“June.” Ming got out of the car and saw me and was stunned.
The driver thought I was waiting for Ming, so he drove away.
Ming saw me and asked, “Why are you here? Are you waiting for me?”
“No.” I waved my hand and hesitated for a moment. I told him, “my grandma gave me the house I lived in. I sold it to cure my grandma before. I didn’t expect that Grandma died soon. Now I want to buy the house back, but I don’t have the buyer’s contact information...”
Ming nodded. “I see. I’ll pay attention to it for you. If he comes back, I’ll contact you.”
“OK, thank you.”
I was going to leave when Ming stopped me. “June, Arthur told me about your face yesterday.”
“Thanks to Arthur for helping me yesterday.”
Arthur and Ming had a good relationship so I was not surprised he knew it.
Ming looked at me and sighed. “I wanted you to come back after the operation, but Sean was worried. But it doesn’t matter. Now the United States is also very advanced in this area. Think about when you will have the operation. You can contact me at any time. I’ll take you to the doctor.”
“OK...”
I replied absently.
Ming was an expert and knew many doctors, so I believed him.
But if Sean knew it, he would misunderstand.
Ming misunderstood me. “You don’t have to worry about money. You’re my friend. You can do it for free.”
“I can’t do that!”
“It’s OK. You just need to contact me.” Ming raised his hand and patted me on the top of the head. “Don’t be worried all the time.”
“Yes, uncle.”
I smiled.
Then a black car came out of the underground garage. I didn’t notice it, but I found the car seemed to be driving in my direction!
When I saw it, the car had turned around and rushed straight in our direction!
Sean!
I subconsciously wanted to protect Ming, but he dodged and stood in front of me.
The car was not fast and didn't want to hit us. It soon stopped in front of us.
Sean got out of the car and just looked at me. He raised his hand and said, “come here.”
“...”
“Sean.”
Ming was protecting me.
“Shut up.” Sean stared at Ming coldly. “Uncle, are you particularly interested in my girlfriend? Why can I always see you together?”
“No, I’m here to contact the people who bought my house. I want to buy my old house back.” I explained to Sean, “I just happened to meet him.”
“Is that so?”
Sean looked at me.
“Of course.” I stepped out of Ming’s protection, “if there’s nothing else, I’ll go first.”
I didn’t do anything bad so I didn’t have to lie at all.
“No way!” Sean pulled me. “Where are you going? I’ll drive you.”
I knew I couldn’t turn down Sean so I had to let him pull me and get in his car.
He opened the door for me.
As soon as I got in his car, I heard Ming say, “Sean, June’s...”
“This is Mrs. Jessop.” Sean introduced me directly to the woman.
The woman froze, but she smiled and said, “Hello, Mrs. Jessop.”
Even though she said that, I could see contempt and sarcasm in her eyes.
We walked out of the elevator. Eric came over.
He said hello to Sean and me, “President Jessop, Miss Carter.”
“Inform them of the meeting.” Sean said to Eric.
“Yes.”
Eric hurried back to his office.
I followed Sean into the office. After a while, the woman came in with two glasses of water. She put one on Sean’s table and handed me the other. She called me, “Mrs. Jessop, your coffee.”
“Thank you.”
I could feel her hostility.
I met this woman for the first time.
Sean didn’t seem to find anything strange. He just said, “Amanda, take care of her.”
“OK, President Jessop. I’ve put all the information about the meeting on your desk.”
Amanda stood up and smiled at Sean.
She bowed slightly as Sean left.
After Sean left the office, Amanda sat right next to me and looked at me. She asked directly, “what’s wrong with your face?”
