Chapter 200
The Contract Marriage
David looked at the road in front of him and smiled. After a while, he turned around and looked at Kendall. He nodded happily. âOkay. I will accept you as my secretary.â
âMr. David, you are not allowed to cheat. . .â Kendall laughed happily when she heard that.
âYes, I will keep my word.â David nodded again.
Kendall held Sarahâs hand and squeezed her eyes happily.
The car quickly reached Davidâs hotel and the three of them got out of the car.
David carried his suitcase and walked a few steps before a clerk with sharp eyes ran over. He carried the suitcase upstairs for him. David brought the two of them into the hotel lobby.
The hotel manager already knew that the boss was coming back today, so they all waited in the lobby.
As soon as David walked in, all the employees smiled and applauded.
David smiled and looked at everyone. He waved his hand. âIt has been hard on all of you during this period of time. These three months, I have learned some advanced business ideas from overseas. In the following days, I might have to make some adjustments to the hotel, but it will definitely develop in a positive way. I hope everyone will continue to work hard.â
After saying that, he looked at the hotel manager and instructed, âMiss Kendall will be my secretary from now on. Take her to familiarize with our hotelâs business first.â
After saying that, he looked at Kendall, who was at the side, and said, âYou just came into contact with this industry. Learn from him first. There should be no problem, right?â
Kendall immediately smiled and nodded. âNo problem!â
âOkay! Then you go with him.â David looked at Sarah and said, âGo to my office and have a seat. . .â
Sarah saw that Kendall had indeed left with the hotel manager, so she followed David upstairs. They entered his office. Once she closed the office door, Sarah looked at him with some embarrassment.
âMr. David, I didnât know the vice president was going to pick you up today. . .â
What happened at the airport made Sarah feel indescribably guilty in her heart.
David looked at her and smiled. He dragged the suitcase on the floor and placed it on the coffee table.
He unzipped the suitcase and took out an exquisite gift box from inside. He handed it to her. âItâs for you.â
âThank you, Mr. David.â Sarah did not expect him to prepare a gift for her. She immediately took it gratefully.
âOpen it and take a look.â
David sat down beside her and reached out to take the gift box from her hand. He opened it for her. It turned out that there was a device inside.
David quickly opened the device. He stuffed the earpiece into Sarahâs ear and placed the other end of the instrument on her bulging stomach. âYou can hear the childâs heartbeat clearly. You can chat with him before going to bed every night.â
Sarah did not expect him to think so carefully for her. She was touched and said, âMr. David, thank you.
. .â
David smiled and looked at her. âItâs just a gift. What is there to thank? It will not cost much.â
âMr. David, Iâm sorry. I didnât expect Deputy President Wilson to pick you up too. . .â Thinking of Jasmineâs gloomy back as she left, Sarah could not help but feel sorry.
âSilly girl. If I have a fate with her, we will not be separated. If there is no fate, then. . . Even if we are together every day, there will not be any results. This has nothing to do with you. Donât take responsibility for everything. Do you understand?â David said with a smile. He then looked at her and asked, âBy the way, has Christian come back during this period of time?â
David asked her with a smile. He had thought it through a lot during this period of time. Even if he could not be with her for the rest of his life, as long as she was happy, he would be happy.
Hearing Davidâs direct question, Sarah slightly pursed her lower lip and looked down. âYes. . .â
She really missed Christian!
single day!
David looked at her said expression and raised his hand to rub her head lovingly. He smiled and said, âI might have to go somewhere else after I come back this time. One of the places is the city where Christianâs troops are. Are you interested in going with me?â
Sarah was stunned when she heard him. After a while, she looked up at him in disbelief and surprise.
âMr. David, is what you said true? Are you really willing to take me there?â
âHave I ever lied to you? As long as you want to go, I will arrange it.â
Sarah thought about how she could see Christian âOkay. Then Iâll make arrangements then bring you along when the time comes. But you might days.
After Iâll arrange everything here, we can go. Is that okay?â
Sarah immediately nodded. âOkay! You first make arrangements for your own matters.â
David looked at her excited look and smiled. âDonât tell Christian for now. Give him a surprise!â
âMr. David, I donât even know how to thank you. . .â
Sarah sniffed. She had always felt that she owed David too much. She did not expect that even in this situation, he would still think so much for her.
Sarah did not know how to say the words of gratitude.
