spend the rest of my life saying i love you

Chapter 118 Zhuo Aiqi Terminates the Contract

"Eh..." Jian Anran suddenly felt a little chilly, her eyes rolled, and finally said: "Didn't you ever think that your own thinking is too extreme?"

The man was a little dissatisfied: "I think it's extreme, it's obviously because you don't want to take responsibility!"

"What are you talking nonsense with such a man? Zhuo Aiqi is not very good-looking. She only knows how to be coquettish all day long, and when she sees a man, she will lean towards them. She doesn't know what these fans like about her. Now she is hidden by the company. I'm happy!"

Europe and the United States said, and almost raised their hands to applaud, but the man was so angry that he had nothing to say.

"You let me go!"

"Let go of you? Then you can ask our master if he is willing, and also ask you to go to the police station with us."

"Sister, you don't need to go to the police station, because I have called just now, and I believe the police will come and take this man away in a short while." After Ouya finished speaking, she patted Chen Xiao on the shoulder: " Master, are you going to praise us?"

"You two have nothing to do all day?"

"Just finished the exam, those questions are trivial to us, just write a few casually."

Chen Xiao thought of something, and said, "Did you write it indiscriminately?"

"Uh..." Ouya smiled: "Actually, master, you just need to know, there is no need to say it."

Jian Anran stood by the side, watching how several people were talking. If one ignored the man who was being suppressed on the ground, this scene was still very harmonious, but it was impossible to ignore it.

After a while, the police car drove over and handcuffed the man. The man was still struggling and cursing: "Be careful, you stinky woman. Ai Qi's fans are not only me, they will come to trouble you one by one. You wait for me!"

In fact, this man is right, Zhuo Aiqi really has a lot of fans, if one by one makes trouble for herself, Jian Anran will feel a little headache, this cannot be prevented, so many people, jumping out of the road may be all .

"Please come with us, because we have to make a record."

The policeman came over respectfully, with serious eyes and no refusal. Jian Anran and Chen Xiao drove behind and followed all the way to the police station. Even the two sisters followed.

After finishing the record, it was already [-] o'clock in the evening when Jian Anran walked out of the police station. She frowned and called Mo Tingjun. Unexpectedly, the person there seemed to be absent and did not answer the phone. Jian Anran hung up the phone, and Chen Xiao went straight home.

The police station was not far from the apartment. When Jane returned home, the lights in the house were turned on. She called out, "Tingjun?"

No one answered, Jian Anran walked in directly, and heard noises from the bathroom, it seemed that she was taking a bath.

She took off her coat exhaustedly, and nestled on the sofa. Mo Ting came out of the bathroom, wiped her hair with a dry towel, and said with a smile, "What's wrong, so tired?"

Jian Anran hugged Mo Tingjun's arm and rubbed against it, as if like a kitten. Mo Tingjun sat down along, hugged Jian Anran in his arms, and patted gently: "Anran..."

"Let me rely on you."

Jian Anran replied, closed her eyes slightly, and fell asleep not long after.

Mo Tingjun did not move, took the phone over, and told Song Feng to ask Chen Xiao what happened today, and he got the result in a short while, his eyebrows were slightly cold, Zhuo Aiqi...

After so long, the owner of this name is going to make trouble again?
Fans splashed sulfuric acid, luckily An Ran didn't get splashed, otherwise it would have been so painful!
Jian Anran didn't seem to be sleeping very well, she moved her head to find a position and continued to squint her eyes.

Mo Ting took a blanket on the sofa, and kept the same motion without moving.

"Send me Zhuo Aiqi's information and movements."

Not long after, the email received the information. Mo Tingjun glanced at it, put the phone on the table, bowed down and carried Jian Anran back to the bed, and gently changed her clothes. After everything was done, Mo Tingjun That's when he hugged her and fell asleep.

When Jian Anran woke up, it was already daylight. She didn't know when she was carried back to the bed last night. She frowned, and looked up: "Husband, what time is it?"

When Mo Tingjun heard her address, the corner of his mouth was hooked: "07:30, I can sleep for another hour."

"Another hour of sleep will be 08:30, do you want me to be late?" Jian Anran asked with a smile, Mo Tingjun put his arms around her body, and shook his head: "I asked for leave for you, but Zeng Lan said that you The company has to work on the case recently, so it doesn't matter if you don't go to the company."

