Jack stopped in his tracks and turned to look at Mandy.
Five minutes later, they returned to Jack’s home.
Mandy noticed some leftover sandwich scraps scattered on the table, indicating that he had hastily left after making them.
Seeing this scene, a bittersweet feeling welled up in Mandy’s heart.
“I’m a mercenary.”
Just as Jack wondered what Mandy was about to say, Mandy’s words were like bombs.
Jack frowned.
“As a special assistant to the Smith Group, you should know what a mercenary is, right?” Mandy’s tone revealed a bit of sarcasm. “In any case, I can’t have a stable relationship with you…”
“So, the previous two times were because of your missions going awry?” Jack ignored her words and directly changed the topic.
Mandy was taken aback. She didn’t expect his focus to be completely different from what she had imagined.
She nodded. “Yes, being a mercenary is a dangerous profession…”
Jack looked up and met her gaze, suddenly chuckled lightly, “If we can’t have a stable relationship, we can have an intermittent one.”
“What?” Mandy looked at him in astonishment. She understood every word he said, but it became perplexing to put together.
Jack repeated his words. His tone as casual as discussing the weather with Mandy.
“Anyway, I don’t plan on finding another girlfriend. As long as you have time, come and meet me… I can also come to see you.”
Mandy stood still in shock, even starting to doubt herself if she was too despicable.
Jack handed Mandy a cup of coffee. “It doesn’t affect you in any way. I will do everything a boyfriend should do.”
“But…” Mandy thought, “This only made me seem more like a scumbag.”
Jack casually tucked a stray hair behind Mandy’s ear and said lightly, “You don’t dislike me, right?”
Mandy lifted her gaze to meet his eyes, immediately captivated by his eyes…
Of course, she didn’t dislike him. Otherwise, she wouldn’t repeatedly have sex with him. Although she was charming, she wasn’t the type to fool around.
Mandy didn’t realize that she had unknowingly fallen into his verbal trap.
There was a subtle and ambiguous atmosphere in the room. Mandy’s heart trembled, genuinely moved by Jack’s proposal.
She was about to speak when her phone rang. It was the person coming to pick her up.
“I have to go.”
Mandy abruptly stood up and hurriedly walked to the door. The light in Jack’s eyes gradually dimmed.
“So, it’s still not possible, huh?” Jack thought.
As he pondered how to tactfully make Mandy stay, Mandy suddenly stopped, turned around, and smiled at Jack. “I think your proposal is not bad. Goodbye, my boyfriend.”
No matter how shocked Jack was, Mandy had already left his home.
Jack carefully pondered her words and couldn’t help but smile.
Even when she got into the car, Mandy’s smile hadn’t faded, causing the person picking her up to feel a bit jealous. “Oh, come on, just a man. Is it necessary for you to be like this?”
Mandy sneered, “You don’t understand, single.”
The person picking her up was taken aback, feeling both annoyed and amused. “You really have a sharp tongue.”
Mandy raised an eyebrow at the person. They exchanged a few retorts as the car sped away.
