I Only Want You novel Chapter 38

In the CEO office of Lu Enterprises.

Placed in front of James Lu was an endless pile of documents.

The office temperature was perfectly conditioned. James took off his suit jacket and draped it casually over the office chair. He straightened his back in his white shirt as he carefully read through the documents on the desk.

People always say that a man is hot when he works hard. At this moment, there was a rigorous and careful expression on his handsome face, and he exuded a mature and steadfast charm.

Samuel Lee pushed open the door and walked in. He flattered him, "You don't know how many young ladies would pass out if they ever saw you at work, boss."

His boss really was the most handsome and capable man he knew. Other than his occasional temper tantrums, he really couldn't find a single fault on him.

James signed his name on a document without raising his head. "I don't see you working any harder, but you are getting better and better at kissing ass!"

Samuel smiled awkwardly. "Ha! I do both, you know what's best for sure, boss."

The last document was finally finished. James closed his pen and moved his sore shoulders. "Tell me, what's the matter?"

"The contract with Startlight has been drawn up, please take a look." With this, Samuel handed the contract to James with both hands.

After reading through it carefully, James nodded. "Very good."

"But boss, didn't you always refuse to work with Startlight? Why did you suddenly..."

James raised his eyebrows. "I suddenly wanted to work with them. I can't do that?"

"Of course you can!" Samuel quickly responded, "Speaking of which, looks like Startlight's show this time is gonna be big. We invested 300 million at once, with the momentum it has right now we're gonna make some big bucks out of this."

James smiled. "Of course we're gonna make money, after all, I invested for the return. But..." He agreed to work with Startlight mostly because he just couldn't stand Theodore Chao.

"But what?" Samuel looked extremely curious.

"But I don't want to tell you!" James put on an arrogant face. "We'll go with this contract. Tell Simon Wang to send someone over tomorrow to sign the deal. You can leave now."

Samuel failed to get an answer and it felt like an itch that he couldn't scratch. However, he had no choice but to submit to his boss's authority, and head out with his head drooped low.

James grunted and picked up his phone. He opened the WeChat group for his three-man gang, and sent a voice message-

chapter 38 "Come out for a drink."

When James arrived at the Grand Dynasty Hotel, Benjamin Cheng and Isaac Bai were already there and discussing the recent World Cup.

James looked at Isaac and snorted, "Looks like you're not busy at all."

Isaac wasn't bothered whatsoever. "I just finished lecturing a few students. As a teacher, it is important for me to impart my lifetime of knowledge, but also to enjoy life for what it is."

"What lifetime of knowledge? Your students would be lucky if you don't veer them off course."

Isaac was not happy to hear that. "Just be honest if you envy that I have students! How could a capitalist like you understand the joy of teaching?"

"Okay, you won this time Jimmy!" Isaac said, and then looked at Benjamin. "Ben, dude, can you believe Jimmy got hitched before you? Who'd have thought?"

Ignoring Isaac, Benjamin put on an even more serious expression than usual.

"You really did it?"

"Of course I did." James frowned in annoyance. "Am I THAT untrustworthy?"

"It's not that we didn't believe you, we just didn't expect it to be this fast!" Isaac waved around the marriage certificate in his hand. "I mean, you and... you know, have been together for more than ten years. We just didn't think that you would give her up to marry someone you've known for less than a month!"

Hearing this, James chuckled, with a hint of loneliness and reluctance in his eyes. "You know, even when we were at the courthouse yesterday, I was dreaming that if she came back, I could forget everything that's happened and be with her again. But well, her phone was off..." He lit a cigarette for himself and took two deep puffs before continuing, "Maybe it was always meant to be this way. I guess... she was never going to be mine in the end!"

Benjamin frowned and thought for a while. "Are you sure you want to spend the rest of your life with someone you don't have feelings for?"

"We're registered already, how am I not sure? Besides, most people like us have arranged marriages anyway. They're not marrying for love either, so how is this any different?" Thinking of what happened yesterday, James smiled. "That girl...it's hard to tell if she's too bold or too weak."

Isaac raised his eyebrows. "What do you mean?"

"She had the balls to marry me just to take back the Liang Company. She was obviously scared and worried, but acted like it didn't bother her at all. But when I told her we're gonna go home, she was so moved that she started to tear up."

"Since you've made the decision and got the certificate...treat her right.” Benjamin raised his glass, "I'm not happy that you tied the knot before me, but hey, you deserve to be congratulated!"

"Congratulations, Jimmy."
