She should be afraid of him, right? He was a man who could easily grasp her pain and embarra**ment. His words could easily knock her into hell.
However, why did she feel out of control when he was so close to her and when he was breathing in her ear?
This man was simply too much for her. Even if he called her
‘sis’, in the end, she was only a pawn in his hand. She was a chess piece for entertainment in his spare time!
Jason, on the other hand, looked down and picked up the picture frame on the bedside table. He looked at the person in the picture-those apricot eyes were looking ahead while the corners of her lips were curling upwards, smiling lightly.
Her beautiful face made people feel some sort of comfortable peace and elegance.
It was as if he had acquired something he never thought of before.
“Sis,” Jason muttered softly as he ran his fingers over the lips of the person in the frame. Then, as if unable to restrain himself, he kissed the lips in the picture.
Just now… If it had not been for the stiffness of her body, if it had not been for the flicker of fear in her face, he might indeed have kissed her.
He, however, chose to suppress his desires.
Why was that? Was it because it scared her?
He had already scared her at the rented house today, so he could not bear to scare her a second time.
He gently closed his eyes, and a smile faintly emerged at the corners of his lips.
Grace thought she might not be able to sleep at all on her first night in the house, but actually, she slept so well that she feared she would sleep forever.
Maybe it was because so many things had happened that day that she was so exhausted. Perhaps she did not have the energy to do anything else.
Grace looked at the time on her phone. It was five o’clock in the morning.
She needed to be at the Sanitation Service Center by six.
Grace hurriedly changed her clothes and went into the bathroom for a quick wash.
When she came out, she found Jason sitting on the dresser in her room, playing with her mobile phone.
“Is Sis going to work?” He looked at her.
“Yes,” Grace replied, taking her phone out of his hand and putting it in her bag. She then picked it up and wanted to leave.
“Let’s have breakfast together.” He clasped her wrist.
“I’ll be late for work.” She was in a hurry.
He smiled. “If I say Sis will be on time, then Sis will be on time!”
She gasped.
They reached the dining room downstairs where Grace was surprised to find that breakfast was already served.
It was only a little past five o’ clock. No average family would make breakfast so early.
“From now on, breakfast will be ready according to your working hours. Sis must eat breakfast before going to work,” Jason said and led Grace to the table before gently pressing her shoulders to get her to sit down.
Grace obediently sat down and looked at the breakfast on the table. There was a wide variety of Chinese and Western dishes. At last, she drank a gla** of milk, ate a bowl of porridge, as well as some pastries.
This breakfast was much sumptuous than the simple two-dollar steamed bun she usually bought in the morning.
It also made her realize that she was really and actually staying in the Reed Residence instead of her small rented house.
“I’ll ask my driver to drive Sis to the Sanitation Service Center later,” Jason said.
“It’s all right. I’ll take the bus,” Grace said quickly.
“It’s not anywhere near to your Sanitation Service L
you take the bus, you have to make two transfers. Aren’t you afraid you’ll be late?” He looked at her casually, as if he was confident with everything.
Grace was dumbstruck.
After breakfast, the Reed family’s driver drove Grace to the Sanitation Service Center in a silver Maybach.
Sitting in the car, Grace was amused. She had the cheapest job, but to drive her to work in such an expensive car seemed like an irony.
Grace told the driver to park 500 meters away from the Sanitation Service Center so that she could get out of the car and walk the remaining way there. If the driver really sent her to the entrance and she was seen by her colleagues, it would probably set off another rumor.
Inside the dressing room, she changed into her work clothes. Although she had applied the back of her left hand with ointment, it was still painful. She was even struggling with simple movements.
Having changed into her work clothes and taken her tools, Grace, as usual, swept the road that was her and Claire Watts’s responsibility. However, Claire Watts noticed that Grace’s hand was a bit awkward. She could not help asking,
“What happened to your hand?”
“Nothing. It just got hit by something. I hurt the back of my hand a little, but only a little,” Grace said.
Claire Watts said, “Then sweep slowly today. Don’t use your hand too much. I can sweep more.”
“Thank you, Claire Watts,” Grace said gratefully. After partnering up with Claire Watts, Claire Watts had helped her a lot. Before coming to work today, Grace had been worried that her hand injury would slow down their work today.
“Don’t mention it. These two roads are swept by you and me. If I get tired one day, you can sweep more for me,” Claire Watts said.
The two of them headed back to the Sanitation Service Center canteen around noon for lunch.
In the canteen, someone was talking about the influencer’s live stream on Jason last night.
Normally, any content that recorded Jason’s full face would have disappeared from the internet long ago, but this time, although the influencer had already deleted the live stream, someone managed to capture Jason’s scene in the video and spread it everywhere.
Strangely enough, these videos had not been deleted even until now. So many people finally saw what Emerald City’s Young Master Reed looked like.
Many people were marveling at Jason’s looks. Although there were some comments about his good looks already floating around on the internet, people only realized that his looks were not good but excellent when they saw proof of it.
Many female netizens were saying that they want to apply for a job in the Reed Group. Even if they were only working as a clerk, they would be happy even if they could see him once in a while.
“Jason’s scarf and gloves last night look really special. They look a bit old, though. If someone else wears them, they’ll look like they’ve been wearing them for years, but when he wears them, it’s somewhat special.”
“No one has been able to find out which brand the scarf and gloves are from. Some say they are handmade customized items from a big brand.”
Some of Grace’s colleagues were talking about it, and she could only listen helplessly. She did not know how her colleagues would feel if they found out that she was the one who made them.
However, after Claire Watts saw Jason’s scarf and gloves, she could not help but mutter, “These gloves look like the ones Grace made before.”
