Chapter 76: Chapter 76

Their president Leo Young was a powerful business emperor at work, but he was a bit of silly when it came to making girls happy.

The first step was to not ask the driver or any helpers to be around. Just walked around with each other slowly, chatting and improving their relationship. So Leo Young chased away the driver and assistant, and held Barbara Jones' hand for a walk.

However, he didn't know what to say."Did you like it?" Leo Young asked.

Leo Young's tone was filled with unspeakable caution. If Barbara Jones said that she didn't like this, he wouldn't know how to make her happy.

Barbara Jones nodded, "you said that it's a place that all girls like. I'm a girl, so of course I like it."

After saying this, she even gave him a sincere smile, expressing her satisfaction.

"That's great." Leo Young let out another light sign, but he understood that Barbara Jones's smile was not as sincere as it used to be.Then, he became silent once again, held Barbara Jones's hand and walked forward slowly.

"Will it be boring for you to go shopping with me?"

Since Leo Young did not take the initiative to chat with her, Barbara Jones could only find a topic to talk.

"Nope." He answered simply. If he was bored, he wouldn't have asked her to go shopping with him.

Leo Young's answer, forcefully stopped the topic of conversation once again. Barbara Jones sighed in her heart. What a cold and indifferent CEO.

Barbara Jones touched her head, trying hard to find another topic. After thinking for a while, she was unable to find a suitable one, so they just walked around quietly.

After walking for a while, they arrived at the most famous street for its delicious food in Barcelona. Barbara Jones held Leo Young's hand and said, "how about taking a look at this street?"

Leo Young nodded. There were a lot of people over the weekend, and the entire street was full of people. Every stall was packed to the brim with people lining up to buy things.

Smelling the fragrance of the food, Barbara Jones became a little hungry. She really wanted to eat the fried squid, and then she pulled Leo Young along to stand at the back of the line. She introduced this to him earnestly, "the fried squid is really delicious, and I promise that you will love them if you have a try."

Leo Young was obsessed with cleanliness. He would never eat anything that was not made by his cook, let alone something that sold on the street.

Barbara Jones only smelled the fragrance, but he smelt the poisonous gas.There were people hanging around, and these stalls were just on both sides of the aisle. Dust and germs were everywhere, so how could he eat them?

However, seeing that Barbara Jones was so happy, Leo Young didn't want to disappoint her. Since she wanted to eat, he would risk it all to accompany her.

After lining up for a few minutes, Barbara Jones finally bought four skewers of squids. She gave one of them to Leo Young first, "have a try. This is my treat."

Leo Young took the skewer, but did not eat it. Barbara Jones picked it up and took a bite, then nodded with all her might, and praised, "it's really delicious."

Leo Young endured the rejection in his heart and also took a bite. The taste was not bad, but he was still unable to endure it. For him, it was as if he had eaten a mouthful of bacteria. Although he was repulsed, Leo Young did not show it.

Looking at the way he was eating, Barbara Jones couldn't help but sigh again. This man was so elegant that even if he ate at a roadside stall, he was still elegant as if he was eating bird's—nest gruel.

Seeing how elegant he was, and how she ate like a greedy child, would they be able to live their life well? Just as she was thinking, Leo Young suddenly extended his hand out, and used his rough thumb wiped the corner of her lips gently, "your mouth is full of oil."

"Then will you dislike me?" Not only did Barbara Jones not realize how ugly she was, but also even asked Leo Young shamelessly.

"Nope." Leo Young replied simply with one word again. However, his heart was not as calm as he behaved. He even wanted to use his mouth to wipe the corner of her lips.

Hearing such a satisfactory answer, Barbara Jones laughed and threw the stick in his hand into the trash can and asked, "what else do you want to eat?"

Leo Young had thought that these things were all germs, but because Barbara Jones's company, he felt that these things were actually edible too.

Thus, he said, "I'm not picky with food, so anything is fine."

"Barbara Jones? Mr. Young?"Emily's voice suddenly came, making Barbara Jones retreat two steps and keeping a little far away from Leo Young. She turned her head, and saw Emily and Lisa were holding hands. They were looking at them with a puzzled expression.

"Mr. Young, Barbara Jones, are you shopping together?" Emily was a very straightforward person, she could say anything she want. Barbara Jones didn't know how to explain. If she said that it wasn't the case, it would definitely hurt Leo Young, but she didn't have the courage to tell them the truth either.

She bit her lip unconsciously, and she was flustered and confused. Her hand even clenched into a fist unconsciously. It was at that time that Leo Young said in a low voice, "Barbara Jones, Hebe Swift is coming soon. You can leave now."

"Alright." Barbara Jones replied softly as she glanced at Leo Young subconsciously. He would always help her when she needed him the most.

Leo Young could see that she was afraid of admitting their relationship, and knew that she didn't want to attract more attention because of their relationship. She had always wanted to make great efforts by herself, and didn't want others to talk about something that was not relevant to the work.

Leo Young's expression remained indifferent. After he finished speaking, he nodded his head and turned to leave, not even sparing Emily and Lisa a glance.

"Barbara Jones, are you really not shopping with Mr. Young?" Emily asked immediately after Leo Young left.

"Mr. Young has a wife. So how can he go shopping with Barbara Jones? Barbara Jones, is that right?"

It seemed that Lisa was helping her out of the trouble by saying this, but listening to the words carefully, she could find the irony of her words.

Barbara Jones laughed awkwardly. She didn't speak and for some reason, she felt a little depressed and sad.

Emily held Barbara Jones' hand and said, "Barbara, now that you're alone, why don't you go shopping with us this time?"

Regardless of whether Barbara Jones agreed or not, the innocent Emily held Barbara Jones's hand and went forward. Barbara Jones just followed them absent—mindedly.

Snacks, clothing, accessories and all the items were all displayed in front of her, but Barbara Jones was not in the mood to look at them. In her heart, she was thinking about the expression of Leo Young and she could see that he was depressed just now.

It was rare for him to find time to go shopping with her, so why did she waste such a precious chance just because of her inexplicable cowardice?

"Emily, Lisa. I'm sorry. I still have something to do. So I'll be leaving right now." Barbara Jones still wanted to stay with Leo Young. She didn't want to go shopping with them anymore.

"Don't you want to hang out with us?" Emily asked disappointedly.

Lisa pinched Emily quickly and said, "Barbara, then you can leave right now. You don't have to accompany us."

"OK." Barbara Jones nodded and left.

Seeing Barbara Jones walk far away, Emily turned her head and glared at Lisa. Emily said, "why did you pinch me just now?"

"Why can't you see that?" Lisa looked at the direction where Barbara Jones went, and showed a meaningful smile. Then she said, "it was obvious that someone is going to get promoted in our department soon."
