"We met on the way," explained Jean.

She just hoped Arthur could chill out. She just told him the deputy manager was her dad's confidant and didn't want him to stir the trouble up again.

The deputy manager didn't seem to be sold on her explanation, which made her uneasy.

Luckily Arthur acted as if nothing had happened. "Since there's someone waiting to pick you up, I'll get out of your hair."

It seemed that they weren't familiar with each other. The deputy manager looked up at Arthur.

"OK, see you," said Jean, smiling.

They both acted quite naturally as if they only met on the way.

Arthur then hailed a taxi and left. Jean, with the deputy manager and her assistant, got in the car. The deputy manager was perplexed and couldn't figure out their relationship.

Was the young man chasing after Jean? Why did he act as if he didn't have feelings for her?

Was Jean annoyed by this guy? Why didn't she shrink from him?

He didn't give up on probing into the detail. "You two really met on the way?"

"He came to participate in a business program. You can look it up to see if it's true."

He looked it up. It was true.

But he still couldn't understand. "I remembered seeing him at the company last time. He wanted to see you but you asked the security guard to throw him out. Is he still badgering you?"

"Yes, we talked about it. Now we
