Chapter 1156

Kevin was in thin pajamas, and Blake felt cold just looking at him. They were both in the large supermarket just outside the residential area, as Blake voluntarily pushed a cart and walked alongside Kevin.

Blake said, “Are you still informed about what’s happening in the company? StartReading’s employees don’t really play a crucial role at the headquarters of Jardin Corporation. Although StartReading’s profits are decent, they aren’t even one percent of what Jardin Corporation makes.

“Kevin… Do you still have feelings for me?”

As soon as she said this, she regretted it. She carefully observed Kevin’s expression, only to find him focused on choosing tomatoes instead of paying any attention to her.

She felt irritated.

When Kevin was about to put a tomato into the cart, Blake immediately picked it up, saying, “Are you silly? This tomato isn’t fresh. Let me pick them. How many do you want?”

Kevin dusted off his hands before taking out a black wallet from his pocket and throwing it into Blake’s hands. He walked away as he said, “Buy whatever you want. I’m going for a smoke.”

Blake felt infuriated watching Kevin’s irresponsible attitude.

She had never looked into his wallet before. After opening it, she found a stack of cash, a debit card, and an identification card. Blake took out the ID card from his wallet and examined it carefully. She noticed his birthdate and was shocked to realize he was nearly ten years older than her.

She thought, ‘No way! He looks like he’s in his mid-twenties at most. How could he be over thirty? He seems so much younger on this ID card, but still so fierce.’

She said, “Well, since he gave me the money to spend, I should just spend it.”

After Blake bought some vegetables, she loaded up on snacks and fruits in the snack and fruit sections, filling two shopping carts with large bags.

As the sales staff was helping her with the carts to pay at the cashier, Kevin happened to walk over. He had changed from his pajamas into a nice suit. Blake went to pay, and the total price was over a thousand dollars, but Kevin seemed unbothered.

Blake smiled. “Two bags are yours, and two are mine: Consider it a hard work’ fee, Mr. Harrison. I hope you don’t mind.”

Kevin took two bags and left without responding. Blake took the other two bags and followed. “Weren’t you going for a smoke? Why did you change your clothes? Where are you going?”

Kevin replied, “The hospital.”

Blake said, “To visit Mr. Jardin? I’ll come with you.

“By the way, I’ve been quite busy lately. Is his condition improving? I heard a lot of news in the company’s group chat. Susan is now the Deputy CEO’s assistant, while your position still hasn’t been filled.

Also… For some reason, Susan’s been very close to Cecilia recently.

The clothes and accessories she wears now are almost worth a million. I suspect Susan might’ve been colluding with Cecilia long ago. If Mr. Jardin doesn’t wake up soon, the company might end up falling into Cecilia’s hands.

“And what about you? What have you been up to lately? Are you really not taking care of the company anymore? You’re a founding employee of Jardin Corporation. Don’t you think it’s a waste to just leave like this?”

From stepping into the elevator to the door of the apartment on the sixteenth floor, Blake had not stopped talking.

She did not notice that Kevin did not seem annoyed by her being talkative.

He placed his things on the dining table, lifted his wrist to check the time, and said coldly, “You have an hour and a half to get the meal ready. When I return, I’ll answer one question of yours. You only get one, so think about what you want to ask until then.”
