My Roomate Has Intentions Chapter 10

The light in the exhibition hall was a little dim. When Claire pulled Jade out, the midday sun made her squint slightly.

Jade raised a hand to block Claire's forehead. She was wearing high heels and her height was almost the same as Claire's. "It's a bit dazzling when you first come out. It will be better if you cover it up." Jade's hand cast a shadow on Claire's cheek. Claire lowered his eyes and smiled, "Thank you, boss."

"What are your plans next, Miss Tan?" Jade naturally put her arm on Claire's wrist, tilted her head and looked at Claire with a smile. She was wearing mirror lip gloss today, and her lips sparkled in the midday sun. Her lips were pink and tender, and Claire couldn't help but be attracted by her lips.

Those lips are plump and look very k!ssable.

I really want to...

Claire was immediately shocked by the thought that popped into his mind.

Looking at Jade's eyes, which were as soft as a pool of spring water, filled with tenderness, Claire's hands unconsciously clenched in her pockets. She turned her gaze to look at the red maple leaves behind Jade. This season belonged to maple leaves, and they were in full bloom. However, Claire felt that Jade's eyes were warmer than the red maple leaves. She didn't dare to look at them for fear of being indulged in them.

"Miss Tan?" Jade shook Claire's arm. Claire suddenly came back to his senses. He first uttered a panicked cry, and then pretended to be calm and replied: "Please come to have lunch with me, Miss Sheng?"

Claire brought Jade into the private room she had reserved early in the morning. They sat opposite each other. Jade held the wine glass and gently shook the bright red wine in the glass. She didn't have the habit of eating breakfast. She ate a sandwich in a hurry this morning and didn't feel hungry until now. Therefore, she just drank red wine in small sips and watched Claire opposite her eating meat with big mouthfuls.

Although Claire seemed to be concentrating on eating, he was actually nervously waiting for news from his friend.

The phone vibrated in his pocket, and Claire immediately took it out to check:

[The items have been packed according to your request and will be delivered soon. ]

Claire felt relieved and breathed a sigh of relief. Jade saw her staring at the phone screen and smiled, so he asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

Claire looked up and smiled at Jade, with a playful and well-behaved look, "Nothing."

Jade was stunned for a moment and put down her wine glass. She had drunk countless glasses of red wine without realizing it. She was a little drunk now. "Have you finished eating? Shall we go home?"

As she spoke, she picked up her clothes and was about to leave. Claire stood up hurriedly and pulled Jade, "Wait a minute, I still haven't taken something."

Jade was pulled to sit down by Claire without knowing what was going on. Her bag and clothes were clearly there, so what exactly did Claire want to take?

After waiting for about ten minutes, a waiter knocked on the door of their private room. Claire took a gift box from the waiter and politely saw the waiter off. Then, Claire held the gift box in both hands and walked up to Jade.

Her clear eyes flashed with lively light, and her eyelashes were long and straight, making them look even more innocent, like a deer patrolling in the woods, or a happy and flattering puppy. "Leader, this is for you."

She held the gift box in front of Jade as if she was presenting a treasure.

Jade took it and was a little surprised. She didn't expect that what she was waiting for was a gift for her. Holding the gift box, Manager Sheng, who was always decisive and responsive, was actually a little at a loss. "For me?" she asked uncertainly.

"Yeah, open it and see if you like it."

Jade untied the complicated ribbon bit by bit, and a blue morpho butterfly quietly lay in the gift box. The brilliant color was more beautiful than the one on her desk. The blue morpho butterfly was dotted with moonstones, and it was hazy under the reflection of sunlight.

"Ms. Sheng, happy birthday." Claire leaned over and whispered in Jade's ear. This was the first time she was so bold and proactive in approaching Jade. With the help of the alcohol, she looked at her greedily and boldly. She tried her best to conceal her unpredictable emotions and desires.

"Thank you, I like it very much." She heard Jade say.

"Can I have a reward then?" she heard herself ask.

As the alcohol gradually took over, she pursed her lips and finally asked, "Can I hug you?"

Jade answered her by hugging her in his arms.

Two slender arms were wrapped around her shoulders, and she raised her hands to gently hug Jade. Her palms were on Jade's protruding shoulder blades. Jade's shallow breathing brushed past her ears from time to time, with a hint of alcohol. Claire was not drunk at first, but after being sobered up like this, he became a little unconscious.

I really want to hug you tighter.

But Claire still had her sanity. She was afraid that she would upset Jade by overstepping her authority, so Claire gently let go of Jade, looked into her eyes, and said, "Let's go. You're a little drunk."

Jade refused to leave, and she dragged Claire to drink a lot of wine. Finally, they were completely drunk. Claire held Jade with one hand, held something with the other hand, and called a designated driver to take them home.

The residential complex where they shared an apartment was located in the old city, on the easternmost side, and the exhibition hall was on the westernmost side. It took about forty minutes to drive there. Jade had already fallen asleep on Claire's shoulder, with her hair hanging loosely on her temples, covering half of her face, like a cat that rarely retracted its claws. Claire felt Jade's even breathing, silently hoping that the journey home would be longer and longer, preferably leading to the end of time.

The road surface of the alley next to the residential area has been in disrepair for a long time. The cement road has been weathered for more than ten years and is already bumpy. Feeling the bumps of the car body, Jade hummed softly, and subconsciously clenched Claire's fingers tightly with one hand. His head also moved towards Claire's neck as he swayed, feeling the roughness on his skin, and Claire's heart seemed to be disturbed.

She raised her chin and tapped Jade's head lightly. When they got downstairs, Claire was reluctant to disturb Jade, so she asked the driver to stop the car and drive away. The driver looked at Claire with a strange look, but finally did as she said.

The environment became quiet again, and Jade's breathing gradually became slow. Claire finally felt that it was time to take Jade home. She held her in her arms, just like she had done before when Jade was sleepwalking, and went upstairs steadily.

Just as she laid Jade flat on her bed, Jade's cell phone suddenly rang, which was particularly loud in the quiet environment. Claire frowned. Jade was indeed woken up by the noise. She frowned slightly, but she did not raise her hand to take out her cell phone. Claire took the phone out of her coat pocket for her, and the three big words "Chen Kejun" flashed on the screen.

"It's Chen Kejun, do you want to answer it?"

Jade mumbled something indistinctly and asked Claire to answer the phone for her. Claire half-closed the door and answered the phone, "Hello."

Her voice was uncontrollably cold, just like Jade's usual state when facing outsiders.

The man on the other end obviously didn't notice that it wasn't Jade who answered the phone. His gloomy male voice was somewhat cruel and his tone was eerie and a little creepy: "Come downstairs. I'm downstairs at your house."
