Chapter 527 Invaded by Jack's thoughts  *Ring Ring*

Shuang yawned and drowsily woke up from her sleep. She dazedly grabbed her phone and saw her phone ringing with a call.

"What?" She asked her assistant as she yawned.

"Mam, when will you be here!? The client will be coming here anytime!" She cried.

She yawned again. "Coming…Geez, you get so worried."

She gasped. "Mam, you are just waking up!? When will you brush your teeth? When will you bathe? When will you dress up and when will you leave? Oh no! We have lost this deal! The client will get super angry," she sobbed.

Shuang's mouth heavily twitched. Her panicky assistant was one of a kind. She was excellent in her job but was number one when it came to taking stress.

"Geez, will you stop worrying already? I am already on my way."

"On your way to the bathroom! Not the office!" She sobbed. "Mam, aren't you afraid lightning will strike you for troubling your assistant so much?"

"Lightning won't strike me because I will strike back at the lightning ten folds," she smirked.

"..."

"Stop crying already. I will be there. Don't worry."

She hung up and quickly got showered and dressed at a lightning speed. Shuang could get lazy all she wanted, but she could also get things done at a fast pace if she wanted to.

She had no time for breakfast, so she simply ran out of her house just like that but saw a car parked a few steps away from her door.

She slowed down her steps and paused.

Jack raised his head and his bluish-grey eyes met hers with a vigor. "Morning."

He was the true definition of a person who was happy and merry on a sunny day.

Shuang stared at him and folded her arms. "Jack."

"Hop in. You must be getting late and your assistant must be praying to God so hard," he chuckled. "Have some mercy on her."

She stepped into his car and already found two delicious sandwiches waiting for her on her seat. She grabbed it and suspiciously glanced at him. "Don't you know me too well now?"

Jack shrugged. "You have a very particular lifestyle. I knew you would head straight like that for the meeting. How many times have I told you not to go with an empty stomach?"

Shuang coughed.

"I bet you would have worked until lunch hour and remained hungry like that. And then you wonder why you are getting thin?"

"Driving. Focus on driving," she nudged him with her elbow.

"Don't get too salty because I hit your nerve~"

She glared at him. "Are you too free today?"

Jack smiled. "I am on a holiday today. I was wondering what to do with it and then I was like why do I need to think? I know Shuang would definitely need me for her breakfast and driving to her company."

Her mouth twitched.

"Then perhaps I might get a chance to play free games in her office."

She narrowed her eyes and smirked. "I will make you empty your pockets."

"How mean. Here, I am being your chauffeur, and I cannot even get a small leeway?" Jack shook his head, hurt and disappointed.

She pinched his cheek hard. "Yeah, yeah. Nice acting over there."

He grinned.

Jack continued driving while Shuang looked outside the window as she took a bite of her sandwich. The cheese and chicken melted in her mouth, and she couldn't help but ask, "You made this, not bought from a store."

Jack simply smiled but said nothing.

Getting no response, Shuang stared outside the window again and thought back to the time of Zizi and Yunru's wedding day when Jack had asked her out.

It was two weeks after that, but Shuang hadn't given her response, nor did Jack had asked for one until now.

For two weeks now, she slept late at night and woke up late in the morning just like today. All because of a single man - Jack Si.

Ever since he had kissed her, he had completely invaded her thoughts and heart. She would constantly think of him as a romantic partner rather than just a friend. She would roll on her bed, twisting and turning, contemplating about their relationship - What they had now and what they would have if she accepted to be his girlfriend.

It was a comfortable space with Jack. It was nice and enjoyable being friends with him. By now, she knew Jack well enough to say with confidence that he would be a great boyfriend.

Sure.

He would be a great boyfriend. There was no doubt about it.

But what about her? Would she be a great girlfriend?

She had hurt Yunru in the past. Terribly and horribly. She felt pathetic for using him to hide her feelings for Xiaosi for seven years. She was disgusted by herself.

Honestly, it would have been better if he had broken his friendship with me. 

Yet, Yunru was the same as ever.

Shuang felt that she deserved nothing. After hurting such a good man who only cared for her all these years, there was now Jack. In a way, Yunru and Jack's trajectory was following the same path.

He became a good friend of hers just like Yunru when they got into a relationship.

And now after being such a failure as a girlfriend for Yunru, could she handle a second relationship maturely and wisely? Could she do this without hurting Jack this time?

The worry gnawed at her heart like crazy so much so that it made her lose her sleep. 

The car stopped in front of her company, and Shuang snapped out of her daze.

"We reached already?"

Jack smiled. "Time seems to fly when you enjoy someone's company. To me, it felt like I just started out from your house."

She cleared her throat.

"Let's go," she said as she stuffed the last piece of sandwich into her mouth, "Thank you for the sandwich. It was delicious."

She was about to step out when Jack held her arm back. She turned and blinked. "What?"
