Midway through the meal, the man gave her a new bowl of soup while saying in a light voice, “Remember to listen to Campbell Butler and eat well while I’m gone.”
The woman nodded, and then, with a start, looked up at him, “Where are you … going?”
“Something happened in Jiangcheng and I need to go back.”
“When are you leaving?”
“Tonight.”
Phoebe Barnes was silent for a second, then nodded with a light smile, “Go back in peace, I’ll take care of myself.”
“Well, Campbell Butler will be staying over here, so if anything comes up, go straight to him.”
The woman took a small sip of soup, her crystal black eyes wandered for a moment, and suddenly asked in a ghostly voice, “So will you come back?”
Once the words were out she regretted it, he had come here on business, now go back naturally there is no need to come back, she asked this question does not show her heart is very concerned about it?
Her small face flushed with shame as she buried her head and pretended to drink her soup.
The man glanced at her, his ink-black eyes flashing low with a hint of laughter, “You’re enjoying my company here?”
The woman was embarrassed, cheeks more red, nervously skewed face, biting his lips dry smile, “No, I just want to tell you do not have to come back, you are busy in Jiangcheng is, my side of the situation at any time will let Campbell Butler report to you, if you have time … can listen to it. ”
“You don’t need to tell him what to do, he knows what to do.”
“Oh!”
The man again coldly admonished, “And Ann Shi, except for filming, less contact with him, he is not as simple as you think.”
Phoebe Barnes froze and puffed out both cheeks, “Oh!”
“And that Sherry Till, don’t turn upside down and go looking for trouble when you know your brain doesn’t turn as fast as hers.”
“… Oh!”
Phoebe Barnes had an inexplicable feeling as she listened to these things he had entrusted to her.
It’s like … these things he was going to handle himself without telling her, but because of what happened temporarily had to go …
She wrinkled her brow and suddenly looked him in the eye and asked, “Is something important going on over in Jiangcheng? Is it tricky?”
The man’s face has no ripples, just raised his hand and patted her head, nothing emotional said: “It’s the company’s business, not much to do with you, tell you can not intervene.”
Although he had little expression and was reluctant to tell her, Phoebe Barnes could sense a hidden, almost invisible fatigue in the man’s brow.
Her heart inexplicably soft ache accompanied by a trace of bitterness, nothing more than a wink, just a good nod, “Well, you pay attention to rest, take good care of yourself, do not have to worry about me.”
Has she started to become a burden to him?
Nothing can help, but also to give him trouble.
Wouldn’t he be a lot more relaxed now if it were Miley Gu instead?
Slowly dropping his eyes and bowing his head to drink his soup, just the right amount to hide all his emotions.
After the meal, Phoebe Barnes, who had been clamoring for him to take a walk with her, quickly changed her mind and took him by the arm, saying, “Let’s go back to the hotel and rest for a while, then I’ll take you to the airport.”
The man stood at the entrance of the restaurant, looked down at her and lifted his lips to snicker, his eyes with a hint of compulsion, “What, knowing that I’m leaving, so quickly changed his attention? Do you still want to go back to the hotel and have a breakup cannon again?”
“…”
Phoebe Barnes automatically ignored his dirty words and pouted emphatically, “It’s not a breakup, it’s a separation, a parting!”
As soon as she heard him say break up she was inexplicably scared.
The man’s dark pupils stagnated slightly, pinching her jaw and lifting it up, his voice sexy and low, “In your eyes these two words are very different?”
Phoebe Barnes’ heart skipped a beat and she stumbled nervously, “Dang, of course there’s a difference, did you teach your language to your gym teacher?”
The man stared at her with a smirk, “Oh? How about you teach me what the difference is?”
“…”
The woman’s small face instantly reddened, very quickly slapped away his hand, some shame and annoyance turned around and walked away, “Which is so much difference, go.”
The man did not move, his gaze was quiet and cool, he looked at his watch and said, “It’s too late to go back to the hotel, don’t you want to walk around?”
Phoebe Barnes stopped in her tracks, turned and stared at him in a daze, then pouted, as if gambling, “I’m too full to walk, or you can just go to the airport, don’t mind me.”
“You think I want to control you?”
The man approached her with a low sneer, “Throw a pregnant woman here, turn around and get picked up, it’s me who loses out.”
“…”
The woman looked at him sorrowfully, her tone sour, “I lost you do not feel the loss, two people lost together you feel the loss, who is heavy and who is light this is not clear? You have to make me uncomfortable before you leave?”
Kemp Ross just looked at her without explanation or response and casually took her by the hand and said, “There’s a park next to here.”
Before the woman could react, he led her directly in that direction.
In the evening, the park is full of people, men and women, mostly out for a leisurely walk after dinner.
The man was wearing an expensive dark suit obviously with some mismatch around, handsome face can not see impatience, but also not much warmth.
“What’s so great about hanging out in a crowded place like this?”
Phoebe Barnes took his arm and looked around at the people coming and going, smiling softly, “Smoke and mirrors, at least it’s more interesting than those pandemonium bars you go to.”
“There’s not more smoke and mirrors in the bar than this?”
“…”
Phoebe Barnes turned her head to glare at him and whispered in discontent, “You dragged me here, I didn’t expect you to talk with me like they did, but you don’t have to give me a hard time, do you? It’s just a walk, you don’t have to talk if you don’t want to.”
After that, she looked with some envy at a couple not far away who were communicating intimately with each other.
Hey, when will they be like that?
I guess that is not possible.
Just the whole park has not yet strolled through, Phoebe Barnes because can not stand to follow the men around to see the women ended the walk early, the mood is also depressed to the point of no return.
The man curved his lips and deliberately taunted, “Why aren’t you shopping anymore? Don’t you like to pretend to be affectionate like this?”
“…”
The woman gritted her teeth and said with a leathery smile, “I still think the gardens at the Bishouen residence are more beautiful.”
The man twitched his eyebrows and gave her a contemptuous look.
The two walked down the road for a few minutes, and Campbell Butler caught up in his car, followed by a white car.
“Chief Ross, it’s time, let me take you to the airport.”
The man nodded, looked at the woman, and said, “You take that car in the back, and the driver will take you back to the hotel.”
“No!” Phoebe Barnes immediately clung to his arm, “I’ll go to the airport with you, too, and just have Campbell Butler drop me off back at the hotel later?”
“Aren’t you tired? Go back and rest early.”
“Not tired!” The woman was busy shaking her head, “Why don’t you just let me drive you there?”
