Daddy, don't flirt

Chapter 19 Will I let go of you to let you run away again

“Of course.” Jamie answers. Then she takes out the drafts which she draws at her spare time.

The director picks up the draft and glances, Jamie’s skill and ability are full shown from the draft. The director is surprised.

Every draft is indeed a piece of good work, with the unique idea’s of the designer. Bold style and colors, fierce but also soft, is really rare and high-level in the industry. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Based on these works, the director has already decided to hire Jamie. But before that, he needs to report to the President. Cos before Jamie arrived, the President has already told them that he needs to interview the designer by himself this time. No one knows why the President does it this time, because he has never done this before.

The director calls to the President office with inner line, then he asks for his assistant, says,” Emily, show Miss Jamie to the President office.”

“ Ok, director.” Emily nods and walks to Jamie.

“ Follow me.” Emily says to Jamie. Then she leads to the elevator, pressing down the number, flirting her hair. A strong smell of Channel fragrance comes out.

Getting inside the elevator, Emily takes out her mirror to fresh up. Through the mirror, she sees Jamie who seems to wear no make up at all. Emily sneers, nowadays, no one will leave the door without make up, this girl is a skillful one for make up. Emily thinks.

Knock, Knock.

Emily knocks the closed door, flirting says,” President, the interviewer has arrived.”

There is a strict rule on C&R, beside President and his office, no one can get inside the President office without permission, no even those who comes to visit the president. For those visitors, they can only wait in the break room until the President asks for them. Thus, all the women in C&S eager for the president’s favor, getting inside to that ‘holly’ door.

“Let her in.” a rumble voice comes out behind the door.

What?! Emily can’t believe that the President will let this woman go inside directly, inside the room.

Jamie doesn’t know the rule of C&R. She taps Emily’s shoulder, asks,” Can I go inside now?” Which means Emily is standing on her way.

Emily steps aside unwillingly, looking at Jamie with jealousy. She has been working at C&R for almost three years, and she can’t get through that door. How come a silly interview can get inside.

Jamie takes a deep breathe, and breaths out slowly. Then she opens the door and walks in.

“ Long time no see, Jamie.” Behind the desk, a swivel chair is facing toward a huge french casement, then a familiar face is shown after the chair is turned around.

Jamie looks at the face in front of her and her legs are paralyzed.. It’s him, Dan William.

Jamie turns around and tries to run away, but gets pulled on her wrist. Stepping backward unsteadily, she falls into a pair of arms, a hug with slightly mint smell.

“Still want to run away? You made it 5 year ago. Now you show yourself to me, don’t even think to run away again.” Dan says near to Jamie ears, Jamie can feel his breath on her skin, which made her blushed.

She doesn’t show herself to Dan. Right, it’s Wendy! Jamie realizes it.

No wonder Wendy keeps saying a lot nice words for C&R. Wendy told Jamie last night that she has helped Jamie to send out her resume to the C&R, which made Jamie wonder how this lazy person becomes so enthusiastic at that time.

It turns out that Emily has sold her out.

“Let go of me first.” Jamie bits her lower lip, and her palms also sweat because of nervous,

“Let you go? To let you run away again?” Dan smiles. Jamie understands him so well, that she knows what his laugh means. Dan is angry.

Jamie keeps struggling, but gets held harder by Dan. His arms are like iron, making Jamie felt uncomfortable.

“Dan William, let go of me first. I promise that I won’t run away this time. Where can I escape when I’m on your domain.” Jamie doesn’t realize that Dan is still bossy, even after 5 years.

Noticing the discomfort of Jamie, Dan let go of her. He keeps watching at Jamie.

Jamie left in hurry five years ago. So she won’t know that Dan has checked out all her background.

So when Jamie comes here in female dress, she gets found out by Dan immediately.

Dan is more mature than five year ago, but also feels more strange too.

But everyone must have changed within five years.

Jamie smiles bitterly, which makes Dan nervous and scares about it. Dan let loose his hands against the door, and turns back to his desk, sitting down.

Jamie doesn’t know what to do next, her face turns a bit reddish.

Dan smiles seeing Jamie acting like this, says,” Don’t you come here for interviewing? Come here.”

Jamie walks to Dan dully. Standing in front of the desk, Jamie feels like she can’t breathe anymore.

Jamie is afraid of height.

“Where have you been for five years?” Dan asks when he is typing, looking casually.

Jamie looks up with surprised, this question seems has nothing to do with her interviewing.

“Spain.” Jamie answers.

Dan stops typing and looks up, watching Jamie. The sunlight shines from behind, as if Dan is glowing.

“What were you doing in Spain.” Dan looks a bit tired, which Jamie has never seen him like this before. But it just lasts for a second, then Dan becomes cool again.

“Just working.” Jamie lies. When she was giving birth to Ian in Spain, she couldn’t go out to work. She couldn’t be where she is now, if it wasn’t the help from Chris in Spain.

Dan knows that Jamie doesn’t tell him the truth, but he doesn’t angry about this. Looking at Jamie, who hasn’t aged a bit for the pass five years, Dan has a misconception that they have never be apart.

“Why didn’t you tell me when you left five years ago, and when did you come back?” Dan asks coldly.

“I didn’t have time when I came back the day before yesterday.” Jamie answers with her head down. She is afraid of having eye contact.

“You have learned how to lie during these five years.” Dan stands up suddenly and walks in front to Jamie, squeezing her chin to make her looked at him. Biting her low lip, Jamie is about to cry, which makes Dan felt pity.

Dan softens his indifference, touching Jamie’s lips. Thinking about the old time.
