CEO's Reborn Wife

Chapter 319: Chapter 327: The Appointment

James Black placed his water cup on the tea table and sat down next to Jane Sampson, without doing anything, just staring at the extremely excited Jane.

”Hmm, I can tell,” James Carter laughed softly over the phone.

James Carter was somewhat surprised, a person who had directly refused his offer for cooperation was this excited upon receiving his call.

But he was also amused by Jane’s frankness, as she didn’t even try to hide how excited she was.

”Am I disturbing you by calling at this time? I wanted to ask about the reason you refused my invitation. Ms. Little is a good friend of mine, and she recommended you highly, saying you would be the guest I was looking for. I watched the videos of you participating in competitions later and confirmed that Ms. Little was right,” he said.

Every sentence from James Carter was polite, showing not the slightest hint of disdain for Jane, despite being of higher status in their circle.

Jane was quite surprised; she had refused James Carter’s invitation and had guessed he might find her a bit ungrateful, but had not expected that he would call her personally just to politely inquire about her reasons.

It was only now that Jane finally believed that some people, whether in front of the camera or behind it, were always consistent.

”I’m sorry, it’s a personal reason,” Jane apologized seriously, ”You might find what I’m about to say quite fake, but I really do like your music, and have been a fan for many years.”

”Thank you,” the man’s voice in the conversation remained gentle, ”I’m also in Capital Province now, and if you don’t mind, could I take you out for a meal tomorrow?”

This time, Jane truly was startled again.

”Is it inconvenient?” James Carter asked.

”No, no, it’s convenient,” Jane responded eagerly.

”Then let’s meet tomorrow at noon. I’ll send the location to your mobile phone in a text message later. So, see you tomorrow,” James Carter thought for a moment, then added, ”I’ll invite Ms. Little as well, so you don’t have to be too nervous, just think of it as meeting a new friend.”

Jane agreed, but after hanging up the phone, she felt as if she were dreaming.

She turned her head to meet James Black’s stern expression, reached out and tapped him, ”Pinch me to see if it hurts, to check if I’m dreaming. James Carter actually called me personally!”

James Black’s hand didn’t move, but his expression shifted slightly as he stood up and walked away.

Jane didn’t pay attention to James Black, but held her mobile phone and foolishly smiled to herself, overwhelmed with happiness.

Though she wasn’t sure if the number that James Carter had just used was his private phone number, Jane still quietly saved it.

A while later, the text message from James Carter arrived. Jane glanced at the address; coincidentally, it was the private restaurant she and Nina Rice had visited twice before.

Jane sent a text message back to acknowledge she received it. After putting down her phone, she realized she couldn’t calm down enough to read the script.

The person she thought was once far away from her suddenly became closer, then again suddenly moved further away, becoming more and more distant.

But now, it seemed like he was extraordinarily close.

Jane didn’t know if anyone else had ever felt the same way; the James Carter who supported her through the hardest time, like a god on the stage giving her courage, seemed untouchable but was always in her heart, occupying a very important place.
