Chapter 5 The Cold Jim

From now on, Eric Jian would try every means to deal with him. Although Francis knew that no matter how polite Linda was to Eric, Eric would not show mercy to her, he still hoped that she would not provoke him. In that case, she would be less dangerous.

"But...".

"Do whatever Mr. Francis says. Go back to your seat...".

Of course, Jim knew what was on Francis' mind. He was afraid that this girl might not know how keep a low profile, and that she might bring trouble and disaster to Francis in the future.

"Oh!"

Reluctantly, she darted a look at Jim, answered yes and sat down in front of her desk. Although Eric's words were annoying, Francis was right. After all, he was Francis's uncle. Besides, he asked Francis to change his bodyguards for the sake of Francis. If she could bear it, she'd better not cause any trouble for him.

Of course, she didn't know what Eric meant. She would do anything for the sake of Francis!

Seeing that Linda sat down reluctantly, Francis laughed and shook his head. She really didn't know how to hide her feelings. When she went through the documents in front of her again, an imperceptible resentment and unwillingness flashed across his gentle eyes.

He would never forget how his parents died miserably in his whole life. As for the person behind it, he, Francis, would definitely let him show his fox tail slowly, and make him lose his reputation and pay for his parents' lives.

Alas!

Feeling bored, Linda propped her chin with her hands and looked at the busy Francis. Wouldn't he be tired? Those documents seemed to be quite a lot. She had been sitting here for a whole day, but those documents were still so high that her buttocks were painful.

It seemed that Francis had heard the complaint in Linda's heart. He chuckled, but didn't stop his work.

"Linda, you have sighed a lot. If you are bored, you can go out for a walk. Anyway, you are going to get off work soon...".

Francis' sweet voice cheered her up.

"No, actually I'm not bored. Mr. Francis, aren't you tired? "

She really wanted to say that while the boss was busy with so much work alone, what is the staff doing? but she couldn't say that anyway. It was too rude, wasn't it?

"If I get used to it, I won't be tired. I like to do everything myself.".

His indifferent tone made her heart ache. She could hear him because...he had no one to trust? That's why she made herself so tired.

According to the information Kevin Xia gave her, Francis' parents died in an accident when he was ten years old, and his only family was his uncle, Eric. He had been his guardian for eight years, and didn't return the position of CEO to him until he was eighteen years old.

As a matter of fact, Eric didn't want to monopolize the family business. Of course, Linda didn't know that. If it weren't for the will of Francis's parents, how could Eric be willing to give up YC Company...

Looking at the busy Francis in front of her, she didn't know what to say. He was still gentle and considerate as usual, but somehow she felt that it was so difficult to get close to him at this time. Perhaps she was oversensitive.

"Linda, you can get off work now. Jim will be back soon. You must be tired today. Be careful on the way."

Francis raised his head from the pile of documents and smiled at Linda. His charming smile made Linda's restless heart beat faster again.

"No, No. I didn't do anything today. I'm leaving now. Mr. Francis, it's time for you to have a rest. See you tomorrow! "

Linda ran into the elevator as fast as she could and took a deep breath. What should she do? As long as she saw the smile on Francis' face, she was so nervous that she almost burst out! What a loser!

She knocked hard on her disordered chest. She really doubted that she would die of suffocation in the gentle eyes of Francis one day.

The elevator stopped on the first floor. Linda patted her hot face and walked out of the elevator with a heartless smile. At the same time, a touch of eye-catching pink brushed past her and entered the elevator.

However, her side face had already amazed Linda. The pink knee length dress matched with a golden wavy hair, white and red skin, and the slender oval face showed a trace of pity and tenderness. What a delicate beauty! It seemed that Linda could not learn to be so gentle like her in her whole life...

"Linda!"

The cold voice pulled Linda's thoughts back in an instant. She looked at the unhappy face of Jim in front of her and muttered in her heart, 'did I offend the cold instructor again?'?

When she was about to listen to him carefully, she suddenly remembered that she was off duty. Since she was off duty, why did she still listen to him here? So Linda said with a cheeky grin.

"What's wrong, Mr. Jim? I'm off duty now. Let's talk about it tomorrow!"

He had known that she was not such a compliant girl, but seeing her change so quickly, he still couldn't accept it.

Seeing that Linda was about to run away, Jim grabbed her wrist. Subconsciously, she wanted to fight back, but she remembered that Hess was her boss after all. Although she was off duty, if she irritated him, she might not suffer a good result.

"What are you doing? Don't get it physical. Let's have a talk..."

Linda didn't fight back, but to Jim's surprise, he thought she was just good at martial arts. If she was impulsive, she would be easily irritated and do things on impulse.

It seemed that he underestimated her. Was her careless appearance just her disguise? If that was the case, she had to be on guard against her background.

"Come with me. I have something to tell you!"

Letting go of her, Jim walked straight out, as if he was sure that she would follow him. She made a face at his back with dissatisfaction, and followed him.

Linda had no choice. Jim was Francis' personal butler and assistant. If she wanted to capture Francis, he had to conquer Jim first. But obviously, he seemed to be hostile to her. . It would be better to take this opportunity to find out what reason he was on guard against her. Her information and background were perfectly flawless.

Seeing that he stopped, Linda stopped in a hurry and looked around. She praised him in her heart that Jim was really good at finding a place. If people who didn't know the reason saw them, they would think that they were talking about love.

"Linda, I know you approached Francis with a purpose!"

Linda's beautiful eyes widened when she heard what he said. Although she approached Francis with a purpose, she could tell that his purpose was a little different from hers.

Was it because her acting skill was so bad that she didn't know what kind of person she was? No way. Since that's the case, then let's be frank. Anyway, it's not a shameful thing that she likes Francis.

"Of course I have a purpose. It's written on the information. I'm Mr. Francis's ultimate fan, so I want to be his bodyguard. The purpose is obvious. I naturally hope to be with him forever. Of course, this is just my personal dream...".

Jim didn't expect that Linda would say so frankly why she approached Francis. But when he saw her beautiful eyes staring at him, he inexplicably felt that she really didn't hide herself and all her thoughts would be written on her face.

"You know that's not what I mean. No matter who you are, if you dare to cause any harm to Mr. Francis, I will never let you go...".

Linda didn't get angry at the questioning and unfriendly warning of Jim. After all, she could see that he was really loyal to Francis. As long as it was for the good of Francis, she would treat him as her best friend.

She had always been so simple. Love was love, hate was hate. True was true, false was false. That was why her brother sent her abroad for training. But after more than 10 years of training, she had not changed at all. She was still her. She did not want to change herself because of the complexity of the world.

The smile on her face disappeared. Linda put down her long hair that had been tied up for a day, and her red hair slid down like flames. She looked more charming in her black business suit.

"I know you don't believe me, and maybe Francis doesn't believe me either. It doesn't matter. I did hide something from you, but my purpose of approaching Francis is just like what I said just now. I don't want anyone to hurt him, so you can try to believe me. Under your watch, what outrageous thing can I do?"

Francis was right. Linda had the purest eyes in the world. Anyone who tried to hurt her would feel sorry for her if they were stared by her eyes.

How could there be a girl like Linda in the world? She looked valiant and heroic with her long hair rolled up, capable and steady, but she was delicate and beautiful with her long hair hanging down.

She looked independent and steady, but he would always do something childish. Sometimes she was petite and pitiful, but she was strong enough to make people unable to look down upon her.

Avoiding the firm and clear eyes of Linda, Jim said coldly.

"You'd better do this. If Mr. Francis was hurt because of you, I will kill you immediately no matter it is your fault or not. You'd better believe that I will do it. I can do anything for him..."
