Chapter 39 How About Two Hundred Thousand a Month?
He frowned slightly and slowly took out his phone, and the moment he saw the contents of WeChat, his knitted eyebrows slowly stretched.
In full view of everyone, he directly replied with the word “Okay” on WeChat.
Everyone looked at each other with disbelief.
After Noah came to the company, he had made a rule for everyone in the company that the use of mobile phones was strictly forbidden during meetings, and he himself was the same.
Even if his mobile phone rang sometimes, he hung up or ignored it.
What was wrong with him today?
Jocelyn’s heart instantly fluttered with joy upon receiving his reply, and she directly sent a voice, “Then I’ll see you at 7pm at Lijing Western Restaurant?”
Her voice, as always, was soft and melodious.
He silently put the phone to his ear and listened carefully.
Then he typed the word “Okay” again.
There Jocelyn sent a voice again, “Then I’ll send you a WeChat when the private room is booked.”
“Okay …” he responded again, and then put the phone into his inside pocket as if nothing had happened, and looked coldly at the dumbfounded crowd, “Continue.”
Only then did the crowd quickly come back to their senses.
The meeting continued.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
But everyone could not help but secretly wonder in their hearts who sent him the message.
How could he make such an exception?
…
At 7pm, Jocelyn walked into the VIP room of the Lijing Western Restaurant on time.
She had put on light make-up, and her hair naturally spread out and hung on both sides of her shoulders, setting off her extra small face.
The white turtleneck jumper and the long white sarong made her look even more gentle and noble, like a snow-white peony flower born on a high place.
She was beautiful, but not easy to touch.
The private room was lit with essential oil candles and the faint smell of roses was soothing.
She took a deep breath of the scented air before moving to the end of the long table covered with a red velvet tasseled tablecloth and sitting down.
The snow-white roses, blooming quietly on the table, put her in a particularly good mood.
Not long after she sat down, he pushed open the door and came in.
His black shirt, long black vintage trench coat, black trousers and black Martin boots set off his temperament in an extraordinarily cold and noble manner, and also set off his figure in a more delightfully long and straight manner.
Every time she looked at him, Jocelyn always had the illusion that he was the long-lost prince of some king.
“Sorry, there was a traffic jam.” Noah said coldly, and then sat down opposite her.
“It’s okay, you’re only five minutes late.” Jocelyn smiled gently, more attracting than the roses on the table.
“What’s the matter?” He asked.
“Let’s order food first.” Jocelyn smiled decently and beautifully and beckoned towards the waiter.
The waiter instantly handed over the menu.
After the two people had ordered, the waiter poured them each a glass of water.
After the waiter left, Jocelyn looked at him cautiously, “Actually, I want to ask you to do me a favour, although it is a bit abrupt, but at the moment only you can help me.”
“What?” He looked at her faintly, his face as cold as ever.
“I want to ask you to play the role of my husband.”
“What?” Noah raised his eyebrows, confused.
“I’m actually married, but I don’t know what my husband looks like, I don’t know what he does, I only know that this person’s name is Noah Mason.”
“The specific situation is very complicated, for a while I can’t tell you clearly. I agreed to marry this person in order to make a certain thing.” Jocelyn explained word by word.
“Then what?”
As soon as Noah’s words left his mouth, Jocelyn told him completely about the day she was revealed by Gloria and about the death of the double she had prepared in advance.
She spoke very carefully, and he listened very carefully, nodding his head from time to time.
When she had finished, he said without thinking, “Okay.”
His agreement was completely unexpected and her heart was more than surprised.
“Really?”
“Yeah.”
“I won’t let you work for nothing, I’ll pay you, several times more than you usually make.”
The man raised his eyebrows lightly and looked into her face, “How much is that?”
“How about two hundred thousand a month?”
“Two hundred thousand?” He was making more than that a minute, and he couldn’t help but feel funny inside.
“How about that?” Jocelyn was full of confidence.
“Okay, but I have one condition.”
“Go ahead.” Jocelyn responded briskly.
“Stop pestering me to pay back the money.”
“But I really feel that I should return that money to you.”
“There’s no taking back what I’ve given away.”
“Fine, if you insist.” Jocelyn nodded helplessly, she really couldn’t understand this person’s brain, why did she have to take all the mistakes on herself?
If she didn’t pay him back, she would make up for what she owed him from somewhere else in time.
“In that case, I’ll transfer you a month’s worth of money in a moment, and we’ll pay monthly, okay?”
“Okay.”
“Here are two books on the basics of medicine, take them back and read them, it’s best if you can memorize them, so that you will not make mistakes.” With that, Jocelyn took out two books on medicine from her LV handbag behind her, got up and put them in front of him.
One was ‘Fundamentals of Medicine’ and the other was ‘Diagnosis of Medicine’.
She then went back to her seat.
“Okay.” With those words, his gaze fell coolly on the two books, and when he saw the word Foundation at the top, he couldn’t help but raise his eyebrows slightly.
“Read these two books first, if there’s anything you don’t understand, you can ask me on WeChat, and I’ll teach you some other things when you’re done.”
“Okay.”
“Make sure you read them carefully, got it?”
“Okay.” He said and casually pushed the two books to the side.
…
After finishing the meal, Jocelyn and Noah both walked out of the restaurant together.
The goose feather-like snow quietly fell amidst the lights, covering the whole city under a snowy white.
The cold wind blew over and Jocelyn couldn’t help but shiver, the tip of her nose was slightly red from the cold, she looked at him with her hands while saying, “Have you driven? If you don’t, I’ll give you a lift.”
“No, my friend is coming to pick me up.” As he spoke, Noah untied the coat he was wearing and draped it over her shoulders, adding, “Get in.”
The jacket carried his body heat instantly dispelled the coldness on her body, and the faint scent of mint perfume mixed with tobacco spread across the tip of her nose.
“No need, I won’t be cold when I get in the car.” Jocelyn raised her hand to take off the jacket.
