As soon as Elizabeth walked out of the school gate, she saw the familiar Maybach.
James was leaning against the car, and he did not see her. At this time, he was lowering his head slightly to light up a cigarette. He was tall and handsome, and there was a cool car behind him, so he naturally attracted a lot of attention. However, he stared at the ground with some dissatisfaction, not looking sideways. There was a little bit of annoyance and unhappiness on his face.
Today was the first day of school, so she basically had no class. When she was at school, he sent her several messages to ask her when she would get out of class and which gate she would go to. She didn't think too much and told him. To her surprise, he came to pick her up.
Of course, she was happy and pleasantly surprised. Regardless of other people, she trotted towards him.
James had just taken a draw on his cigarette when he slightly raised his eyes and saw Elizabeth running towards him. He smiled. "Slow down. I won't leave."
Elizabeth ignored his words and asked, "Why are you here? Aren't you busy with work?"
"Today is your first day of school, so I came to pick you up." As he said this, he stepped aside, threw the cigarette in his hand into the ashtray on the trash can. Then he came back and said while raising his eyebrows, "What's wrong? Don't you like me to pick you up?"
"I like it."
Hearing this, James smiled proudly and snorted haughtily, "I knew you would like it."
Elizabeth was speechless.
"Let's go, dear."
James wore the seat belt for her. Elizabeth thought for a while and said, "I've seen the timetable today. I don't have many classes this semester, and there is plenty of time."
"That's good. You don't have to go back and forth every day." James nodded and turned to wear the seat belt for himself, "By the way, honey, you can get your driving license these days. It will be more convenient for you to go to school."
Elizabeth pretended to be angry, "Don't you want to take me to school and bring me back?"
James reached out and flicked her forehead, "What are you talking about?" He didn't like the people in her school paying much attention to him, but this didn't mean that he didn't want to pick her up. "What if I happen to be busy one day? You dummy!"
Elizabeth blinked her eyes mischievously and said, "I know. I was just kidding."
"Well, I'll call the driver's school, and you find half a day to take the exam."
"What's wrong? Do you want to have a backdoor for me?" "It's called 'Green' channel!" As he said this, he reached out and rubbed her hair, "I can indeed make you do many things more easily than others, but this is an exception. For your safety, you have to get your driving license on your own and I won't help you. At most, I won't let you enter your name for the test on your own. Do you understand?"
Elizabeth stuck out her tongue and nodded with a smile, "I know." After saying that, she said in a dilemma, "But, do you think I can make it?" She was really scared when she went to practice driving the last time.
James started the car, "Of course you can! Don't worry!"
"Okay, I see. I'll try to pass the test at one blow."
"If so, I'll buy you a gift."
She reached out to pull his clothes, "Is that okay? You can cook whatever you want. I'm not picky."
James was speechless. Asking him to cook was enough to make things difficult for him!
After a long while, he said unwillingly as if he had had a mental struggle, "Let's talk about it after you pass the test."
"Don't worry. I will try my best!"
James didn't say anything.
Elizabeth didn't want to talk about this topic anymore, "Well... there is one more thing I want to tell you."
"Say it." James nodded, but he still looked unhappy.
"I'm going to work at Liang Company, aren't I? I want to... let my best friend, Evelyn, work with me. Is that okay?" Evelyn was a very kind and capable person. Moreover, Evelyn had helped and cared about her a lot. If she could work with Evelyn, that would be the best. The work would be steady and the salary would not be low. For Evelyn, it would be much better than doing part-time jobs somewhere else.
"Do you mean Evelyn Wu?"
Elizabeth didn't really think much about why he knew Evelyn's full name. She only thought that she had said it before, so she nodded and said, "Yes, she's very nice and very capable. Her drawing foundation is better than mine." "Sure, as long as you like it."
"Thank you, James." Elizabeth was very happy, and then she looked at the scene outside, "Hey, where are we going?"
