"Okay." Jombo nodded. "Your clinic in M Nation's a nice one. Boristopher frequents it since it's hard for a doctor to treat himself. He needs a professional opinion from other doctors."
‘Oh, I'm just an amateur compared to him.' Selena smiled sheepishly. ‘Your previous treatment has been going well, Grandpa. You should keep at it.'
"I think I should. My back's been really sore lately. I think I'll go back once everything's settled down here." Jombo fiddled with the board.
"What business do you have here?" Zayn asked casually. "I'll handle the company, so don't worry about it." Finally. Zayn grasped the chance to talk about it.
"I know you can handle it." Jombo gazed into him. "But what about your personal problems?"
Zayn froze. "What's that supposed to mean?"
"Selena's a good girl." Jombo peered at Selena. "You should talk to her more."
Zayn frowned. He was about to fly into a rage, but then he remembered something. Jombo will go back to M Nation if I pretend to date Selena, and he wouldn't bother me anymore. I can also take the time to settle business with Carla.
Zayn nodded. "Yeah, she's a nice girl. I can try dating her."
"Really?" Jombo was overjoyed, and Selena was stunned. She had been waiting for him to say that for the longest time.
"Of course." Zayn didn't show too much enthusiasm, or it'd be too fake. "I can date her and see what happens."
"Good. Very good. Excellent." Jombo nodded in exuberance. "You'll see how nice Selena is once you get along with her."
"Yeah, yeah, I know." Zayn gave her a shrimp dumpling. Touched, Selena smiled gently at him.
Jombo was overjoyed to see that, and he didn't want to get between the ‘couple, ' so he said, "Whoops, I'm getting sleepy after I had something to eat. Must be my age acting up. I'll go to my room now. You guys go ahead without me." He patted Selena's hand and gave her a cryptic look.
Thompson took Jombo back to his room, and Zayn put his cutlery down. "I'm done with supper, so I'm taking you to your room." He took Selena to her room upstairs.
Jombo turned around and whispered to Thompson, "Go and see if that kid's doing what he said he would. He's one little trickster, that boy is. This might also be his lie."
"I don't think so." Thompson was confident in Zayn's promise. "The young master has always been an arrogant one. He can't pretend to like someone he doesn't."
"True." Jombo nodded. "He hates putting on pretenses. That kid was cold to Selena, but he's changed quite a bit."
"Maybe he's sympathizing with her, " Thompson analyzed. "Pity is the first step to love, you see. Well, some say friendship is."
"You have a point." Jombo nodded. "Still, take a look just in case."
"Very well then. After I take you to your room." Thompson went upstairs in silence after taking Jombo to his room.
At the same time, Zayn took Selena back to her room, placed her on her bed, leaned closer, and whispered, "Looks like Grandpa really wants us to be together. Why don't you work with me here? I want him to stop bothering me."
Selena stiffened up, but she quickly gave him a gentle smile. ‘I see. I'll do it.'
"Thanks." He nodded. "I owe you one, and I'll be sure to pay you back."
‘It's fine. I want to do this.' Selena suddenly hugged Zayn and kissed him because she saw someone outside her room.
