Chapter 344 - Deeply in love with his ex

At home, if Jacob and J were not eating in their room, they will be eating in the dining or by the poolside with the four of them. She has grown accustomed to that. Although, she was used to living alone, when she got a company at home, she just cannot ignore their presence. She might be cold, but she cannot detach herself from them. It was rare for J to spend time with other people unless she chose to. And if she chose to spend her time with a person that means she is comfortable with them.

Even at Lodgepole, she would eat together with Mrs. Potters and Mary. She doesn't categorize herself as an elite royalty that should be treated highly by the people around her. She would become uncomfortable. The first time that she found out about Arthur's Team, she just chose to ignore their presence but as time goes by, she just cannot ignore them. Specially that they had already became part of her life. And she had grown accustomed to them.

Felix sensed Jacob's frustration so he eventually appeases him. "But Boss don't misunderstand us! Whatever affection we have towards Miss J, it is definitely not romantic. It was just platonic, or maybe a bit familial but nothing more than that I assure you!"

"And besides, I and Daniel were both happily married and are very loyal to our wives. Stefan here, although he is a playboy, has principles, he never hooked up with an older and married woman. While Arthur…" He paused for a bit but didn't look at Arthur's direction. "Well… obviously, he is still deeply in love with his ex."

"Felix!" Arthur glared at him.

Felix raised both his hands in the air. "Hey, at least I cleared your name! You were the closest to Miss J so Boss would probably be most cautious about you."

"Okay, that's enough. I was just making sure that you don't hold any romantic affections towards my wife. Because if that's the case, how could I leave her to your hands?" Then Jacob stood up. "These coming days, prepare for a big show."

"Yes Boss!" they all answered simultaneously.

All this while, J is not aware that there is some kind of interrogation going on in James' office. She just knew that there were some things that Jacob have to deal with first before they go home. She was sitting in the accent chair where Jacob sits earlier while James is sitting in front of her checking out on his laptop.

It was rare for the two to be left alone. J is not the type of person to initiate a conversation. But there is something that she wanted to know from James' point of view. So, James was surprised to hear her.

"Say, what are your thoughts of me taking over CLP Group of Hospital?" J asked without looking at James. Last time that Jacob said this idea to her, they were in the car with James and Arthur, so she was sure that James knew about it.

James raised his head. This time, J is already looking at him anticipating his response. James smiled. "I don't doubt your capability, Miss J."

J chuckled. "You're just saying that because I am Jacob's wife."

James is an insightful person. He can see through a person and he cannot be deceived by just how a person appears or says. "Miss J, I know you are a type of person that is not interested in power, but if given an opportunity you will be a great leader."

J observes James for a couple of seconds. For some reason, James has a very convincing power. She smiled, "If that day arrives, will you still be the Executive Assistant?"

"I would be very much honored to be of help," James said firmly. James is the type of person that could help someone realize what they are capable of. That's why he has reached his position as an Executive Assistant.
