Chapter 8 Ran Away
Chapter 8 Ran Away
With a sigh, Sara cheered herself up and got out of the car. "Thompson, what can I do for you?"
"Get in my car and have dinner with me." Thompson stared at her.
Sara looked Thompson up and down. He was dressed formally today, wearing a dark green suit and a tie, and his hair was meticulously combed. In this way, he was more steady and less unruly than usual.
"I'm really not in the mood to eat now." Although Thompson's invitation was sincere, she still refused it. How could she be in a good mood after quarreling with her ex-husband.
Thompson shrugged his shoulders, pretending to be helpless. "I came out of the blind date contest halfway for you. You are too cruel to refuse me like this."
After saying that, Thompson pretended to be sad and curled his lips.
'How could such an adult do such an expression and action? If Jacob's icy face could also become like this, it should be very interesting!' Sara thought!
Shaking her head, Sara wanted to get rid of Jacob from her mind. She didn't want to have anything to do with him anymore.
"But..." Still, Sara wanted to refuse.
But Thompson opened the door gracefully and made a gesture of welcome, "I know you are busy, but this time I'm doing business. I have a project that is very suitable for your company. I don't know if you are interested."
Interested? Of course she was. Sara knew that if she wished to disassociate herself from the Shi clan, first of all, her company must be strong enough, so she wouldn't let go of any project.
Without much hesitation, she turned around and got into the car.
Seeing her like this, Thompson smiled.
Thompson was going to attend a party today. To put it in a good way, he wanted to contact his friends, but in fact, it was a blind date for him. At this party, all the famous people in the city took their daughters with them. Thompson's family was very wealthy. It was the dream of many people to be married into his family.
But when he heard about what had happened to Sara from his secretary, Thompson came over as soon as possible. His father had to deal with the rest. Of course, he would be scolded by his father when he came back home today.
Thompson sat opposite to Sara and introduces with a smile, "The owner of this restaurant is my friend, and their Chinese food is second to none. I think you will like it very much."
Sara nodded in agreement. She was not interested in food or anything else. All she wanted to know now was the project in Thompson's hand. If her company could get this project, not to mention the profit, at least it didn't have to rely on the big tree of the time group, which would save a lot of trouble.
Thinking of this, she braced herself up to engage in social activities with Thompson.
Jacob hadn't shown a smile since Sara left. He frowned and looked through the documents sent by his secretary without saying a word.
Alice was good at gauging people's mind and scheming. Especially when she saw the serious look on Jacob's face, she knew that what she said at this time would only be annoying, so she sat aside obediently. She seemed to be in a daze, but she had been thinking about what happened just now.
Just now, she had spearheaded at Sara, but Jacob didn't listen to any explanation from Sara. Did it mean that he had been extremely disgusted with her?
Alice rubbed the ring on her finger. Although Jacob had been saying that he loved her and waited for her, he still had the wedding ring on his finger. Most importantly, he didn't propose to her, which made her very uneasy.
Thinking of this, Alice made a very firm decision. She wanted to make Jacob hate Sara more and throw away the diamond ring on his finger willingly!
Thinking of this, Alice's beautiful and perfect red lips curved up slightly. She began to draw up a plan to deal with Sara in her mind.
In the dining room, Sara didn't know that Alice was thinking about her again.
"Eat more. Don't you know that you are almost skinny now?" Thompson picked up some food for Sara, and persuaded her to have more.
Knowing that the food in front of her was delicious, it tasted like wax. After all, Sara came to discuss business with Thompson. Although he didn't mention anything about business, she couldn't interrupt him impolitely. "The dishes in this restaurant are also unique. I like them very much."
Hearing her praise, Thompson's eyes lit up and his face lit up with excitement. It meant that he took Sara to the right place. She liked this place!
"Eat more if you like." How Thompson wished he could put all the dishes in her bowl.
Helpless, Sara wanted to ask again and again, but she controlled himself. Although she was anxious, she knew that haste made waste. She looked up at him with a smile and said, "help yourself too. Don't just watch me eat. I'm not used to it."
After saying that, she lowered her head shyly.
It was not until then that Thompson realized that he was a little rude. He had been watching her eating all the time, but he did not eat anything. Instead, he looked at her with interest. He smiled and said, "okay..."
He didn't eat immediately. Instead, he took a tissue, stood up slightly, wiped the corner of Sara's mouth and said with a smile, "I didn't expect you to have such a cute side. There are rice grains on your cheeks."
Unprepared, Sara's face turned red. She was surprised and she couldn't help but feel shy.
Was this man flirting with her?
Pretending to be fine, Sara coughed and smiled awkwardly.
She also didn't want to eat the rice on her face, but this person had been staring at her all the time. Who could eat well, which made her eat the rice on her face. Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
"What's wrong? Did you get choked? Have some soup. " As soon as Thompson finished his words, he thoughtfully ladled some soup for Sara in his own bowl.
Sara and Jacob had married before graduation, and they had never had such social intercourse. After they got married, Jacob would not allow her to do so.
Now she couldn't stand his kindness, but she didn't know how to refuse.
She had been married for four years and was not used to socialize with other men.
When she was with Jacob, she always kept a certain distance from other men.
It was the first time that a man had treated her like this.
"No, thanks..." At a loss, Sara refused. He had gone too far to help her wipe her face. Now if she had soup in his bowl, wasn't that an indirect kiss? No way! The more Sara thought about it, the more she felt it was inappropriate. She had an impulse to run away.
Seeing that Sara didn't take the bowl, Thompson sighed and said earnestly, "actually, you don't have to be so alienated from me. I just want to be good to you. How can a good person like you not love and pity you. He... I... "
Thompson wanted to say that Jacob didn't know how to cherish her, but when he was about
to speak, he felt that he was too mean to say that.
Sara had a hunch that what he said was something she couldn't afford. Just as she was thinking about what to do, her phone rang.
With a lingering fear, Sara let out a sigh of relief and smiled, "I'm sorry. I have to answer the phone."
After saying that, she stood up and left gracefully, but only she knew that she was a little fleeing when she left.
She interrupted Thompson abruptly.
After taking the phone to the bathroom, Sara breathed a sigh of relief. "Hello, Sherry. Your call is well- timed."
There was a trace of survivor from the disaster in her voice. Sara thought that her good friend had made a good call.
On the other end of the phone, Sherry said idly, "I came out early this morning to hang out with you. I'm so boring alone. I don't want to go home so early."
