Chapter 244
âGresham overestimated himself by trying to strike up someone commented.
a conversation with Mr. Jim,â
âHow can a small company like Shepard Group think theyâre worthy of Mr. Jimâs attention? Even I wouldnât dare talk to Mr. Jim so casually.â
âExactly! Itâs not Mr. Jimâs fault. With so many people here, if everyone acted like Gresham, ignoring their status and chatting with Mr. Jim, wouldnât Mr. Jim be annoyed? Gresham should know his place.â
Gresham blushed with embarrassment. Indeed, he could not climb to Jimâs level.
However, considering the risks and benefits, Gresham had to converse with Jim earlier. As he was thinking this, he saw Jim sitting behind Bonnie.
âBonnie has such good luck. Mr. Jim is sitting behind her,â Gresham exclaimed with envy.
Trina opened her mouth. She had long known about the close relationship between Bonnie and Jim. She had never dared to tell her parents about it, fearing they would redirect some of their kindness toward Bonnie.
Watching Bonnie sitting in front of her, Trina was sure that this was not just luck, as Gresham claimed, but something Jim had arranged instead.
Avril shook Bonnieâs arm excitedly. âMr. Jim! Itâs Mr. Jim! Oh my god! I finally saw him in person! Iâm so excited!â
As she spoke, Avril exaggeratedly pinched her philtrum.
Bonnie looked at Avril with some surprise. âYouâre just a girl and not into combat. Why are you so excited to see Mr. Jim?â
In response to Bonnieâs question, Avril looked at her with an incredulous expression.
âBonnie, are you okay? Do I have to be into kickboxing to get excited about meeting Mr. Jim? Heâs the King of Combat! Most importantly, heâs one of our cityâs most eligible bachelors. Not only is he powerful, but heâs also handsome and manly.â
Bonnie detected a hint of something different in Avrilâs tone and looked at her with a raised eyebrow. âDo you have a crush on him?â
Avrilâs face instantly turned red. âWhat nonsense are you talking about? Gross, I just admire him. Thatâs all.â
âOh? Since itâs just pure admiration, why are you blushing?â Bonnie teased.
âIâm not blushing!â
âIn that case, I was thinking of introducing you two, but if you donât like him, then I wonât do it,â Bonnie joked.
Avrilâs eyes widened, staring at Bonnie. âAre youâ¦Are you telling me you know Mr. Jim?â
Bonnie nodded with a smile. âYes.â
âYou⦠Are you kidding me? How could you possibly know Mr. Jim?â Avril couldnât
believe it.
âIf you donât believe me, Iâll bring him along, and we can grab a meal together after the
auction ends.â
Avril continued to stare at Bonnie, unable to detect any trace of falsehood in her eyes.
âDâDo you know Mr. Jim?â Avrilâs tone still carried a hint of doubt.
âYouâll find out after the auction ends,â Bonnie said mysteriously.
Avril glanced at Bonnie, then quietly turned to look at Jim.
âIf you know him, why didnât Mr. Jim come over to greet you? And you didnât greet him either. You two acted like strangers,â Avril questioned..
âIf we did that, it would be too pretentious. I donât like being so flashy,â Bonnie explained.