"What about you?" It doesn't matter if she doesn't go, but what about him, is it okay?

Mo Tingjun clasped her head and laughed softly: "Just treat me as your companion."

After Mo Tingjun said this, Jian Anran naturally stopped struggling to get up, but her eyes met, and she couldn't fall asleep at all. Half an hour later, Jian Anran got up directly from his arms, brushed her hair and lifted the quilt .

"Mr. Mo, if you don't get up again, I'm afraid that people in the company will say..." She leaned closer to his ear, her seductive voice came: "They will say that you are obsessed with beauty and don't go to bed early..."

Mo Tingjun clasped her waist, bit her lips, teased her intentionally or unintentionally, and said intently: "I think this sentence is true."

The two went downstairs together, and the two assistants had been waiting below for a long time, because Song Feng had made a phone call before, and Song Feng was not surprised. From the corner of the eye, he looked at Chen Xiao who was standing outside.

I don't know what this little girl is doing, she just squats down and draws patterns on the snow with her fingers. Song Feng is really curious about what she is drawing, so he can't help but open the car door and get out of the car to have a look. pattern, the corners of his brows frowned imperceptibly.

"Aren't your fingers cold?"

Without raising her head, Chen Xiao said directly, "Anyway, I'm bored and have nothing to do, just pass the time."

"Then can't you pass it in another way?" For example, when you get in the car and play with your mobile phone, won't the time pass?Why bother to fiddle with your fingers like this, you might get sick, right?

"I'm in good shape, can't I?" Chen Xiao asked back.

Song Feng frowned, maybe because he had been with Mo Tingjun for a long time, so even their personalities were a bit similar, very cold.

He raised his eyes, and saw Mo Tingjun and Jian Anran walking hand in hand, Chen Xiao also heard footsteps, stood up from the ground, and quickly opened the car door.

When she came to the company, Jian Anran found that there were only a few people in the office. Wen Ai, Wen Min and others were not there. Everyone was running for the position of director. She rubbed the corners of her eyebrows, sat on her chair, took Look carefully at the documents from yesterday.

"An Ran, you're here."

Zeng Lan came over with a cup of coffee, Nunu said indifferently, "Look, they are all overwhelmed for this position, and there are only a few who don't leave."

Perhaps those few people were not because they didn't want to become directors, but because they were ready to give up from the beginning, because they knew that such good luck would not fall on their heads.

It is good for people to have self-knowledge.

Not working hard on things that don't belong to you means not wasting time.

Zeng Lan pulled out the chair and sat down, pointed to the document and said, "Why don't we work hard today too?"

"That's fine." Jian Anran closed the document. There was a reason why she didn't want to be the director of this company, but she couldn't let Wen Ai sit on it so easily. She could only tell Zeng Lan to fight for it. But if she wanted to become the director, Zeng Lan should also act now.

Zeng Lan called the other party to make an appointment to meet, but she didn't know what the other party said, so Zeng Lan said with a smile: "Fortunately, President Li hasn't forgotten me, why don't we make an appointment to meet?"

"Then I'll see you all at three o'clock in the afternoon." After the other party finished speaking, he also hung up the phone with a smile.

"President, you have a meeting at three o'clock in the afternoon." The assistant reminded me.

Li Yan frowned, put down the phone: "Change the time."

"This……"

"What? No way?" Li Yan glanced coldly, and the assistant shook her head in fright: "Okay, I'll make arrangements now!"

Li Yan looked at his mobile phone, and then at the documents on the table, his fingers fluttered and moved quickly.

Zeng Lan hasn't called herself for a long time, and she doesn't know what's going on this time.

Three in the afternoon.

Zeng Lan and Jian Anran arrived at Mindu together, sat there and looked at the time, there were still 10 minutes until three o'clock, and Li Yan should have arrived by the time, coming here 10 minutes early was a gentleman's performance.

Sure enough, a figure walked into the door, followed by an assistant, Li Yan glanced at Zeng Lan, and when he saw Jian Anran sitting next to him, his eyes dimmed slightly, thinking it was Zeng Lan One person, I didn't expect one more person to come!

In Li Yan's eyes, Jian Anran is now equivalent to a big light bulb.

Zeng Lan stretched out her hand to beckon: "President Li, long time no see."

