Chapter 10 Be a Good Girl and Work with Me

Edward frowned, but he also looked at Jane gently, telling her with his eyes that he would wait for her to walk slowly.

Jane's face was hot. She wasn't being feigned. She always wore flat shoes and the heel never exceeded 5 cm. Also, the heel was always chunky instead of a stiletto.

The shoes in front of her looked good, but they were not only expensive, but also made her feel awkward when she put them on.

She was bashful and walked unsteadily, carrying the LV bag but seeming like she was trying to flee hurriedly while clutching the bag.

Seeing her like this, Edward felt speechless. He approached her, stretched out his hand into a bend, and motioned to her, "Walk with me arm in arm."

"Well, isn't this bad?" Jane was tired of dealing with him while paying attention to walking, "It won't be necessary. I can... Ah!"

Before she finished, Edward had already held her hand, let her lean beside him, and then taken her forward.

Jane found nothing to say for a moment, while Edward started to talk, "If you walk that way, it would be next year when we get there!"

"Isn't it because you bought these high heels?" Jane had struggled whether she should thank him or not, but all her gratitude had flown away after he said that.

"Is it wrong for me to choose these high heels that are perfect on you? Didn't they make you look more beautiful and generous?"

Edward frowned in confusion. It was fair to say that this pair of shoes matched her dress perfectly, and could make her look more beautiful – Surely such beauty was for Old Master Pike to see, so that he would be satisfied and stop pushing Edward.

"Of course you are wrong." Jane was also very serious. She pointed to her feet in the high heels, and then looked into his black eyes.

"You think it's appropriate for me, but the truth is I'm always wearing flat shoes, which you don't know. Also, there are many things that you may think are proper but they are not actually. The only standard to judge if it fits me well is up to me – but you, it didn't even occur to you to ask me about that."

"..." After hearing what she had said, even Edward, who was always eloquent, lost his words to refute her.

Sean followed them behind and heard their conversation. He couldn't help but grin as he covered his mouth. Finally, he met someone who dared retort his boss, which was very rear. And it was more rear for him to see that his boss seemed to be unable to refute her.

"But I still want to thank you. You are doing this for my own good, and I'll bear your kindness in mind." Jane could tell Edward was embarrassed at that time, and she was afraid that she might have gone too far, so she covered for him immediately.

Edward just looked at her, seeming like he wanted to say something. But in the end, he only held her hand to the elevator directly, and he obviously sped up.

Jane had not adapted to the shoes yet, so she called him constantly, "Can we walk slowly? Just slow our pace."

"Grandpa's going to get angry if we get there later." He said with a low voice.

Jane looked up at him. Seeing the anger in his face, she knew that "Grandpa" was just an excuse. He just wanted to make her uncomfortable, in retaliation for her saying that he did not ask her if it was appropriate for her.

"You cheapskate!" Jane endured the discomfort on her feet. Feeling disconsolate, she wanted to get rid of his hand.

But the next second, his low voice sounded, "I told grandpa that you and I are in love and have applied for the certificate, so you'd better work with me. Anyone around us may be sent by grandpa to observe our behavior, and then they will go back to report to grandpa."

What he meant was clear, which was Jane should put her hand in his arm.

Jane pouted her mouth, but she couldn't help but give up struggling.

After they went into the special elevator and the door closed, Jane hurried to free herself from his hand. She'd rather stand against the wall than stand with him.

Edward knew she was mad at him as well. Now that they didn't like each other, perhaps they should break up. Edward had already thought of this. But given this woman was Stephen's sister, he finally chose to continue this relationship temporarily.

"Well, I'll ask you about that in the future." Seeing that she was wearing an indifferent expression all the time, Edward took the advantage that they were alone here and gave in.

He had never expected that one day he would yield to a woman he didn't even like.

He despised himself inwardly, determined to forget this after today.

Jane looked at him in surprise after she heard him say this softly. At this time, the elevator stopped and the door opened.

Before she realized what she should do next, Edward had already taken her hand and walked out of the elevator. He then asked the bodyguards in suits who were standing outside, "Where is grandpa?"

"Boss, Miss Sidney, this way, please." Old Master Pike's assistant, Jacob, just came from not far. It seemed that Old Master Pike had waited for them at the table for a while.

Edward nodded and took a look at Jane. Jane rushed over and took the initiative to hold his arm. Since he had given in, she had no reason not to cooperate with him to play the show.

Sensing that she approached him and held his hand, Edward raised his corner of the mouth slightly and held her hand as well.

Her hand was a little cold, and he felt clear that she trembled slightly for a second. However, she did not break free but continued to walk with him.

Edward tried to walk more slowly so that Jane could keep up with his footsteps.

People around them were jealous to see the two of them walking intimately. One was beautiful and white-skinned, and the other was tall and handsome.

Edward took Jane into the SVIP room called Perfect couple. When they stepped into the door, he whispered to remind her, "If grandpa asks you about how we know each other, you can tell him that we have met each other for a while, and we keep it as a secret temporally. Now..."

"If he asks me more about you, what am I going to say?" Jane asked back, "I don't know much about you. Will I embarrass you if I make big trouble?"

Edward was stunned to hear her words. She had taken both him and herself into consideration, neither obeying him all the time when they were together nor feeling confused under such an occasion. Instead, she had her thinking and opinions upon all of this, which was valuable.

"Besides, I'm a teacher, and I don't want to lie to an old man." Jane looked at him with her bright eyes full of wisdom.

"Appropriate white lies are needed," Edward added immediately, for fear that she would be too straight and too honest.

Sitting on the high-end sofa inside the room, Old Master Pike frowned as he looked at the big pad in his bodyguard's hand.

What were they whispering at the door?

Old Master Pike's face was serious. Seeing his expression, Jacob beckoned hastily and was about to invite them in. However, Old Master Pike waved his hand, so Jacob retreated aside.

Jane was worried that they had kept Old Master Pike waiting for too long, so she reminded Edward, "Hurry up, Grandpa Pike must have waited for us for a long time."

"Just call him grandpa." Edward held her hand and walked quickly toward the living room.

"... Okay." Jane agreed in a low voice. Although she didn't know what was expecting her ahead, she had a feeling that trouble might come.
