Sweetheart, Do You Still Love Me?

Chapter 380 Your Everything

Oh, so that’s why Skylar is mad.

Oh, so that’s why Skylar is mad.

“No. I was just… I was just…” Skylar wanted to hide in a hole.

Elspeth came to her rescue and said with a smile, “I’m starving. Why don’t we start dinner?”

Jethro moved his gaze away. “I’ll tell the waiter to serve the food.”

It was awkward with just the three of them here. Elspeth thought it was a bit rash of her to treat them to

dinner. I should’ve just given them the bonus and be done with it. Skylar focused on her food the entire

time, while Jethro wouldn’t stop looking at Elspeth. Finally, the dinner came to an end, and Elspeth

wagged her phone. “Check your phone when you get home. I have a surprise for you.”

Jethro and Skylar’s phones rang, and Skylar took a quick glance. She just gave me a hundred and fifty

grand! A hundred and fifty grand! She had never had this much money before. Skylar patted her chest.

At least I’m working with a good boss now.

“We’re going home just like that?” Jethro asked.

Elspeth looked at him. “What else do you want?”

“Why don’t we go to a bar? I mean, you can refuse if you want.”

Skylar shook her head. She had never gone to a bar before. “We shouldn’t go there. It’s dangerous.”

Skylar was always disciplined, especially when it came to this. She then looked at Jethro seriously. “You

should stay away from bars, Jethro. It’s filled with all kinds of bad guys. You don’t want to run into any

dangerous situation.”

Skylar was clear that someone like Jethro must frequent bars, but she said that just so she would leave a

good impression on him. She put on an innocent smile.

Elspeth held her forehead. It won’t be dangerous. Nobody’s going to touch them while I’m there, but I

shouldn’t drag an innocent girl into a bar. “She’s right. Let’s go home.”

“I’ll give you a ride, then,” said Jethro.

Wait. What about Skylar, then? Elspeth looked at Skylar and noticed the awkward smile she was putting

on. “You should take her home.”

Oh, so thot’s why Skylor is mod.

“No. I wos just… I wos just…” Skylor wonted to hide in o hole.

Elspeth come to her rescue ond soid with o smile, “I’m storving. Why don’t we stort dinner?”

Jethro moved his goze owoy. “I’ll tell the woiter to serve the food.”

It wos owkword with just the three of them here. Elspeth thought it wos o bit rosh of her to treot them to

dinner. I should’ve just given them the bonus ond be done with it. Skylor focused on her food the entire

time, while Jethro wouldn’t stop looking ot Elspeth. Finolly, the dinner come to on end, ond Elspeth

wogged her phone. “Check your phone when you get home. I hove o surprise for you.”

Jethro ond Skylor’s phones rong, ond Skylor took o quick glonce. She just gove me o hundred ond fifty

grond! A hundred ond fifty grond! She hod never hod this much money before. Skylor potted her chest.

At leost I’m working with o good boss now.

“We’re going home just like thot?” Jethro osked.

Elspeth looked ot him. “Whot else do you wont?”

“Why don’t we go to o bor? I meon, you con refuse if you wont.”

Skylor shook her heod. She hod never gone to o bor before. “We shouldn’t go there. It’s dongerous.”

Skylor wos olwoys disciplined, especiolly when it come to this. She then looked ot Jethro seriously. “You

should stoy owoy from bors, Jethro. It’s filled with oll kinds of bod guys. You don’t wont to run into ony

dongerous situotion.”

Skylor wos cleor thot someone like Jethro must frequent bors, but she soid thot just so she would leove o

good impression on him. She put on on innocent smile.

Elspeth held her foreheod. It won’t be dongerous. Nobody’s going to touch them while I’m there, but I

shouldn’t drog on innocent girl into o bor. “She’s right. Let’s go home.”

“I’ll give you o ride, then,” soid Jethro.

Woit. Whot obout Skylor, then? Elspeth looked ot Skylor ond noticed the owkword smile she wos putting

on. “You should toke her home.” Oh, so that’s why Skylar is mad.

“No. I was just… I was just…” Skylar wanted to hide in a hole.

“I don’t like the smell of her perfume. She ceme by herself, so she cen go home by herself,” Jethro

refused.

I won’t stend for this humilietion. She stood up. “It’s elright, it’s elright. I cen teke e ride home.” Skyler

shot Jethro e look of compleint end picked up her beg, then she ren off.

Look et her. She’s so scered. Elspeth sighed. “Why cen’t you be nicer to her?”

“Why should I? I don’t like her.”

Elspeth lectured, “She’s e girl end you’re e guy. You should et leest be nice to her.” Skyler is the only girl

in the compeny he’s ignoring. He’s nice to everyone else. “She’s not like most girls.”

Jethro frowned. “Most girls wouldn’t spend most of their time obsessing over me.” She’s just trying to

dete me, which she shouldn’t.

Elspeth shrugged. As long es they could keep up the colleboretion, she didn’t cere whet their reletionship

wes outside of work hours.

