“Shi-sensei understands doesn’t he?”
Ann Shi pulled the corners of her lips, her warm voice concealing an indefinable emotion, “I do know, but Ross won’t necessarily like me telling you this.”
Phoebe Barnes pursed her lips and clasped her small hands on the car door.
He is indeed not in a position to say this to her, said only to make the relationship between the two more awkward, and even a layer of ambiguity, after all, care for a woman pregnant with someone else’s child is a very awkward thing.
But when John Lu told her, she did not feel this way, maybe the guy is not used to being serious, what do not seem to be serious, get along with a little more comfortable.
She shrank back toward the car and said in a faint voice, “Mr. Shi, thank you for inviting the doctor over, I’ll take a break and go out, you go ahead and get busy.”
The man’s gaze fell on her face for a few seconds, or nodded, his tone flat, “Well, then you rest, I’ll wait for you over there.”
Phoebe Barnes watched him disappear before slowly pulling the door closed.
The body lies back, somewhat annoyed to close the eyes to rest.
After an hour break, she still went on to finish the remaining two scenes and would have liked to get a confession from Kewin Gu, but due to her health, she still had to let Kelsey Long take her back to the hotel first.
“Sister Phoebe, is Ross always in this hotel?” Megan Green, who is also in the car, curiously stretches her head to look at the hotel outside.
Phoebe Barnes got up and prepared to get out of the car, sniffed and wrinkled her nose for a moment and pondered, “It’s here, but I don’t know if it’s back.”
“Not in ah?” The little girl’s head drops and she sighs with loss, “I thought I could look up to President Fu’s handsome face, but this time I guess it’s out of the question.”
Kelsey Long in the driver’s seat grunted softly, “Not to mention you, I’ve never seen it either.”
She then looked at Phoebe Barnes with some excitement, revealing a thief’s smile, “Why don’t you take it out for a walk some day, and I’ll get to meet this rumored high-spirited, ascetic man.”
Phoebe Barnes, “…”
Walking? Walk the dog.
But she was still helpless to show her hands, “You want to see him, go see him yourselves, he doesn’t even bother to take care of me, let alone follow me out of the house.”
To be honest, I really haven’t gone out with him during the day, partly because he’s too busy, and partly because he’s just not interested, he’d probably rather sit in his study and read a book than bother with her small talk.
Megan Green beamed, “No way, so high and mighty.”
Phoebe Barnes laughs and doesn’t say anything.
Not high cold, he is really cold, cold as if nothing can cover the heat.
“I’m going in, you guys get back to the hotel.”
…
Inside the hotel suite, Phoebe Barnes took out her room card and swiped the door, casually pushing it open and walking in.
The living room was empty.
She casually took off her jacket and looked around for a moment, and it was quiet.
Opened the phone and looked at the time, then frowned.
He’s not back yet?
A poker game is even later than her shooting?
The heart is slightly moved, did not resist dialing a phone call over.
A few seconds later, the other side was connected and the man’s calm voice came out, “Hello.”
Hearing some noises in the background, she asked in a low voice, “Are you … still playing cards?”
“Well, you went back?” The man’s tone became warm and light.
“Hmm.” She hesitantly uttered, “So when are you … coming back?”
The man was silent for two seconds and said in a light voice: “You sleep first, I’ll be back soon.”
The woman’s slender eyebrows wrinkled more tightly, curled her lips, discontented: “It was originally a pastime to relax, you continue is to hurt the body, how to lose ah, and, over there sounds so chaotic, you can not come back now?”
Before the man could say anything, a soft woman’s voice suddenly came from the other side of the phone, “Senior, I’ll drink to you.”
Phoebe Barnes blushed slightly as she listened to the voice.
Something familiar, senior?
Is she addressing Kemp Ross?
Sherry Till?
Her tone stiffened slightly and she pulled her lips, “Kemp … aren’t you playing cards?”
Obviously, a drinking game over there.
What’s Sherry Till doing here?
The man did not have any ripples in his words, still warm and calm, “I’m a little noisy over here, good boy, you sleep first, I’ll go back later.”
After saying that, the other side cut off the call without waiting for her response.
Phoebe Barnes was stunned, the phone lingered in her ear for a few seconds before she slowly put it down, her small face a little ugly and her heart a little confused.
Obviously, for the man’s perfunctory response, she was a little uncomfortable in her heart.
In fact, Kemp Ross really just had a poker date, and as to why Sherry Till was there, he didn’t know and had little interest in exploring.
The people invited are mostly powerful people in Lanzhou, some are company bosses, some are rich and powerful, some are friends, some are just strangers; and this stranger, just Kemp Ross is strange to others, after all, not many don’t know him.
When the man put down his phone, the young male across the table flirted, “Ross, who were you talking to on the phone? You’ve just played a few games, you’re not leaving, are you?”
The poker player sitting next to him laughed contemptuously: “You don’t even know this, do you? Our Ross is a man with a woman in his family, you think all like you, 30 days a month to sleep in the place without repeating.”
The man’s breath was lazy, with little expression on his face, just looking down at his cards, without saying a word.
Then someone asked with a smile, “Kemp, I heard that your fiancée is an actress? It seems that she is also filming in Lanzhou, you are not here specifically to accompany her this time, right?”
“I also heard that the wedding is coming up, so it looks like we’ll all have to go and celebrate Ross’s total.”
A dozen or so of you joked about it.
The woman next to him seemed to be concentrating on opening the poker game, but also gently glanced sideways at the man, his eyes moving differently.
The man finally lifted his eyelids and said nonchalantly, “You are more interested in her than in me, should I call her over for your viewing pleasure?”
The crowd was stunned, and someone hurriedly made amends, “Brother Fu, it’s just a joke, come on, come on, let’s not talk about it, we punish ourselves with a drink.”
The scene is lively again.
Someone, unwilling to be silent, suddenly shifted the topic to the woman sitting next to the man, jokingly saying, “Big beauty Tang, I heard that you and brother Fu are alumni, isn’t senior brother and senior sister the best combination? How come you’re not near the water?”
The topic suddenly shifted to himself, Sherry Till obviously froze for a moment, looked at the man, disguised head down to take a sip of wine, elegant smile, also with a joking tone: “Of course, the senior is too good, can not be a small grass like me near? It’s good to be able to watch from a distance.”
In fact, when she entered Stanford, Kemp Ross just graduated and left, so, to be precise, she did not have the opportunity to get close to the water first, and later she returned to China to join the work, but also through the opportunity to work occasionally met him a few times.
