Chapter 256: So Shameless
Chapter 256: So Shameless
Africa? For a year?
"Please, can we not go? I don't want to go to Africa!"
"Me, neither. I'm getting married soon. If I go to Africa for a year, my boyfriend will ditch me and start over with someone else!"
"Everything there is crappy. I won't go! I don't want to live with black people!"
All the clerks protested and cried.
"Fine. Then no Africa...."
An elegant man stood up and said seriously.
...
It worked, and the women all fell silent.
They didn't need to go to Africa?
Jasper laughed grimly.
"You women are short-sighted. You don't realize how precious my gift to you is. Do you know you are supposed to die today? If I hadn't said you were going to Africa, none of you would have survived! You pissed Mr. Smith off, and you still hope to lead a decent life? It's pipedream! Moreover, you've offended the one person he cares about the most! And he tends to hold a grudge. Choose for yourselves. Training in Africa for a year, or staying here and getting killed by Mr. Smith?"
No one dared to answer.
The women all gaped at one another.
Getting killed?
Cold sweat oozed out of their heads.
Jasper coldly swept over them and waved his hand. "Take them to the airport and charter a plane to fly them over."
All the women fell silent, because they saw a group of gangsters with guns waiting for them.
Only then did they realize they had just visited Death's door.
It was terrifying to think about.
Only Elaine, Emmett, and Hazel remained in the VIP hall.
Hazel looked at the pair and felt unwanted.
Finally...
Emmett said, "Hazel, aren't you going to look around?"
...
Hazel didn't get the subtext and said.
"Well, I'm done shopping. I've been doing that for quite a while...."
"Don't stop. There must be something else you want to explore."
Emmett sounded like he was giving an order. Hazel trembled in horror and took a quick glance at him, sticking out her tongue.
"Right, I remember now. I do have a few things to check out. Elaine, keep Mr. Smith company. You can call me later. Talk to you soon."
"Stop, Hazel! You can't go shopping by yourself! Wait for me! Let's do it together after I change this dress."
Elaine was nervous. If Hazel got away, she would be left alone with Bad-bear Smith.
She shouted anxiously waving her hand.
Hazel had headed for the hills. As she ran, she turned around and waved her hand at Elaine.
"It's better if I go by myself. Call me later!"
'There is nothing else I can do. Elaine, don't blame me for not being a good friend!'
'Just blame your boyfriend for having those scary eyes!'
'One glance from him, and I almost had a heart attack,' Hazel thought to herself.
Elaine stomped in anger.
"Hazel! You rat! How dare you leave me behind! Damn it! Just wait and see!"
She was alone with Bad-bear Smith now. She was embarrassed, helpless, and started to panic.
Emmett was still hugging her, and he didn't find it inappropriate.
On the contrary, Elaine turned around and whispered.
"Let go of me. I should go now."
"Your friend just abandoned you. Where can you go?"
Emmett wouldn't let her go and breathed hot air onto her neck with his head low.
Elaine's face started to burn and turned red.
"Anyway, it's not your business. Release me."
"Then tell me where you want to go, and then I will set you free."
Elaine looked up at Emmett in disbelief. She was surprised a dignified CEO could be so shameless.
...
"You are unreasonable. Why would I tell you where I am going?"
"Fine, if you don't say it, I won't let you go. Feel free to try and push me away with your inner power."
Emmett raised his eyebrows towards Elaine, his lips poised between a laugh and silence.
Elaine found him unbelievable.
Come on. Not everyone practiced his inner power.
To her, it was even harder than flying!
How hilarious!
"Mr. Smith, people are staring at us."
"So what? We aren't doing anything shameful, are we? What's wrong with hugging? Who says I can't hug my girl in public?"
"I have nothing to do with you anymore. Why are you still doing this?"
"It's not for you to decide. Elaine, you just crossed me, saying something about the calendar. Let me tell you. I was very upset to hear that! If you dare to say something like it again, I'll kiss your chest in public! What do you think now?"
Damn!
Elaine tensed up all over.
Kissing her chest in public?
Really?
Pervert! Shame on you!
Elaine put on a long face and helplessly twisted her body, begging him.
"Mr. Smith, can you be reasonable?"
