Alex had just left the hospital and was on his way back home when he passed by Portabello Street,which was famous for selling antiques. As there were many cars and passers–by ahead, it caused amassive traffic jam.
Alex wound the window down so he could smoke. He glanced out and saw stalls all around him.
The street itself housed many little antique shops. On weekends, it was lined with makeshift stalls bythe
street.
Some street vendors had spread a thin mat by the street and placed the antiques on their mat for sale.
Alex glanced at the stalls and noticed there weren’t any genuine items at all. The street vendors weremerely deceiving the clueless customers and tourists.
Many tourists were holding the fake antiques they had bought happily as they thought they had gottena good deal.
Suddenly, a familiar figure appeared in Alex’s line of sight.
The figure was dressed in a white crop top, grey shorts, and white sneakers.
It was Jessica. Without her professional suit, she looked like a young and lively college student.
Right then, Jessica happened to spot Alex as well.
“Mr. Jefferson,” Jessica came over and smiled at him sweetly.
“Are you here to buy antiques?” Alex asked with a faint smile.
“Yes. My grandma is celebrating her 70th birthday tonight. I was thinking of buying a gift for her. Sinceshe loves bracelets, I thought I’d find one here,” Jessica revealed.
“These antiques sold by the street vendors are mostly fake. Don’t get deceived by them,” Alexreminded her.
Jessica’s eyes lit up as she exclaimed, “Mr. Jefferson, you’re an expert in antiques, right? Can you helpme pick a gift?”

Alex hesitated, but the traffic congestion wasn’t going to relieve anytime soon. Hence, he nodded.“Okay. Let me park my car.”
He reversed his car and entered a parking lot.
Jessica was delighted when Alex agreed to help her readily.
After parking his car, Alex came down to help Jessica with her gift.
“Mr. Jefferson, do you have anything else on for the afternoon?” Jessica inquired.
“No.” Alex shook his head. He had planned to head to the company at first but eventually decidedagainst it because there was nothing he could do there.
“Then, can I…” Jessica trailed off hesitantly when she met his eyes.

Alex was amused by her reaction. “Go ahead and say it. I’ll help you if it’s within my means.”
He guessed Jessica wanted to lend some money from him as real antiques weren’t cheap and wouldcost at least millions.
Jessica had even borrowed money from him to buy her house, so he thought she needed money tobuy antiques.novelbin
Jessica stopped hesitating and asked him frankly, “Can I invite you to my grandma’s birthday dinner?”She stared at Alex earnestly, her gaze unwavering.
Alex was stunned as he didn’t expect Jessica to invite him to her grandma’s birthday dinner. Hethought about it and nodded. “Sure, no problem.”
Dinner wouldn’t take up much time, so Alex agreed without much thought as he was quite satisfied withhis secretary’s performance.
“Mr. Jefferson, thank you,” Jessica grabbed his arm excitedly. If he wasn’t her superior, she would’veplanted a kiss on his face straight away.
“I can attend your grandma’s birthday dinner on one condition – you can’t reveal my identity,” Alexreminded her.
