Chapter 1341

Nash barely managed a greeting when he saw her, and it wasn't exactly overflowing with warmth. But those who knew him well understood that him speaking kindly, even with a touch of gentleness, was quite the feat. Noticing Nash's clearly displeased expression, she assumed it was because he felt embarrassed about being hit by Fiona, a woman. She was about to offer some comforting words when the door swung open again. Louise looked over instinctively. The man who entered was dressed in a sharp iron-grey suit, radiating a cool, aloof vibe. From where she stood, she caught a glimpse of his slightly raised chin-a simple outline, yet stunningly attractive. His presence was intimidating, and Louise felt her cheeks flush. She had seen Jackson from afar before but never this close. Her heart sped up as she tried to greet him, but he walked past her without a glance.

She watched in disbelief as Jackson approached Fiona, the person she least admired, and affectionately called her "kiddo."

Louise's eyes widened. What on earth was happening?

Jackson stopped in front of Fiona, and the chill in his eyes was softened by warmth. "Is everything sorted? Have you figured out what you want to eat?"

"I have," Fiona replied, looking up at him. He was a head taller, and when she caught sight of his devilishly handsome face, she had to fight to keep her cool. She coughed lightly and suggested, "Let's go for a steak dinner; it's been ages since I had one." "Alright," Jackson nodded. He didn't care what they ate as long as the young lady was happy.