"Not to you!"
"Why? Why not me?"
What did she do to him? Why did he keep pestering her? Heavens, what was she going to do with this?
Emmett's eyes darkened as he stared at her and said slowly.
"Because ... you are ... special to me."
Elaine was lost for words.
'Bad-bear Smith, there was really no stopping you from being annoying!' she thought.
"Then, if I tell you where I'm going, you will let me go?"
Emmett smiled.
"Yes, shoot."
In fact, Elaine had no idea where she should go, so she pursed her lips and said after thinking for a moment.
"I'm going to the bookstore."
"Alright, then I'll accompany you to the bookstore."
...
"What? Why? Why would you do that? I don't need you to accompany me. Do your own thing, and I will do mine. We have nothing to do with each other."
Emmett smiled wickedly, "No. I insist."
"Alright, then I'm not going there. I will go to the pedestrian street."
"Fine, I'll take a walk with you."
"Excuse me? You would go there? Do you have nothing else to do?"
Elaine broke into cold sweat.
"Forget it. No pedestrian street. I want to be at the children’s park."
'Bad-bear Smith, I can go to the children’s park, but not you. You 26-year-old dinosaur! See if you can fit in!' she thought.
However...
"Cool, children’s park it is."
Elaine was out of tricks.
She got no word for this clingy bastard.
Hang on there, girl!
Bad-bear Smith, what were you trying to pull off?
"What do you want to do? Can you just tell me? Stop acting like this." NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
Emmett smiled satisfactorily.
"I'm not doing anything. I just want to spend more time with you."
Elaine shook her lips.
"You're the CEO. You're busy. You don't need to be with me."
"I said I wanted to."
Someone interrupted their bickering with a cough.
"I'm sorry to disturb you."
Jasper rubbed his hands and sighed helplessly a few meters away.
'Emmett, why are you doing this?'
'Don't you know it doesn't suit you, the young master of the ZH Clan?'
'You are so needy...,' Jasper thought.
Elaine turned around and blushed.
It was the foxy Jasper!
It was embarrassing he saw them being so intimate.
Elaine pushed Emmett hard to get away from him. Unfortunately, it was useless again.
Emmett held her tightly. It seemed they had been one.
Elaine looked like she was about to cry.
"Vice-President Hall...."
Emmett coldly glanced at Jasper and felt a little annoyed. "What's the matter? Spit it out."
...
"Mr. Smith, people are coming and going here. Why don't you continue your talk somewhere more private?"
Elaine's eyes lit up.
She nodded. "Yes, yes! Vice-President Hall is right!"
However, Jasper added, "What about a hotel room?"
Elaine was beyond angry.
'Damn Jasper! Why do you keep screwing with me! Go die!'
'You wicked man!'
'Hotel room my ass! You stupid bag of bad ideas! I hate you!' Elaine cursed in her heart.
Emmett watched as Elaine's expressions changed and felt an itch to laugh.
The girl's face turned green upon hearing that. How adorable!
Emmett lazily stretched out his thick eyebrows and said.
"Elaine wants to go to the children’s park to feel younger. Jasper, you came at the right time. Find us some nice lovers' clothes. We will dress up for the children’s park."
(∞ _ ∞)
Elaine and Jasper were both dumbfounded.
The corner of Jasper's mouth twitched as his face stiffened.
children’s park?
Really?
Wasn't he going to attend that important meeting?
Elaine was indeed great at screwing people over!
Troublemaker!
Elaine couldn't help but say, "Emmett, are you really going to the children’s park?"
Emmett lowered his head, the tip of his nose almost touching Elaine's nose.
"I have to grant my girl's request. We will be wild this afternoon," he said dotingly.
Elaine was depressed. "Why? Why are you suddenly like this?"
Emmett closed his charming eyes, looking serious and determined. "I want to be on your calendar!"
That was powerful! Elaine couldn't argue back.
She had been just throwing that calendar analogy out there, but this guy took it seriously.
He cared about the metaphor?
Elaine looked up at Emmett blankly, while Emmett was staring at her affectionately.
Time seemed to have frozen.
Jasper grabbed his hair helplessly and ran to the casual clothes area, picking two sets of sportswear there and giving them to Emmett.
