Chapter 194 Change of Attitude
Ginger’s expression softened. “That’s right. They’ve been doing business abroad, but they haven’t come back yet. But if you want to see them, I can call them and tell them to come back.”
Uncle Smith waved his hand. “There’s no need. I was just thinking about it. Your father and I used to be good brothers who often drank together when we were young.”
The two of them chatted and laughed happily, and Juwan joined them from time to time. They chatted and laughed, while Javen and Cassie felt ignored.
Javen lowered his head and whispered in her ear, “Are you really not unhappy?”
Cassie couldn’t tell how she felt.
“I’m fine.” She smiled reluctantly.
Seeing that Cassie looked uncomfortable, Javen waited for the party to end and left the hotel with her.
Walking outside, Cassie sighed and felt a little depressed.
“I can see that my dad’s attitude towards you has changed.”
Javen’s words made Cassie couldn’t help but laugh. “That’s right, even you can tell, so how could I not?”
Javen stopped to look at him and said seriously, “However, you don’t have to worry. It’s impossible for my dad to suddenly dislike you. He should have encountered something else.”
Of course, Cassie was well aware of these words. She was prepared to go back tonight to ask Uncle Smith for an explanation.
As the two of them were strolling across the bridge, snow suddenly began to fall from the sky.
Cassie was stunned. She had not paid attention to the calendar for a long time. It seemed that the New Year was coming.
Before she could come to her senses, Javen got a bunch of plum blossoms from somewhere. They were not as delicate and beautiful as roses, but they were also particularly tall and straight.
“Javen, don’t tell me you’re going to secretly pluck someone’s plum blossom?”
Cassie’s mouth was full of disdain, but her heart was full of love.
Javen glanced at her indifferently. “The stalls by the bridge sell things. Don’t you see the plum blossoms?”
Cassie looked back and saw that she was indeed standing at a stall selling plum blossoms. She had just been in a daze and her eyes were also staring at the stall.NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
“Truth be told, I don’t like it…” Cassie smiled embarrassedly and sneezed violently.
Before she could even utter the word Plum Blossom, Javen’s murderous gaze was already fixed on her. “You said that you like Plum Blossom very much, right?”
Cassie came to her senses and nodded like a chick pecking at rice. “Yes, I like plum blossoms very much.”
Javen saw Cassie shiver in fear, and he frowned. “Cold?”
Cold?
It was all because his tone made the temperature even colder!
Cassie looked at her clothes, which were not thick enough, and sneezed again. “Not cold.”
“Then what are you shaking for?” Javen’s eyes narrowed. He took off his jacket and draped it over Cassie’s body. “Then, I’ll send you back.”
Cassie smiled gratefully at Javen. “Thank you for your favor, but my legs are numb.”
Javen was speechless.
Javen squatted down and let Cassie lie on his back.
Without walking on her own, Cassie suddenly became more talkative. “Javen, I heard from them that if two people get wet in the snow together, they can go all the way until their hair turns white.”
“The two of them will be drenched in the snow together. I don’t know if they can go all the way or not, but they will go to the hospital together.”
Javen’s cold words made Cassie very dissatisfied. He was really emotionless.
When they got home by car, Uncle Smith was sitting in the living room watching TV. When he saw Cassie coming back, he pretended to be about to leave but was stopped by her.
“Uncle Smith, what is going on?”
Uncle Smith forced a smile. “I’m fine. Cassie Garsia, don’t think too much about it.”
Cassie Garsia… even his form of address had changed.
Since she couldn’t get anything out of him, Cassie decided to investigate it herself.
When Cassie returned to her room, Javen was called into the study by Uncle Smith.
No one knew what Uncle Smith said. However, on the second day, Javen had become much quieter than before.
Seeing that Javen was in a bad mood, Cassie asked, “What’s wrong?”
Javen shook his head and said, “I’m going to the company first. If there’s nothing else, you should go to Blue Group earlier.”
“You mean you want me to go to my company?”
Cassie was astonished. He had been perfectly fine yesterday, so why had he distanced himself from her for some reason today?
Javen didn’t say anything. He pursed his lips and didn’t say a word.
A trace of discomfort inexplicably surged into Cassie’s heart. “Javen, if you have something to say, then just say it. Don’t hide it from me.”
“I’m fine. I still have something to do in the company. I’m leaving now.”
Javen’s back view of his departing figure was broad and desolate.
Cassie gritted her teeth and followed to the Smith Group.
When she arrived at the Smith Group, she found that everything had been cleaned up by Javen. The original desk was occupied by the new design director.
Cassie walked into the office and saw that Javen was working as if nothing had happened. She felt very depressed. “Javen, can you tell me what’s wrong with you?”
Javen raised his head, his eyes full of meaning that Cassie couldn’t understand. “I’m fine, but according to the rules, you shouldn’t stay in the Smith Group anymore.”
Cassie smiled sarcastically. “Then what you told me before when I’m with you, the Smith Group is mine. Is it fake?”
Javen shook his head. “No.”
“Then what do you mean by doing this now?”
Javen sighed. “Then if you want to stay here any longer, I will make a new place for you.”
Before Cassie figured out the cause of the matter, she was unwilling to let it go so easily. She nodded and let Javen clean up.
Javen tidied up the desk furthest away from his desk and used it as an office table. Although it looked more than twice as good as the previous desk, the distance still made people feel repelled.
When it was lunchtime, Javen should have had lunch with her, but she saw Ginger Geller in the office.
It was a familiar scene. Javen was working there while Ginger was sitting on the sofa, waiting for him to get off work.
This time, the two of them did not have too many intimate postures, but Javen’s tacit consent made Cassie feel a sharp pain in her heart.
“Cassie, why are you here?”
Ginger’s voice was full of surprise. As soon as she said that, Cassie seemed to stay out of it.
Cassie didn’t even look at her. “I came to find Javen. It shouldn’t have anything to do with you.”
Hearing this, Ginger covered her mouth and giggled. “Cassie, if you want to have lunch with Javen, forget it. Javen has promised to have lunch with me at noon.”
Cassie couldn’t believe it. She looked into Javen’s eyes and said flatly, “Javen, do you think what she said is true?”
Javen didn’t say anything, but the silence was the best answer.
“Cassie, look, you don’t need to disgrace yourself. Doing that will make things difficult for Javen.”
