Chapter 37 Teach Him to Tie
Hellen didn’t pay attention to those people’s discussions. Instead, Mike glanced at them with a serious expression.
The people not far away immediately fell silent.
After entering the special elevator, Hellen teased with a smile, “You’re so intimidating.”This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
Mike scratched his head in embarrassment.
They arrived at the president’s office on the top floor.
The news of Everet’s injury had spread among the upper ranks. The Jovano family had no intention of keeping it a secret because it would make others doubt more.
The upper ranks of The Jovano Group all knew that Hellen had only come to stay for a time. There hadn’t been any major disturbance.
Everet had only been injured for two days, so there wasn’t too much official business. With Mike’s help, Hellen had finished handling everything in the morning.
In the afternoon, in the president’s office, Hellen sat before the desk and used Everet’s computer to log into the Jovano family’s surveillance network.
The Jovano family’s surveillance network was independent. She checked the surveillance video of last night, saw the cameras of the outer wall, found the one facing her window, and then watched it at eight times speed.
It wasn’t until she was about to reach home that her men paused.
She frowned. In the video, a frame of her window was turned from closed to open.
Then, everything was usual.
The surveillance cameras were covered.
It seemed that the person who sneaked into her bedroom was not only a thief.
She became serious. The Jovano family was her bottom line. Nobody was permitted to touch it.
However, who would attack The Jovano family? What was his purpose?
After thinking fruitlessly for a while, Hellen’s men quickly typed on the keyboard. Since he was in the dark, she had to re-establish the Jovano family’s protective net first.
Her men added a few more layers of protective walls to the monitoring network. After that, she called her friend.
The Jovano family’s security personnel were outsourced to her friend’s security company. Since someone could sneak in, they had to be replaced.
By the time everything was settled, it was already three o’clock in the afternoon.
Hellen messaged Luz, explaining that she wanted to invite him to be her male companion.
The young man agreed right away. “Hellen, what should I prepare?”
Hellen typed, “Nothing. Dinner is on the 20th. Which day is OK before that? I’ll take you to buy some clothes.”
Luz replied, “Every day.”
Hellen laughed, “Fine, I’ll pick you up at your school later.”
The Jovano Group didn’t have anything important to do today, so she went out after reading some recent cooperation materials.
Mike wanted to send her off but was rejected by her. “Although there’s nothing much in the company right now, you should stay here. Just call me.”
She took Mike’s car key and drove towards Tempe University.
When she arrived, she realized that Luz was already waiting in front of the school gate.
He was wearing the most ordinary plaid shirt, but with his thin figure and handsome face, he looked nobler.
“Hellen.” The instant he saw Hellen, he became active and his eyes lit up.
“Get in the car.”
When Luz got in the car and looked at her eagerly, Hellen laughed. “What’s wrong? Is there something wrong with my face?”
“No, no.”
They drove to the commercial street of Tempe City and entered the mall together.
After shopping in several stores, Luz had almost finished picking out his clothes. Now, he only lacked a tie.
When the shop assistant went to wrap clothes, Hellen saw the tie at the counter.
It was not in the display cabinet like the others. Instead, it was placed alone in a glass cabinet.
“What do you think of this tie? The color is not bad. It’s not too rigid, nor is it too old-fashioned.” Hellen took out the tie and tried it on Luz’s chest.
Luz’s Adam’s apple moved slightly. “I’m at your disposal.”
“Do you know how to tie it?” Hellen raised her head to look at him.
“No.”
Hellen laughed. “I’ll teach you. Watch carefully.”
She was so focused on tying that she didn’t notice that they were getting closer to each other.
Luz lowered his head and stared at Hellen’s hand.
He could smell the fragrance of her hair. For a moment, he was so nervous that he clenched his fists gently.
Hellen tied it well. “It’s almost done, just push it up.”
“I understand,” Luz said softly.
Hellen patted him on the arm. “OK. Wear this for the dinner.”
As soon as she finished speaking, she felt that something was wrong.
She turned around and saw a man being welcomed in by the assistant.
The man was dressed in a black suit with dark stripes. He was tall and straight, with an air of estrangement and nobility.
The corners of Hellen’s eyes twitched, “Hans? He’s really everywhere!”
Luz saw this as well, immediately feeling a bit nervous.
He had met Hans in the club before and later learned of his identity on the news.
He was Hellen’s ex-husband and a super jerk.
At the same time, he was also the current head of the Grant family, the powerful president of the Grant Group!
Hans saw Hellen as well. His eyes darkened as he shifted his gaze from Hellen to Luz.
They were close and ambiguous.
He became gloomy.
In the tense atmosphere, neither Hans nor Hellen said anything.
The assistant broke the silence. “Miss. Jovano, this tie has already been booked by Mr. Grant.”
Hellen frowned. No wonder it wasn’t outside but in the glass cabinet of this VIP room.
By the side, Luz was sullen and he was about to take off the tie. He did not want to wear the jerk’s thing.
However, he just learned how to make a tie. He wanted to untie it, but he quickly made a small knot.
Seeing that the tie had creases, Hellen asked, “Mr. Grant, can you yield this tie to me?”
Hans’ indifferent eyes turned to her with oppression. “No.”
The word was like ice chips, cold and straightforward.
After all, it was ordered by others. Since they couldn’t come to an agreement, Hellen had no reason to force him to give it up. She turned around and walked up to Luz. She said with a soft voice, “Don’t push hard. Untie it like this.”
She quickly untied the knot with her lithe and nimble fingers.
She took the tie and handed it to Hans. “I’m sorry, I don’t know it’s been ordered.”
There was a hint of alienation in her polite attitude.
Hans’ emotions were a little complicated. When he saw Hellen untying the tie for the model, he was even infuriated.
He thought of the incense at home and the nightdresses with old collars.
She had changed so much just because she lost her memory?
In front of him, Hellen was dressed in a slim black suit. She had a capable look on her face. She looked polite but was actually rather distant.
This was his ex-wife, the wooden beauty who never spoke loudly and was usually obsequious?
Seeing that Hans didn’t answer, Hellen raised her eyebrows slightly and asked in an indifferent voice, “Mr. Grant?”
Hans glanced at the tie in her hand but still did not stretch out his hand.
“I won’t use things that others have worn.”
“So are you going to give it up or not?” Hellen was rather angry.
“No.” Hans took the tie from her hand and threw it into the trash can next to him. “Even if I don’t want my things anymore, I won’t give them to anyone else.”
“Crazy!”
Hellen took a deep breath and restrained herself from losing her temper.
“Luz, let’s go.”
