Phoebe Barnes just smiled and didn’t say anything.
When she got on the plane, she sent a message to Kemp Ross on WeChat.
[I got on the plane].
After a few seconds, and added a sentence, [take care of yourself at home …]
The words were deleted again before she could type them all out.
He is not a child, she sent this sentence is too pretentious.
At this time in the company temporary overtime meeting of Kemp Ross after the light swept to the hand screen lit up cell phone, the gaze naturally moved over.
A dozen senior executives were still speaking below, and he moved his fingers down to flick open his phone.
After staring at the screen for a long time, his thin lips were slightly pursed and he returned a hmm word.
At his one monosyllable, Phoebe Barnes wasn’t surprised, just a little lost, what was he doing now?
He told him yesterday that he was leaving tonight, but he didn’t care at all?
Head down, deflated like the phone put away, her small expression written full of depression.
Ann Shi, who was sitting not far away, glanced sideways and saw her side, her eyes deepened, and took out her phone to send a message.
[What’s wrong? Are you uncomfortable?
Phoebe Barnes, who received the message, was slightly stunned, gazed in the man’s direction, and then returned three words, [I’m fine.
The flight attendant happened to be pushing a cart by, and she waved and asked for the most acidic drink she could find and took a sip with satisfaction.
Megan Green’s eyes changed slightly and her small face came over, pretending to be puzzled and asking, “Sister Foam, aren’t you physiological? Let me get you some hot water.”
“…”
Phoebe Barnes was about to send a glass to the mouth so suddenly froze in mid-air, twisted her head to squeeze out a smile, “… too thirsty, I gave to forget … thank you. ”
She was just trying to eat something sour and came without any snacks, which was almost embarrassing.
Megan Green actually got up and poured her hot water, not forgetting to take the juice out of her hand.
Phoebe Barnes licked her lips and swallowed hard.
The last pregnancy was not as obvious as this one.
As soon as she looked up, she met the eyes of Ann Shi looking over from afar, she froze and returned a smile Rong, sweet and impeccable.
Ann Shi was that smile Rong shook his eyes, handsome face showed a complex expression, smile shallow, fingers moved, and sent a message over, [time is still early, you rest a while.
[Well, so are you.]
Phoebe Barnes finished typing, didn’t look much, and casually clicked send.
But the next moment, her face changed abruptly, and her hands went to withdraw in shock.
She actually sent it to Kemp Ross …
It’s over. It’s over. …
Although it was withdrawn in seconds, Phoebe Barnes really wasn’t sure if he saw it.
After half a minute of staring at the phone with anxiety and no response, she was slightly relieved, and her small hand touched the cold sweat on her forehead that was unnecessary.
But she was happy too early, Kemp Ross in the first second she sent over the sweep, there was little temperature of the man immediately turned into a pool of cold water, even the air pressure in the entire conference room have dropped several degrees, the people doing the reporting above are unconsciously paused, thought they said something wrong, carefully swept a glance at the man.
This state has been maintained until the end of the meeting, Kemp Ross did not touch the phone, but handsome face like covered with a thin layer of frost, cold and eerie.
Sleeping until the plane landed, Phoebe Barnes wearily followed the two out of the airport.
“Phoebe,” Ann Shi, who came down first, waited for her at the entrance of the passageway, warmly without a trace of overstep, seemingly just asking out of gentlemanliness, “Which hotel are you staying at, I’ll have someone send you there.”
Phoebe Barnes stroked the messy hair around her ear and smiled softly, “You have acquaintances on Ms. Shi’s side too?”
“No, I have two cars waiting outside on the plane in advance that can take you there.”
Phoebe Barnes face a burst of gratitude, and some guilt, “But … is too much trouble for you guys.”
Kelsey Long was not embarrassed at all and smiled generously, “Mr. Shi, thank you so much, it saves us from having to wait any longer, we will definitely let our Phoebe treat you to dinner some day.”
Phoebe Barnes, “…”
The man hooked his lips and smiled lightly, his gaze fell on the woman’s face, “I remembered to buy dinner, you look tired, go back to rest first.”
With so many people around, Phoebe Barnes couldn’t refuse, and she was indeed a bit tired, so she said a few thanks and followed Kelsey Long.
The man quietly watched the woman’s departing back until she disappeared.
The assistant behind him couldn’t help but voice out, “Brother Ann, I’ve never seen you so gentle with a woman.”
The man’s thin lips lifted up a slight arc, meaningful, “Is that so?”
Another assistant also smiled, “I found that you are really good to Miss Barnes. If she doesn’t have a fiancé already, I think brother you have a good chance.”
The man’s eyes floated slightly, inserted one hand into his pants pocket, turned and swept a glance at the two, and said in a light voice: “Let’s go.”
So devoted to Kemp Ross, would she leave anyone else a chance?
Besides, does the man really not care about her at all?
…
Arriving at the hotel, it was eleven o’clock at night, and Phoebe Barnes debated whether to call Kemp Ross to say she had arrived.
Afraid of disturbing his sleep, she still chose to send a text message, and then did not wait for a response before she went into the bathroom with her clothes.
When she finished washing and opened the door and came out, the phone on the bed happened to ring, her eyes lit up and she ran over barefoot without even putting on her shoes.
“Kemp.”
“At the hotel?” The man’s slightly muffled voice came out slowly.
Phoebe Barnes sat on the bed and then said good-naturedly, “Well. That … you’re still awake?”
It sounded like she had woken her up from sleep.
“Hmm.” The man gave a careless hmm, then mocked in a light voice, “The people I sent an hour earlier said they didn’t get you. phoebe barnes, I see you have quite a wide network.”
“Huh?” The woman was startled and a little confused, “You sent someone to pick me up? Then why didn’t you call me?”
“So excited to talk with others, free to take my call?” The man’s tone was always light, magnetic and good, and could not hear any joy or anger.
“…”
Phoebe Barnes’ expression froze, did he still see the message she withdrew?
She stood up, her voice softened as she explained, “I didn’t talk to anyone for long, I just happened to run into Ms. Ann Shi on the plane and said a few more words, just two, I can send you the cutscene, really.”
The woman’s sworn assurance made the man’s face on the other side of the phone even more sullen.
He sneered, “Phoebe Barnes, do you still think you’re ten years old? If you met on the plane, you could talk to each other, so if you met at the hotel, you could just roll into bed? You don’t remember anything about the last time you were on a plane, do you?”
“…”
“Do you have to think that way? If I met a woman you’d think so too?” Phoebe Barnes couldn’t understand and was a little aggrieved, “Even a stranger would say hello, and besides, he was just being nice and helping me out.”
The man snorted coldly, “He’s got a good heart, my ass.”
“…”
