Chapter 748

The deputy manager immediately said, "It's very filial for you to prepare a birthday gift for your mother, Mr. Hudgens. Our Lorlene Jewelry will offer you the best choices."

"Miss Jean? Would you please…" The deputy manager then turned to ask Jean, since she was the designer and was responsible for all the introductions. Arthur was their customer, after all, so Jean had no choice but to introduce the products to him.

But when she was walking towards the stall, the blister on her hell suddenly burst, nearly causing Jean to cry out. But she only frowned and thought to herself, "Wonderful! What a perfect time for the blister to burst! I really can't tolerate high-heeled shoes anymore."

"Are you okay?" Arthur noticed keenly that something was wrong, so he asked with concern.

"Oh, nothing, I am fine," Jean answered through gritted teeth. The deputy manager and her assistant were still watching, and she didn't want to expose their intimate relationship but treated Arthur simply as a customer.

But her assistance interrupted, "Oh my god, Miss Jean. Your blister burst. It must be quite hurt!"

Jean was utterly speechless. She tilted her head, glaring at the assistant as if warning her assistant to stay out of this. The assistant only stuck out her tongue, trying to look innocent. In fact, it was Jean who had complained to the assistant that the high-heeled shoes were so uncomfortable that she even got a blister on her heel. So, when the assistant found the blister broken, she yelled out of worry.

"Let me have a check." The next moment, Arthur knelt down without hesitation, his long fingers held on Jean's heel to check the blister.

While Jean backed up with embarrassment, saying, "I said I am alright." What was he thinking? The deputy manager and her assistant were still here!

But ignoring her rejection, Arthur held her feet in his hand with some force and he soon noticed a broken blister right on her heel. The wound looked terrifying on her white smooth skin. No wonder Jean had just frowned. How could she say she was alright? Her toughness nearly broke his heart.

Jean's assistant covered her mouth with her hand. She was shocked by Arthur's movement. It was too intimate. As for the deputy manager, he just pulled the assistance away coolly, leaving the two youngsters to indulge in the intimacy. Though they pretended they didn't know each other, when it came to an emergency, nothing could be hidden. The deputy manager had noticed something fishy between Jean and Arthur earlier and it turned out to be love affairs. But it seemed strange to him that the relationship was more like an affair rather than love.

"I will buy you some bandages. Wait for me." After checking the wound, Arthur left for the medical center in the exhibition directly, where there will be doctors in case of an accident. When he came to the exhibition, he had already checked the location of the medical center out of the instinct of being a doctor himself.

When Arthur left, Jean sat in the chair again, crossing her legs. She was feeling uneasy when the deputy manager and the assistant turned to her, the deputy manager commenting suggestively, "What a wonderful husband Mr. Hudgens will be."

Jean rolled her eyes. "A wonderful husband? You are kidding me?" The deputy manager had just made contact with Arthur and Jean couldn't say anything if the deputy manager referred to Arthur as her boyfriend. But a husband? Didn't he think this was too quick?

But the deputy manager asked rhetorically, "Or what? Don't you tell me it's puppy love at such an age?"

Jean didn't say anything but she knew the deputy manager was implying that she was too old for passing infatuation. Dropping her eyes, Jean said coldly, "He's from Riverside City. My dad will never agree with this relationship. So don't tell him." Jean thought Arthur had left a good impression on the

deputy manager, so she hoped the deputy manager would help. She didn't want to bring Arthur trouble. The relationship between the deputy manager and her wasn't close enough for her to confess that Arthur had said he was willing to move into Zoshalor, and she wasn't sure about her affection towards Arthur, so she just wanted to end this topic.

The deputy manager didn't expect her attitude to be so negative. After a pause, the deputy manager said, "Of course. If you don't want your father to know about this, I won't tell him." But then he continued, "But I think sometimes you care too much about your father's opinions. It's your marriage, not his. Mr. Hudgens not only has such a good family background but also qualifications from an elite university. Oh, he is very handsome. Like I said, what a wonderful husband."

What the deputy manager said only upset Jean. What if her dad could be as tolerant as the deputy manager?

Arthur soon went back with some bandages and a bottle of iodine. He then gently helped Jean off with her shoe, disinfected the wound, and bandaged it. When all the things are done, he rose up and talked to Jean, "Give me your room card. I will go get a more comfortable pair of shoes for you."

"Oh, it's okay to be just like this. I feel better with the bandages." Jean didn't want to cause Arthur any more trouble, since he still got work to do.

But her assistance reminded her, "Miss Jean, I think you'd better change your shoes. You still have a communication fair later and it will last late." What she was trying to imply was that if Jean didn't change her shoes, she would be even more tired.

That persuaded Jean and she gave Arthur the room card, and Arthur immediately went back to the hotel to get the shoes immediately after saying goodbye.

"Mr. Hudgens is really thoughtful." The assistant covered her mouth and smiled after Arthur left. While the vice president didn't say anything the expressions in his eyes implied what he thought: What a pity if you didn't want Arthur to be your husband, Jean.

Jean only shook her head without a word. They only didn't know Arthur well and they didn't know they had had a rocky history before.

Arthur soon came back with a pair of casual shoes found in Jean's room. Though it was a bit inappropriate for the communication fair, it could give her feet some rest.

"Thank you," Jean said politely and changed her shoes, then continued, "You need to buy your mother a gift, right? Let me show you the products."

"Sure." Arthur gazed at her for a while and went to the jewelry stall.

Arthur had mentioned his mother to Jean before, so she knew his mother should be a quiet, modest lady and his mother wouldn't like the jewelry that was too eye-catching. Finally, she recommended a set of jade, which was simply designed yet elegant.

Arthur purchased it without any hesitation while Jean asked, "You sure? Would you like to look at other jewelry?"

Arthur answered, "Sure. This is a perfect choice." Jean had mentioned his mother's personality when she was recommending the jade, and what she said ensured Arthur that this must be the best choice. He also understood why customers would purchase the product only if it was recommended by Jean. She was using her advantage as a psychiatrist, analyzing customers' personalities and preferences, and used that analysis in persuasion, which led to a highly successful rate. He had to admit that she was outstandingly clever.
