Chapter 466 Do You Like Me?
Oh Kate. What are you doing and what were you expecting?
“Bad mood?” Jasper suddenly spoke, jolting her back to her senses. Eyes vacant, she then looked at him and replied on auto-pilot, “No.” Jasper looked at her and said with a smile, “When you’re down, you don’t talk.”
Smiling awkwardly, Kate replied, “R-Really? Since when did you know me so well?” Jasper chuckled. “When you like someone, it’s only natural to care about everything she does.”
Startled, Kate’s heart almost skipped a beat while she stared at Jasper in surprise. “W-What are you talking about?”
Jasper glanced at her. “What do you think I’m talking about?” His look was as deep as the ocean, causing Kate to avoid his gaze out of reflex. “I don’t know what you’re talking about!” Feeling helpless, Jasper asked, “Can you tell me about you and him?”
Kate looked at him in surprise. “You mean Nathan?”
“Yeah,” Jasper replied. “You seem to care about him a lot.” Out of reflex, Kate denied. “No. We’re just friends who split up because of some misunderstanding.”
Jasper’s eyes seemed like they could gauge one’s soul as he prompted, “Do you like him?”
Instinctively, she replied, “No!”
He pressed, “Do you like me then?”
All at once, Kate was stunned. Panicked, she averted her gaze while bantering as usual, “Don’t pull my leg. You should know that a boyfriend is the most unreliable person of all!”
Jasper took a deep breath and reassured, “Don’t feel pressured; I was just asking. You don’t have to put up your guard against me. Even if I’m not your boyfriend, we’re still friends, aren’t we? After all, we’ve known each other for so long.”
Looking at Jasper, Kate suddenly felt inexplicably guilty. He had helped her a lot and he was truly a gentleman, who was always considerate of others’ feelings. He had never made things difficult for her and due to that, she felt even more sorry for him because she couldn’t give him anything. Perhaps that was how feelings worked. The best might not be the one she fell for. Looking at him, she nodded. “Alright.”
Staring at her, Jasper said, “Haven’t you realized? Usually, the reason one cannot accept someone else is because they have another person in their hearts.”
Kate pursed her lips and remained silent.
Jasper continued, “What I’m trying to say is, every girl is an angel who should be coddled. Therefore, you must find a man that loves you wholeheartedly. Don’t ever get upset by someone unworthy and definitely don’t waste your love on them!”
Kate smiled. “Thank you. I understand.”
Jasper then said, “Alright then; stop thinking about it. Summer is waiting for our clothes.”
…
After that, both of them went back to the magazine publisher. Kate told Jasper to wait for her in the office whereas she headed straight to the photo studio. She knew that Summer was hard to please so she didn’t even ask her assistant to send the clothes in. Instead, she brought the clothes over herself.
Meanwhile, Summer was leisurely sitting on the rocking chair while playing with her phone. Beside her, the assistant was massaging her legs. As soon as Kate walked in, she politely apologized, “Miss Summer, sorry to make you wait. You’ll definitely like the clothes that I bring you this time.”
However, Summer didn’t raise her head or open her eyes nor did she respond to Kate’s words. She just sat there and continued playing on her phone.
Kate wasn’t bothered by that. After all, Summer was a top tier celebrity and it was truly an honor to have her working on the cover of their small magazine. Therefore, it was only natural for Summer to act haughtily.
While placing the bags on the floor, Kate explained, “Our theme this time emphasizes on fashion elements. The clothes from Olivia Maxwell Studio are leading the fashion and with the jewellery from Luck & Diamonds, we’ll surely get a perfect photo!”
