Chapter 993: It Should Be Fine To Accept...

Understanding whose call it must be, Jake pushed Noah, got out of the bed, and stepped towards the door as he heard Noah.

"You can use my room as I won't be here most of the nights."

Jake tightened his fists but didn't turn to look at Noah, "I will be in the living room. Can't be a bother when you would want to bring your girls to your room."

Jake went out with his bag, and Noah turned silent. Jake went to the living room. Keeping his bag to one side, he sat on the sofa.

Sighing out on his actions, Jake thought, 'I should not act like this. I can't stop him from living his life just because of what I feel for him. Things are turning worse; I wish we can keep being friends like before.'

Jake tried to understand Noah and his life, but the next moment he frowned, and so many thoughts rushed in his mind, 'Damn, I know I'm wrong, but can't stop acting like this. I just can't give up on him...why can't I? Why do I want to be by his side? It will just ruin our friendship...I should move out from here.'

Jake was about to get up to leave the place but stopped as the thought of not being able to see Noah troubled him. Moreover, he was already away for some time, which was unbearable for him.

'If I move out, I wouldn't be able to see him often. Let's be with him till I return to England. That should be enough, isn't it?'

Jake continued to talk in his mind about various things and, in the end, decided to stay back. Many years passed by since they were together like a body and its shadow, so it was not easy to cut it quickly. Moreover, now the feelings were different, other than just friendship.

Noah came out of his room and stood near the sofa. "You can stay in another room."

Jake looked at him, and Noah pointed towards one door, "there is another bedroom."

Nodding, Jake stood up, "I need to freshen up."

Jake carried his bag to the room and went to freshen up while Noah went to his room. In a while, both came to the living room, dressed up in the suit.

Noah looked at Jake in surprise, "Where are you going?"

"You are not the only one who is busy. I'm here for business reasons," came the cold reply from the cold guy.

"So you accepted to work in China?" Noah asked.

"Not yet," Jake answered.

Just then, the doorbell rang, and Noah opened the door. Getting the parcel from the delivery man, he spoke, "Let's have breakfast."

The two had breakfast silently while speaking in between and left for work, where one car was already waiting for Jake in front of the building to pick him up.

Looking at the luxury car, Noah teased, "Wooh, as expected of his highness."

"Do you want to get in?" Jake asked.

"I'm fine with what my company gave me. See you," Noah went to his car while Jake hopped into his.

At Lu Corporations...

Lu Lijun was sitting in his chair while staring at the gift kept on his work table, which he got from Jiang Yuyan. It was the watch his brother liked, and with it once again, Lu Lijun remembered the memories from old times.

Just then, there was a knock on the door, and Noah entered the office. Good Morning, Fourth young master," Noah wished as he smiled lightly.

Lu Lijun glared at him, "Are you in a mood to piss me off?" Lu Lijun didn't want Noah to call him like that, at least not when they were alone.

"But to me, it seems like you are already troubled with something," Noah countered and noticed the box kept on the table, which had one expensive and stylish watch.

"Wooh, who is it for?" Noah asked as he picked it up.

"For me," Lu Lijun replied. "It's a gift from president Lu," he informed before Noah would ask those obvious questions.

"No wonder it looks really nice," Noah commented.

"It belongs to my elder brother," Lu Lijun added.

Noah had nothing to say about it as he stayed quiet for a moment. He could understand it must be a really emotional thing for Lu Lijun.

"Why are you just looking at it then?" Noah asked.

"Not sure if I should accept it or not," Lu Lijun answered and stood up to go towards the window.

"If president Lu has gifted you, then you should as if it meant for you," Noah suggested.

Looking out of the window, Lu Lijun sighed and stayed silent.

Noah knew, whenever Lu Lijun didn't want to show what was going on in his mind, he would always face his back to others and stay silent.

"Would it be fine to accept everything from my brother?" Lu Lijun mumbled.

Noah could hear him but preferred to change the topic.

"For now, wear this watch. Let me see how it looks," Noah picked up the watch and gave it to Lu Lijun.

Accepting, Lu Lijun wore it, and Noah exclaimed, "It's perfect on you. No wonder President Lu gifted it to you."

Lu Lijun continued looking at the watch and thought, 'It should be fine to accept it.'

In Jiang Yuyan's office...

"Boss, they would be here in ten minutes," Xiao Min informed.

Jiang Yuyan nodded, "Lu Lijun should be there. It would be his next project."

"Fourth young master is already handling so much. Wouldn't it be....."

"In the future, he would have more in hands. Will you say the same thing?" Jiang Yuyan countered.

"Apology, boss," said Xiao Min and asked, "Is it to keep him busier?"

Ignoring what Xiao Min asked, Jiang Yuyan countered, "Don't you think he would be like to work on it?"

Xiao Min nodded, "He will," and left after bowing a little.

Jiang Yuyan stopped working and leaned back in the chair as she looked deep in thought.

Lu Lijun was trying to dig into Lu Qiang's case though he couldn't find much. But Jiang Yuyan was sure Lu Lijun would never give up so easily. She tried her best to keep him busier to distract him as she didn't want him to be involved in the past things.
