Still Wanna Escape After Stealing My Heart? novel Chapter 2298

James immediately smiled gently. "Gloria, are you concerned about me?"

Gloria tilted her head and looked at James with a slightly innocent expression. "You don't believe that I’m concerned about you?

James smiled but did not say anything.

"Mister Dunn, I am actually very good at reading people. From the way you treated me, I can tell that you're a good person who knew what you were doing. I had been living on my own all these years. To be honest with you, it's really very difficult for people my age to make friends. It's unlike when we were kids. Look at me. I have been in the hospital for three days, even m y own daughter never came to visit me once, let alone those friends from the dance group. The person who was by my side was you. Mister Dunn, you're a good person. I have not misjudged you. You are a good person. A good person who was concerned about me and took care of me, s o why can't I be concerned about you?"

James immediately looked very moved. " Gloria, thank you. Having heard what you said, I did not get fired from the company for nothing. But, you don't have to worry about me, Gloria. I am a man, and I was doing quite well in my company. I have great accomplishments. It's still quite easy for me to find a stable and high-paying job i n this city. You don't have to be worried about me at all. Even if my boss didn't fire me, I already intended to resign. That's because I have already built quite a number of connections now and I'm almost done taking care of everything. In the near future, I want to start my own business and have my own fashion company."

Once Gloria heard that, she immediately understood everything. Jame's scheme has already surfaced. He wanted to start his own business. To do that, he definitely would need a huge amount of money.

Gloria tilted her head. "Mister Dunn, do you need money to start your business? Is there anything I can help you with?"

"No, no, no!" James said repeatedly. He kept waving his hands as well.

"Gloria, don't mention money to me. What d o you take me for?" James' expression was very serious, so much so that there was even a little disgust.

Gloria looked directly at James without even blinking her eyes at all.

James continued seriously. "Miss Shaw, if you don't mind me being harsh, you gave m e a feeling that you're insulting me when you asked me like that. I am a man and I have always been very honest. I got in contact with you earlier on because my company had sent me to do so. I didn't contact you on my own. I couldn't stand it. Since they had already selected a person and wanted to get in touch with her, and had already done so, why did they suddenly change their mind at the very last minute? What would that person think? Also, how could I save face in front o f the person? Miss Shaw, you absolutely can't think that it's because of you that I argued with the company. I just felt that they were the ones in the wrong in this matter! I am not willing to work for such a boss! This has nothing to do with you!"

Gloria smiled. "I am not talking about the matter of you resigning. I am talking about the matter of you starting a business. Is there anything I can help you with?"

"No need! I am a man. I never use a woman’s money! In the future, don't talk about money with me. Otherwise, we won't be able to be friends anymore," the man rejected with hesitation.

Gloria was speechless. It was after a while before she asked softly, "Can we still be friends?"

Only then did the man say in a softened tone, "Of course!"

Gloria smiled happily. "Then that's fine. That's fine."

"Let's go. I’ll send you home." The man got u p to help Gloria. He indeed was very gentlemanly. The way he helped support Gloria was just right and it did not make her feel awkward.
