Bye, My Irresistible Love

Chapter 587: He Likes You 

George’s POV:

The sound of Helen’s voice was cold as ice, and it pierced through my heart.She had her back to me, so I couldn’t see the look on her face.

However, I could feel that she was giving me the cold shoulder.My heart ached as I let go of her, got out of the bed, and went to the living room to answer the phone.It was a call from Boswell.

Sounding surprised, he asked, "What happened, George? The news has already spread to the headquarters.They say that you’re planning to get married to Lucy?"

I didn’t answer him.I just leaned against the back of the sofa in silence.

Boswell thought that I acquiesced to his question, and he sounded even more shocked this time.

"Is it true? Man, I just went abroad and now this? When did you two get together anyway? Why didn’t I know about it?"

To be honest, I didn’t want to talk to him, but Boswell was lost in various conjectures and flights of fancy.

"Is it not convenient for you to talk over the phone right now? Am I interrupting you from something?" he asked.

"Anything else?" I asked irritably.

Boswell chuckled awkwardly.

"No, but Jane knows about your scandal.Care to explain to her?"

"I don’t have to.She’s a lot smarter than you," I said.

"What are you implying?"

Boswell was so pissed off that he broke into laughter.

Somehow, it made me feel better.

"If you don’t have anything important to say, I’m hanging up."

But before I could hang up, Boswell added, "By the way, Jane said that she’s coming back to work for a while to help you with the merger case."

"She’s already told me about it.I’ll make the necessary arrangements."

Right after I said that, I ended the phone call.

Helen’s POV:

After that day, I didn’t see George for while.Soren told me that Zhester Technology was launching a new product on the market at the end of the year and it was in the final testing stage, so both George and Boswell went abroad to the headquarters.

I didn’t probe into that too much, because the MGA case had officially begun.

Their target corporation, Smart Technology, had held a startup ceremony.

Legal processes, auditing, and evaluations had begun one after another.

As a member of Mesmor Law Firm, I was busy every day.

Aside from Phil, Mattie, and myself, Anya brought in three other senior lawyers with her.

Everyone in the team had their own duties, but I, on the other hand, wasn’t given any specific orders.I was more like Anya’s assistant, responsible for the overall planning and communications.

Phil remarked, "Anya is training you.Project management is a complicated task.If you manage to keep everything in order and follow through a proper scheduling, you might be able to take over a case on your own and lead your own team next time."

"I understand.Thanks for the advice, Phil."

Even though Anya was strict and didn’t say much, she had been mentoring me this whole time.I understood her intentions, so I worked even harder.

During this period of time, I was so busy that I hardly had time to sleep.

Occasionally, I’d receive a message from George.

However, I didn’t have any time to read it, let alone send a response.

Besides, they were just some unimportant stuff.

After nearly ten days had passed, George sent me another message.

"I’ll return at the end of this month," he texted.

Confused, I wondered why he took the initiative to tell me about his schedule.

The day I saw the message was a Friday night.

Lucy forced me to shut down my Laptop and took me out for dinner.I received George’s message when we were eating.

"Is it from George?" Lucy asked with a mischievous smile.

Her gaze made me feel uncomfortable, but I still nodded and said, "Yeah_"

I thought he’d be mad at me after what I did to him that day, but he still sent me messages like usual while he was abroad.It was hard to figure out what he could be thinking, so I decided to just drop it for the time being.

"Do you really not have any feelings for him?" Lucy asked tentatively.

"Feelings? What feelings?"

It was rare for me to have the time to rest these past few days, so I leaned against the chair and let my mind go blank.

At this moment, there was barely anything going on in my brain.

"George may not have explicitly stated that he has feelings for you, but I can toll that he obviously likes you," Lucy remarked.

I didn’t agree to her opinion.

Thus, I looked at her and said, "You said that when man wants to sleep with a woman, he’ll become a gentleman and be very considerate.You also said that if a man truly likes you, he’ll tell you about it clearly.Otherwise he just wants to fuck."

"I may have said that, but it’s different in your case.Look, you’re dealing with George hero.Me can have any woman he wants! If all he wanted was just a fuck buddy, then he wouldn’t bother making so much effort for you.Think about all he’s done for you.There’s no way he just wants to be friends with benefits," Lucy countered.

I thought that she was just messing with me or something.

The thought of George falling in love with me was so ridiculous that even I found 1t funny.

Because from the very beginning of our relationship, all we’d over enjoyed was the pleasure of sex.

But I must admit, he had taken really good care of me in my daily life.

However, that didn’t necessarily mean that he liked me.

Perhaps it was because he really was a gentleman.

If he were dealing with any other girl, he probably would’ve taken good care of her as well.

And the reason he kept coming back for me was probably because we were compatible in bed more than any other.

It was possible that he found it troublesome to find another fuck buddy, so he didn’t bother and chose to stick with me.

George having feelings for me was definitely out of the question.I couldn’t imagine what it would be like if he ever fell in love with anyone.

But, that didn’t have much to do with me. Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

After all, he and I were just fuck buddies; no more, no less.

"Honey, I’ve always told you that you need to cut yourself Loose and live in the moment! Aside from letting your body get what it wants, you should also follow your heart and have a romantic relationship.You don’t have to think about the future or the end result.Just follow your damn heart! Listen to me.I truly feel that George will be a good boyfriend to you,"

Lucy earnestly responded while holding my hand.

I stared at her for a good few seconds before asking, "That doesn’t sound like something you’d say.Did you have a concussion or something?"

Putting on a straight face, Lucy explained, "I’m serious, bestie! You’ve been so busy lately that it’s making me worry that you’ll die all of a sudden without even getting to experience what it’s like to be in love."

I didn’t know how to react to that.It was true that my work had kept me nailed to my desk lately.

Lucy must’ve pulled me out of the company because she wanted to instill this idea into my head.

"Fine! Once I’m done with this case, I’ll find a good relationship."

When I got home, I decided to listen to Lucy’s advice and had some rest.

I didn’t turn on the laptop to work overtime anymore.

As I lay in bed, I watched TV for a while.

Once I was about to fall asleep, George sent me a video call request.