Li Yan walked over and nodded coldly: "I haven't contacted me for so long, I thought you forgot about me."

With a familiar tone, the relationship between the two is very close, Jian Anran can tell, Zeng Lan stretched out her hand to introduce them, and smiled softly: "This is Li Yan, President Li."

"Hello, I'm Jane Anran."

Jian Anran introduced herself, who knew that Li Yan just stretched out his hand and shook it, with a cold smile on his face, which was very formulaic, and Jian Anran was not angry, and found an excuse to go to the bathroom after a few words. He wanted to hold her back, but Jian Anran slipped faster than a rabbit.

Only Zeng Lan and Li Yan were left at the table, and the atmosphere was a bit delicate.

"Zeng Lan, if you have anything to say, just speak up." Li Yan didn't intend to waste any time, his eyes were shining brightly, and that pretty face became more and more beautiful at this moment.

Zeng Lan stirred the coffee with her fingers, raised her head when she heard what he said, and smiled: "I'm here to talk about cooperation, I'm working in a company recently, um, and then I want to sign a contract with you, I can I don't know if you are willing to be promoted to director..."

Li Yan is a very gentleman, he smiled gently, and his face was stained with a smile: "As expected of Zeng Lan, she speaks straightforwardly."

"You know I don't like to beat around the bush."

Going around, and finally going back to the original question, isn't that too tiring?
Besides, she and Li Yan have known each other for several years, so there is no need to go around like that as a personal relationship.

Li Yan liked Zeng Lan's temperament, so he took a sip of his coffee and said, "Zeng Lan, if you bring the contract, please show me, if not...then we can talk another day."

"This is."

Zeng Lan smiled and handed over the document.

But Li Yan was a little dissatisfied, thinking in her heart that if she didn't bring her here, she would have another chance to meet her next time, but now she wants to give up this thought, Zeng Lan raised her eyelids, but found that Li Yan's complexion was a bit unsightly, and she was suspicious .

"I said you don't want to cooperate with me, that's why you said what you said just now?"

Seeing that he was misunderstood, Li Yan blinked: "Do you think I look like that person?"

Zeng Lan nodded honestly: "Like!"

Li Yan hooked the corner of his mouth, looked at the document, and handed it to the assistant next to him: "Take it."

"Is this an agreement?"

"I'm going to go back and hold a meeting with the directors later. The counter matters can be big or small, but it's not difficult to pass if it can bring benefits to our company, but I have one condition."

Zeng Lan frowned: "What condition?"

"Send a set of clothes designed by you to our counter every month."

"Old fox!" Zeng Lan cursed secretly.

If you put her clothes on, it is impossible not to make money. This is not her bragging. Many people have heard of Zeng Lan's reputation.

"No traitor, no business!" Li Yan replied.

Zeng Lan shrugged helplessly and waved her hands: "Mr. Li, then I will wait for your good news. The phone number will remain unchanged."

Standing up, Li Yan turned around and left. He was tall and tall, with a slanted figure, and he thought it was very good looking at the back. Jian Anran walked over, saw Zeng Lan was in a trance, and waved her hand slightly to bring her back to her thoughts.

"What are you looking at, so preoccupied?" Jian Anran sneered: "Everyone is gone, and I won't be able to see him again, why not take him away."

Zeng Lan's eyes quickly focused: "..."

There must be something tricky between the two, otherwise Jian Anran would not have taken the initiative to stay in the bathroom for half an hour, but Zeng Lan's expression was a little abnormal, she didn't seem to be shy, but was thinking seriously.

"An Ran, he and I are not in the relationship you imagined."

"Huh?" Jian Anran blinked, "Do you know what kind of relationship I imagined?"

"Your thoughts are all on your face now, and it's hard for people not to know." After saying that, Zeng Lan clenched her fists and sighed: "In short, my relationship with him is very complicated, and I can't explain it clearly, so I don't know why." I don’t want to take that step.”

If possible, she would rather have less contact with this man, not even make a phone call!

But this time it was actually him who took the initiative to call, which is extremely ridiculous to think about it.

Jian Anran knew it well, so she didn't bring up this topic anymore. She wanted to go to the waiter to pay the bill, but was told that a gentleman had paid. She smiled, and this President Li is really a gentleman.

