Familiar license plate number, Phoebe Barnes stunned for a moment, looked around, hesitated to run over to stop the car, suddenly from which direction a large number of reporters came out, a swarm of forced to stop the car.
The scene shifted so quickly that she froze in shock.
Security guards ran far over to intercept, the scene was quite intense now.
Although far away, you can vaguely hear the words Ross Total, Phoebe Barnes, and fiancée.
Hope but she suddenly gave up the intention to go forward.
Observed for a while, afraid that those reporters found her, about to take the opportunity to bail out, the crowd behind her suddenly came a voice hard let her stop again.
“There are other people in the car!”
“Mr. Ross, what is the relationship between this beautiful woman in the car and you?”
“This lady doesn’t look like Miss Barnes …”
“…”
In the distance, Phoebe Barnes ‘ body stiffened viciously and turned in a daze to look over.
Those reporters probably saw something through the front windshield and scrambled to take pictures.
There were other women in Kemp Ross’ car?
Where are they going?
Phoebe Barnes almost completely covered face can not see any expression, just a thin body leaning on the roadside billboard did not move to look in that direction, until the security guards will be completely surrounded by reporters to release the car.
The person inside never came down, and she didn’t see which woman it was.
Miley Gu?
Or is it the same Sherry Till?
Or maybe Miley Gu is a little more likely.
The car reflected in the sunglasses was getting farther and farther away, and Phoebe Barnes never moved.
Half a day, she leaned against the billboard body slowly slid down and finally sat on the steps, face straight ahead, not knowing what she was looking at.
Not yet scattered haze shines on her head hat, white wide shirt, cuffs pulled up high, wrists lined with thin bones and slender, white skin looks extraordinarily young.
People passing by frequently glanced back at her.
After sitting in silence for a few minutes, she took out her cell phone and hesitantly dialed the man’s number.
After a few dozen seconds of ringing, the connection was made, and the man’s low, emotionless voice came from there.
“Hello.”
“Kemp… where are you now?” She lowered her head slightly and trailed off with a soft voice, warm and quiet and well-behaved, “Are you still at the office?”
“Say something.”
Phoebe Barnes was quiet for a moment and gently asked, “Are you alone now?”
There was silence for a while before the man’s voice became low, “When did you learn to beat around the bush in front of me?”
Phoebe Barnes’ expression under the mask stiffened for a moment, but according to his character, the next second must be to hang up the phone, she did not even think to say: “I was in front of your company, the security guard told me you just left. There are a lot of reporters around, I …”
“…”
“Phoebe Barnes, you’re not trying to tell me that you’re afraid of the reporters and that I should go back and pick you up now, are you?” The man gave a low snort of laughter, seemingly completely oblivious to the other meaning of her words, or perhaps too lazy to care.
Phoebe Barnes bit her lip and spoke in a low, sticky voice, “Those reporters have been chasing me for half a day.”
Kemp Ross sneered and scolded, “If you weren’t hanging around, would some reporter have caught you? You know you’re a stinky rat and you’re still out there.”
The man paused for a moment and suddenly said in a deep voice: “You didn’t leave from the old mansion and wander around outside this half day, did you?”
“I …” Phoebe Barnes licked her dry lips and explained bashfully, “I went back to the office.”
When I went to Kewin Gu’s place later, it seemed that I couldn’t talk to him.
Also, she met with Miley Gu.
Phoebe Barnes’ mind flashed, did Miley Gu leave the cafe and come straight to Kemp Ross?
[Then I will be merciful to you in my politeness, Miss Barnes, and you do well.
Thinking of her words as she was leaving, Phoebe Barnes bit her lip slightly.
Slightly uncomfortable in her heart, she carefully prayed, “Kemp… you, can’t you come back to pick me up?”
The man mocked her coldly, “John Lu didn’t have anyone send you back?”
“He was in a hurry to meet a beautiful woman and didn’t care about me.” Phoebe Barnes’ tone was soft and charming, innocent and pure, with a hint of bawdy ingratiation, “I came to see you on purpose, but I didn’t know I was late.”
There was silence for a while, the man did not speak, but next to the blurred sound of a woman’s voice.
“Kemp, I think you’d better go pick her up, right? There are so many reporters squatting today, almost all of them are looking for her, she is definitely not safe alone.”
The words fell, silent for a few seconds, before the man’s indifferent voice rang out.
“Reverse back to the office!”
The driver’s voice responded immediately after, “Oh, okay.”
Without a word, the call was then disconnected.
Phoebe Barnes held the phone, the heart suddenly chilled to the extreme, soaked through the skin, the whole person is like a pot of cold water.
Not because she was sure that the woman beside him was Miley Gu, but, she had begged him for half a day, but it was not as effective as the woman’s words.
“Heh …”
Phoebe Barnes suddenly let out a low laugh, through the mask, there is a kind of hoarse fuzzy feeling, seems a bit sad and frustrated.
She also did not endure, let the emotions run out, sunglasses under the tears flowing down the cheeks soaked into the mask, the appearance can not see any.
…
The black car traveling on the road turned around and returned.
Inside the car, Miley Gu and the man sit in the back seat while the driver in front drives.
After a long time of silence, Miley Gu spoke lightly with no expression, “I’m sorry, I didn’t expect her to come over, I shouldn’t have come to you today.”
The man didn’t look at her, his black eyes were quiet and heavy looking ahead, his voice was warm and light, “No need to apologize to me, let the driver send you to Wind Rong later, even if I’m not there, he’ll make things clear to you.”
Miley Gu gaze stared down, pursed her lips and smiled lightly, “That thing is not a secret, you can take Miss Barnes with you.”
“Miley Gu,” Kemp Ross pinched his brow, his tone low and helpless, “you …”
“I know you’re still trying to talk me to death.” Miley Gu interrupted him with a bitter smile and a softer voice, “Give me some time and I’ll try to let go slowly.”
Kemp Ross turned his eyes to look at her quietly, “If you really can’t control yourself, I think we should not see each other next time. If anything happens, I’ll have someone go help you.”
“…”
Miley Gu looked at him in a daze and tugged at the corners of her lips to smile, “You’re really going to do that? Just for Miss Barnes?”
“It has nothing to do with her.” Kemp Ross voice is the same indifferent, handsome face without ripples, “you can live better without me, you need not spend so much thought on me, you know, I never care what the outside world thinks.”
Miley Gu’s expression froze on her face, stunned with a hint of a caught-at-awake weakness, brushed aside his shooting eyes and said in a low voice: “I know. So you think that those reporters just now were arranged by me in advance?”
“For the truth of these things I have little interest in knowing, blame you also quite meaningless, I will choose to turn a blind eye, does not mean that the heart is not clear.” Kemp Ross face is not any anger, only a light layer of coolness, “you are very smart, know how to calculate step by step in their own favor, as long as a little brain will know how to do, Phoebe Barnes is too stupid, and you really can not compare, but even if you get rid of her, there will be other people appear, put smart are Don’t you think it’s a shame to spend all your smarts on this?”
