Elaine lowers her head and walks towards to exit. Then she hears a loud voice calling her name.
“Elaine, where are you going?”
“Ahhh…” Elaine screams out of startle.
Jasper feels speechless about Elaine’s overreaction. “Do you have to react like that? I’m not a ghost.”
“Oh, it’s you. Vice-President Hall. You are back from the Sahara?”
Elaine takes a breath of relief when she finally gets a closer look of the person who calls her name.
It is from Jasper.
Emmett and Jasper are the same kinds of person. They are obsessed with their appearance. No matter
what they do or where they are, they must present their best self to the world.
Look at Jasper. He is still looking refined and polished after exposing under the sun at the Sahara for
so many days.
There Elaine thought he is going to become tanned.
“Yes. Emmett called and asked me to return immediately. So here I am. Now, where are you going?”
Jasper kept a three-meter distance with Elaine. He doesn’t want to get too close to her.
“I…I’m going out for lunch. It is lunchtime.”
Jasper nods, “I see. I’m going to see Emmett and report my work progress now. See you later.”
Jasper then waves his hand and walks into the VIP lift.
Elaine strokes her chest and takes a breath of relief.
Jasper feels curious as he watches the number on the screen of the lift.
“Was it Oliver’s car that I saw just now? I didn't mistake it, right? Wait, something must have been
wrong. Why did he come to our office?”
These are the people in higher management. How would they have the time to go out to see their
friend in the afternoon? Their time is either stuffed by business lunches or meetings. Most of them are
just going to order deliveries for lunch to save time for their work.
Elaine runs out of the office building, and she sees Oliver standing beside his car, smiling at her.
His eyes sparkle like there are stars in them and his lips are so kissable.
“Elaine,” Oliver walks towards her and holds Elaine’s hand with his right hand.
Elaine feels slightly uncomfortable with his action and wants to shake his hands off. However, when
she sees Oliver’s injured arm, she changes her mind out of guilt.
It is just a hand-holding. There’s no big deal, Elaine thinks.
“Oliver, does your arm still hurt?”
Oliver frowns and says earnestly, “Of course it hurts. It hurts more when I’m thinking of you.”
Elaine stuns for a minute, and she realizes Oliver is just playing the victim. She chuckles.
“Let’s go and have lunch,” Oliver smiles blissfully and looks at Elaine.
“Shouldn’t we take care of your injury first?”
Elaine is worry about Oliver’s left arm, “It could affect your recovery if you change the medicine late.”
“No, it won’t. I promise. I won’t allow myself to be handicapped. I don’t want to affect your impression
on me.”
Oliver touches Elaine’s nose lightly and smiles charmingly.
Elaine feels speechless.
Her heart is racing, and she could foresee that under the pursue of both Oliver and Emmett, it will not
be the last time her heart race crazily.
“Oh, please. Can you stop your sweet talks?” Elaine smiles embarrassingly.
Oliver continues staring at Elaine charmingly.
Elaine feels shy, and her face is flushed.
Oliver’s car drives into a spacious field. It is a place surrounded by greens and there are woods around
place.
“Wow, this is so beautiful. What is this place?”
“A dining place. It is called Scenic Restaurant.”
“Scenic Restaurant?”
“Yes.”
“This place definitely deserves the name. It is so beautiful here.”
Oliver opens the door for Elaine. Elaine jumps out of the car and looks around curiously.
They are in an empty field. There are no passers-by or cars, and it feels like some private gardens.
“There is a stream there! Let’s go and have a look!”
Oliver smiles while looking at Elaine’s exciting expression, “Let’s go!”
“Wow, the water is crystal clear! There are rocks and fish! Wait, can we step on the rocks? ”
Elaine is excited like a child. She turns around and looks at Oliver.
A natural smile on Elaine’s face stuns Oliver.
His heart just got attacked by a harmless animal like Elaine.
“Of…Of course you can.”
Elaine lifts her skirts up and takes off her shoes. She then immediately dips her legs into the water.
“It feels so comfortable! The water is cooling. Oliver, come and try it! It is fun!”
Elaine stands on the rocks with her legs dips in the water. She looks as beautiful as a lotus.
Oliver is enchanted.
“Dear God, I’m begging you. Please stretch this moment into a thousand. I would live in it forever,”
Oliver secretly wishes.
He smiles bitterly and walks towards the stream.