Silently doing some small things, but some women like it very much, walked back to the chair, and left with Zeng Lan. At five o'clock in the afternoon, Zeng Lan received a call from Li Yan, only to sign a three-month trial contract .

Three months... was exactly what Zeng Lan wanted, and she agreed without even thinking about it. The two hung up the phone when they set the time to sign the contract tomorrow. Tell Jane Anran the news.

Jian Anran sincerely said congratulations, and Zeng Lan muttered on the other end of the phone: "Actually, this case is not difficult. As long as I am willing, there is no case that I cannot handle."

"Zeng Lan, you have the demeanor of a strong woman, don't you feel aggrieved by being my assistant?"

The people over there seemed to be thinking about this question, and finally shook their heads: "Jane Anran, maybe I just like this kind of life. I am a person who doesn't like to be competitive. Even my master said that this is not good for me. It’s a waste of talent.”

"Your master has discerning eyes and pearls."

"boom--!"

Just as Chen Xiao parked the car in front of the traffic light, someone threw a stone from the nearby flower garden and smashed it towards the car window. The car window was smashed into a dent, and the stone also slid down the car window. Jian Anran quickly looked to the side , The man actually threw two more stones.

"An Ran, what's going on with you?"

Zeng Lan asked, obviously feeling something was wrong.

Jian Anran hurriedly said: "It's okay, something small happened, I'll hang up the phone first."

After hanging up the phone, Jian Anran frowned. The man didn't leave yet, so Chen Ling impatiently opened the door on the driver's seat: "Ma'am, I'll go down and catch that man!"

He was being bullied to the top, how could he not fight back!
"He has stones in his hand, you have to be careful." After Jian Anran finished speaking, she explained.

Just when Chen Xiao got out of the car with confidence, he saw a few men in black coming down from the car behind, grabbed the man directly, grabbed the man with his backhand, and pulled him hard, and the man was caught Tuck it into the car behind.

With a sock stuffed in his mouth, he was whimpering. A man in a suit came over respectfully and knocked on the car window: "Ma'am, we will take this man back. You can go ahead."

Chen Xiao was still in a dazed state. She hadn't shown her skills yet, and she was a little bit unwilling to be dealt with like this. She gritted her teeth and got into the car resentfully, and drove away.

And because of this farce, the drivers around were a little stunned, and after reacting, they all cursed: "That man just now must be wrong again, he actually threw a stone at the car window!"

"There must be something wrong with it. If you don't look at how much the car costs, is it worth it?"

"That's it!"

"How can a person who can afford a luxury car offend him as soon as he says he's offended? There must be something wrong in his head, otherwise he wouldn't do it!"

"A fool."

"..." The driver's voice was endless, and many people took photos and posted on the Internet, and some were small videos. After this post, many people forwarded it and liked it, and it became popular in a short while. .

A netizen commented: "Isn't this the car of the second youngest of the Mo family? Who is this man?"

This comment simply stirred up thousands of waves, and many people began to reply below.

"I heard that a fan of Zhuo Aiqi threw sulfuric acid on the wife of the second youngest of the Mo family, and now there is another one who threw stones. This man is probably also a fan of Zhuo Aiqi, but a woman can make fans so crazy. It also proves that she is quite charming, but the character of Mo Er Shao's wife needs to be considered..."

That's right, this collection of replies received the most likes, and it was also the most conspicuous at the bottom. Everyone began to think about the things about Zhuo Aiqi before, and read Jian Anran from beginning to end.

Answered that there was nothing to do at home and swiped a few feeds. The moment I saw this trending search, the corners of my mouth slightly twitched. Such a trivial matter can also be on the trending search. It is obvious that someone invited a large number of sailors, and they still specially released it. benefit her speech.

This Zhuo Aiqi, hasn't given up yet?
After hearing Song Feng's report, Mo Tingjun directly called Zhuo Aiqi's company, and the people over there held their breath when they heard that it was Mo Tingjun.

"I don't know what's the matter with the second young master?"

"If the artist under your company can't manage herself well, then I can only let her hide completely!"

"Second Young Master, it's not good for you to meddle in our company's affairs like this? We all have clear rules." The people over there were a little dissatisfied. annoyed.

Mo Tingjun smiled coldly: "There is nothing good or bad here, only I want to do it, you'd better refute the rumors within today, otherwise I will let your pearl fall completely!"