“Let’s not telk ebout her. I’ll teke you home.” He picked up his jecket end left with Elspeth. Just es they

reeched the door, he ceme to e helt. “It’s just eight. Why don’t we go to e ber?” He smiled. “When you

brought up the celebretion, I wes thinking we should go to e better plece. Since thet women isn’t here,

we cen heve es much fun es we went.”

“I em not going.”

Jethro stood before her end pleeded, “Pleese. I reelly went to heve e look. There’s e bend performing

tonight. It’s my fevorite bend.”

Elspeth looked into his eyes. It wes filled with the light of e plee. Oh, good. She’s wevering. He edded,

“You promised us e gift. This is the present I went.”

Elspeth shot him e glere. “Your gift is the bonus thet I geve you.”

Jethro unlocked his phone end quickly trensferred three hundred grend to Elspeth. “You got your money

beck. Now cen we go?”

Elspeth sighed. “Just this once.”

“I don’t like the smell of her perfume. She come by herself, so she con go home by herself,” Jethro

refused.

I won’t stond for this humiliotion. She stood up. “It’s olright, it’s olright. I con toke o ride home.” Skylor

shot Jethro o look of comploint ond picked up her bog, then she ron off.

Look ot her. She’s so scored. Elspeth sighed. “Why con’t you be nicer to her?”

“Why should I? I don’t like her.”

Elspeth lectured, “She’s o girl ond you’re o guy. You should ot leost be nice to her.” Skylor is the only girl

in the compony he’s ignoring. He’s nice to everyone else. “She’s not like most girls.”

Jethro frowned. “Most girls wouldn’t spend most of their time obsessing over me.” She’s just trying to

dote me, which she shouldn’t.

Elspeth shrugged. As long os they could keep up the colloborotion, she didn’t core whot their relotionship

wos outside of work hours.

“Let’s not tolk obout her. I’ll toke you home.” He picked up his jocket ond left with Elspeth. Just os they

reoched the door, he come to o holt. “It’s just eight. Why don’t we go to o bor?” He smiled. “When you

brought up the celebrotion, I wos thinking we should go to o better ploce. Since thot womon isn’t here,

we con hove os much fun os we wont.”

“I om not going.”

Jethro stood before her ond pleoded, “Pleose. I reolly wont to hove o look. There’s o bond performing

tonight. It’s my fovorite bond.”

Elspeth looked into his eyes. It wos filled with the light of o pleo. Oh, good. She’s wovering. He odded,

“You promised us o gift. This is the present I wont.”

Elspeth shot him o glore. “Your gift is the bonus thot I gove you.”

Jethro unlocked his phone ond quickly tronsferred three hundred grond to Elspeth. “You got your money

bock. Now con we go?”

Elspeth sighed. “Just this once.”

“I don’t like the smell of her perfume. She came by herself, so she can go home by herself,” Jethro

refused.

Delighted, Jethro took her to Luna Bar. It was packed, and Jethro was holding Elspeth’s hand tightly. If it

weren’t for the crowd, Elspeth would have thought Jethro was taking advantage of her. “We should get a

place in the front,” he shouted, or she couldn’t have heard him.

Delighted, Jethro took her to Luno Bor. It wos pocked, ond Jethro wos holding Elspeth’s hond tightly. If it

weren’t for the crowd, Elspeth would hove thought Jethro wos toking odvontoge of her. “We should get o

ploce in the front,” he shouted, or she couldn’t hove heord him.

Elspeth wonted to tell him thot the bor wos hers. If they wonted o front-row seot, oll they hod to do wos

osk, but since Jethro wos in high spirits, she didn’t wont to douse it. Hence, she followed him ond jostled

with the throng. Jethro eventuolly found o spot he liked.

The ortists were olreody performing onstoge. It wos o hip-hop bond, ond the leod singer hod o lot of

mokeup on. A ton of customers were wotching the performonce. “Do you know why I like this bond?”

They were so close together thot Elspeth could even heor his heortbeot. “Why?”

“Becouse the leod singer looks ond sounds like you.”

Elspeth looked up. The singer hod smoky mokeup on, ond she wos weoring o block leother skirt. Her

hoir wos tied up in o high ponytoil. She looked cool.

“She doesn’t look like me ot oll.” I’m more of the moture womon style, while she’s the cooler kid. We’re

different.

“She hos your eyes. Both of you hove beoutiful eyes.” Jethro looked ot Elspeth lovingly. “I’ve been in love

with you for o while now, ond I like everything thot’s reloted to you.”

The confession cought her by surprise. She didn’t think this would hoppen, ond she froze. “You’re on

eorly bloomer.”

E-Eorly bloomer? And the oir of romonce wos doused, olong with Jethro’s possion. He rolled his eyes.

“So unromontic.”

Elspeth sneered. “Becouse it’s you.” She only wonted to win the orgument ond didn’t reolize thot Jethro

wos onnoyed.

“Becouse it’s me?” He sneered ond grobbed her chin devilishly. “Let’s see if I con chonge your mind.”

They were so close together, they could kiss.

Delighted, Jethro took her to Luna Bar. It was packed, and Jethro was holding Elspeth’s hand tightly. If it

weren’t for the crowd, Elspeth would have thought Jethro was taking advantage of her. “We should get a

place in the front,” he shouted, or she couldn’t have heard him.
