Chapter 408: Why does he always get hurt_1

James Churchill felt he shouldn’t say too much to this Jones idiot, lest he seize the opportunity to show off.

So, after giving Adam Jones a look of "shamelessness," he opened the door and walked out.

Seeing James’s dark expression, Adam picked up his spirits and arched an eyebrow, got out of bed, turned on the computer lying on the table, and prepared to deal with official business, waiting for his wife to bring him her lovingly made soup.

However, what he ended up awaiting was the news that the Old Master had been discharged from the hospital.

Adam Jones: "..."

Though he wished the old man good health, the thought of his ex-wife saying she would return to Alaska after the Old Master’s discharge didn’t lift his spirits.

When Robert Green arrived, he saw his boss in a visibly unhappy mood, which instantly made his heart skip a beat.

He distinctly remembered the last time he was relegated to the mailroom, his boss had that same expression on his face.

He walked in with some trepidation and called out softly, "President."

Adam Jones’s gaze swept indifferently over Robert Green, instantly making his scalp tingle.

He felt he needed to say something to distract his boss.

Thinking this, he said with a look of earnest integrity, "President, Sophie Baker has been transferred to the Prosecutor’s Office for trial. The prosecution will charge her with the crime of infringing and stealing others’ business secrets and, barring any surprises, she’ll be sentenced to seven to ten years."

"Mhm."

Adam responded deeply, showing no interest in anything related to Sophie Baker.

Seeing that his boss still had an expressionless face, Robert’s unease deepened.

Could it be that madam had upset the president again?

But why was it always him who suffered?

Robert Green felt very aggrieved.

The next second, he saw Adam Jones looking over at him, his eyes slowly narrowing, and thought what might be going through his dark pupils, but Robert felt a tightening of the scalp from being stared at.

"Pres... President..."

"Do you have a girlfriend?"

Huh????

Robert looked at Adam Jones with a bewildered face, utterly confused.

Why would the President ask such a question? Did he think Robert was so wrapped up in love that it interfered with his work?

Ha! As a dedicated assistant, how could he possibly be so unprofessional?

"No."

Adam’s face showed a hint of dissatisfaction, but he still patiently asked, "Have you ever had a girlfriend?"

Why was the President so concerned with his love life?

Robert’s inner turmoil intensified.

"No... Haven’t."

After Robert responded, he saw his boss’s face grow even more displeased.

"Have you ever pursued a girl?"

Adam Jones asked with a bit of impatience, his face growing stern.

And finally, Assistant Baker, who harbored the heart of a worried mother, vaguely guessed the president’s thoughts and answered:

"President, although I’ve never dated or pursued any girls, I have a lot of theoretical knowledge. If you wish to pursue madam, and if there’s anything you don’t understand, you can ask me. I’ll be sure to tell you all that I know, without reservation."

Adam Jones, having his thoughts directly poked by Robert Green, instantly felt uncomfortable, and looking at Robert’s loyally devoted expression, snorted coldly,

"Who told you I want to pursue madam? She’s already mine, do I still need to chase her?"

Robert Green: Heh!

"The president is right."

Adam sat in front of the computer, silently watching the emails sent by department heads, but his thoughts were not on them at all.

Seeing that Robert Green said nothing more after those words and also planning to listen to Robert’s extensive discourse, Adam instantly felt like he wanted to wring his neck.
