Chapter 75 Shopped together and met colleagues

Their Chairman Carter always works as a business emperor but now he behaves like an idiot just to make his girl happy. The first step of today’s trip was to walk slowly, go alone without any driver or assistant and talk more to get closer to her. That’s why Edwin Carter drove himself and decided to take Jane out for a walk but he didn’t know what to talk about. "Do you like it?" Edwin Carter asked. Edwin Carter’s tone was full of care and concern. If her reply comes in negative, it would become very difficult for him to make her happy. Jane nodded, "You’ve said it’s a place that every girl loves to go. I’m a girl too, of course I like it." Then she gave him a big smile to express her satisfaction. "Um." Edwin Carter responded, but he understood that Jane’s smile was not real. He did not speak, just held Jane’s hand and walked forward. "Wouldn’t you feel it boring to hang out with me?" Edwin Carter didn’t take the initiative to chat, so she had to find a topic. "No." He gave a simple answer. If he thought of it as boring he won’t ask her to come for shopping. Jane felt it difficult to continue talking. She thought again and tried to find the next topic. But she couldn’t find a suitable one. So they walked silently. After walking for a while, she reached the most famous food street in the north of the river. Jane grabbed Edwin Carter’s arm and said, "how about going to this street?" Edwin Carter nodded his head to show his consent. A lot of people came there on weekends. The whole street was full of people. There were too many people in front of every stall, so they have to line up to buy things. The aroma of delicious food items made Jane hungry. She wanted to eat the fried squid. She pulled Edwin Carter to the stall and queue up in the line. She gave a brief introduction to Edwin Carter: "the fried squid on the iron plate is a very delicious snack" She wanted to ensure that he will eat too. Edwin Carter has a habit of cleanliness. He only eats food cooked by his own people. He hasn’t eaten anything from the street stalls. Jane finds this aroma delicious but Edwin Carter as a poisonous gas. There were many people on both sides of the stalls. Dust and bacteria were everywhere. How could he like them? But seeing that Jane wanted to eat Edwin Carter didn’t want to spoil her mood. If she wanted to eat, he would accompany her. It took a few minutes for Jane to get four strings of squid. She first took a string and handed it to Edwin Carter, "Come on, eat it. My treat." Edwin Carter takes the squid string and holds it in his hand. Jane took a bite nodded her head and said, "It’s really delicious." Edwin Carter resisted his inner self and took a bite. He didn’t felt any taste, he felt like he took a bite of bacteria. But Edwin Carter did not show it. Jane looked at his food and had to sigh again that this man was so elegant that he could not eat at the roadside stall. Seeing that he is so elegant and she was eating like a greedy child, she thought in her mind that can they live a good life together? When she was indulged in her thoughts Edwin Carter suddenly gently wiped it some oil from the corner of her lips with his thumb, "It’s full of oil." "So you disliked me?" Jane ignored her eating style and asked Edwin Carter a question. "No, I cannot." Edwin Carter’s answer was simple and short. But the bottom of his heart was not as calm as he looked. He even wanted to use his mouth to replace what his fingers had just done to her. After hearing a satisfactory answer, Jane smiled and threw the bamboo stick into the garbage can. She asked again, "What else do you like to eat?" Edwin Carter thought that all these things were full of bacteria. However, just for the sake of her company, he thought that these things could be eaten. So he said, "I’m not picky about food. I can eat anything." "Jane? Chairman Edwin Carter?" Katelyn Max’s voice suddenly sounded behind them. Jane got so scared that she hurriedly took two steps back to create a distance between her and Edwin Carter. As soon as she looked back, she saw Katelyn Max and Fiora Justin. They were looking at them with some questions in their eyes. "Mr. Carter, Jane, are you shopping together?" Katelyn Max’s was very straightforward. She can say whatever she thinks. Jane didn’t know how to explain. If she said no, it would definitely hurt Edwin Carter. But she had no courage to say yes. She unconsciously clenched her lips. Her heart was flustered and disordered and her hand unconsciously clenched into a fist. At that time Edwin Carter’s low voice fell into her ear, "Jane Ronan, Sienna will be here in a moment. You go and do your work." "Okay..." Jane whispered and looked at Edwin Carter. He always came and helps her whenever she needed him most. Edwin Carter noticed that she was still afraid to admit the relationship between them. He was well aware of the fact that she doesn’t want to get more attention in the company because of their relationship. She always wants to climb up with her own efforts but doesn’t want others to point at her. Edwin Carter nodded, turned around and left without looking at Katelyn Max and Fiora Justin. "Jane, you are really not here with Chairman Carter?" When Edwin Carter left, Katelyn Max asked immediately. "Chairman Carter has a wife. Why did he come to shopping with Jane? Why do you think like this?" Fiora Justin’s words help Jane but if one listens to them carefully there was a taunt. Jane smiled awkwardly. She didn’t speak. Actually, she was sad. "Jane, if you are alone you can come with us." Katelyn Max said. Jane didn’t respond but Katelyn Max pulled Jane so she followed them casually. Snacks, clothing, accessories - a wide range of commodities were in front of her, but Jane has no idea what to choose. She was thinking about Edwin Carter. It was really hard for him to find time to hang out with her. How could she waste such precious time just because of her inexplicable timidity? "Katelyn Max, Fiora Justin, I’m sorry. I have something else to do." Jane still wants to be with Edwin Carter. She didn’t want to go shopping with Katelyn Max and Fiora. "You don’t want to hang out with us?" Katelyn Max asked with a little disappointment. Fiora Justin quickly interrupted Katelyn Max and said, "Jane, go ahead. It’s alright" Jane just nodded and left. After Jane left, Katelyn Max looked back at Fiora Justin and asked, "Why did you pinch me?" "Can’t you see it?" Fiora Justin looked at the direction of Jane and an indifferent smile came up from her lips. "Wait and see, someone in our department will soon get promotion."
