Chapter 266

“You just told the driver to go to the airport…” Reynaldo’s voice sounded even colder in the biting wind. “What do you want to do at the airport? Run away?”

My heart skipped a beat. This man was incredibly perceptive; he always seemed to know what I was thinking.

Keeping calm, I smiled and said, “Mr. Humphrey is guessing blindly again, isn’t he? You’ve already offered me a monthly salary of 100,000; why would I run away?”

“Then you went to the airport…”

“Well, you left me alone, and I didn’t know which hotel to return to, so I thought I’d go back to Freybourne and wait for you.”

“Is it?” Reynaldo chuckled.

I nodded hastily. “Of course, otherwise, why would I go to the airport?”

“Heh!” He laughed again. In the cold wind, this light laughter was genuinely frightening.

After a while, he softly said, “Look up at me.”

I pursed my lips, slowly lifted my head, and instantly met his dark, deep eyes. My heart skipped a beat unconsciously.

I tightened my bag strap, trying to maintain my composure. I deliberately said to him in a tone of grievance, “You insisted I come, but every time I follow you, you leave me alone in a strange place.”

Of course, as the CEO, and I, merely his secretary, I should return to the hotel alone. I can't blame him. But I didn't know the hotel's name, so I didn't know how to get back.

“I thought, since you were so casually abandoning me, you must not need me anymore, so I decided to go back to Freybourne by myself.”

Reynaldo sneered. “Don't know the hotel address? You could have called and asked. Is your phone just for show?”

When discussing phone calls, my tone became even more aggrieved: “I called you twice this morning at the airport, and you deliberately hung up on me.”

Reynaldo frowned. “Did I hang up on purpose?”

I pursed my lips. “I thought you were a busy CEO, so I didn’t dare to call you.” You said to ask others, but I only have your number, Mr. Humphrey.

“I really had no choice but to go back to Freybourne alone.”

Reynaldo stared at me quietly, the coldness in his eyes melting away. He asked, “Do you only have my number?”

I handed him my phone. “Look, there are three contacts: Quentin, Vonnie, and you.”

Reynaldo looked on, his brow slightly furrowed. “I’m just a string of numbers to you. You don’t even give me a note?”

“I don’t need a reminder; I remember your number,” I said instinctively.

Reynaldo pursed his lips, his eyebrows relaxing momentarily. “Do you remember my number?”

“Um,” I put away my phone and casually said, “139*313.”

Reynaldo suddenly laughed. He turned his face away and blew out a smoke ring. When he looked back at me, his face seemed slightly improved.

He suddenly asked, “Is Jonathan’s clothing warm?”

I nodded unconsciously. Compared to when I first put on a sweater, it was much warmer.

“He took it off,” the man suddenly said.

I furrowed my brows and tightened my leather jacket. “Why did he take it off? Can’t you see it’s snowing?”
