You Are The Pursuit of My Life

Chapter 9

Steven immediately released Irene's hand. When the two of them turned around, they realized that Jordan was already standing behind them. Jordon was momentarily stunned when he realized that it was Steven. "Mr. Cook?" he greeted.

"Mr. Reed!" Steven greeted and smiled awkwardly.

However, Jordan added quickly with a forced smile, "Why are you holding onto my assistant's hand? Are you harassing her?"

"Assistant?" Steven repeated and stared at Jordan in surprise before he looked at his daughter and asked, "Irene, are you working for Mr. Reed?"

"Irene? Why are you addessing her so lovingly? Mr. Cook, I believe my assistant could already pass off as your daughter. Besides, she's not good-looking! It'd be a great mistake to have eyes for her. It'll be terrible to be embroiled in a nasty scandal," Jordon reminded sharply and pulled Irene over to his side as he spoke.

However, when he saw how protective Jordan was of his daughter, instead of being angry, he burst into laughter. Jordan was handsome and graceful, the CEO of the Golden Age Group of China. Steven couldn't help but think how wonderful it would be if Irene could date Jordan.

As Irene's uncle had always been in poor health, she made a trip to the market on her way home and bought some fish, prawns and chicken so that she could whip up something nourishing for her uncle. However, when Irene was coming out from the supermarket, a car suddenly rushed towards her from the side of the road. Unable to dodge in time, Irene was hit by the car and fell to the ground. Her palm and legs were badly grazed and ached terribly. When she tried to get back on her feet, she could not seem to summon the strength to do so. The driver
