Jocelyn almost came home at the same time with Arthur.
As soon as she came out of the subway station and reached the entrance of the community, a car whistle came beside her.
She looked back and saw Arthur's car. This was a black and shiny Maybach, the previous one had been destroyed and sacrificed gloriously in the attack. This new one looked very elegant, especially the license plate number written on "888".
The window in the back seat were slowly put down, revealing Arthur's cool and noble face.
"How coincidental it is." Jocelyn stopped and smiled at the man in the car, "You just came back, too?"
Arthur did not answer, but looked her up and down and frowned.
"Why do not let the driver pick you up?"
There were three drivers in Morrison family. Apart from the one for the old master, the other two were to serve others. It was sure that one of them had time to pick Jocelyn up.
"Traffic jam." Jocelyn blinked.
"Young Master, you haven't worked, so you don't know that. It is the rush hour during the early and the evening in Yanjing. Going out by a car is really not suitable for the clerk like me."
Originally, Jocelyn herself didn't know. But, the first day when she went to work, she was blocked on the road for an hour. So she had learnt the lesson. And after that, she never asked the driver to send her to work.
Depending to his military rank, that was enough to cordon off the streets when Arthur went out, so he naturally did not understand the traffic jam. Contrarily, he would cause the traffic jam. When Jocelyn called him "young master", her tone was full of satire. So that he frowned slightly and closed the window directly.
Jocelyn was left out of the door of the car alone, and the atmosphere was awkward suddenly.
"Get on the car, young lady." Suddenly the adjutant in the front passenger-seat said, "There's still a way to go. Take you on a ride."
Jocelyn looked happy, and she thanked the adjutant sweetly.
"Thank you, Adjutant Bennett."
As she said, she got on the car.
She had been doing chores for a day in the office, such as bringing the tea and pouring the water. Now she had to take the subway to go back. She had no strength. She would be thankful if she didn't need to walk on feet.
"Thank me for what? This is the young master's car." Adjutant Bennett peered at Arthur in the rearview mirror.
"It's his car. And he didn't invite me to get on."
Jocelyn pouted her mouth and deliberately raised her voice, "So thank you, adjutant Bennett."
Then a low voice came out beside her.
"Then get off."
Jocelyn who was proud and arrogant the previous second immediately was compliant
"Thank you, too, sir." Jocelyn looked at Arthur with a happy smile.
It was said that no one would hate a person who had a kind attitude. She had already found out that although Arthur looked cold, he was not a cruel, perverted and unreasonable man. No matter as the young master or as the senior officer, he wouldn't dispute with her, such a hippy and insignificant person.
Sure enough, after hearing that, Arthur raised the corner of his mouth, and he closed his eyes and stopped looking at her.
"Adjutant, drive."
"Ah."
When the car arrived at the gate of Morrison family, Selena, who was followed by three servants, was standing at the door to welcome Arthur. When she saw Jocelyn getting out first, she was stunned.
"How..."
"Mom, thank you for welcoming us on personally." Jocelyn did not explain and just asked the servants to help Arthur get down to the wheelchair.
Selena's attention was quickly distracted and she kept ordering the servants.
"Don't tumble Arthur down."
Jocelyn discovered that there was a slight sense of impatience flashing away Arthur's eyebrows.
Yes, he was the commander of the Military Region. Although he was disabled now, he was not the porcelain doll, was he? There was no need for him to be taken care of like this.
In Jocelyn's opinion, Selena had spent so much time and energy on getting a good status in Morrison family. She didn't really care about and didn't understand her children.
Before entering the room, Selena grabbed her, "Jocelyn, come here."
"Mom, what's wrong?" Jocelyn walked towards her in confusion.
Avoiding the servants and Arthur, under the porch, Selena asked in a low voice.
"Do you get on well with Arthur now?"
"We get on well with each other all the time."
"Then your belly..." Selena frowned, "Why is there no change?"
Jocelyn suddenly realized and she immediately had a dry cough and lowered her voice. "Mom, how long did I come back? And you know his body, he can't often... do that."
"Ah?" Selena was slightly stiff, and looked not natural. It seemed that she had never expected that Jocelyn would answer so directly. Suddenly, she was embarrassed.
"Oh, I'm not asking you this, I'm... I just ask..."
Jocelyn pretended to be ignorant, "What are you asking? What other change can my belly have?
Selena restrained herself for a long time.
"Forget it, come in and eat."
After that, she released Jocelyn and hurried into the house.
Standing at the door, Jocelyn looked relaxed and comfortable. Compared with others that who was more shameless, she had never failed.
In the evening, Abner Morrison also came back for dinner.
Probably because of the sudden sickness of the old master, the atmosphere during the dinner was somewhat tense. Abner glanced at the old master several times with the corner of his eye, as if he wanted say something.
No one expected that the topic was about Jocelyn.
"Jocelyn, you have come to the design department to report, right? How is it going?"
Jocelyn swallowed the fish soup and honestly said, "Very good, along with Cathy and some other designers in the design department, I can learn a lot of things."
"Recently, the group is busy with Mrs. Ruskin's business. I have no time to ask you what position the Personnel Department has arranged for you?"
"Assistant Designer."
All of them were silent immediately.
Abner seemed to be surprised, "Assistant Designer?"
"Yes." Jocelyn was confused.
Selena frowned, and Julia held a contemptuous and happy attitude. Nicola was still the same as usual, who was leaning over the chair to look on coldly with his face showing a casual smile. The most calm one was Arthur, which seemed that he had seen through everything in advance.
The old master put down his chopsticks and said in an unhappy tone, "Do you just let the eldest daughter-in-law of Morrison family work as an assistant in your group and do chores for others?"
Abner looked very nervous.
Jocelyn regained her consciousness and explained immediately.
"Grandpa, this is what I asked for. When I went to the Personnel Department the first day, I intentionally concealed my identity, so nobody in the group knows about my relationship with Morrison family."
After hearing Jocelyn's words, the old master looked not so angry.
According to the status of Morrison family in Yanjng, it was far more decent for the eldest daughter-in-law to stay at home as a housewife than going out to be an insignificant assistant to bring tea and pour water to others.
The old master in Morrison family attached most importance to the face. Naturally, he couldn't let Jocelyn bring tea and pout water to others outside.
"That's not good either," Selena interrupted, and she looked unhappy, "You are the eldest daughter-in-law of Morrison family. How can you be an assistant in the company? Anyway, you have to be a department manager."
Jocelyn frowned.
