Chapter 255 - The Weather Changed

When Jaquan arrived at the restaurant, Arabella was already there. Usually, she would be late. But this time, Jaquan did not expect her to come so early, so he was quite surprised.

"Why are you here so early?" He asked.

Arabella was slightly disappointed when she saw that Jaquan didn't bring her anything. But she quickly said as if nothing had happened, "I've been busy for a few days, and have one day off today. So I want to come out early to feel the outside world."

The implication was that, 'Don't think too much. I didn't come here so early for you. Because I wanted to breathe the fresh air, I came out earlier and wait for you in passing.'

Jaquan didn't care about this. They were too familiar with each other. He knew what Arabella would say, so he didn't argue with her. He just said, "Order whatever you want."

Arabella was a little unhappy, but she suppressed it. She forced a smile and said, "Then I'll start!"

Jaquan was more accustomed to her temper as Miss Arabella. Seeing that she suppressed herself and didn't say what she wanted, he thought maybe Arabella also wanted to change herself and leave a good impression on him.

But he liked the way she was before.

"I guess you either have an emotional affair, or have sex with other women."

He suddenly recalled what Randy had said to him

Jaquan couldn't help but laugh. How could that be possible?

Perhaps he was too tired from work recently to think about those things.

After ordering the dishes, Arabella changed the topic and looked very upset. "The recent advertisements made by the company are too bad. Sometimes, there's something wrong with the messages of the advertisement. While sometimes, the celebrities they invited act like a diva."

After she came back from abroad, she gradually took over the family business. The Peck family had been involved in many industries, and not all of them could help the Pecks to earn a lot of money. Later, they could only make some achievements in the advertising industry. Afterwards, all the employees were sent to learn the advertising. Thus, the Peck family almost monopolized the advertising industry.

Even the Scavo Corp would need their help to shoot the videos about the cause of the public good. It was simple to imagine how promising the Peck family was in advertising. Arabella probably wanted to show that she was a woman devoted to her work after returning, but she forgot one thing. When Jaquan entered the company, he would be an incomparably professional lawyer. But once he walked out of the company, he would start to enjoy his life. He didn't like to discuss the business when eating.

He knew about Arabella, but Arabella didn't seem to know him. Thus, the next topics were all about her advertisement and his lawsuits, for example, the case that had just been closed last week.

"He won the lawsuit, and why did he commit suicide?" Arabella had gathered much information about the case. Otherwise, she couldn't have asked such a detailed question. "Fortunately, he survived."

Jaquan could tell that she wanted to care about him, but the way she cared about him was truly unacceptable. Occasionally, he would nod and smiled slightly to show that he was listening. However, he couldn't help but think in his heart, 'what's wrong with us?'

Were they too familiar with each other so that they had nothing to talk?

However, Armando and Janessa were more close to him. But Jaquan never felt embarrassed when staying with them, even if they did not speak to each other. What was wrong with Arabella and him?

As Arabella drank wine, she also felt the awkward atmosphere. She had tried to put forward some topics with great enthusiasm, but Jaquan seemed not to care about it at all. She was a little depressed. In the past, it was Jaquan who tried desperately to think about some topics to chat with her. But now, everything had changed. Thinking of the past, she couldn't help but look cold. Well, she didn't want to talk anymore.

Jaquan really liked such a quiet atmosphere, so he ate for a while. Someone sent a message on WeChat. He clicked and glanced at it. Everything was fine in the company. When he wanted to put the phone down, he accidentally saw a photo posted by Collin.

There were six delicious dishes on a square mahogany table, which were all home style. He had eaten them and they tasted very good. Three bowls of rice were beside them. On the photo, a woman was placing chopsticks. Her hands were fair and slender, but Jaquan knew that the woman was very powerful. She had once punched his mouth and made it bleed.

Some friends commented below.

"Is this an official announcement that you are lovers? Congratulations!"

"Wish you a happy life!"

"I'm just curious about why there are three bowls of rice. Who else is there?"

"Hey, Doctor Mueller. Why don't you even say anything to us?"

"We had a promise that we would be single forever. But you didn't keep your word and have a girlfriend!"

"Where are you? Why haven't I seen this place before? Where is your girlfriend from?"

"Quickly bring your friend over. Let's have a gathering."

Seeing that Jaquan was in a daze, Arabella asked, "What are you looking at?"

Jaquan came back to his senses and said, "Nothing."

He put away his phone and remembered the expression on Collin's face when he answered the phone. He felt a little irritated.

That bastard actually went to see Emma without telling anyone!

He forgot that Collin had invited him before Collin left, but he refused.

When Jaquan thought that Stony might happily hug Collin and act coquettishly in front of him when he went to see Emma, Jaquan would feel upset. He felt as if his son had recognized another man as his father. He took a sip of red wine and asked, "Have you finished yet?"

"Yes." Arabella could tell that Jaquan was in a bad mood.

When they came out of the restaurant, the sky was overcast and it was likely to rain. Arabella thought they might not go shopping. She said, "What about next?"

Jaquan didn't know what to do next. They saw a movie theater, so he pointed to it and said, "Let's go to the movies."

Arabella nodded happily, "Alright. I haven't seen the movies for a long time."

Jaquan went to buy popcorn and bubble tea. He knew what Arabella liked. As for Arabella, she chose a comedy. After getting the tickets, they waited for a moment and entered the movie hall.

Because it was weekend, there were many couples in the theater, and there was almost no empty seat.

After Jaquan and Arabella sat down, a few more couples came and sat beside them. Before the movie started, young boys and girls around them took advantage of the darkness and began to kiss. Jaquan frowned. He clearly felt that Arabella was stiff. Then, she took a sip of the bubble tea and look down at her phone.

Jaquan tilted his head to look at Arabella. The screen light of her phone happened to shine on her face, which made her face turn pink and look beautiful.

He should have kissed her at this moment.

However, for some reason, his mind was filled with images of Emma kissing him. It was a slight and casual kiss, and Emma kissed him because she mistook him. But that kiss was quite unforgettable.

As he hesitated, the movie began. Arabella glanced at him. Jaquan was very handsome, and he had soulful eyes. When he wore glasses, he would look much more charming. Now, he stared at the screen and the light illuminated his face. His side face was hid in the darkness. Only his lips and chin could be seen clearly.

Arabella stared at his lips for a while, and then turned away.. She thought that Jaquan would kiss her, and she was even prepared how to refuse him.
