Chapter 291 Develop Feelings


    The dinner party was held in a fancy French restaurant.


    "Lind, would you like to have a drink with me?" Tiffany was swiveling a ss of red wine in her


    hand, swaying it towards J. She nced around the crowd before darting her eyes back to


    J.


    With sincerity, she said, "I''m sure it must''ve been difficult for you to showcase the limits of your


    talent under all that pressure. I know what kind of person you are. Truthfully, I''d rather not say


    anything else. Different people have different views. Right now, I just want to drink this ss of wine


    with you first."


    Upon hearing Tiffany''s remark, all the employees of thepany fell silent.


    Amidst the quiet atmosphere, someone stood up and joked, "We didn''t think that Lind was very


    capable. She looks pretty meek. We''re actually surprised that she''s so incredible! Perhaps we


    should try to get along better after this drink?"


    ''This could be a way to overturn the previous rumors circting about me,'' J thought.


    She took a sip of wine and smiled at Tiffany. With a reserved smile, she said, "Thanks, everyone. I


    appreciate that."


    Now that she had cleared things out, J was over the moon.


    When the dinner party came to an end, she received two messages; one from the bank, and one


    from Brandon. He said that he had given her a bonus.


    It was arge sum of money.


    This time, J epted the money without any qualms. She had spent lots of time and energy for


    the fashion week in Seacisco, and she had indeed made great contributions to the event. Since she


    was just an ordinary woman who was short of money, J epted the bonus gratefully. She sent


    Brandon some words of gratitude to express how grateful she was.


    The dinner party didn''tst very long. Most of thepany''s employees were married, so they had


    to go back to their families and take care of them.


    Around eight in the evening, J''s colleagues sent her home.


    Unable to restrain her excitement, she started humming a song while she was changing her shoes.


    "You seem pretty happy. What''s going on?" When Ethan heard the door open, he came out to have


    a look.


    He was holding the clothes that he had just taken out of the dryer. His broad shoulders, narrow


    waist, and the simple white tank top he wore made him look even more muscr.


    J''s eyes lit up as she walked to the sofa toy down. She had the look of satisfaction and relief.


    "There was a project in thepany I had been working on. Now that it has beenpleted, and I


    get some extra bonus!"


    She didn''t tell Ethan all the details of the project, because she assumed that he didn''t know much


    about fashion shows. After all, men usually paid no attention to fashion.


    Ethan nodded in response. Then, he sat on the sofa with a pile of clothes in his arms. Thereafter, he


    folded the clothes neatly.


    It was then that J noticed that her underwear were among the clothes he was folding. Her bras


    and panties looked a lot smaller in his hands.


    "I can fold those myself!" J took her underwear away; her face turned red.


    Ethan didn''t think it was a big deal, for he had done this many times. He chuckled and pinched her


    blushing face. "We''re a couple. Why are you so shy about it?"


    The way her eyelids dropped and how her eyshes fluttered about made J looked timid yet


    lovable.


    Trying to suppress his smile, Ethan cleared his throat and decided to change the topic. "In that


    case, we should celebrate your victory! Let''s go out this weekend. You''ve been busy with work for


    so long that you haven''t had a chance to rx."


    He and J had been through a lot recently, and they weren''t even that close yet. All he wanted


    was to have an opportunity for them to develop their feelings for each other.


    As Jy on the sofa, she stared at the ceiling. She realized that so many things had been


    happeningtely.


    Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.


    She had done a good job during the fashion week, so she deserved to rx for once. Aside from


    that, ever since she and Ethan got together, she seemed to be getting luckier than before. J


    had left the Lind family, and she was able to stand out during the fashion week.


    She looked at Ethan and asked, "I have no idea where to go. Do you know where we can go?"


    Ethan picked up the neatly folded clothes, stood up, and headed back to his room, saying, "Yup! I''ll


    make the arrangements."


    Fearing that he would waste too much money, J sprang to her feet and said, "Don''t spend too


    much money!"


    Adhering to J''s request of not spending too much money, Ethan took her to his private ind


    near Seacisco. This ind hadn''t been developed yet. At a nce, it was just an ind with a


    dense jungle, and the only source of light at night was the lighthouse.


    Ethan got off the yacht, grabbed J''s waist, and lifted her up. The waves dashed against the


    rocks and hit the reef. The cloudless sky seemed to have lined up with the coast.


    "There aren''t any tickets or goods to spend money on here. So, what do you think? Is it economical


    enough?"