With a "snap", the phone was hung up, and everyone over there was terrified.

"Go and call Zhuo Aiqi over here!"

On the cusp of the wind and waves, he dared to make such a thing, really thought he was still the big star back then?
He didn't even look at his weight, he really didn't take care of it, which caused him to lose face with so many people, and even gave Mo Tingjun a smile on his face!
Zhuo Aiqi's manager wiped the cold sweat off her brow, said aggrievedly: "I don't know where she is..."

"You trash, as the manager of a star, you don't know where she is?" The boss was furious, and threw the document in his hand on the manager's head: "How dare she hide after causing so many troubles? Really?" Don't you put us in your eyes?"

"I don't care what method you use, anyway, I want to meet someone like her today!"

The manager turned around with a nod and bowed his head, and walked straight out of the office. His back was covered in cold sweat, and his clothes were a little wet. This Zhuo Aiqi was only looking for trouble, even in this situation, he still did this!
While the manager was chanting, a woman wearing a mask walked in at the door, her hair was loose in big waves, she was tall and bright, she could tell she was a big star at first glance, the manager's eyes flashed, and she greeted her.

"I said Qiqi, why did you show up, hurry up, the boss wants to see you, you should explain to him quickly, or we will all suffer!"

Zhuo Aiqi actually appeared by herself, the news spread to the boss's ears very quickly, and he immediately called her back to the office.

The corners of her mouth were slightly pursed, Zhuo Aiqi's aura this time was obviously different from before, when she walked to the office, she whispered: "Boss, are you looking for me?"

"You still have the face to say it!" The boss was furious. He didn't like her superior attitude, and said directly: "What's the benefit of offending Mo Tingjun in your current situation? Hurry up to apologize to me and refute the rumors, and cause it yourself Solve the matter by yourself!"

Zhuo Aiqi raised the corner of her mouth: "Why is the boss so angry? I will definitely solve the problem I caused by myself. You don't need to worry about it. Next time someone from the Mo family calls, you can directly tell them my number." , I will give an explanation myself, as for those on the Internet..."

"As for me, I don't know how to refute rumors!"

"Because in my opinion, it's not a rumor at all, but a fact!" Zhuo Aiqi took off the mask on her face, smiling brightly and generously: "That woman's character is not good, I want him to see clearly !"

"You incited the fans to do that, do you really think Er Shao doesn't understand?!"

"..." Zhuo Aiqi was speechless, and remained silent for a moment: "That's my business, I don't care about my reputation, and I hope the boss doesn't ask."

Zhuo Aiqi put on the mask again, and when she was about to turn around and leave, the boss said abruptly: "Zhuo Aiqi, if you don't deal with it properly, I believe you will regret it, and my company will not want a person who has been hidden by the snow." star!"

"I understand." Zhuo Aiqi froze, but she still walked outside.

The manager came up to him and smiled flatteringly, "Qiqi, how are you? What did you say to the boss? Did the boss blame you?"

"Perhaps you won't have to follow me in the future." After Zhuo Aiqi finished speaking, she walked out under the suspicious eyes of her manager. After leaving the company, she got into the nanny's car, and there was a woman sitting in it. He took off his mask and leaned lazily on the chair.

"I did as you said, what should I do next?"

"If you like that man, you have to get his attention, and then conquer his heart step by step. Even if he hates you, it's better than he doesn't know you. Then you just need to get rid of the rumors." Bigger, let Jane get hurt!"

"that's it?"

Zhuo Aiqi held the red wine on the table, shook it but refused to drink it, looking at the red liquid in a daze.

No one knew what she was thinking, and the other party didn't urge her. After a long while, she only heard her say: "But you have to remember, some things are done as soon as they are done, and you can't look back. Your current reputation and status may be completely destroyed in one fell swoop." disappear!"

"I don't care, as long as I get him!"

After loving for so many years, how could I give up so easily, it's all because of him!
"Then just prepare yourself. You will see me less in the future, and call me if you have something to do." The other party opened the car door and was about to get out of the car.

But Zhuo Aiqi grabbed the man's hand and asked softly: "You haven't told me why you helped me."

The man just smiled, and a trace of cruelty flashed in his eyes: "Why do you want to help you? No, I'm just helping myself."

"Could it be that you like Mo Tingjun too!"

"Heh..." The man smiled: "Don't be so naive, you are so stupid!"