Oliver bends down, collects some water in his palm and starts splashing at Elaine.
“Hey, stop that. Stop splashing water on me!”
Elaine closes her eyes and screams. She then starts splashing water at Oliver with her legs.
Oliver was only joking. He wasn’t really going to splash water on Elaine, but Elaine didn’t know it. She
starts kicking and splashing water on Oliver’s face. Looking at Oliver being wet, she laughs loudly.
“There’s water on your face now! Ha-ha!”
Oliver plays the victim and says, “Elaine, why are you treating me with your footbath water? You’re
naughty.”
Elaine continues laughing while her legs are still dipping in the water.
After a while, Elaine leaves the water with a heavy heart.
She doesn’t even care about wearing shoes anymore. The place is cover in green grasses, so her feet
wouldn’t get hurt from walking on soft grasses.
Oliver picks up Elaine’s shoes and walks into the woods.
Elaine sees a carpet under the shade of a few trees.
A coffee table is on the carpet, and there are many foods on the table.
Elaine is fascinated.
The blue skies, the clouds and the greeneries, it is exactly like the setting of a fairy tale.
A picnic!
“What…”
“That’s our lunch over there. How do you like it? Do you like to sit on the grass?”
Elaine smiles at Oliver and hops excitedly.
“Yay! Are we going to have a picnic?”
Elaine cheers and runs towards the direction of the coffee table.
She walks around the carpet, then sits on it with her legs crossed.
Elaine turns around and waves at Oliver with a smile on her face.
“Oliver, come on! It is fun sitting here. Come quick!”
Oliver walks toward Elaine in utter joy.
Their shoes are put together beside the carpet.
Oliver and Elaine are sitting face to face with their legs crossed. They are enjoying their delicious lunch
under the shade of the trees.
What Oliver didn’t tell Elaine is that the place is actually owned by the JY Group. Nobody can come to
this place unless they have a permit. Sometimes, they would rent it to government units, but of course,
they need to apply for permits too.
This place is, in fact, a private garden for the significant personnel of the Young family.
In order to allow Elaine to enjoy her time here, Oliver has ordered the caretaker to forbid everyone from
stepping into Scenic Restaurant.
“Isn’t it a nice place here? Do you like the place?”
Oliver keeps fetching food into Elaine’s plate. He rarely takes a bite.
“Yes, this place is nice. Just like in the fairy tales. It would be perfect if there are horses and lambs.”
Elaine stuffs foods into her mouth and points at random directions with her fork, “But of course, it’d be
best if they don’t poop or it would be too smelly for such a beautiful place.”
Elaine’s innocent thoughts amused Oliver.
Elaine is a simple and innocent girl. She is not pretentious, and she doesn’t overdress herself.
But this is the exact kind of girl who is deadly attractive and charming.
When you look at her, you will lose in thoughts.
You would want her more when you look into her clear eyes.
…
Jasper receives warm welcomes from the colleagues once he is back in the office.
Who isn’t happy when a handsome and a more easy-going Vice-President comes back to the office?
“Emmett, I’m back. Oh, no. It should be President Smith. Here is your lunchbox. Sophia asked me to
send it in.”
Jasper chuckles as he walks into the President Office and put the lunchbox on Emmett’s table.
“Sophia?” Emmett is a little surprised.
The lunch box is not from Elaine?
Jasper ignores the question he had in mind. He stands up with a smile, walks towards Jasper and hugs
him.
“Jasper, thanks for coming back.”
Jasper’s eyes light up immediately, “Don’t mention it. I did found something interest over there.”
Emmett nods and sits Jasper down, “Initially I should have a welcome-back lunch with you, but I’m
overwhelmed today, and we are all having lunch boxes. I will ask Elaine to get you one too.”
“Don’t trouble Elaine. She has got off work.”
“What?”
Emmett furrows his brows.
“I saw her when I was coming up. She said she needs to go to some places.”
“Jasper, thanks for coming back.”
Jasper’s eyes light up immediately, “Don’t mention it. | did found something interest over there.”
Emmett nods and sits Jasper down, “Initially | should have a welcome-back lunch with you, but I’m
overwhelmed today, and we are all having lunch boxes. | will ask Elaine to get you one too.”
“Don't trouble Elaine. She has got off work.”
“What?”
Emmett furrows his brows.
“| saw her when | was coming up. She said she needs to go to some places.”
