BossNovelChapter 1452
"Hey, Jackson! Just spotted Fiona."
Jackson's hand holding the glass hesitated for a split second, but then he casually took a sip, draining the whole
glass with a cool demeanor.
"I checked on her. Looks like she's having dinner with sguy," Adam said, settling in next to Jackson. "Seems
like you're losing your charm, man. | suggested you invite your sister for dinner, remember? But she ditched you
for another guy's invitation."
Jackson's face stayed impassive. He set his glass down gently and turned to Adam, his voice low and hard to
read. "Adam."
"What's up, Jackson?"
Adam straightened up, thinking Jackson might ask him to crash the date.
He was ready to step in!
"There's a project in Africa that needs someone. Put your current tasks on hold and make tto go." To Adam,
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthis sounded like being told to prepare for a one-way trip to nowhere.
He nearly toppled off his chair.
"Seriously, Jackson? What's that about? I've been busting my hump and haven't ticked you off, right?" "And | just
got injured, nearly kicked the bucket on the operating table. I'm still healing, and now you want to shipoff to
Africa? Have a heart, man!"
Jackson's expression stayed icy. "You seem to have sfree time; you could use the trip."
"Alright, alright, my bad, I'll zip it."
Adam wisely shut his mouth, fearing if he didn't, he'd end up on the next flight.
Was Jackson really upset? He just made a passing comment and it hit a nerve.
"Hey, Jackson, you're not actually into Fiona, are you?" Adam's heart did a little flip as he whispered, "Are you
jealous?"
Though he often joked about the two, the thought of it actually happening made Adam uneasy.. "Con,
Jackson, there are foads of women out there. We don't need to be creeps, right?"
"Fiona's so young, not even of age yet. Let's teave her be, okay? If you're looking for a date, I've got
connections. | can introduce you to tons of women, whatever your type!"
Adam was getting carried away, almost ready to start scrolling through his phone for potential matches. But just
then, Jackson's calm voice cut through: "She's of age."
Adam was floored.
He stared at Jackson, dumbfounded.
What?
What did Jackson just say?
What's he getting at?
"Does he mean she's fair gnow, or is he saying he's above such thoughts?"
Adam was baffled.
Jackson walked out, pausing briefly to lean against the hallway wall, then straightened up and made his way to
where Adam said Fiona was having dinner with the guy.