Turn around, shake hands and leave.

Zhuo Aiqi didn't understand, she leaned on the chair and was lost in thought, she closed the car door without saying a word.

Is it right or wrong to do so?

Maybe that person just said is right, he would rather let him hate her than let him not know himself, he is unwilling, and he is not reconciled at all!
Jian Anran, I will definitely pull you down, no matter how high you are standing now, I will let you fall as badly as possible!
Pulling out the phone, he started private messages with fans, step by step in a soft and cute tone, and then said how miserable he was, and he was so depressed that he wanted to commit suicide. It was Jian Anran who caused him not to be able to play...

Watching the fans start scolding Jian Anran, Zhuo Aiqi "accidentally" revealed which company she works for and which road is the only way to go...

Those fans really like themselves.

Zhuo Aiqi smiled in satisfaction, tapped her phone to go to the home page, and finally edited a post: "Recently, there are too many things on my mind, and I don't know what to say, but don't blame me for some things, fans They love me, I know."

Attached is a photo at the end, which is beautiful and compelling.

Zhuo Aiqi lowered the soundproof door panel: "Drive."

The driver nodded and drove the car away from the spot.

Seeing Zhuo Aiqi's movements, Song Feng frowned in vain. He called and invited a lot of public relations teams to directly suppress Zhuo Aiqi's account, and then found someone to hack Zhuo Aiqi's account. Only then did he return to Mo tingjun's office.

"Second Young Master."

"Let Zhuo Aiqi terminate the contract."

"Yes." Song Feng exited the office and went to Zhuo Aiqi's company alone.

When the boss over there heard that he was Mo Tingjun's chief assistant, he quickly stood up from his chair to greet him. Song Feng snorted coldly: "I believe you, as a boss, can guess what I'm going to talk about today. At least there are no other requirements, only your company and Zhuo Aiqi terminate the contract, otherwise your company will also suffer because of this woman!"

"This..." The boss hesitated for a moment and said, "If we terminate the contract unilaterally, the liquidated damages..."

"Then you want all your companies to go bankrupt?"

Song Feng asked coldly, I have never seen such a narrow-minded boss!

It is actually possible to pick up sesame seeds and lose watermelon.

"Your company has a good prospect. If you can train one Zhuo Aiqi, you can train a second Zhuo Aiqi!" Song Feng said, and finally ordered the table: "You don't want Mo's to buy it, do you?"

The boss's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly said: "Assistant Song was joking, how could we do such a stupid thing? I will definitely do it well. After you go back, let Second Young Master rest assured that we understand how to do it."

In fact, when Zhuo Aiqi's first scandal broke out, their company knew she would not live long, so they all gave up hope on her, and they will train another first sister soon.

It's not worth offending the entire Mo family for one Zhuo Aiqi!

Song Feng told Mo Tingjun about it when he returned to the company, and then started looking for where Zhuo Aiqi lived.

Mo Tingjun came forward in person, almost no public relations team dared to get involved with Zhuo Aiqi's affairs, and Zhuo Aiqi couldn't log in because her account was hacked, so naturally she couldn't communicate with fans, and she was very angry.

After this incident, the company unilaterally contacted Zhuo Aiqi and expressed her thoughts. When she heard the word termination, Zhuo Aiqi hadn't recovered yet, she was just waking up from a dream.

She clenched the phone tightly and asked in a cold voice, "What did you say?"

It was her manager who was talking to her on the phone, and now she couldn't help but tremble a few times when she heard Zhuo Aiqi's voice. After following Zhuo Aiqi for so many years, as a manager, she naturally knows what kind of character she is, and she is afraid that something will happen to her. People speak very quietly.

"Qiqi, the matter is decided by the higher-ups, and I can't say anything, so don't embarrass me..."

Zhuo Aiqi snorted coldly, the corners of her mouth slightly raised: "Really?"

"Qiqi, don't be like this, see if this is going to work, come to the company tomorrow, and you will officially terminate the contract with the company." The manager said it again.

Zhuo Aiqi was very annoyed in her heart, and finally sneered: "Okay, I will come to the company tomorrow, but it was proposed by the company. As my agent, you also hope that you can strive for the best interests for me. Let's cooperate with you for the last time."

Instead, the voice became heavy: "Of course, if you don't want to..."
