Come With Me novel Chapter 177

Putting his finger on the hanging up key, Rogelio didn't press it immediately. Instead, he said to Robbie, "I will let mom accept Jasmine, but it has nothing to do with you."

Robbie chuckled, "Do you want to compete with me for this women?"

Their conversation made me nervous and my heart beat faster. I suddenly felt a little scared, but I didn't know what I was afraid of.

"She is not your woman. How can you say that I compete with you?"

After saying that, Rogelio hung up Robbie's phone.

I lowered my eyes and avoided eye contact with Rogelio on purpose. I was not sure what Rogelio meant.

Rogelio looked at me. I held the knife and fork in my hand unnaturally.

After a few seconds of silence, Rogelio said, "Jasmine, I have something to tell you, but I know it shouldn't be now. I need a little time, but not too long. Are you willing to wait for me?"

I was a person who doesn't have confidence in myself. I didn't dare to think deep about the meaning of what Rogelio said.

"If you have anything to say, just tell me when you want to say."

Rogelio smiled to me, "I'm very happy today. With you by my side, I always feel relaxed."

Looking at the food on my plate, Rogelio said, "You didn't eat much tonight. This is not to your taste? It doesn't matter. Let's go to another place tomorrow. "

"Tomorrow?"

"Yes, tomorrow, you heard it. Robbie won't arrange anything else for you. You can come to the company tomorrow as usual. I usually arrive at the company at half past eight. I hope you won't come too late."

Tonight, there was obviously a trace of domineering in Rogelio's tone. His tone was like an employee under his opponent, with a hint of order, which was not at all a negotiation.

Seeing that I didn't nod immediately, Rogelio raised his eyebrows and asked, "is there a problem?"

I shook my head numbly, "No."

Taking a look at his watch, Rogelio said, "It's getting late. It's not good for a woman to sleep too late. I'll drive you back. You can go to bed after you get home."

I looked at him and nodded. "Okay."

Rogelio stood up like a gentleman and pulled the chair for me.

On the way home, I followed Rogelio and he would occasionally turn around to look at me. He smiled, but he didn't say much.

I felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by Rogelio, but I often looked at him unconsciously. He seemed to be able to feel my gaze, and the corners of his mouth would slightly raise.

When we arrived at the door, I said to Rogelio, "I'm here. Thank you for sending me back. I'm going in."

Looking at me gently, Rogelio pursed his lips and nodded with a smile. "Go ahead. I'll watch you go in."

When I turned around, I could still feel the gaze of Rogelio, which made me seem to walk unnaturally. But I didn't dare to look back, because I didn't know how to face this sudden intimacy.

I opened the door and walked into the house, but I didn't look back. The moment I closed the door, I took a deep breath and leaned against the door until I heard the car driving away.

"Jasmine, what are you doing? Why are you standing there? Why don't you come in? Have you eaten yet? "
