Chapter 43: A Hidden Bomb

Arthur ate dinner downstairs alone. Then Selena went downstairs. She had always been very concerned about her eldest son, but Arthur had always been lukewarm to her. And today was no exception. She went back to her own room after being ignored by Arthur. “Young master, would you like another bowl of wonton?” “No.” Arthur put down the spoon, wiped his mouth slowly and raised his head slowly to look coolly toward the second-floor bedroom. Jocelyn got nervous. She pulled her neck back and hid herself behind the doorframe.jerking back his neck and hiding behind the doorframe. She always felt that Arthur seemed to know everything. No matter what happened, he was always calm, as if he had a god's eye, and it was just a show for him, he was always watching them as an outsider. “I heard that grandfather suddenly fainted today, and mother found Doctor Warren here. Doctor Warren said it was grandfather’s old malady. Don’t you think grandfather needs to go to the hospital for good treatment?” At night, Jocelyn and Arthur lay side by side on the bed. There was still an appropriate distance between them. Jocelyn thought that Arthur might see she was talking to Antony. So, she didn’t know what she should talk to him. Arthur still held his military books. He never raised his head when he heard these words. What she said even did not distract himself. He said softly. “Grandpa has his own ideas.” After speaking, he turned his book to a new page. He was very concentrated, as if he did not hear the word 'Doctor Warren'. Jocelyn flipped through a fashion magazine, but she was actually looking at Arthur's expression from the corner of her eyes. “Is Doctor Warren always our family doctor? I think Doctor Warren is too young. Will it be better if we find an older doctor?” “Age has nothing to do with medical skill. The Warrens have been army doctors for three generations and also been friends with our family.” Although grandpa had retired, he was still prestige in the army. many of his soldiers were in the political positions. And so many people wanted to shake his position. So it should be careful to find a doctor for grandpa. Grandpa had been always believed in the Warrens. Antony’s father used to be his doctor. After Antony’s father changed his job in the army, Antony went to be his doctor. And it had been some years. “Oh, just forget it.” Jocelyn nodded thoughtfully. She was not really intent to replace Antony, but used the opportunity to imply that she had nothing to do with Antony. Look, I’m suggesting to replace him. What do I have to do with him? Then the sound of closing the book came from her side. “Are you going to sleep?” Jocelyn responded quickly and asked casually. Then she dropped the magazine on the edge of her pillow and bent to turn off the reading lamp beside the bed. After she turned off the lights, the room fell into darkness and almost silent. Jocelyn moved quick, she had been in the quilt and closed her eyes. But she didn’t notice that Arthur was not going to lay down, but looked down at her. The coldness in his eyes was replaced by the determination of digging things out. “Why do not you sleep?” Perhaps she felt being watched by someone. Jocelyn suddenly opened her eyes and just saw Arthur still sitting there. In the dark, Arthur’s voice came from above. “Julia likes Antony. Our two families are always in a good relationship. If Antony agrees, this marriage will be a sure thing.” “Why are you telling me this all of a sudden?” “I remember you are close to Antony.” Hearing it, Jocelyn suddenly understood his meaning. That was actually what you meant. “You are wrong." She yawned. "I’m not close to him at all. If you want me to know your sister’s thoughts, don’t let me ask her. If someone thinks it’s me who are interested in him, it will be complicated.” After her words finished, the room became quiet for a moment. And the sound of Arthur lying down came to her ears.. Jocelyn was finally relieved. This Antony was really a hidden bomb. If he was smart enough, it would be simple. But if he was always dumb and made the bomb explore on her, it was better for them to cut the lines. The next day, Jocelyn packed some breakfast from home and before she went to work, she sent it to the hotel where Olive lived. The hotel room was quite clean, Olive still kept the habit. The quilt was folded like a tofu, put on the bed. “You can’t change your habits? Fold the quilt in the hotel? Really?” Jocelyn put the breakfast on the table. The quilt on the bed reminded her the long dark days in the jail. Though it wasn’t a very long time, but she was still suffering. Olive did not response her words. She reminded Jocelyn while looking at the breakfast on the table. “The hotel provides breakfast.” “I know, but I don’t think it will taste good. I just bring you on my way to work. It will depend on time. In fact, I want to give you this today. Jocelyn took a card from her wallet and put it on the table. " The code is your birthday, and there is 500 thousand dollar in it. You take it first." “I do not need it.” “I didn’t mean it. I mean you spend on your meal. And you have to help me. I want to open an original design jewelry. You have to help me to find a place. You go around to see where the store is going to rent out or something. Find a place you think it’s better in your customer’s point of view.” Olive nodded quickly. Jocelyn planned to create her own original design brand. There were two plans, one was to find a design studio and the other was to find a good place to do jewelry sales in the future. Although Olive didn’t know anything about Jewelry, she was actually a meticulous person. Jocelyn let Olive do this, she could really be at ease. After all this, Jocelyn found it was late. She went to work in a hurry. Fortunately, it wasn’t far from the Morrison Group. She walked ten minutes and arrived there. “Good morning.” The opposite colleague Leo arrived early in the morning. He gave her a warm greeting when seeing her here. “Good morning.” Jocelyn looked around and found people in the office was fewer. She asked. "Why there are fewer people in the office? Some event today? " Leo nodded. “It has been a recruitment season lately. It is time for interviews. Cathy's assistant, Carmen , brought a few persons to go with her to interview the new ones.” Jocelyn nodded thoughtfully. The biggest taboo in design working was legality. They needed fresh blood, which was one of the important factors in this industry. So the recruitment was frequent every spring and autumn. Thinking of it, Jocelyn took her design out of the bag, carefully reviewed it, and walked toward Cathy's office, bringing this design.
