There was still no change in Derek's indifferent and abstinent look. Standing there, if it weren't for the
slight undulation of his chest, she would have doubted if he was a sculpture.
His words were very sweet, but after he said it, there was a trace of coldness.
"Derek, can you stop making fun of us?"
Hester sighed. In the end, she couldn't stand being watched. She always had the illusion of being a
clown. Besides, she must offend someone recently so that she was very unlucky.
"What are you talking about?" Derek turned his head and looked at Hester with his calm eyes. His
resolute outline added a sharp edge to his whole body.
"Derek, please don't get involved in this, okay?"
Hester was about to cry. Derek was usually cold, but now the situation was so bad. Didn't he have any
intention of helping her?
Derek raised his eyebrows and finally realized what she meant. He was a business man, and he
seemed to be insensitive to love.
But it was not his fault. After all, he had a kind of fear and disgust for girls since he was a child.
After a moment of silence, he slowly walked to Hester, bent down, and pulled her up into his arms.
"If you feel uncomfortable here, I'll take you away!"
"Derek!" Hester took a deep breath and said. Why was her life so miserable?!
"Mr. Derek, we are still talking about business!" Jackson's eyes darkened and he said slowly.
Hearing that, Derek was stunned. He turned around and looked at Jackson calmly. After thinking for a
moment, he tightened his grip on Hester.
"My fiancee is not feeling well. Let's talk about it another day!"
Seeing that things were going to be unpredictable, Hester could do nothing but complain. She glanced
at her hand in silence and suddenly wanted to hit Derek.
Of course, the premise was that she could beat the freak like him.
"Mr. Derek, please let go of my girlfriend!" Austin stood up with a smile on his face, but for no reason
there was a trace of gloom, which made people feel cold at the back of their necks.
"Girlfriend?" Raising his eyebrows, Derek uttered the word coldly. His eyes wandered over Hester, with
profound meaning.
"When did you have a boyfriend?"
"……"
Hester shook off his hand and sat aside, touching her forehead. She couldn't bear to look at the men in
front of her. 'Don't you notice the strange looks from the people around you?' she thought.
"If you feel sorry for me, I can give you some advice!" Looking at the dark aura around Hester, Derek
couldn't bear it and said slowly.
"How can you comfort me?" Compared with Hester's silence, Austin was very curious about how Derek
would comfort her. There was obviously something wrong!
Raising her head sadly, Hester took a deep breath and raised her hand weakly to make a feasible
suggestion. She couldn't stand being watched by so many people!
"Can we change to another place?"
They looked at each other and nodded in agreement. Therefore, both Jackson and Derek, who were
talking about business, provided their private rooms and continued to solve this messy relationship.
"You look depressed. Are you in a bad mood?" Sitting next to Hester, Derek quietly stared at her eyes
and asked slowly.
Hester rolled her eyes. She didn't want to talk to Derek whose EQ was zero. The situation was so
obvious. Did he just find it out now?
If it weren't for his interruption, she would have left this place with Brother Austin.
Being ignored by Hester, Derek felt embarrassed. But there was no change on his calm face, and he
still looked serious.
"If it's because of your boyfriend, I can say something for you!"
"Derek, can you keep quiet?" Hester said cautiously, touching her forehead. She wasn't sure if she
would beat him up the next second.
"Okay!" Derek nodded calmly, not feeling anything wrong. He just answered out of respect.
As the only person who knew the truth, Austin endured the pain. He had known that Derek was an
upright man, but today he had seen a lot.
"Hester, you and Derek, you two..." Jackson came to his senses from the fiancee's identity and took a
deep breath.
His eyes shuttled back and forth between Derek and Hester, slightly losing some sense of propriety.
"We just got engaged!" Derek didn't hesitate at all and told him the truth.
Hester was no longer in the mood to mediate the dispute. She sat quietly at the side, supporting her
head with one hand, and felt sad in silence. She must have done something terrible in her previous life,
so she was tortured by these people today!
"Engaged?" Jackson's heart sank and his eyes wandered among the three people. "Is it the
engagement I understand?"
"Then what else can be explained by engagement?" Derek frowned impatiently and stared at Jackson
coldly.
He had planned to cooperate with the Gu Consortium, but now it seemed that the CEO of the Gu
Consortium had a mental problem.
"Shut up!" Hester couldn't stand it anymore. At this moment, Hester had already had enough. She
looked coldly at Derek and Jackson, not knowing what to do.
If they continued, she was not sure what kind of comments would come out next to reverse her world
view.
"Derek, I don't know why grandpa insisted on our engagement. I was totally confused that night and
didn't realize it at all. Please don't take it too seriously, okay?"
"Okay!" Derek answered calmly, and there was no change on his face. "Although you didn't know it
clearly at that time, our engagement is a fact."
After saying this, he received a glance from Hester and moved his eyes awkwardly.
"Of course, if you want to have a boyfriend, I agree. After all, the identities of the two of us are not in
conflict. I won't interfere with it!"
Hester's serious expression collapsed in an instant. She glanced at Derek with trembling lips, truly
feeling sorry for him. As her else's fiance, he didn't allow others to touch her at ordinary times. How
could he be so generous to admit the existence of her boyfriend?!
She couldn't believe her ears.
"Derek, can you tell me what you are thinking?"
