“Well, I hope so.” Cindy nodded, did not continue this issue.
Cindy and Emma left after dinner. The two people needed to go to work the next day, also they did not continue to hang out. Following Emma, Carl got into the car. When Carl was ready to start the car, Emma suddenly said, “Carl, there is a house on the opposite side of our community, where I can get you a house. I can find a better floor, ensure that you can totally see my house, so that if I really have something you can be the first time to notice. What do you think?”
After listening to Emma’s words, Carl had no expression on face, but started the car.
Emma was angry since Carl said nothing for a while, and then asked, “Give me a answer.”
“Miss Li, I have answered the same question to you several times, and I repeat that your father hired me to keep you safe. What I should do is arranged by your father. I have labor relations with your father, and it is not up to me to decide what to do.” Carl said lightly.
“Carl, I am very grateful to you about the matter in the elevator. You helped me, I am not a person who does not know how to be grateful. But let’s get down to business. Do you think I really need any bodyguards? Do you think I really need you to protect me?”
“I am 27 years old now, and I have grown up with no one to protect me all the time. What’s more, I am no longer a child. I am a normal person, I need freedom and my own space. Although you said you can look at nothing and do not listen to anything, but you are still a person, not a stone. It bothers me with you following me all day long. Do you think I’ll be happy if I’m being watched?”
“Of course, I won’t say any more. After all, my father arranged it, and he cares about me, and I can live with that. But I cannot share a room with a strange man.”
“I believe you, but to be honest, in fact I do not trust you. I know you no more than six hours, talked with each other less than 20 sentences. and I have no good impression on you. So I won’t agree that you live in my house. It is not only me, even all the girls can’t do it.”
Emma finally got angry. On this issue she has discussed many times with Carl, even begged Carl, but Carl didn’t agree, which made Emma very angry.
Carl seemed not notice Emma’s anger, but drove the car carefully. He did not look back, even the expression on the face did not change a bit.
“I know what you’re trying to say. You’re trying to say that these things have nothing to do with you. You’ll do it as soon as I get my father to agree, won’t you? But in fact I don’t want to discuss about it with my father. My father’s is very stubborn, so long as he is determined, no one can change it. I don’t want to provoke him for such a small thing, because once I insisted on studying abroad, but he didn’t agree. I finally I walk alone, it made him very sad. Later, he arranged a blind date for me many times, and I refused him every time, which made him very angry. I know I was too willful, without considering his feelings. Therefore, I don’t want to make him sad because of such a small thing this time, do you understand?”
“I don’t want you to do much, just don’t let you live in my house at night, in fact, I have done a lot of regressions, I did not drive you away, did not deliberately get rid of you to embarrass you, why can you agree? Why are you so sincere?”
“Even if you don’t stay at night, my father won’t know. Even if he knows, you can tell him the truth, and I’m sure he won’t blame you. You’re a man and you don’t feel how terrifying it is for a woman to suddenly have to sleep in a confined space with a very strange man. I confess I shall never be able to fall asleep.” Emma said a little hysterically.
Carl did not speak, but said after a long time, “I agree. I will see you home later. I will not enter your house. You can sleep in peace.”
Carl’s word made Emma to froze, since the stubborn Carl suddenly changed his mind. She cannot even believe her ears and said after a while, “Thank you. I’m sorry I just said a lot of bad words, I hope you don’t mind. I… I said it in a fit of pique.”
“It doesn’t matter.” Carl lightly said, driving the car, and did not turn around from beginning to end.
The car drove in at the entrance to a high-end villa community. The security guard saw the familiar car and familiar license plate and let the car in without asking. According to the guidance of Emma, Carl smoothly drove into a villa yard, and then into the garage after Emma got off.
“I will not go in. but I must ask, who else is in your family? Like babysitters.” After getting off the car, giving car keys to Emma, Carl asked.
“No, I’m the only one at home. I want to be independent, and I don’t like to be taken care of. So I don’t have a servant. As you have just seen, the property security measures here are very good, strangers cannot come in. In addition, I have a fence here, there is a big iron gate, I shut the iron gate at night so that no one can come in, you can rest assured. Thank you, Carl. I hope you won’t tell my father about this. I don’t want him to be sad by considering I am capricious and rebellious, and I also don’t want him to worry about me.” Emma said to Carl gratefully.
“Ok, go in. Remember to lock the door, this is my mobile phone number, if you need help, you can call me or send me a text message. I’ll close the iron gate outside. You don’t have to worry. I’ll pick you up in the morning on time.” Carl nodded faintly said.
