Lost in your love

Chapter 38 A Light Kiss

Gail felt resigned. Since when did James become so glib, which refreshed her impression of him.

"Yes, I'm very familiar with you, Mr. James. I'll wait for you downstairs." Gail closed the door of the

CEO's office in a hurry to avoid being taken advantage of by him.

James said again, "No, I will wait for you." Only she could hear him. But James had already walked out

of the office and followed closely behind her. She didn't want anyone to hear the words.

James looked at the girl next to him and gave her a smile.

The assistant who walked past James was surprised to see the faint smile at the corners of James's

mouth. What's wrong with Mr. James now? He was angry in the morning, but he became happy now.

But over the past six months, James seemed to get along well with that secretary.

The assistant shook his head. The secretary was too young to be with Mr. James.

Gail packed up and went downstairs.

James leaned against the car and his eyes locked her figure.

Gail didn't dare to look James in the eye. It was better for her not to be obsessed with him.

"Let's go. We have plenty of time. Have a cup of tea first." James leaned over and whispered to Gail all

of a sudden.

Hearing the words, Gail blushed and reached out to push him away out of instinct. 'Why did I forget to

fasten my seat belt? I felt like I was flirted. I can't do anything to him.' She thought.

"No. I'll drink it later." It would be bad if she was late. She couldn't let Hoyle wait for her at the airport.

Looking ahead, James continued, "Are you afraid of being late?"

"Of course not, Mr. James. You must have something else to do. I can't let you delay. I'll drink it at

noon." Gail had an intuition that James would be unhappy if she told him that she was afraid of being

late.

But she didn't know why, maybe she thought too much. After all, boss's time was really valuable.

James drove the car quietly without saying anything.

When they passed by a milk tea shop, James got out of the car and bought two bottles of milky tea.

"Here you are. Your lips are broken. Don't you remember to drink water?" The large bottle of milky tea

was particularly conspicuous at the tip of James's slender fingers.

Gail took it in a hurry and touched her lips. "Thank you."

It seemed that there was really dead skin on her lips. But how could she drink it up?

'Why did she still look scared? Did he do anything wrong?' James wondered.

James was depressed, and Gail was drinking the milky tea quietly. Actually James had nothing to do in

the afternoon. The reason why he sent her was that he didn't want her to pick up Hoyle by herself, who

had an ulterior motive.

When James was in England, he had already noticed that Hoyle had feelings for Gail. As a man, how

could he not understand?

"What are you going to do this afternoon? Is the big project going to be successful?" Gail could sense

the tension in the air, so she picked up a topic to talk to him.

Gail knew that a big project was being prepared recently, but there were many things to discuss, and © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

plenty of outdoor work needed to be done.

James glanced at Gail, and he found that some milky tea was left on her lips.

"Yes." James answered, without thinking what she asked.

Gail nodded. No wonder…

When Gail was looking ahead while biting the straw, she felt a hand reach beside her face and she

subconsciously moved to the side to avoid it.

"Don't move!" James's voice was gentle, but his words held Gail still.

"The tea had left on your lips. Do you usually drink water like this?"

"……" Gail gawked at James's face. He was sitting on her side. His features were clear and

outstanding. She thought he was good-looking.

But when he touched her lips with his fingers, she was so nervous that all the hair stood up.

"Am I handsome?" James asked in a hoarse voice. Gail turned to look ahead.

"Yes, you are very handsome." Gail answered James mechanically, sucked the straw and made a loud

noise.

She suddenly felt embarrassed. Did that mean she indirectly admitted that she was coveting his

beauty?

Just when Gail was drinking the tea, the car stopped.

Perplexed, she turned around and saw a pair of deep and affectionate eyes.

Gail forgot to think for a moment and just looked at James blankly.

"Gai, you are making me misunderstand." James was delighted to hear that.

Gail held the bottle in her hand and didn't know what to do with his abnormal behavior. "You should

know that you are not ugly, right? I didn't lie."

James lowered his voice and got closer to Gail.

His face was close to her eyes and most of his body was close to hers. All of a sudden, Gail felt that

the position was too awkward. James was as hot as a stove, which made her face burn involuntarily.

Gail bit the straw, holding her breath and staring at James.

"Are you complimenting me? Do you like my face?" If she liked his face, it at least showed that she

liked his appearance.

Swallowing nervously, Gail wondered how to answer the question. Even if James treated her well in the

past, she had told him to be her friend. But now it was different. She was thoughtless at that time. As

her boss, she couldn't say that she didn't like him. Moreover, no one would dislike such a handsome

face, wouldn't it?

Gail nodded and looked into James's eyes, "I think no one will not like such a handsome man like you."

James got closer, "I want to know your opinion. I don't care about others. I just want to know whether

you like my appearance or not."

"……" He didn't mean to embarrass her or to test her?

But Gail knew that the answer must be yes, or she would be fired. Although she knew that Mr. James

was very kind, she also knew that he was moody since she had stayed with him for a long time.

"Yes, I like it." Gail didn't dare to look into his eyes.

James raised her chin and forced her to look at him, "Do you like me?"

"……" As a result, Gail became stagnant. 'Did Mr. James forget to take medicine when he went out?

Why is he still so strange today?'

James stared at Gail and asked, "Is it difficult for you to answer my question?"

"No. No. I just… Everyone in our company likes you. Can't you see it?" She used to be crazy about the

gentle and handsome CEO who was friendly and paid much attention to her. But now, she couldn't fall

in love with him.

Noticing her absent-minded look, James raised his eyebrows and let go of her chin.

He seemed to be too anxious. How could he ask her this question? James sat back in his seat and

looked ahead. His chest seemed to be filled with stones.

"I..." "In fact, I..." Gail lowered her head and fiddled with her clothes.

"I know." James leaned over and kissed her lightly.

Both of them were startled. This was the first time they had kissed each other under normal

circumstances since they had met in the coffee shop last time.

Gail's eyes were empty.
