Fortunate to Have You This Lifetime

Chapter 1279: Chapter 1279

Zara Jameson asked Jane McCain, "Do you think Allen Rivera is an idiot?"

"Of course not!" Jane McCain supported her boyfriend.

"Then what are you worried about?" Zara Jameson smiled, "You, take it easy just a bit."

Jane McCain fell silent.

She understood what Zara Jameson meant. The success Allen Rivera achieved today was inseparable from his keen observation. If her assistant had any malice toward Jane McCain, Allen Rivera would have noticed.

And the reason Zara Jameson asked Jane McCain to take it easy was probably due to her psychological issue...

Paranoia, always subconsciously magnifying things, making them more serious, more exaggerated.

Actually, speaking of this incident alone, it was just someone playing a prank, throwing a cockroach into the lunchbox, not causing any real harm to anyone.

Compared to the explicit and hidden struggles Jane McCain had seen in the modeling industry before, it was really insignificant.

Sometimes, young models would fight in incomprehensible ways, cutting up runway outfits, hiding nails in high heels, mixing disinfectant in makeup water, and some even went to Thailand to hire little ghosts, reportedly to bring bad luck to their competitors.

And what she encountered now was just a dead cockroach...

Dead insects could neither harm her body nor affect her feelings.

Jane McCain temporarily put this matter aside, deciding to observe for a while.

...

As Christmas approached, the streets were filled with a festive atmosphere, but there was no Christmas holiday in the judicial institution’s official holidays.

Jane McCain felt that her wish to spend Christmas with Allen Rivera was probably going to be dashed.

He was getting busier, as various reports and audit tasks were gradually coming down at the year-end, plus the endless cases waiting to be handled, he was almost working overtime until nine o’clock every day, sometimes even running to the office on weekends.

Their date plans were severely affected.

On Friday, they planned to watch a movie, and when Allen Rivera finally got off work, Jane McCain followed him to the parking lot to get the car.

After getting in the car, Allen Rivera didn’t start the car immediately.

He massaged his brow, his eyes filled with deep exhaustion.

Jane McCain observed his expression and felt that Allen Rivera was really tired. She couldn’t bear to make him drive back and forth, so she tentatively and softly suggested, "How about... we don’t go to the movie?"

Allen Rivera lifted his eyes to look at her, his smile faint and gentle, "I can only spend time with you once or twice a week, if we skip even those, what if someone else steals you away?"

Jane McCain pressed her lips together, muttering, "No one would steal me away..."

Allen Rivera chuckled at that, adjusted his seat, and opened his arms to Jane McCain, "Come here."

Jane McCain blushed as she leaned over.

Allen Rivera gently held her, kissed her forehead with his lips, and said, "Stay with me for a bit, after I rest for a while, I’ll take you to the movie."

Jane McCain lay still in his arms.

After a while, she noticed Allen Rivera’s hand around her loosened a bit, his breathing became steady, as if he had fallen asleep.

Jane McCain remained motionless.

Honestly, holding this posture in the car for a long time wasn’t comfortable, but Jane McCain didn’t want to wake him, so she stayed still.

Allen Rivera slept for about twenty minutes, more like a nap.

After he woke up, Jane McCain suggested, "Actually, we don’t have to go to the cinema to watch a movie. There’s a lot of people there, it’s hard to find a parking spot, and the round trip would take a long time. Why don’t we go back and watch? We can pay online and watch it streaming."

Allen Rivera also felt that the trip would waste time.

He started the car and drove off, and Jane McCain was a bit stunned, she had meant to go back to his office. Anywhere with a computer, internet, and two comfortable chairs would be perfect for watching a movie.

But it seemed Allen Rivera misunderstood, driving her back to his own home.
