“Pick me up?” I glanced in the direction Kimberly was leaving and asked, “Isn’t she coming?”
“She was a troublemaker, wherever she went.”
When it came to Kimberly, Johnathan’s tone was somewhat disdainful.
After a pause, Johnathan said again, “Originally, it was just Reynaldo and me going, I didn’t plan on bringing you along.”

But on the day Reynaldo and Kimberly got off the plane, they were seen by Matthew’s people and even took pictures.
Then he insisted that we bring Kimberly along.
He said, “Whoever comes is a guest, as the host, he should treat us well.”
“So, why has it become taking me instead of taking Kimberly now?”
As a secretary, it was quite normal for them to take me to dinner parties.
But when Johnathan said that, I couldn’t help but feel like I was ‘taking the fall‘ for Kimberly.
Did Reynaldo push me out because he couldn’t bear to see Kimberly?
Johnathan looked at me as if he could see what I was thinking.
He busily said, “Hey, don’t overthink it. We’re taking you, not Kimberly, because that sickly kid will only cause trouble.”
“You are much more sensible and capable than her, take you there, won’t lose face.”

“Stop flattering me, in Reynaldo’s eyes, I am worthless and good for nothing.”
“No, he was deliberately trying to provoke you,” Johnathan said confidently.
And I didn’t want to argue with him about it either.
After all, I knew perfectly well how Reynaldo felt about me.
I asked him, “So Matthew wants to see Kimberly, you guys take me there, make sure nothing bad happens?”
“Definitely not, Matthew likes to look at beautiful women, you are prettier than Kimberly, take you there, Matthew will be even happier.”
I pursed my lips, feeling a bit uncomfortable in my heart.
I asked in a low voice, “What if Matthew gets physical with me?”
“He dared!”
Johnathan angrily said, “We brought you over there, that was already giving him face. If he dares to lay a finger on you, watch me beat him to death.”
I glanced at Johnathan.
The man would boast, if he could control Matthew, he wouldn’t have called Reynaldo.
Seeing the doubtful look in my eyes, he smiled quizzically and said, “You can rest assured, we will definitely not let him bully you, worst case scenario, we won’t do this deal.”
I looked at him and said, “Is this deal important to you?”

Johnathan fell silent for a moment, then nodded and said, “Yes, it’s very important. Matthew’s business is sold overseas. Whether our business and industrial scale can expand to overseas depends on this.”
However, don’t worry, no matter how important the business is, we won’t let him do anything to you.”

The last sentence, Johnathan said very seriously.
I nodded.

Although Johnathan is not serious on weekdays, he is still very loyal in critical moments.
And I still believe in his character, as well as Reynaldo’s.
Reynaldo and Kimberly didn’t know what to do in the room.
Johnathan asked me to change clothes and get ready, then he took me downstairs.

In the evening, the air was much colder than during the day.
I straightened my down jacket and walked towards the car at the door.
Johnathan was smoking in the driver’s seat with the window open. When he saw me coming, he quickly extinguished the cigarette.
I said to him, “It’s okay, you smoke, I can wait outside for a while.”
“Ah, it’s nothing, just half a cigarette, not smoking is fine too.”
Johnathan said, paused, and then looked at me, “Speaking of which, Esmie, didn’t you used to love going to the bar?”
