Mr. Jones Be Gentle (Grace) novel Chapter 1160

As soon as those words left her mouth, everyone who had heard her gasped and stared at her in shock.

At that moment, the door of the president's office opened and a handsome, slender figure in a suit stood right at the spot.

It was Zachary. He was looking at Yvonne with a deep, dark gaze, they were so dark that no one could read his emotions.

He had obviously heard what Yvonne had said.

That woman finally made a move.

When Yvonne finished talking, she hadn't yet realized that Zachary was at the door. Suddenly she saw everyone stare at her with their mouths wide open before quietly sitting down and not looking at her anymore.

Only then did Yvonne realize what was going on, she turned around and looked in the direction of the entrance of Zachary's office.

She saw Zachary standing there, looking at her with a deep gaze.

At that instant, her heart suddenly lurched to a

halt.

At that moment, everything was like a dream, and her heart skipped a beat.

Yvonne blinked her eyes. She wasn't mistaken.

It was not a dream.

It really was Zachary.

He had heard her.

Yvonne was extremely distressed within.

She didn't care about what others thought of her, but she didn't expect Zachary to overhear her statement of waiting to claim him as hers.

She was slightly surprised.

But she felt even more awkward.

They were less than five meters away from each other. Zachary seemed very far from her, yet his fierce gaze felt so close.

Their surroundings seemed to have come to a standstill.

Everyone in the office did not speak and faded into the background. None dared look at both of them.

But they had their ears perked up, unwilling to miss a single moment or a single action.

Just what kind of horrifying storm had Yvonne's words stirred up?

Everyone looked forward to President Zachary's

reaction.

Zachary walked towards Yvonne, stood at the opposite of her desk in the blink of an eye, and looked downwards at Yvonne with a deep gaze.

Yvonne felt as if she had been caught in the act, and she didn't dare speak anymore. She was extremely embarrassed, and her heart began to pound faster.

"You said that I'm yours?" Zachary finally spoke. His voice was low, yet it was loud enough for everyone to hear it clearly.

Yvonne sucked in a breath of cold air.

She hadn't expected him to ask her that way.

She could say things like that to other people without any problem.

But how could she say it in front of Zachary?

She pondered.

As she took a deep breath, she could only smile awkwardly and whispered, "President."

Zachary stared at Yvonne for a moment as if he insisted on her speaking, "Why won't you speak? Why don't you dare say it out loud now that I'm here?"

Yvonne pursed her lips, and her face turned red in an instant.

She unknowingly fiddled her fingers out of nervousness and dared not look at Zachary. Her heart was a mess, and her mind was blank.

He fixed his gaze on her face. Yvonne could sense its sharpness.

Yvonne pursed her lips and said, "I think you're waiting for me to win your heart as you're looking at me expectantly."

As soon as those words came out, everyone gasped again.

Zachary's gaze grew obscure. He narrowed his eyes as he stared at her lips. His gaze was so wild that it seemed that he wanted to pull her into his office and punish her.

But his last bit of rationality reminded him of the time and place they were currently in.

Finally, Zachary managed to withdraw his gaze and lower his eyes slightly. He coughed, cleared his throat, and said in a low voice, "It's office hours now!"

Then, he turned around and entered his office.

He closed the door.

Yvonne also heaved a sigh of relief.

At the same time, everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at Yvonne with unclear emotions in their eyes.

Yvonne took a deep breath, sat down, and lowered her head to sort out her work.

She was sure that no one would ask her anything anymore this time.

But she was wrong.

Xandra immediately went to her and asked during lunch, "Yvonne, tell the truth, your relationship with the President must be special, right?"

"I'm sure you heard me earlier." Yvonne lightly asked in return, "I've already declared."

"You were very bold to have said those words, but I think the more you act that way towards the President, the more impossible it is for you two to be in a romantic relationship. You two look more like old friends who haven't seen each other for many years instead." Yvonne didn't know where her confidence in her theory came from.

Yvonne looked at her, then at Isabelle.

Isabelle also came over, wanting to join in the gossip.

Yvonne answered, "The president and I are indeed old friends who hadn't met for years. But he's also the man that I've set my eyes on. I'm going to make him mine. Don't you guys believe me?"

"We would've believed you if you didn't declare so publically. Now that you've said it, it's less believable." Xandra said with a smile, "You're surprisingly humorous. I didn't expect that you'd dare make such a joke."
