Chapter 27
He stared at her. “Do you think I earn too little money?”
“Ah, no!” She denied it. “I just wish you could have a better life.” Maybe she wouldn’t amount to much,
but she wished for a
better life for him.
“I will have a better life. And when the time comes, I can give you whatever kind of life you want, too,”
he looked at her seriously and said.
Obviously, this was just a game to him, but now, he really wanted to give her a different kind of life. It
would be something that he could easily do.
Serenity smiled. She did not believe that Jack could give her the kind of life she wanted. However, she
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtdid not want to hurt his self–esteem, so she simply said, “Nice. Then I’ll wait for you to get rich and just
be a leech and live off you.”
“Okay,” he replied as a glint flashed across his deep, dark eyes. If she wanted, he could support her for
the rest of her life.
The next day, when Connor Gunn went to the pantry, he heard some co–workers chatting with each
other. “Have you seen the sweater that Mr. Valor is wearing today?”
“No, why?”
“It seems to be a bestseller on Amazon.”
“No way. There’s no way Mr. Valor would wear that kind of clothes.”
“I couldn’t believe it either. Maybe the bestseller on Amazon is a replica of a sweater from a well–
known brand. But that sweater looks different on Mr. Valor. It makes me want to buy one for my
husband.”
“Send me the link too.”
Connor froze. Then, he silently backed out of the pantry. He did not have the heart to tell the two co–
workers that, yes, the sweater Mr. Valor was wearing today was indeed an Amazon bestseller, and he
even saw someone else in the company wearing the same sweater today.
Mr. Valor was pretty nonchalant about it. He merely gave that person a faint glance.
But that co–worker was shocked. He could not believe that his CEO was wearing the same sweater as
him.
Connor returned to the CEO’s office and saw his boss at the desk. Jackson had taken off his suit jacket
and was reviewing documents.
The sweater did make him look more bookish than usual, and less ruthless.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSerenity Lewis probably bought that sweater for him, thought Connor. Usually, before Mr. Valor came to
the company, he would change out of the clothes he wore to the rental house, but today, he did not
change out of the sweater.
What did this mean?
Also, how long was Mr. Valor going to go to that tiny rental house for? Of course, Connor did not dare
to ask him these questions.
“Mr. Valor, this is the acquisition proposal you asked for.” Connor placed the document on the desk. He
was about to leave when Jackson suddenly called out to him.
“Do you know about the advertisement Zeke Shaw put up everywhere in town for Jenny Hall?” Jackson
asked.
The question surprised Connor a little bit. He did not expect a question like that from his boss.
“I do.”
“How many such advertisements are there in the city?” asked Jackson.
