“Are you having a crush on her?” Joan poked Jake in his arm and asked inquisitively.
He immediately responded, “What are you talking about? That's impossible! We just met. Don't talk nonsense!”
I could so feel my face burn up, probably blushinglOh Gosh! Did I fall for her?No, that's impossible! I've fallen for Joan! With that, Jake shook his head vigorously, trying to clear his mind.
“Don't deny it! After all, the onlooker sees most of the game!” Joan deliberately stretched her voice.
Knowing that Jake had fallen for someone, she felt a sudden flare of joy. It was not because he would no longer pester her, but because he
finally understood the meaning of love.
Jake was an heir to a wealthy family and the president of a corporation. He was handsome, kind-hearted, gentle, and decisive. However, he had never been in love and did not understand what love was. This man had been pestering Joan just because she helped him up from the ground in the hospital before. He misunderstood the real nature of love.
Instead, Joan knew Jake had confused love and friendship. His feelings toward her were nothing more than friendship. Hence, she was happy for him upon knowing that he had a crush on her assistant.
“Joan, you're the one I love!” Jake looked seriously at her.
“Jake, you just need some time. As to who did you fall for, only time will tell!” Joan replied in all
seriousness.
Upon hearing that, a confused expression crossed his face.
She then continued, “Well, my assistant should be very busy lately. Please help her out if you're free!”
“Okay!” Jake replied without hesitation.
They chatted for a while before he left the ward.
Jake did not go home, nor did he return to his office. He raised his head and glanced at the dark night sky. Suddenly, he turned the steering wheel, heading to the photography studio.
Meanwhile, Joan was standing on the balcony. She smiled as she watched his car leaving the hospital.
