Chapter 778A silver gray Bentley Mulliner stopped in front of her. Kingsley rolled down the window and said, "Get in.""I know Mr. Wright was busy. I'll take a cab. It's very convenient." Sherman was thinking about her work."Do you think it's inconvenient to take my car?"Sherman shook her head, "No. Since Mr. Wright is very busy, I don't want to disturb you."He said, "I'm not busy. I have plenty of time...""Didn't you just say in the private room that you had only an hour?" She remembered clearly."It was just my excuse..." His voice was low. He didn't think that there was anything wrong with his words.Sherman was speechless.She had no way to refuse him and got in the car. She kept holding the files and reading them while thinking about something."What are you thinking about?""The manager gave me this business proposal for another purpose. He knew that I knew you, so he gave me such a big project. He thought it would be easy for me to contact you. I was disgusted."
Chapter 779Because of those words, they stopped talking, which brought a kind of embarrassing atmosphere in the car. Actually it was much more embarrassing than before.They drove forward and finally stopped in front of a residential building. Sherman sat upright and took a deep breath, "I'm sorry."It meant rejection..."I'm supposed to be the one to say sorry. It's still raining outside, and I guess you need an umbrella..."Leaning forward, Kingsley took out an umbrella from the back seat and gave it to her, as if her refusal didn't affect him at all.Though being rejected, he maintained his gentility and politeness. This was probably the difference between a mature man and a normal one.Sherman took the umbrella, got off the car and left after reminding him of safe drive.Back to her apartment, Sherman sat on the sofa with a cup of warm water in her hand. Her mind was wandering.Sherman couldn't understand why an outstanding man like him would be interested in her, a woman who just
Chapter 780Kingsley folded his legs and leaned on the seat behind him. His voice was low and hoarse.A short speech made the people present understand him very well. Many people laughed and the atmosphere was less tense."Let's begin." He nodded for a start. His deep gaze lingered for a moment as it swept over a certain spot.Those sitting in front were all women. Their voices were very nice, some of which were slightly falsely sweet but not disconcerting.When Sherman inadvertently saw a woman wink at Kingsley which was clearly seduction, she realized why there were mostly women who were dressed up. But Kingsley didn’t notice it from the beginning to the end. He maintained the same posture, while the waiter standing behind refilled his cup from time to time.Instead of coffee, Kingsley had mineral water in his cup.There were twenty people in total, and Sherman was the last one. When it was her turn, he looked over naturally.Usually he gave her a sense of oppression. This
Chapter 781"No worries." Sherman brought her hand back, and she felt her cheeks burning because of him."Lee, the bistro on South Lane..." Kingsley stood up and took off his coat.Sherman felt guilty, "Haven't you had dinner yet?""No...""Let me invite you for dinner. How about the soup we had that night?" It was totally understandable to invite him for dinner because she was responsible for his catching a cold."Okay..." Kingsley made a little smile.It was the same bistro which they had been to last time. After they were seated, Sherman stood up and walked out. She remembered there was a pharmacy next to the bistro.She came back with a medicine bag in her hand. She bought some medicine for cold.Sherman asked the waitress to bring a glass of warm water when she came in with the soup they had ordered. Then she took out some medicine according to the instruction and gave the medicine to Kingsley.Kingsley naturally took the medicine, with a sense of tacit understanding and
Chapter 782He hooked up his lips slightly and suddenly changed the subject, "You never seem to have asked me about my age. And I've never mentioned it to you either. I'm thirty-four years old..."Sherman didn't understand why he suddenly changed the topic. But when she heard that, she was a little surprised.Kingsley looked at her, rubbed between his eyebrows with his big and slender hand, and asked her, "Do you think I'm old?""No. I think you might be thirty." Sherman told the truth."My life is not like a blank sheet of paper. I've been in several relationships and I've been through a lot. What I've experienced is deeper and more intense than you can imagine..." His magnetic voice became hoarse, but it was very charming.Sherman lowered her head and drank the water. Obviously there was hidden message in his words.He was seven years older than her. He had more relationships and experiences than she did. How could a mature man of thirty-four not be able to distinguish between
Chapter 783All the way, Kingsley didn't say a word. His long body was half leaning on the leather seat. His eyes were closed as he was pretending to sleep. He seemed to have a bad cold.Sherman felt guilty. The car was quiet. Only the soft breathing could be heard.Lying in the bathtub, the warm water washing her body, Sherman involuntarily recalled the conversation she had with Kingsley at the bistro on the South Lane.She seemed to clearly remember every concise word he said and the look in his eyes...She felt her heart skip a bit. Sherman took a deep breath, held back her feelings, and then shook her head lightly.At this point, she felt exhausted. She, who was deeply heartbroken, simply didn't have the energy, mood, or courage to face a new relationship.Also, she intuited that she couldn't afford to mess with a man like him. And she knew she didn't deserve him.A yoga class was playing on the TV. She had almost recovered recently, so she thought it would be good for her t
Chapter 784"I'll try that tomorrow, but I'm afraid I'll keep going to the bathroom after drinking too much water. I'm too lazy to go to the bathroom."Grace was indeed surprisingly lazy. As long as she could sit, she would never stand. As long as she could stay still, she could try to be motionless.Sherman's eyebrows twitched a few times. The two of them went to an international department store, so the prices of the clothes there were very expensive.Grace picked out several fur coats and other styles of coats. However, Sherman didn't buy anything. Sherman just accompanied Grace to hang out and pick out clothes at the mall.After her state of mind became calm, Sherman had that kind of feeling. She felt that no matter how much the clothes were, there was not much difference.However, Grace shoved two coats at her. "These coats are just the right size for you. And the colors are pretty too."Sherman didn't want to take them, because she had a lot of clothes too. And she bought a
Chapter 785The cafe was almost full. They went just in time. There was only one table left. This cafe required reservations in advance. The price of coffee was a bit expensive. The decoration was nice and it had a particularly quiet atmosphere. Each table was separated from the other by a curved wooden track, and clear water was flowing through it all the time. The green potted plants everywhere made the place look lively. The cafe was quiet and no one was talking. People were sipping coffee and listening to the water flow. It was relaxing and enjoyable for both the body and mind. There was a wind chime on the door of the cafe. When someone pushed the door, it would make a tinkling sound. Grace looked at the door and then her eyes sparkled. She stared fervently at the man who was walking in. Almost every woman's eyes were drawn to the man. Kingsley was wearing a silver shirt with a black tie, smoky gray pants, and a camel coat over his shirt. He looked incred
