Chapter 72 I Just Guard My Reputation (1/2)

Jean and John walked out of the restaurant and were about to say goodbye to each other, when John suddenly thought of something. He stroked the back of his head as he spoke, ”It nearly slipped my mind. I've forgotten to tell you about something else.”

”Hmm? What?” Jean asked while rubbing her belly. The food had been so great that she had eaten just a little too much.

”The Lei Group will hold an exhibition tomorrow night and need a photographer. Ethan requested that you attend that party. Later tonight, I will send some related material to you, so that you can make some preparations.”

”Lei Group?” Jean was baffled and blinked rapidly. ”Requested me?”

”Hmm, any problem?”

”Well, can you send anyone else to that party?” Jean swallowed. She didn't want to go to any events held by the Lei Group. She didn't want to meet Ethan either.

John was a bit shocked. Other company personnel would have made every effort to seize such a good chance. But contrary to his expectation, Jean declined.

Last time, she refused to go to the Qi Group. Later, John had realized why. And so that was understandable. However, why was she reluctant to attend the Lei Group's events?

After thinking it over, he finally remembered that as per the Weibo tweet, Jean had a relationship with Ethan at some point in the past. His eyes widened in understanding as he spoke, ”Why do you always decline for private reasons?”

Hearing this, Jean felt very embarrassed. How was it that her simple answers were insightful enough for John to figure out exactly what she was thinking? Without any idea as to how to answer this question, she mumbled an excuse. ”Last time, I went to Qi Group only to learn something from our boss. But this time, I am required to take the pictures by myself. I am afraid that I won't be able to. As you know, I am a newcomer without much experience.”

”But the photos you took at Kim Village are very good.” He raised his eyebrows and lifted the corners of his mouth a bit. John couldn't help smile as Jean looked very sweet when she blushed.

Tongue-tied, Jean didn't know how to explain.
