We Are Meant To Be novel Chapter 126

Telling from his mien, Christy Zhong realized that she seemed to overreact. So she controlled her temper and said discreetly, “Sorry. I’ll be more careful about it.”

They both knew what she needed to be more careful about. But it’s something indescribable.

James Feng said “H’m” to accept her apology and then began to bury himself in work.

Noticing his cracked lips, Christy voluntarily got a glass of water for him. She put a straw in the water and handed it to him. She told him with a gentle voice, “President Feng. Drink some water for moisture.”

James didn’t say anything. He just jerked his head in her direction and took a sip from the straw. He did feel thirsty and want to drink water.

At this time, someone knocked on the door. James said “Come in” with the straw in his mouth.

It’s Junyan Zhang who came in. She immediately observed that Christy was feeding him water, which made her quite jealous. But on second thought, if James and Christy looked intimate, Yvonne Jiang would get disappointed from the shock. Thinking of that, Junyan felt much better now.

To her mind, Christy was easier to deal with than Yvonne who was tricky and capable.

Actually, James didn’t care whether a woman was capable or had a good background. He only followed his heart to favour a woman.

If he was an ordinary man, she could try to read his mind with routine thought. However, he wasn’t. So what she thought about him was wrong.

Junyan wasn’t embarrassed. She walked directly to him and handed him a file, saying, “President Feng. You can have a look at the document. If there are any problems, just tell me.” Then she glanced at the water glass as well as Christy who stood next to him, asking, “Do you change the dressing on your arms?”

The reason why she said the words was that she could comfort herself. It was because of his wound on his arm that he let Christy feed him water. In the past, they also had such physical contact. But it could not prove anything. It’s merely for convenience.

Thinking of it, Junyan felt really terrible. Was it really for convenience? But if she didn’t comfort herself in this way, she would feel worse.

James took several sips of water while shaking his head. He said, “Put it on the table.”

What he meant was very clear. He had no time to scan the document now. And he would do it until he finished the work at hand. Of course, there’s no rush. He could take his time and look through it carefully. Additionally, it was very thick. It would cost him some time to finish reading it.

Junyan had to put it on the table. She said awkwardly, “I’ll get back to work.” Then she turned around and left with both bitterness and complacency. She felt sad but she couldn’t tell anyone, which made her quite depressed.

James drank enough water and then turned back, observing in a cold tone, “Take it away.”

Christy quickly went away and put it aside.

Today was weekend. How Christy hoped that he had his own thing to deal with and gave her a break. After all, she got a small kid of whom she needed to take good care. Besides, she also should consider his feelings.

But she couldn’t demand anything. And she had no choice but to face up to reality.

Now it’s time to go off work. It’s late for her to pick up Justin. Christy had to send a message to Wen and asked her to do it. While she was thinking about how to start the conversation, James’ phone rang.

Christy secretly hoped that he could leave after the call, but of course, not with her.

Maybe God heard what she thought. Soon she heard James said seriously, “Okay. I’ll be right there.”

He really planned to go to other places. However, Christy became nervous for fear that he might take her with him.

James stood up and then told her, “You can leave after cleaning the desk. Be contactable at all times.”

Great! That was to say, he would go out by himself. Christy rejoiced to know that. Finally, she could take a good rest after a long time work. She wanted to tell Wen so much and there were a lot of places she planned to go with Justin.

As a friend, she realized that she didn’t show a lot of concern about Wen. And as a mother, there were so much she needed to atone for Justin. Boys at his age were still nestling in their parents’ arms.

“Absolutely I’ll,” answered Chrisy with excitement. She had made up her mind that no matter what happened, she would keep her phone on at all times. In addition, she would take her phone with her so that she could answer his call anytime.

After these days, she had realized that it’s not easy to do the job well. So she must make more efforts.

When she finished her words, James had walked to the door. Then he shut the door with a bang.

Christy quickly and efficiently cleaned the office and organized the desk. When she got all things done, she left the company and drove home immediately.

She just arrived at the apartment building when she saw Wen and Justin walked over from a supermarket with two bags of things in hand. She honked at them and rolled the window down. Then she waved at them, “Hi! I’m back.”

“Wow! You have learnt how to drive,” muttered Wen who almost couldn’t believe what she saw.

Justin also looked surprised and confused. He asked, “Mom. When do you learn to drive? Why do you learn it so fast?” He remembered that Christy didn’t know how to drive. So it’s strange to see her driving back.

Christy stared at them and didn’t get off. She yelled at them in a distance, “Rarely do I have free time. Now get on the car. Let’s go out for a good meal.”

When people had pressure, they needed to reduce it and relax themselves. Justin had stayed at school for a whole week. She must take him for a walk. Otherwise, he would miss so much fun.

Kids were pure and simple. She should put something in front of his eyes and let him know it step by step. And he should perceive the world using their own eyes.

Wen and Justin gazed at her with doubts. They almost asked her at the same time, “Have you made a fortune?”
