Chapter 60: Falling Hard; Again
The Ceo’s Ex-Wife Can’t Escape
Chapter 60: Falling Hard; Again Jackson stared Airina’s number with a beam on his face. He then pressed it to call and lifting his head towards the Company he was in front of – Halton Company. It was past 6 in evening so she must still be here, if she was not then maybe she has returned home.
Airina took a little time before she slid the answer button, uncertainly asking.
[“What is the problem?”]
Jackson grinned when he heard her voice, “Are you still in the company?”
Airina frowned, giving the rest of the flowers in her hands towards everyone she sees in the company while going out. Daniel didn’t stop giving flowers thinking that she was joking but Airina felt offended – how could someone old as Daniel think her warning to be a joke?
[“I am on my out, why?”]
Jackson walked back and forth, “I am outside waiting for you. Are you still in the elevator?”Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
Airina, who had just given the last flower to the female employee who widely grinned at her, stopped in her tracks upon hearing what he had just stated. Thus, suspiciously, she tiptoed towards the entrance of the Company and tried to search for him. Alas, he was across the street waiting for her.
It seemed that he was not with his assistant this time. Jena, her assistant was told to get home early so she was also alone while her driver whom she said to just accompany his family was not on the sight, too.
As for herself who didn’t use her car, she wanted to call an uber. But now that Jackson is here, is that still doable?
Slowly, she headed out eyeing Jackson who fortuitously lifted his head and saw her. He waved his arms at her, motioning to end the call. Thus, without her not even asking, he hurriedly crossed the street and smiled at her.
“How was work today?”
She blinked her eyes, still surprised in this kind of treatment, “… Fine.”
He nodded his head, “Let’s go, I have cooked you a noodle. Your favorite?”
Airina’s mouth cracked a light smile, “What kind of?”
“Veggies and meaty steak?” Jackson opened the car to the passenger’s seat, giving her the queen-like treatment.
As soon as she went in, he ran towards the driver’s seat and begun the car.
Airina responded rather late, “… Sounds good.”
Previous to start driving, Jackson grabbed something from the back and gave it to her.
Airina frowned, looking at the bouquet of bubbles with lamps inside of it. They have different colors making them look colorful stunning, and in the middle was a small, crocheted sunflowers, lit up with pink, blue, and yellow small lamps in order.
“… You,” she spoke, “Wh, why…”
Jackson smiled, “I noticed that when you watered your flower back in your small garden, your face seemed to get redder. I felt like you have allergy, so I bought you an alternative of flower. I hope you like it.”
“… You saw that?”
“Yes, I am quite observant if I have to boast.” He laughed and started driving.
Airina was stunned. She didn’t even ask him or inform him about this. But he knew and concluded with just a simple observation? He was that keen to details?
“You…”
“Feeling happy and want to thank me?”
Airina glanced at him, pursing her lips shyly. He then pulled over to the side, pointing at his right cheek and leaning forward.
“If you were, why don’t you kiss me? Just on the cheek? Hmm?” he teased playfully.
Airina hmphed, “… Just focus on driving, I’m hungry.”
Without further tease and ado, he drove fast while Airina stole peeks at him. She was happy, no, more than that. Albeit that this was just a small bouquet, she still liked it altogether – the lamps, the design, and even the crocheted sunflowers.
Focused on the flower, she didn’t know she was falling hard to Jackson. Again.
He didn’t have to do this thing for her. Giving her gifts and whatnot won’t make that much difference, won’t it? Besides, how could he waver her like this without showing much in his end?
Airina peeked to his face; the shadow cast to his lashes, his nose pouring handsomeness and his face exuding gentlemanliness as it oozed with sweetness.
“Did you wait for me only because you wanted to cook for me?”
Jackson lightly smiled, “Yes. Eating is essential and for people like you, who’re busy with their work may forget to eat every day.”
She let out a soft breath. “What if I don’t eat what you cooked for me?”
“Impossible. You always emptied your bowl whenever I cook for you.”
She rolled her eyes, “You’re thinking too much, I was just hungry.”
He smirked teasingly, “Is that so?”
Airina pursed her lips, feeling annoyed. “Won’t you just focus on driving? I’m so pissed.”
Jackson nodded his head, “I’m sorry, I will focus on driving now.”
As Airina looked away, her lips part into a smile, in joy that he actually believed her. How could he be so sweet?
