Chapter 91
Eleanor thought for a moment and figured that if she left the lounge, she might bump into Bernard, so she shook her head.
Jason couldn’t help but give her a helpless look, “I’ll go grab you some food.”
Despite Eleanor’s protest, he got up and left right away.
Jason had a special status, and the Laurence Group treated him accordingly. The restaurant he went to was the same one Bernard was in.
Faced with a dazzling array of food, Jason didn’t know what to pick.
He simply took out his phone and called Eleanor, “What do you like to eat?”
Eleanor said she didn’t want to eat anything, but Jason persuaded her, “You have to eat something. You have to take care of me in the afternoon.”
She had no choice but to say, “Just food that’s easy to digest.”
Jason gently asked, “So I’ll get you some fish, veggies, and yogurt. What about the main course?”
“No need, that’s enough.”
“Alright, wait for me.”
Seeing her so obedient, Jason smiled and hung up the phone. Just as he was about to get the food, a chilly. voice came from behind him, “Jason is pretty busy, attending the bidding meeting while taking care of his girlfriend.”
Jason turned around and saw Bernard standing there.
His tall figure, although similar to Jason’s, had a different sense of oppression, which made Jason feel uncomfortable.
Jason looked at him and said softly, “Mr. Laurence, don’t joke with me. How could I bring my girlfriend to a bidding meeting?”
Bernard raised his eyebrows slightly, “So, if Ms. Shultz isn’t your girlfriend, then what is she?”
Jason didn’t like his arrogant tone but still patiently answered, “There’s nothing between her and me, it’s
just…” This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
“Just what?” Asked Bernard.
The eagerness in his tone made Jason a bit puzzled, “Why are you so concerned about me and Ms. Shultz?” Bernard’s face was emotionless, with a hint of a smile, “I just want to see how you’d accept a woman who
once was with Josef.”
He even mocked in the end, “Aren’t you afraid of getting some weird diseases?”
Hearing these words, Jason’s face darkened, “It’s very ungentlemanly for you to belittle a woman like this.”
Bernard walked up to Jason and stared at him coldly, “So what do you think is gentlemanly?”
Jason didn’t answer but gave him a scrutinizing look. “You always seem to be targeting me.”
At the bidding meeting, in the restaurant, even at their first meeting, he was always targeting Jason.
He hadn’t seen Bernard before, and even less likely to have offended him. Why would he act like this to him?
Bernard’s face wavered slightly but soon returned to normal, “I’m just afraid you’d be deceived.”
“Do you mean Ms. Shultz is deceiving me?” Jason asked the doubts in his heart.
Bernard didn’t answer, his expression somewhat arrogant.
But Jason knew he had guessed correctly and said, “You might be misunderstanding something. I’ve known. Ms. Shultz for many years. I know her best, and she won’t deceive me.”
His tone got heavier after the last sentence, as if he was saying it to himself.
Back then, she had knelt at the doorstep of the Clowers family, begging him to come out and see her. He found her annoying at that time. After some investigation, he felt that she was very scheming, and he ignored her after that.
But the past few days of getting along made him realize that Eleanor wasn’t like that.
Jason’s words made a hint of anger appear on Bernard’s cold face, “Have you known each other for many years?”
Jason didn’t notice anything wrong and answered softly, “You could say we’ve known each other since childhood.”
It was just that he had lost his memory and didn’t remember their past, otherwise he wouldn’t be clueless about everything.
