to go back to her reality.
Just as she was about to leave, Jaydon grabbed her wrist. His hands were very warm. "Mr. Lewis, it's getting late. You should go back too." She kept looking forward without turning her head back.
Jaydon stood up and took off his suit. He draped it over her shoulders and said, "The hotel near the forest will get cold at night. You should wear this on your way back to avoid catching a cold.”
He let go of her hand and walked forward
He was afraickto see her walk in front of himas she left. Even though Jaydon wasa man withahigh social status, he was still a human” being-He was made of flesh and’ had feelings. Every time he watched herseave him, he would feet Stffocated by the pain.
Therefore, this time, he wanted to leave first. He would feel better to know that she was watching him from the back. Alita pinched his clothes and her slender fingers trembled slightly, as if she was very cold.
Tears finally appeared in her eyes. Under the setting sun, his body became blurry in her vision. Alita thought, ‘Jaydon, you're about to get married. Why are you still messing with my feelings? You're the worst and most despicable man in the world.
She blinked ag her tears fell. She closed her eyés and raised her head, thinking thather tears would not fall, this way However, this warmth from Jaydors suit jacket made her even moresad. The warmth on her.- shauilder was so much like.Ais broad chest. It was as if he was-standing behind her, hugging her tightly.
For the first time since they met again, Alita felt sad and lonely.
When she returned to the villa, the hotel staff was getting dinner ready. There was no one in the hall. Alita took off the jacket and gently placed it on the sofa.
She went to the bathroom to wash her face. Then she looked at herself in the mirror. She said, “Alita, pull yourself together and wake up. Don't let the mess from your past drag you into the abyss again.”
After coming out of the washroom, she saw Crystal and Karen come down the stairs together in different outfits.
"Boss, where did you go? We wanted to discuss work with you as soon as we came back, but we couldn't find you,” Crystal said as she walked up to her.
"Oh, I saw that you guys weren't back yet and had nothing to do, so I went out for a walk,” Alita replied.
"That's what I thought." Karen walked over and spun around in front of Alita. "Boss, look, Mr. Lewis is really generous. He gave us very decent clothes. This brand is very expensive. I can't even afford a pocket on this outfit.”
Alita couldn't help but laugh. She felt like she had returned to reality. "Mr. Lewis has plenty of money. Since it's a gift for you, keep it. Karen, Crystal you two look very beautiful."
The two girls happily held each of Alita’s arms and said, "Thank you, Boss!"
When Jaydon came downstairs, he saw Alita smiling brightly. He sighed softly internally and thought. 'Maybe she likes her current life and doesn't want to return to me anymore.’
"Jaydon, why are you standing here?" Evelyn, whe came from behind, held his arm and asked with a smile. Jaydon turned his head and chuckled. "I'm waiting for you.”
Evelyn's face immediately bloomed into a smile. "Let's go down."
"Okay!" Jaydon led her down.
Alita and the others heard footsteps on the stairs and looked over. When they saw that it was Jaydon and Evelyn, they tried to restrain their smile and act politely.
Dinner was served in the villa's dining room. After dinner, Alita wanted to talk to Jaydon and Evelyn about going to the forest the next day. In the living roomExclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
"Crystal, Sabina, tell us the results of your investigation this afternoon," Alita said to them.
Crystal smiled and replied, "We've asked around~There's a rather beautiful forest not far from here. When weenitered, we noticed that ~ the entryspecifically left enough space-{or cars to pass. I think that's a very: suitable place, but wei I have to let Evelyn make thatca afer we check it out tomadrrow." By this point, she had already known that everything would be okay if she could convince Evelyn.
Sabina continued, "We checked around the forest. There was a lot of grassland, and it was quite beautiful and dreamy. The only flaw was that there were no hotels nearby for us to stay. But at the same time, I was amazed by the view over there.”
"We also took photos.” Karen took out a digital camera and showed the pictures to everyone. Evelyn liked the view very much after seeing a few. She said, "They're really beautiful..." "Indeed!" Alita nodded and asked, "How long did it take you guys to get there?”
Karen said, “About 40 minutes."
"That's not far.” Alita smiled excitedly. "You guys did well. Let's get ready to go to the forest tomorrow." As she spoke, she looked at Jaydon and Evelyn. "Mr. Lewis, Miss Jenner, please be prepared.”
