Albert glanced at Jessie, and then turned to Axell with a gracious smile, apologizing, Sorry about that, Dr. Calderon.
Albert bent down and lifted Jeslyn into his arms.
Gently patting her on the backside, he inquired in a soft tone, What did you just say, sweetheart? Nestling against Alberts shoulder, Jeslyn pointed to herself and reiterated, You picked my mame yourself because Im Daddys sweetheart.
Planting a tender kis on her forehead, Albert nodded approvingly.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThats right! Youre my little sweetheart.
Then he addressed Jessie, | brought Jeslyn here to enroll her in a language course. | heard you were recruiting. Do you have any suitable classes for her? Jessie was on the verge of declining.
Cradling Jeslyn, Albert strolled to the front desk, grabbed a brochure, and perused it. After a moment, he remarked, It appears
that you guys pay house calls and children can have lessons at home.
Thats wonderfull Considering my daughters discomfort with being around unfamiliar people, itd be preferable for her to have private lessons at home. Could we schedule two-hour sessions on Tuesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays? Im willing to pay triple the standard fee for this arrangement. Would that be acceptable?
In the presence of others, Jessie found it challenging to decline him directly.
Consequently, she restrained herself and replied casually, Im afraid this isnt how we do this.
Before Albert could interject, Axell chimed in hastily, | dont see any issue with that. Jessie, Mr. Waston has faith in you. Dont disappoint him.
Concerned that Jessie might decline, he assured Albert, Dont worry, Mr. Waston. Well take excellent care of your daughter.
With a faint smile, Albert remarked casually, It looks like you can already make decisions for Jessie, Dr. Calderon.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmTeased, Axell felt a tinge of embarrassment, his cheeks flushing.
Meanwhile, Albert brushed it off and instructed the driver to pay the fees in advance. Jessie felt utterly helpless. She wanted to decline Alberts request. Yet she knew Axell would undoubtedly grow suspicious if she did.
In the end, she had no option but to accept the payment and murmured softly, Just a gentle reminder, parents wont be permitted during the sessions.
Albert agreed readily. Thats fine. Im swamped with work, so | wont be able to join her in class.
Subsequently, he paid twenty thousand dollars upfront. Once Jessie verified the sum, she stowed the cash in the drawer and passed him the invoice. Here you go, Mr. Waston. Ill be in touch next week.
She maintained the utmost politeness, treating him as though he were just another regular patron.
Albert glanced at Axell before addressing him with a smile. Are you
two off on a date? | envy you both! Youre young and vibrant. Dont overwork yourself. Remember to enjoy life and have some fun.
Jessie muttered impatiently upon hearing this. Why dont you stick to your own affairs, Mr. Waston? However, Albert didnt react. Instead, he turned to Jeslyn and suggested gently, How about dining out for dinner, sweetie?
