Phoebe Barnes ate in silence, not daring to speak again.
She has now learned to automatically filter out the cynicism in his every word, if he is suddenly gentle that would be her shock.
The meal was quietly eaten halfway, the man suddenly faintly out, “I have to travel tomorrow, need a few days.”
Phoebe Barnes was stunned as her chopsticks stopped and lifted her little face to look at him, “Business trip?”
It’s normal for him to travel, with a company as big as Ross Family, he may travel a few times a month, and she doesn’t expect him to come and have dinner with her every day, just …
I just had dinner with Miley Gu in the evening and he suddenly said he had to go on a business trip, is it related to her?
The movements in her hands returned to natural as she ate and murmured, “At work?”
Kemp Ross looked at the small, dark head in his hand and snorted, “Or should it be something about taking a woman out for a cheat?”
The mind was directly punctured, Phoebe Barnes almost bit her tongue, the small face buried deeper. “I’ll help you unpack later.”
Her every word is transparent in front of the man, what mind can escape.
Kemp Ross gave her a sidelong glance, “Don’t give me any trouble while I’m gone, and call Campbell Butler directly if you have any problems.”
Hmm?
Phoebe Barnes froze, her little face showing surprise, “You’re not taking Campbell Butler with you?”
Work travel such things, Campbell Butler is his assistant will generally follow.
“Well, he stays and has other work, you toss less, no one is that bothered.”
Phoebe Barnes squirmed her pink lips in aggravation, “Do I look like someone who can get into trouble to you? Couldn’t you have enjoined me to take care of myself or something like that like everyone else?”
“Phoebe Barnes,” the man’s lips curved a little cooler and his tone was harsh, “Are you three years old or can’t you take care of yourself? Someone who only causes me trouble, and you expect me to keep her in mind at all times?”
“…”
The woman did not bow her head this time, but tilted her small face to look him in the eyes and said seriously, “Then tell me where you go on business, I always think of you can.”
The man’s eyes were stunned for a moment, then he snorted and pinched her chin, “You’re so thick-skinned now that you can overshadow everyone, the good words are starting to be generated automatically.”
“That’s just for you, too.”
“…”
The man abruptly narrowed his eyes and stared at her face, his voice low and inexplicable, “Phoebe Barnes, you understand there’s no use playing this with me.”
Phoebe Barnes frowned and smiled to herself, “I casually said that in your eyes became ulterior motives, Miss Gu did so with ulterior motives, but I did not see you angry with her.”
He is so smart, she does not believe that he can not see anything, Miley Gu approach than she is much more clever.
Kemp Ross put down his chopsticks, his eyelids raised and his face instantly went cold, but he still hooked his lips and looked at her with a smirk, “You’ve said I like her, how could you possibly be angry with her?”
“…”
Very solid.
Probably denigrating Miley Gu, Phoebe Barnes looked at his somewhat emotionally discontented expression, the heart more difficult, pursed lips, a moment also dare not answer again.
…
The next morning, before dawn, Kemp Ross was then driven to the airport.
Phoebe Barnes didn’t know anything about him except that he was there on business.
After the men left, she returned to bed and went back to sleep until she was awakened by a phone call from Nancy MO.
“Phoebe, did you know that your man was in the news with that woman yesterday?”
“…”
Phoebe Barnes is sleeping with her eyes closed, sleepy as hell, murmuring, “I know, I was there yesterday, the reporters just didn’t notice.”
“Shit! Catching adultery na?” A woman’s tone got a little excited, “How come you didn’t even go up and slap that woman in front of the press? You are now recognized as Kemp Ross’ fiancée.”
Phoebe Barnes was speechless for a few seconds, soft drowsy eyes, hoarse voice said: “Let alone Kemp Ross will not waste me, Miss Gu is not a light, besides, compared with her, I am like that mistress, or do not be embarrassed.”
“You’re really something!” Nancy MO coolly and sarcastically said.
Phoebe Barnes hummed softly without saying a word, propped herself up, and slowly sat up from the bed.
Out of interest?
She has long since lost her edge in front of Kemp Ross.
“Is that what you woke me up for in the morning?”
Nancy MO heated smile, “of course not, yesterday morning to talk to you about that thing to consider how it? If you agreed, I’ll contact the producer now. My sisters are waiting to make money.”
“…”
Phoebe Barnes scratched her hair and had a bit of a headache, “Nancy, are you in such a hurry? The Phoenix Tour will start shooting soon, how can I have so much time to take those scenes of yours again?”
“Less time with your man not there?” Nancy MO Liang smiled, “There is a stage play inside, rehearsals will start in two days, I want you to guest star in a role, the location is in Li Zhou, catch a night flight back the next day, there should be no problem.”
Phoebe Barnes listened to her words as if she was talking to herself and her eyebrows jumped, when did this woman become another Kelsey Long?
She has seen a lot of stage plays, but has not really tried them yet, and it is something she has always wanted to try.
These days it happens that Kemp Ross is also out of town …
She frowned and pondered for a while and said, “I’ll discuss it with Sister Long later, and if it doesn’t delay me, I’ll go.”
Nancy MO was a little surprised, “Tch, why so quick this time?”
“He went away on a business trip today and is not at home for a few days.”
“…”
Nancy MO sneered and said with utmost contempt, “Phoebe Barnes, you are really wasted on a man, if Kemp Ross really doesn’t want you one day, you won’t fucking jump into the sea, will you?”
“Where is it that serious?” Phoebe Barnes rolled her eyes at the ceiling with a black line, “By the way, I said earlier that I asked you to do me a favor, do you have time now?”
Nancy MO was not nice, “What for?”
…
Carrying the computer to rush to the set, Megan Green walked over and said, “Sister Phoebe, I have already contacted for you to repair the computer, turn around and give me the computer.”
Kelsey Long unpacked her backpack and looked at it, the corners of her mouth tilted, “What indescribable things did you do to this computer? The clinker casing is all shattered and that expert can fix it for you?”
Megan Green was also baffled and laughed, “Sister Phoebe probably didn’t expect to fix it, she probably just had to copy out the contents.”
“Uh-huh, right.” Phoebe Barnes hid a smile and, without explaining too much, turned to her and said, “Hurry up as much as you can, I need to use it.”
“No problem!” Megan Green nodded as she took the backpack.
Kelsey Long raised his eyebrows and stared at the woman’s side face, suddenly hooking his lips in an evil smile, “This computer … wouldn’t be someone who dropped it on purpose, would it?”
How much force is needed to fall like this? Obviously does not seem to come from her hands.
Phoebe Barnes, with a twinkle in her eye, pretended not to hear, and pulled Megan Green’s away, “Megan , do my makeup.”
Kelsey Long, “…”