David looked at Sarahâs small face and said with some emotion, âSilly girl, I did not do this to make you say words of gratitude. Even if we canât be husband and wife, arenât you still my sister? Donât have any mental burdens. Since you choose to live with Christian, then you must live happily. That is the thing I am most happy about. Do you understand?â
âYes. . .â Sarah nodded and then looked disturb you.â
Sarah stood up as she spoke. But she suddenly remembered that Kendall was still downstairs. She looked at David with a somewhat apologetic expression. âMr. David, Kendall, she. . .â
David looked at her and waved his hand. âDonât worry about my matter. Donât worry, I will handle Kendallâs matter well.â
âOkay, then I will go back first.â
âWait a minute. Iâll send you back first.â After saying that, David picked up the car keys and brought Sarah out.
âMr. David, you are very busy. Donât worry about me. I will go by myself.â
David ignored her words and waved his hand. âLetâs go.â
As long as it was something David wanted to do, Sarah could not refute. No matter how she refused, David still insisted on sending her home.
Seeing her go upstairs and wave at him on the balcony, David felt relieved and drove away.
When the car drove out of Sarahâs residential area, David took out his phone and quickly dialed Jasmineâs number.
At the airport, watching her turn around The phone rang many times before it finally connected. Jasmineâs cold voice came from the other end of the phone. âAssistant Brown, is something the matter?â
âThank you for picking me up at the airport.â
âThereâs nothing to thank me for. Is there anything else, Assistant Brown?â
Jasmineâs voice was a little cold and hard When she thought that she specially dressed herself up and went to the airport but in the end, he didnât even say a word to her, she felt angry.
Such an encounter was simply an insult to her. She had grown up so much but she had never been so neglected before!
David heard her speak and smiled. âDidnât you say that I wasnât a member of Wilson Group when I came back from America? Why did you still call me Assistant Brown?â
âYes! Youâre right! I canât call you Assistant Brown anymore! Then what do you mean by calling me now? Just to remind me that youâre leaving Wilson Group, right?â Jasmine was angry for the first time when she heard Davidâs words.
âOf course! Donât tell me you donât keep your promise? You are âDavid Brown, I really didnât expect you to be this kind of person! Consider me wrong!â
âThen who do you think I am?â
âYou know who you are!â Jasmine felt a little dizzy from Davidâs words. She raised her finger and gently rubbed her forehead.
David heard her words and smiled again. He then slowly said, âJasmine, letâs have dinner together tonight.â
Jasmine was instantly stunned.
The two of them had known each other for so long yet this were the first time David took the initiative to invite her for dinner.
Jasmine was a little excited, but she could not believe her ears. She held her phone tightly and asked in return: âWas what you just said. . . True? Did I hear it wrong?â
David heard what she said and smiled. âDid you not hear it clearly, or do you want to reject me?â
âI, I. . . I know. . .â For the first time, Jasmine was a little nervous. She raised her hand and gently pressed on her chest. She was indescribably excited.
David raised his wrist to look at the time and said slowly, âI still have something to deal with. I will pick you up at six oâclock. Wait for me at the villa.â
Jasmine did not want him to be too troublesome when she heard him come to pick her up. She immediately stopped him. âNo need. You tell me the location. I can go by myself.â
âListen to me. Wait for me in the villa. See you later.â
Jasmine heard a blind sound from the phone and happily stood up from the chaise lounge. She took her phone and slippers and ran into her brotherâs study.
âSyrus Wilson!â Jasmine walked in and smiled as she walked to her brotherâs desk and sat down. She looked at him happily and smiled.
Syrus put down the mouse and rubbed his forehead. He looked at his second sister speechlessly and begged, âSister, can you remove the cold and heartless Wilson word when you call me? Those who donât know that you are my second sister will think that you are my superior.â
Jasmine immediately smiled and waved her hand, âI know, I know, I know! Dear brother, let me tell you a happy thing.â
Syrus smiled. âDidnât you come back with a bitter face? Why did you become so happy in the blink of an eye? Tell me, is it possible that the tree is going to bloom?â
Syrus was speechless. âSister, you are so happy with just a phone call?â
âHe asked me to have dinner with him tonight!â Jasmine immediately replied with a smile.
Hearing this, Syrus immediately raised his eyebrows and nodded. âLooks like it really bloomed! Not bad! Then you have to work harder. By the way, did he say where to eat?â
Syrus had always been concerned about Jasmineâs relationship. Now that he heard that David was treating Jasmine to a meal, he felt happy for her from the bottom of his heart.
