Chapter 169
Jack had no objection to Patrick wanting to purchase company cars. He continued focusing his attention on perfecting his mini-games and developing new ones. He also started the serialization of the background structure and historical storyline of "Legend of the East", his new large-scale game.
The background structure turned out to be a huge hit online, and it increased expectations for the upcoming game. Aside from work and studying, Jack would also head to the campus radio station on time daily to broadcast with Phoebe.
The time he spent there was the happiest and most relaxed in his day. Since their duet on "Timeless Years", they'd often played together during the broadcast. They didn't often choose classics, but Jack could always harmonize with Phoebe on the go. Phoebe's singing was also wildly popular among the students.
Their seamless teamwork made Jack feel like he'd found his soulmate, but Phoebe seemed to only think of him as a highly capable partner. Either way, he couldn't glean anything special from her expressions.
As for Bella, she and Jack had stopped coming into contact with each other after the meeting with her father. It seemed she was sticking to her promise to stop disturbing Jack. She disappeared from his life after appearing in it for a short time, like a temporary visitor in his home.
Jack was a little regretful over her departure he'd once been interested in her, after all. However, their current situation was the best ending for them both. They were from different worlds and had only encountered each other by chance.
Meanwhile, Feena hadn't tried to contact Jack despite knowing his true identity. Life wasn't a novel there was no such thing as countless fangirls tripping over themselves to be with the main character once he revealed his true self.
Jack was famous, but Feena was proud and principled. Even if she admired him, she wouldn't easily change her mind over a decision she'd already made.
That evening, the end of Phoebe's song signaled the end of the happiest moments in Jack's day.
After the broadcast was over, the familiar black Mercedes-Benz pulled up outside the building. Leslie entered the building and headed upstairs to invite Phoebe for dinner again. Read complete version only at find✦novel.net
He hadn't given up despite her turning him down each time. In fact, he'd intensified his pursuit of her after her birthday. However, her attitude toward him had evidently cooled. She had various excuses to turn him down whenever he asked her out.
This time, Phoebe shook her head apologetically and said, "I'm sorry, Leslie. I have a performance today, so I won't have time for dinner."
Leslie looked disappointed. He wanted to say something else but could only leave without another word when he saw the cool, stoic look on her face.
Jack was pleased to see Phoebe reject Leslie. He couldn't help asking, "If you're turning even someone like Leslie down, what's your ideal boyfriend like?"
She blushed slightly and shot him a look. Then, her eyes sparkled as she said, "He doesn't need to be too rich, but it's important that he's kind, strong, and well- educated. It'd be best if he were more knowledgeable than me."
Her voice was gentle, and her gaze was expectant. Just like all other women her age, she desired to love and be loved. It was just that she'd yet to meet the man who made her want to give him her heart.
Just then, Jack's phone rang. Isaac was calling to invite him for dinner.
