Chapter 866 Curiosity at Play
"Don't always blame others; think about whether it's your own fault. In that situation, I didn't handle it well. Although I'm anxious to resolve the misunderstanding your dad has about me, being too eager will only backfire. He's your dad, and I love you, so I respect him and care about his feelings. Don't be so impulsive, okay?"
"Okay. Thank you for understanding me."
"Lovers should be tolerant of each other, especially since it's not a big deal. We just want our elders' blessings. A marriage without blessings is unhappy. I hope your dad can genuinely accept me."
Ruben stood behind the wall, listening to the entire conversation clearly.
Being so magnanimous and graceful is indeed not easy. If it were another woman, she would definitely push Anthony to go public, forcing him to accept her.
His previous bad impression of her was gradually changing.
"Alright, let's go back."
"Who did you come with?" Anthony asked.
"Just the mentor from the company who's responsible for guiding me."
"Okay."
"Why do you look so unhappy?"
"I'm jealous. My girlfriend appeared as another man's date, and I'm jealous."
"We're just partners."
"That doesn't matter; others will think you're his girlfriend."
Juniper blinked, "Weren't you just saying you didn't care what others think?"
"I don't care; I'm just petty. I don't like my woman being with other men."
His stern face was particularly cute, and Juniper couldn't help but pinch his cheek, "Honey, you're so cute when you're jealous."
"I'm seriously jealous, not cute." Anthony pushed her hand away.
"Alright, alright, people say men are most charming when they're serious about work. You're the cutest when you're seriously jealous, hahaha. I really want to kiss you."
As soon as she finished speaking, Anthony gently bit her lip.
Anthony smiled smugly, "You asked me to kiss you."
"Was that a kiss? That was a bite."
"I couldn't help it because I like you so much."
Juniper was speechless.
"Shall we meet again after the charity dinner tonight?"
Juniper shook her head, "I have to go home and prepare materials for tomorrow's meeting."
"But we haven't seen each other for a week." Anthony felt he was being clingy. But after being with her, he wanted to be with her 24/7.
Even that wasn't enough.
"I can't help it; work is busy. Last time when I was busy, you were on a business trip, and our schedules just didn't match."
Anthony sighed, "We're in the same city, but it feels like a long-distance relationship."
Not wanting to see disappointment on his gentle face, Juniper quickly smiled and comforted him, "This is just temporary. When we get married and see each other every day, you'll get tired of me."
"No, I'll never get tired of being with you."
At the charity dinner donation segment, Anthony represented the Eilish Group and donated $300 million.
Juniper represented the Cooper Group and donated $80 million, making it the second-highest donation of the night.
"Wow, that beautiful woman is the heiress of the Cooper Group. She was quite famous before, but then she went abroad and was gradually forgotten."
"She's so pretty; I thought she was a celebrity."
"Is the Cooper Group that impressive?"
"In terms of company size, the Cooper Group should be at least in the top ten today, but their donation is the second highest. It seems Ms. Cooper is not only beautiful but also very kind-hearted."
"Yes, she's the epitome of beauty and kindness."
"I heard the person next to her is from the company, not her boyfriend. Do you think I have a chance with her?"
"After tonight, at least twenty people will be pursuing her. You'll have to get in line."
"Haha, but I still have to try. You never know, I might get lucky."
Ruben thought silently, 'None of you are a match for my son, and you still want to compete with him for a girlfriend? Overestimating yourselves.'
Suddenly, he was startled. Was he accepting Juniper?
Even if not entirely, his heart was gradually leaning towards her.
All morning, couriers came and went from Juniper's office, delivering flowers and various gifts.
The female employees were wide-eyed with envy.
"Being pretty is great. So many men are pursuing her, and those flowers don't look cheap, not to mention all the gifts."
"Exactly, I counted eight bouquets of flowers, more than I've ever received in total!"
"What's going on with her? Why so many suitors all of a sudden?"
"I don't know, but it's normal for a pretty woman to have many suitors."
"I think she went to some kind of matchmaking event, the kind with many people."
"Maybe, or she attended some social event with lots of wealthy people."
"Keep your thoughts clean."
"I always thought she was very serious about her work, but it turns out her private life is quite messy."
"No matter how successful a woman is in her career, it's better to find a wealthy man."
"That's true."
"It seems even our million-dollar-a-year Mr. Morgan isn't good enough for her. Her standards are really high."
"Beautiful women always marry rich men."
The air was thick with jealousy.
As soon as Kieran entered the office, he sneezed hard, "Are you running a flower shop here?"
Juniper was busy typing and didn't pay any attention, as she wasn't allergic to pollen.
"All these were delivered today? It seems you became famous at last night's dinner, and now you have a sudden explosion of suitors."
"Really?"
"You're not happy at all?"
"Why should I be happy?"
"Don't all women like being pursued by men?"
"After a while, you get numb to it and find it quite annoying."
Kieran felt a pang of jealousy. If she said this in front of the female employees outside, she'd get beaten up. It's really enviable, isn't it?
"Should I be a little worried for your boyfriend?"
"No need, they all combined can't compare to my boyfriend."
"In what way?"
"In every way: looks, money, body, temperament, brains..."
Kieran shook his head, "I seriously doubt your boyfriend is Superman!"
"You're so boring." Juniper laughed.
"Seriously, only Superman could be that perfect. You make him sound so amazing; I really want to meet him. Come on, set a date. Hurry up!"
"You're so nosy. You weren't like this when I first met you!"
"Curiosity is human nature. You made your boyfriend sound so great."
"It's not that I made him sound great; he really is that great! When you find out who he is, you'll know I'm not exaggerating at all."
"So who is he?" Kieran was almost driven mad by curiosity.
"Want to know?" Juniper beckoned with her finger, her eyes enticing.
