Chapter 9 Repeated Embarrassments

In an instant, Jane felt embarrassed for someone encountering her and Edward under such an occasion. How could she face others if this spread out?

Jane flushed, and took her hands out of his control. Edward became serious quickly, tidying up his straight suit and standing beside Jane.

Seeing the old man walking over on crutches, he nodded obediently and smiled, "Grandpa."

Jane's scalp prickled, and her heart beat like a drum, showing that she was nervous.

She looked at this old man dressed in Tang suit. He was with a serious face, very majestic, and his hair was well combing that even a super fan would not make it messy. She hurriedly stood in place, put her hands together in front of her belly, and then bent over and bowed deeply, "He-, hello, Grandpa Pike!"

Edward was surprised to see her nervous and respectful appearance, and then couldn't help but want to laugh. Huh, he almost forgot that this woman was a teacher, so she respected the elders and was a good example of others. Huh, that was great.

Old Master Pike saw a girl wearing a red Gucci tube top dress with a hollow-carved design on its back. She had a graceful figure, with red lips, white teeth, bright eyes, and a beautiful face. He felt that she was worthy of Ed, but he didn't know her characters yet.

Jane felt uncomfortable being looked at by Old Master Pike in this way, and she felt that she had become the pork on the market and was looked by buyers while they turned her round after round.

Edward stepped forward to Jane and took her hand. Jane was startled, looked at him with her eyes wide-opened, but he had a big smile on his face, "Nice girl. You even know to call him grandpa before I tell you about that."

Jane's face blushed, but before she had reacted, she was already dragged by Edward and walked to Old Master Pike. He smiled as he introduced, "Grandpa, this is Jane. I've told you about her before. She is a teacher."

Old Master Pike's expression changed a bit when he heard her job. Seeing this, Edward squeezed Jane's hand secretly.

Jane nodded and saluted again, "Grandpa, I'm Jane Sidney."

Old Master Pike took a glance at Jane, and then Edward, asking seriously with a sullen face, "What were you doing just now?"

Jane shook her head immediately, "Nothing." She looked at Edward as she answered.

Edward took a glance at her and then turned to Old Master Pike, "Hum."

"I'm afraid Ed bullied you just now!" Old Master Pike's face was still serious. His cold gaze swept toward Edward.

Edward's eyes widened, and then he smiled, "How could I do that to her? I'm very nice to her." He answered as he raised his hand to put it on Jane's shoulder. Her delicate skin gave him a feeling that he wanted to get closer to her and grope more about her.

Except for her brother, Jane had never been so close to a man. At this moment, Edward's manly breath came to her nose, making her blush repeatedly, and her heart racing.

"Hum? Tell grandpa. I don't want him to misunderstand me." Edward smiled, and his big hand gently rubbed Jane's shoulder. Even his gaze toward Jane's eyes became a little gentle.

Jane opened her red lips slightly to look at him, and then recalled to her senses immediately. She shook her head to Old Master Pike hurriedly, "Thank you for your concern, Grandpa Pike. Ed, he didn't bully me."

Old Master Pike glanced at them and turned to leave. His assistant Jacob York nodded at Edward and Jane and turned to follow Old Master Pike.

Seeing this, Jane finally let out a sigh of relief and relaxed.

Edward's big hand was still resting on Jane's shoulder. He turned his head and looked at Jane with interest, his eyes drifting all over her.

She looked good in this dress. This red Gucci tube top dress with a hollow-carved design on its back magnified her figure perfectly. Edward was a little more confident about his taste.

After Jane relaxed, she turned to look at Edward and found that he had been touching her shoulder for a long time. She quickly knocked out his hand and stepped back.

With her neck red, she tried to be tough, "Apologize!"

"..." Edward was helpless. But seeing her face flushed, he suddenly thought of what had happened just now...

"Okay, I apologize. I really didn't mean it." Edward raised both of his hands, showing that he surrendered.

Seeing his attitude like this, Jane started to think that she shouldn't treat him like that, either. After all, it meant no good for her to blame him for this all the time. Besides, now that they had signed the agreement, it would be embarrassing if they got pretty intense with each other.

"Behave yourself!" Jane hummed.

"Don't worry, I'm very disciplined." Edward nodded, seeming completely harmless.

Jane pouted, thinking that it would be better to end this dinner as soon as possible, but when she thought of the red dress she was wearing...

"Um, I... don't really want to wear this dress." She frowned, and she almost screwed up her face in a scowl.

Edward looked at her and chuckled softly, "I think it's suitable... Why don't you want to wear it? It doesn't look good? I think it looks fine. From the perspective of art and clothing, it's perfect."

Jane pursed her mouth, not knowing whether he really meant it to praise her or not. She also didn't know whether he was praising the Gucci dress or her.

"I feel cold... if my back is exposed." Jane had to make an excuse, "I want to change the dress."

"Well..." Edward was well aware that she was making excuses, but he really wanted to see her in this dress, so he refuted, "But we don't have enough time to get you a proper dress. Besides, grandpa is already here as you have seen. If we don't follow him upstairs, I'm afraid his expression will be more sullen."

Jane was stunned, recalling his gloomy face before...

After hesitating, Sean coughed lightly outside the door and whispered, "Boss, Miss Sidney, Old Master Pike is expecting you."

"See?" Edward motioned to Jane.

Jane wrung her small hands, looked at Sean first, and then Edward. Edward made a decisive decision, took her hand, and walked outside, "Let's go and eat!"

"Not now. I haven't changed my shoes yet." Speaking of shoes, Jane felt frustrated when she thought of the eight-centimeter high heels.

Edward pulled her to the chair and pressed her down directly, "Shoes."

Without hesitating, Sean held a pair of exquisite Christian-Louboutin high heels respectfully. Edward took the high heels over and squatted to put the shoes on Jane. Jane blushed with surprise, "What are you doing?"

"Put on the shoes for you." Edward raised his eyes to look at her, "Any problem?"

"Um, I don't need your help. I can do it by myself." Of course Jane would not let him get close to her. They were not that familiar.

Edward didn't insist, just handed her the shoes, and then stood there waiting for her.

Jane didn't want to keep him waiting, so she put on the high heels quickly, but the fear of eight centimeters still made her a little distraught.

"I may walk very slowly. Wait for me." Jane tried to step forward and said to Edward.
