Chapter 945 Zed Gets In A Fight With James (1/2)

”You're the worst son anyone could ever have!” James's father roared at him, raising his hand to slap him. James closed his eyes, bracing himself for the blow. But seeing his scared and accepting face, his father's heart softened. He gave up.

”James...I just hope you will remember what you've said today,” he continued shouting, as he jerked his hand and dropped it. Angrily, he then turned around and left with his fists clenched.

Watching his father leave, James wiped off the brick ash from his face. He looked at Jean with an embarrassed look. He forced a smile, even though he was heartbroken. ”I'm sorry about that...”

”Don't say that. Are you okay?” Jean looked at him and asked with genuine concern.

She was really shocked at what had just happened, and didn't know how to deal with such a situation.

”Well, don't worry. I'm fine. Let me take your luggage and show you your room first. Then we can go and buy some furniture. Looks like I don't have much to do today. But then again, maybe I'll be free every day now...” James said in a self-mocking tone.

Jean was lost. She didn't know how to comfort him. It was a family matter, after all. She was only his employee and at most an ordinary friend. It would've been very inappropriate for her to pry in something so personal.

Without saying anything more, Jean followed James and entered into the gym.

There were several empty rooms there. Soon enough, James prepared a bright room for Jean. It was a small room but had a bathroom attached. It was just correctly convenient.

Back at the hotel, Zed was interviewing an assistant.

He needed to find a good assistant as soon as possible. But he simply didn't find anyone sufficient for the job, even after interviewing so many.

Tired, he heaved a sigh. He kept going through the applications on his computer. His head ached so much that it felt like it would explode.

Finally, he checked the time. It was time for dinner. He picked his phone up and called Jean up.

Jean heard the ringtone.

She picked up right after the second ring.

”Hey...Can you leave now? I can pick you up and we can have dinner at home... okay?” Zed asked cheerfully.
