Chapter 20: Mary is reprimanded
"Congratulations, it looks like you're back together with James. Michael cut the steak on his plate into small pieces and took small bites to taste it, and it didn't look like the local British restaurant was doing anything authentic.
He knew that Song Weiwei had a lot of changes in his opinion of himself after the heavy rain, and took the initiative to say hello to him regardless of his previous suspicions, but it was precisely because of James' repeated hospitality that he finally won the smile of the beauty.
"There's no shortage of reasons for this. Song lowered his voice slightly to prevent others from hearing: "But that guy doesn't seem to be jealous of you." β
Michael shook his head helplessly: "James is a good old man, and any girl can easily fall in love with him." He looked meaningfully at Maria, who had been circling James, and told Song Weiwei: "My assistant has had a crush on James for many years. β
After seeing Song's slightly wooden expression, Michael hid a smug smile when he swallowed the wine, "Don't worry, I'll help you." β
Song looked at him suspiciously, this man changed too fast, why did he suddenly become so kind.
"You can get James' attention because it's different from everyone else. Michael spun his glass, the crimson liquid swaying in reverse. "After the freshness is over, will you still keep him?"
They fell silent for a few minutes, and before James returned, Michael gave Song a glimmer of hope, "Trust me, James will never leave you." β
"What are you talking about, you look very engaged. James took Bruce to the bathroom and came back, and when he saw Song, who was deep in thought, he asked with a slight curiosity.
"Take me one, you know astronomy and geography, you are going to stump me!" James took a bite before the steak cooled down, and the next second he spit out the scraps in his mouth with a napple, pouting: "God, this is one of the worst things I've ever tasted." β
"Are you used to eating? β
ββ¦β¦ It's delicious. Song Weiwei ate the meat on the plate and looked up at Maria. "WellβMiss Maria, you are so good, the other half must be something special. She tried not to make her words look so silly.
Maria glanced at Michael, "What do you say?"
"I mean, I mean Maria, what kind of boy do you like?" Song hesitated for a long time, but still asked.
Maria took a sip of her drink, glanced quickly at James from the edge of the glass, and smiled faintly, as soon as she put on this expression, she was probably going to say something ambiguous.
"Forgive me for being an ordinary woman, more interested in a beautiful exorcism. Maria said.
"A handsome guy?" Song asked slightly.
Maria nodded, "Yes, yes, are you disappointed?"
"No..."Song Weiwei was obviously still a little surprised. "I thought you'd like a top student with a strong book aroma. β
"Like James?" said Mary, playfully shifting the conversation to James.
Of course, James knew what Maria had been thinking about him in recent years, and he was deliberately evading, Song Weiwei asked now.
"So, do you like him?" Song Weiwei began to be a little aggressive, and according to the current reaction, it is really like what Michael said, Maria is very likely to like James, and a good-looking skin needs to be supported by an interesting soul.
Maria folded her hands on the table and leaned forward slightly: "No, I don't like him. β
With Song Weiwei taking Bruce back to the room to retrieve his wallet, James said in a bad tone to Maria, who was sitting on a chair in the hall playing with her phone: "What did you want to say just now." β
"What?"
James tried to keep his tone of voice: "Hold your personal emotions away and don't hurt her." β
"I really can't imagine that I have been with you for so many years, and I am not as good as a yellow-haired girl who has only known you for a few months. Mary then said, "Have you slept?"
Undoubtedly, James was starting to get bored with this woman, especially after that conversation. He called Michael away alone and warned him not to show up with the woman who was in the way.
"Do you want me to quit her? "Michael doesn't care.
James looked at Michael, and the other party's calmness was like a basin of cold water to extinguish all his annoyance. What's wrong with him just now, his temper is uncontrollable.
"I'm sorry... Mike. β
Michael smiled, "I'll do it if necessary, and now I need her to help me." β
James still remembers that when he first met Michael, he was accompanied by a little girl who had just graduated, and that was the agent he hired with a monthly salary of 300 dollars. So without any resources, Michael gave the kid a portion of his only salary. For a long time after meeting James, he entrusted the girl to his agent, and asked her to take her to meet some big people, so as to open up some ways. In contrast, in this circle, women are much easier to do than men.
It was at this time that Maria grew rapidly, but it didn't take long for James's good days to face setbacks one after another. He is very grateful to Mary who has been with him in those troubled days in the past, but it is precisely because of this that James has always treated the other party as only family.
Later, after discovering Maria's feelings, he kept refusing, and if it hadn't been for Michael shouting a halt in the middle a few times, James might have exploded in silence.
"I understand that you have too much work to do, and Maria is a right-hand man. James said.
Michael just gently hammered James on the shoulder, cheering him up and returning to the empty seat next to Maria.
"You should be a little more restrained. Michael's face was cold, and his tone dropped to freezing point.
Mary didn't feel good, it was a little different from what he usually was. "I just wanted to tell James..."
Michael interrupted her: "Tell him something. β
"You're like a brute in heat, but you're free, but don't miss me!"
Maria's eyes widened, surprised at the manner in which Michael spoke.
Two men stood at the elevator doorway, and Bruce, who jumped out of the elevator, got into his father's arms and spun around his waist. Song nodded slightly at Michael, and stepped forward to take James's arm.
Michael looked at the intimate behavior of the two, with a smile on his lips, but he couldn't help but sigh in his heart: Okay, good, the two of them have a tacit understanding that neither of them will mention Annie's matter, and they want to pass it like this.
Ha, it's a dream.
Back in the hall, Michael glanced at Maria, and after waiting for someone to follow, he ordered, "Go back tonight to pack your luggage and ask Song Weiwei to come to me alone." β
She had to do it, or Michael wouldn't have to wait until she returned home to order someone else to take over everything in her hands.
