I Only Want You novel Chapter 103

Elizabeth Liang sat on the sofa, staring at her favorite cartoons, and felt that she was not interested in it at all.

She didn't know how many times she picked up the phone. Looking at the dark screen, she felt a little disappointed.

In fact, she thought he should have given her a phone call after today's incident. Or at least, a message.

But now it was nine o'clock, she did not receive any calls, not even a message.

She had checked with Samuel and James had gone to Los Angeles.

A place with time difference of fifteen hours with China.

Now, it should be five o'clock in the morning.

He has fallen asleep, hasn't he?

Her slender white fingers stroked the screen of her mobile phone. She hesitated for a while and then turned off the phone.

She stared at his WeChat's name and head portrait. She didn't know whether she should send him a message.

Although she's still hesitating, her fingers were more honest than her heart. She quickly wrote — James...

Before she pressed the send button, she thought about it and deleted the message, only changing it to a question mark.

She even calculated that this was the best way. If he woke up and saw this message, and if he asked her why she sent this message, she could explain that she accidentally pressed it to avoid admitting that she missed him.

To her surprise, James Lu replied only seconds later. "What's wrong?"

Then she got so excited that she almost jumped up after this torment in heart.

And she did what she had planned — Ah? That, maybe I accidentally pressed it. Haha.

James replied a few minutes later—Are you sure?

Elizabeth immediately said—of course!

In less than a minute, the phone suddenly rang. It was James, who was now on a business trip to the United States!

Her heart beat faster, and she picked up the phone. "Hello?" Her voice trembled.

However, what responded to her was a bland reply. "Yes."

"You..."

"Did you accidentally press the phone?"

"Er..." Elizabeth sounded sure, "Yes, that's right."

"Then why did you answer the phone so quickly? You picked it up in three seconds?"

Upon hearing this, Elizabeth couldn't help thinking, "This fox!" "I... Because I'm playing with my phone. I just slipped to the call button... Well, that's it."

"Oh —" He prolonged his tone, obviously not believing it. "Elizabeth."

"Huh?"

"Are you missing me?"

"No... No!"

Elizabeth scratched her ears and didn't want to talk about this topic with him anymore. "Well, you replied so fast. Haven't you slept yet?"

"Well, there are some documents to be dealt with."

"Oh, is it done?" It was almost dawn over there, but James still didn't sleep. Can he stand the stay-up?

"It's just in time."

"Oh..."

At this point, Elizabeth began to be frustrated with herself. She couldn't find a topic to talk about. However, she didn't want to hang up the phone.

James's also silent, but he didn't say he wanted to hang up. Both of them were mute, so quiet that they could hear each other's slow breathing in the receiver.

It's so subtle but made her feel at ease and satisfied.

After a long while, she pursed her lip. "Well... James... I'm sorry..."

He suddenly understood what she was referring to. This time, he did not tease her. "Okay, I accept it." Elizabeth heard the sound of the lighter and knew that he was lighting a cigarette. Hearing his words of "I accept", she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank you." After that, she added, "Thank you for what happened today. Thank you for defending me."

James chuckled. "Finally realized my charm?"

"Yes."

"You've done a great job today! Elizabeth, you've made progress!"

These were actually very ordinary and simple praise. But when they came out of his mouth, Elizabeth felt that they were special. James Lu, who was so arrogant and stinky, was praising her.

"Haha, it's all your credit." Elizabeth giggled. It was already 9:30 p.m. "Have you been very busy these days?"

"I'm fine." But in fact, his hands were full and he's overwhelmed.

"It's almost dawn over there, isn't it? Why don't... why don't you take a break first?"

"Oh." At this time, it was already six o'clock on his side. "What about you?"

"I'll go out and run around." He winked at her and said, "Good night."

Elizabeth nodded with a smile. "Good morning, James."

Before hanging up the phone, she suddenly shouted, "Um... when... when are you coming back?"

"You miss me already, right? One day seems like three years?"

How could he change so fast! He's just so warm but soon turned flippant.

"Hahaha!" James laughed for a while and said, "If things go well, I should go back the day after tomorrow."

"Oh."

******

She stayed awake until four o'clock in the morning because of the excitement of getting back to normal with James, the devil of the chaotic world, and the video from last night. But she woke up early the next day. She obviously didn't sleep for hours, but she felt that she was in good spirits and full of strength.

When people were happy, they were refreshed.

It had been a month since she came to Kuture. After she finished her work in the afternoon, she was informed to get her salary. She's paid in cash since Kuture was small-sized, not the regular practices in the big company.

She took the envelope from Lisa and thanked her. Then left.

In the staff lounge, Elizabeth tried to suppress the excitement in her heart and opened the thin envelope with shaking hands.

She counted carefully three times, 1800 yuan!

Holding the money, she jumped up happily and cried out twice. She remembered that she was still at work, so she looked around and found that she had not been noticed by others. Then she sat down again with relief.

In fact, it's not much, or even very little, but she felt that it meant a lot to her.

This was the first time that she had earned a salary and earned it with her own efforts!

This indicated that she had grown up and she's been able to survive on her own, which overwhelmed her with a sense of pride.

She couldn't wait to have someone share her joy!

And the first person came to her was James!

She took photos of the salary along with the envelope and sent it to James through WeChat. "I got paid!"

James seemed to be busy. She waited for almost half an hour to receive his reply. How could he, with a large enterprise, care about such a small sum of money? However, he did not ridicule her. Instead, he sincerely expressed "Congratulations! The first time of being paid in your life!"
