Chapter 20 I Will Never Forget Her (2/2)

A computer game?

”Then the sunset, the flowers and the moon you enjoyed together...”

”They were tasks for couples to complete in the game,” James said helplessly.

Hearing his explanation, Nina finally understood with r

elief and nodded knowingly.

It turned out that Michelle wasn't interested in James himself. She was after the role he had in the game.

”I admit that I'm so handsome and attractive that girls are always around me, but cute girls are really not my cup of tea,” James smugly said as he smoothed his hair back and raised his head conceitedly. He put his left hand in his trouser pocket, and stood there showing off like a playboy.

Of course, he was actually a playboy.

”Don't take it wrong. She's not in love with you,” Nina retorted, trying to defend her friend.

”If she didn't like me, why did she chase after me every day then?” James felt that his charm was way too enchanting and could not be doubted in this way. Obviously, Nina was just trying to salvage what was left of Michelle's dignity.

Nina remembered the game that Michelle had told her about. The entire time, she was pestering James because she was trying to break off their virtual relationship. After that, she needed to marry another person in the game to complete the tasks. She really wanted the prize.

”You haven't logged in the game for a long while now, have you? Michelle just wants to break off the virtual relationship she has with you in that game.”

”Yes, I haven't been online for two months now. I usually play a game for one or two times and won't play it again anymore,” James casually said and waved his hand dismissively.

Nina finally understood the real reason why Michelle went to the hotel to catch him. She just wanted to ask him to break off the virtual relationship with him. That was also the reason why she had chased after him on the campus.

A person like James, who would only play a game for one or two times, wouldn't be able to play games that well. Michelle might have been tricked by him in the game for her to agree to the relationship. It was now his duty to give Michelle an explanation and give her freedom.

Later, Nina would speak to Michelle and tell her these conjectures. Sure enough, she was right.

After walking with James for a while, Nina had lost all her patience with his never-ending twittering. She thought of a lame excuse to leave. James had no more reason to bother Nina again. Before leaving, however, he coaxed Nina for a long time until he finally got her WeChat account. As justification, he told her that It was more convenient to reveal his uncle's whereabouts for her through WeChat.

All the while, James already had a grand plan brewing in his mind. As far as he knew, there must definitely be something fishy going on for his uncle to put up with Nina after she had hit him not just once, but twice.

Even his assistant had given him a meaningful hint that if he fawned on Nina, he might gain John's favor.

As he pondered about it, James hummed a tune happily and entered the CEO's office of Time Group.

When Henry saw James, he couldn't help but feel surprised by his visit. ”James, don't you have classes at school? Why are you here?”

”I have no classes this afternoon.” James was a pro at lying shamelessly. He poked his head into the office calmly and asked, ”Is my uncle in the office?”

”Mr. Shi is talking about business with Mr. Glenn Zhang right now.”

”Isn't that Isabella's father?” Thinking of Isabella's shameful conduct earlier that day, James couldn't help but hate her and her whole family.

It could be concluded that for such parents to have produced a calculating daughter like Isabella, they must be rotten themselves.

With a burst of laughter, Glenn kept nodding in a patronizing manner and bowed obsequiously. ”You are right, Mr. Shi. I will do as you said. It's really lucky for me to be given the chance to cooperate with you.”

”Yes, indeed,” John answered in a careless voice and raised his hand dismissively to ask him to leave.

As soon as Glenn came out, he met James outside, who was looking at him in an unfriendly manner. Glenn was a little stunned, but maintained his composure and smiled to fawn over him. ”Nice to meet you, Mr. James Shi.”

”Hi,” James answered perfunctorily with loathing visible in his eyes. As expected, all their family members were of one and the same virtue.

”I heard that you are studying in L University, and my daughter Isabella also attends college there. Have you met her perhaps?” Glenn thought if Isabella could marry James, he and his family would really become prosperous and rich.

With a faint sarcastic chuckle, James answered, ”Yes, I have. I just met your daughter this noon. She left me with a lasting impression and I will never forget her.”

True enough, James would never forget that she tried to make a fool out of him as if he was an idiot.

”Oh, then that's really fate.” Glenn evidently misunderstood James' words and thought his daughter was so charming that James would never forget her.

Without saying anything further, James pushed the door open and entered the office.

John was leaning against the chair with his back to the door, a cigarette in his hand. After hearing James' footsteps, he slowly inquired, ”You said you will never forget her?”

He had always thought that there was something wrong with James' taste in women, but he never expected that he would be as blind as a bat.
