Although she had been hurt before, Summer still longed for romance.When James asked her out, she immediately agreed. "Sure, let's have a date."She forced herself to say it in such a way that she didn't give away her excitement. She didn't want James to think that she was excited about going on a date with him. In reality, she felt giddy, like a child who had just gotten a lollipop. She just didn't want to admit it. After 20 minutes, they got a cab and went to a famous shopping mall near the city. The mall was bustling with people, mostly young couples or groups of friends. They all looked happy.Summer and James walked on the tiled floor. All they could see were clothing stores filled with arrays after arrays of luxurious and beautiful products. As soon as Summer entered the store, she started picking out clothes and comparing them against each other. If she liked it, she would put it aside. She tried on more than ten pieces in one go.James, on the other hand, simply stood
"The dress looks good," said James."Really? Oh well, then it looks good," said Summer. She was already getting annoyed. She turned around and went back into the fitting room to try on other clothes. From then on, she didn't ask for James's opinion anymore. Since he didn't give any input, asking him for an opinion was pointless.She tried over ten pieces of clothing, and they all felt great on her. This store was famous for its luxurious clothes. Their clothes had unique and tasteful designs. It could be considered a high-end international brand. With the help of the sales assistant, Summer decided on two pieces of clothing and went to the counter.James came over and asked, "Why did you only take two?""Why do I have to buy so many? I can't wear them all anyway," said Summer. Actually, it was a lie to say that she couldn't wear so many clothes. Which women would complain about having too many clothes? If there were really too many, she could just get rid of some. The mai
But what had happened in the end? James still ended up paying for Summer and even buying eight pieces of designer clothes for her."Why did you buy the clothes for me?" Summer put on a disdainful expression. "I don't need so many clothes. Who is going to wear them all?""Don't you like them? You seemed to really like them when you were trying them on," said James.Thinking that James had read her mind, Summer was momentarily speechless. But if she wanted to pretend, she had to keep pretending. She said, "I didn't like them at all. I just thought the clothes were nice, but there's no need to buy them. Besides, how am I going to take eight pieces of clothing back?"While Summer was complaining, the sales assistant spoke up kindly. "Miss, don't worry. We offer a delivery service. You just have to write down your address, and we will deliver the clothes to you." After saying this, the sales assistant added, "Miss, you're really lucky. Your husband is not only handsome, but he is
"Why would you say that?" said James."Because I've never seen you smile. Why do you always look like you are annoyed?"James didn't respond. He raised his eyes. Under the lights in the shopping mall, his features were distinct. He had a slim figure. It seemed like he was pondering something before he finally answered, "I don't know what it feels like to be happy.""You don't know? Being happy is just being happy. Like how I feel right now. Don't you enjoy going on a date with me?""Being with you makes me happy," said James. His eyes became gentle and clear. Summer was enchanted by them. But she couldn't understand. If he felt happy, why did he still look like he was annoyed?Summer's first thought was that James was lying to himself. He was probably not happy at all and was pretending to be. Being happy shouldn't look like this. Could he have some kind of illness that caused facial paralysis?"You don't have to pretend anymore. You're obviously not happy being with me.
As Summer had thought, James had indeed never been on a date before. It was only natural, after all. James was the CEO of Quigley Group, which was the most important companies in Rosseera City. It not only had an impact on the economy of the entire city but also the entire country.Although James had never been out when he was an adult, he must have been out when he was younger, right?Summer asked, "What about before you became 18 years old? Didn't you go out often before that?""No. Before that, I had to undergo training," he replied.After hearing this, Summer sighed deeply. She had actually heard Charlie talking about this before. The heirs of the four most prestigious families had no childhood. It wasn't just the heirs; almost anyone born into such prestigious families had no childhood. From a young age, they had to undergo elite training that filled their schedule with either social etiquette or lessons for some hobby that they didn't even know if they would ever use
James looked mysterious as he took out his wallet from his pocket and waved a black card in front of the ticket seller. The ticket seller was surprised when she saw the card and immediately politely said, "You're... Mr. Quigley?""I'd like a seat in the middle of the theater. Can you help me with that?" asked James."Of course," said the ticket seller.The ticket seller busied herself with the booking system behind the counter and appeared with two movie tickets. Then, she respectfully handed the tickets to James with a smile and said, "Mr. Quigley, I hope you have a good time watching the movie."Summer was confused by the outcome. As they entered the cinema, she asked, "What did you do? How did you suddenly get the movie tickets?""I showed the ticket seller my business card," said James."Your business card?" Summer was stunned.She hadn't expected James' business card to have such an effect. It had just gotten them two tickets for a movie that had been fully booked!Cou
As Summer went through the movies, she realized that she should ask James what he liked to watch. However, he wasn't well-versed in films. He simply replied, "Any movie is fine. I can watch anything."Alright then. Since it was a date, Summer thought they should definitely watch a romantic film. She chose a local film that had just been released. When it started playing, the display in the theater was stunning, with vivid, life-like visuals. The two of them sat together on the couch and immersed themselves in the movie.However, halfway through the movie, Summer could only feel the love depicted on the screen, not the real love between them. Even though she and James were sitting on the same couch, there was a fist's space between them. At that moment, she couldn't help but think that James was truly a fool.Usually, at a time like this, most guys would secretly hold the woman's hand. Watching a movie was a great opportunity to build a connection. Yet James was only fixated
It seemed that the reputation of the four prestigious families was well-deserved. They were not only wealthy but were also true elites.However, Summer hadn't really seen how excellent the other heirs besides James were. He was indeed an elite, but what about Bradly? Summer had had several interactions with him, and the impression he gave was that of a playboy, someone who was idle and only knew how to chase after women.Well, no one could blame her for thinking that way. After all, Bradly never brought anything good whenever he appeared.However, Summer was a bit curious. James mentioned that an heir needed to be proficient in at least four languages to be considered qualified. How many languages did James know? Was it just the required four?When Summer asked, James replied, "I'm proficient in eight languages.""Eight languages? Are you kidding me?" Summer's eyes widened. She looked at James like she was looking at a freak.Summer herself only knew her native language and E
