Chapter 72 - You Work At Vintage Gems? (1/2)

Xu Mey learned to act like a trusting person. But in reality, she didn't trust at all. The person she trusted the most was also the one who taught her that trust was a luxury not everyone could afford. That person was her Sensei- who brought her back to life and gave her a new dream in life to live.

Her trust for her Sensei was so deep that just with his one sentence, 'He is a keeper!' She decided to trust Ye Jie. She didn't want to go all in this relationship but she didn't want to get all out as well. Therefore, she decided to find a middle ground in this relationship.

When she was walking towards her motorbike, she stopped. Turned around and headed to Ye Jie's Audi which he was about to drive out. She bent a little, knocked at his window and when the glass rolled down, she asked, "Do you mind giving me a ride?"

Ye Jie kept staring back at her without blinking. This was one of the rare times when she spoke first. He opened his mouth but nothing came out. He cleared his throat and tried again. "Yeah sure... Get in."

Xu Mey smiled faintly and walked around the car to sit at the passenger seat. "Where to?" He asked.

"Just drive. I'll tell you the directions." She replied and Ye Jie stepped on the accelerator.

There was silence in the car and Ye Jie kept stealing glances at her face from his peripheral vision to discern her frame of mind. After much bickering with himself, he tested the water. "Those herbs that you received..." He dragged his sentence, not daring to complete it.

Xu Mey tilted her head towards him. "Oh, those... They are to help me get better sleep." She replied languidly.

Ye Jie nodded. "Who?" He again didn't complete the question.

She gazed at the side of his face for a while. "They are from the person who said you are a keeper." Her blunt reply stunned Ye Jie to the extent that he ended up stepping on the brakes. Fortunately, they were not yet on the highway otherwise you could imagine the consequences.

After looking at her face trying to see whether she was telling the truth or not, he coughed a little. "Sorry about this." Xu Mey waved it off like it was no big deal. And it was really not a big deal, no one got injured or anything.

"Okay, you can stop the car right there," She pointed towards the building and Ye Jie's eyes widened.

He parked the car and asked, "You work at Vintage Gems?"

Xu Mey was unbuckling her seatbelt when she said, "Isn't it a dream of every jewelry designer to work at Vintage these days?" She looked at him with raised brows. When she received no reply from Ye Jie she said, "Fine... It's not to that extent... Yet... But its still a good place to work." Indirectly, she was trying to make Ye Jie talk about his opinion of Vintage but he didn't make a comment.

"Should I come to pick you up?" He asked looking expectantly at her.
