Phoebe Barnes’ face eased a bit, half a moment, frowning at him, “Your father’s not mad that you sold the company?”
“No? I’ve already made a few calls to get the hell out of there.” John Lu looked at his phone, but he didn’t look scared at all, stood up, rubbed her head and teased, “Don’t forget to take me in if I get kicked out of the house by the old man later. I’ll leave now.”
Phoebe Barnes slapped his hand away in disgust and scolded in no good humor, “Mr. Lu had better wake you up, with a no-good son like you, he’s probably pretty bad.”
“…”
John Lu hooked his lips, and did not say anything, waved his hand and walked away.
Phoebe Barnes wanted to ask who the new boss was, but she didn’t, but her heart was puzzled, she was able to buy out Shengtian, and her financial power was estimated to be not small, who was it?
Does Kemp Ross know?
Work was over and Phoebe Barnes went back to the Bayside Residence in the evening, not very late, and Kemp Ross had not yet returned.
Put down the luggage, changed clothes, feeling a little hungry, ran downstairs to the kitchen to find food.
Chen Ma came back to the kitchen after cleaning up her room and saw her rummaging through the fridge, and smiled, “Madam, I’ll help you make whatever you want to eat.”
Phoebe Barnes was taken aback for a moment and was busy laughing dryly, “Make me a bowl of noodles, something lighter.”
Chen Ma washed her hands and smiled, “Madam, seeing that you have such a good appetite, why don’t I make some shredded chicken noodles? There’s still chicken soup in the fridge.”
Her wife, in order to keep in shape, usually rarely adds a meal in the evening, unless she does not eat dinner and comes back to eat with her husband.
“No, no need!” Phoebe Barnes playful face slightly changed, busy fell shaking his small head, “No chicken soup, just a bowl of clear water noodles is good … otherwise too many calories will be fat.”
The past few days at Nancy’s place was tortured by her, and when she heard all kinds of soup she wanted to vomit.
“Oh, so, wait a moment then, it will be ready soon.”
Chen’s mother set out to make it for her.
Phoebe Barnes, however, did not leave immediately, still in the kitchen looking for something, big eyes looking around, some dumb and cute.
Chen Ma was a bit confused, “Madam, what else do you need to find? You’re not familiar with the kitchen, shall I find it for you?”
“No, you go about your business, I’ll find some fruit.” Phoebe Barnes pulled her lips into a smile.
Kemp Ross came back from the office, walked into the villa, saw the woman nestled in the living room sofa looking down at the tablet, her small hands kept stuffing food into her mouth.
“And you know to come back?”
At the sound of the voice, Phoebe Barnes was so shocked that she almost got stuck in the fruit, coughed lightly, got up and jogged over to him, came up to him and smiled delicately, “You’re back?”
The man looked down at her moist lips, which seemed to be stained by the juice, glistening and pink, with a bit of temptation, his throat bone rolled slightly, he asked in a light voice, “What are you doing?”
“Read the script.”
The man raised his eyebrows slightly, took off his suit jacket, pinched her face and snorted lightly, “Why do I think you’re still not concentrating on your food by reading the script?”
“…”
The woman puffed out her cheeks and said glutinously, “Not at all? I am obviously working very hard.”
“Haven’t had dinner yet?”
“Just had a little.”
The man naturally took her hand and sat on the sofa, swept a glance at the fruit plate full of grape skins on the table, and did not think much about it, his voice was warm and light: “Next month, grandpa’s birthday, you prepare.”
“Grandpa’s birthday?” Phoebe Barnes was stunned, then slapped her forehead and smiled guiltily, “I almost gave it a miss.”
The man glanced at her coolly, “What else can you remember in this brain besides your lines?”
The woman’s small mouth a natural answer, “You.”
“…”
The man stared at her face for a few seconds before he spoke out coldly, “Phoebe Barnes, those who know think you’re trying to please me, those who don’t think you’re trying to seduce me. I can’t see that your needs are greater than mine.”
Phoebe Barnes, “…”
The woman blushed, not to mention seducing, she now does not even dare to touch him, or the pregnancy will certainly be discovered by him.
Her head turned around extremely quickly, she gently bit her lips, digressing and carefully said, “The new drama shooting, to go to the film and television base in Lanzhou, I may not be able to go home in the recent period of time.”
The man lifted his eyelids to look at her, but did not immediately show any attitude, only asked, “How long will it take?”
Phoebe Barnes’ eyes averted for a moment and whispered, “Two … two months.”
Two months is enough time for her to consider where this child should go.
Afraid of his anger, she hastened to add, “I can come back often in between, if …”
She lowered her head and blinked pitifully, “If you have time … you can also go over to visit the class.”
Of course, visitation, she does not expect it, as long as he will not suspect anything.
The man drank water from his cup, no emotion could be seen on his face, only when she finished, he lifted his eyelids and snorted coldly from his throat, “You are planning to dedicate yourself to that shitty drama of yours, aren’t you?”
The woman’s face wilted, and her mouth was agitated, “What do you mean by a broken drama? At least my first female drama, do you have to say it in such a discriminatory tone?”
The man put down his cup and glanced at her, “Or else how sublime do you still think you are?”
With that, he stood up, intending to go upstairs.
Phoebe Barnes was stunned and extremely quick to grab his sleeve, saying softly, “So you’re saying yes?”
The man’s handsome face is slightly sunken, his voice is low and cold, looking at her from above, “I said I don’t care about your work. You have already signed the contract, so why do you have to come over here to ask my opinion? If I say you’re not allowed to go, you won’t go? Hmm?”
He lifted her jaw and laughed lightly, “Or perhaps it could be put this way, I’ll help you pay for the breach of contract and you don’t go? Hmm? Promise?”
Phoebe Barnes face darkened slightly, laughing Rong slowly disappeared.
The most for a runner, her scenes are usually relatively small, like this with the group a few months have not been, so long not home, she can actually understand his anger, this is her intentional, so even if he did not promise her to insist.
“Heh …”
The man let out a low, cold snorting chuckle and patted her little face, his tone cool, “So why do you have to beat around the bush in front of me, you never have to explain to me how long you want to stay somewhere.”
Shaking off her hand, Kemp Ross turned and lifted his steps up the stairs.
Phoebe Barnes looked at his back with some loss on her face.
He was clearly just upset, so maybe he held back a bit and she told him about the pregnancy once she got soft.
As he was struggling, the phone on his desk vibrated.
Nancy MO called.
Guessing what she was going to ask, she picked up the phone and ran outside the villa to answer it.
“Nancy.”
“Is Kemp Ross home yet?”
Phoebe Barnes said softly, “Well, it’s back.”
Nancy MO sounded even more anxious than she was, “So did he find anything out? What will you do if he turns around and wants to sleep with you?”
