Jalen arrived quickly. After Joyce left for about ten minutes, he appeared in front of Elaina.
“Didn’t you say that you were going to meet a client tonight? Why did you want to pick me up?” Elaina asked as she sat in Jalen’s car.
Her waist was injured, so her movements were a little stiff. However, because she did not want Jalen to see through her, Elaina had already tried her best to act normal.
Jalen started the car and casually replied, “We have finished talking about business. And we will only drink and chat. Graham can handle it.”
“Graham is really busy,” Elaina sighed casually. Normally, Graham would deal with Jalen’s affairs and even help Jalen entertain clients. If it were others, they would not be able to handle it.
Jalen chuckled and said casually, “His annual salary is more than 160 thousand dollars.”
“More than 160 thousand dollars? That’s really high.” Elaina was surprised.
Even though she was the deputy director of Northwestern Memorial Hospital, her salary was not as high as Graham’s. No wonder he was so busy. One couldn’t be highly paid while having little work.
“Why? Are you envious of him?” Jalen raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile.
Elaina nodded and did not deny it. “Who isn’t envious?”
In fact, she was not short of money. In addition to being a doctor, she actually had a lot of sidelines, but she still felt that it was a lot to earn more than 160 thousand dollars a year.
“If you are willing to be my secretary, I will also give you that much,” Jalen said.
Elaina curled her lips and glanced at him, saying, “I know you are rich, OK?”
“That’s fine. I’m only the richest man in New York,” Jalen said casually, but it sounded like bragging to Elaina.
Elaina facepalmed. For the first time, she realized that Jalen really liked bragging.
They quickly came to Elaina’s apartment building. Elaina was about to get out of the car when Jalen hurriedly called out to her, “Don’t move.”
Elaina was stunned and a little confused. Just as she was about to ask, she saw Jalen get out of the car, pull open the passenger door, and then carry her out.
Elaina was shocked.
“What are you doing?” She looked at Jalen in confusion.
“What do you think?” Jalen did not answer her. Instead, he carried her towards the elevator.
Elaina pursed her lips. She already guessed his mind.
“You already knew it?” Elaina braced herself and asked. For some reason, she felt a little guilty and did not dare to look into Jalen’s eyes.
Jalen did not speak, and the atmosphere became somewhat awkward.
Elaina felt bad and quickly explained, “I didn’t mean to hide it from you. I just didn’t want you to worry.”
“Elaina, do you really treat me as your boyfriend?” Jalen lowered his head and looked at Elaina in his arms.
Jalen felt helpless. He always felt that Elaina did not treat him as her boyfriend.
Elaina did not say anything, but Jalen continued, “I want to be someone you can rely on. I want you to tell me immediately no matter what happens.”
But Elaina had never done this. No matter what happened, she always wanted to solve it herself or hide it from him.
“I’m sorry. I’m not…”
“Why apologize? You didn’t do anything wrong to me.” Jalen interrupted her. He sighed resignedly. novelbin
Sensing Jalen’s anger, Elaina said weakly, “I’m sorry. I’m just afraid of troubling you. I’ll be careful next time.”
Elaina didn’t want to cause trouble for Jalen. She felt that this was good for them.
But Jalen didn’t think the same way. This was completely different from what she thought.
Jalen, who was originally angry, was stunned when he heard this. Looking at the pitiful woman in his arms, he did not know what to say for a moment.
“Alright, be more careful next time.” He nodded, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. Elaina looked too pitiful, and he didn’t bear to scold her.
