Hearing what Carl said, Emma once again widened her eyes. She really did not understand these sensational things were true or not. However, she believed that Carl said that promise and responsibility were more important than life. Judging from the contact with Carl on that day, he was indeed a person who paid attention to principles, even to the point of being very rigid.
“Forget it, Carl, I lost, I admit that you are my Nemesis. Come and live in the house. You can live downstairs and I can live upstairs, but there is one thing you must observe. You must not go upstairs.” After thinking for a long time, Emma finally said haggardly and helplessly.
“No, but thank you. I have my own way of working. I won’t interfere in your life and you can ignore me.” Carl lightly said, and then turned away.
“Carl, don’t you challenge my bottom line again and again. I’ll sleep in the big bed up there, and you sleep down there. It will be ok if I don’t see it. How can I be at ease now that I see it? Do you have to torture me? Go in and sleep, right now, or I’m going to call my dad right now and fire you, and threaten him with death if he doesn’t agree. You make me feel bad.” Emma was angry again.
Carl was stunned, later nodded after carefully considering Emma’s words, “I will go to the garage to get a piece of luggage.”
Looking at Carl into the garage, she had never felt so wronged, with Emma’s tears almost coming out. Although Carl did not bully her, she had abnormal discomfort and pain. For what Carl had done, she cannot do anything. There was a sense of grievance. She hated more Carl out of no reason.
In fact, she knew that Carl did so in fact is to accommodate her, because she didn’t allow Carl to live in her house, Carl had no choice but slept in a pavilion in the small garden without violating his own principles.
Carl carried his military canvas bag directly into the house, Emma followed behind.
“Which room do I live in?” Carl went to the living room, turned to ask Emma.
“You may choose the one you like. There are two bedrooms downstairs with all the bedding. Remember, never go upstairs, or…” Emma said.
Before she could finish her words, Carl directly carried the package into a bedroom.
Emma was angry about Carl’s completely rude behavior. She really didn’t understand that why others bodyguards listened to their employer, but as his employer, she had to listen to her bodyguard. Thinking the day that she got along with Carl, Carl was actually leading her.
Emma angrily looked at Carl, and then walk into the room on the second floor and also deliberately locked the door.
Emma was not sleepy after that, she didn’t know whether she was afraid that that strange man would come to the room and did something dirty to her in the middle of the night.
Thinking of a strange man living downstairs made her feel a little hairy. She took a pair of scissors out of the drawer and hid them under the pillow. In doing so, she felt a little calmer, but still could not fall asleep. Listening carefully to the sound of downstairs, she wanted see if she can hear a step upstairs, but, it was quiet.
Emma finally fell asleep after suffering in insecurity anxiety all the time. When alarm clock rang, it already was 7 o’clock in the next morning. Emma got up, rubbed her eyes, then reminded that Carl was in the house, immediately woke up to check her clothes, and looked at the door, Seeing nothing strange, she felt relieved and got up from the bed, opened the bedroom French window curtain to receive the first touch of sunshine in the morning.
When Emma stretched herself, she saw in the yard there was a person doing push-ups. This person could only be Carl. Carl was wearing a pair of camouflage trousers and a white vest. His body pulled up and down on the ground in a fast speed, almost without any pause. Emma can’t imagine someone can do push-ups so fast and so standard. Looking at Carl’s bared arm muscles, Emma startled, the man’s body was really strong, which was not like the muscle male in the gym. Carl’s muscle is very strong, not exaggerated but harmonious.
Emma can’t help but to start counting how many push-ups Carl had done, following Carl’s pace. Finally after half an hour Carl got up. Emma was stunned looking at Carl. In almost half an hour, he made almost two thousand push-ups. It was shocking. At least Emma has never heard of it, is he a real person?
For Emma, it’s almost impossible, but for Carl, it’s just a daily routine, like an old lady in a park doing tai chi or a square dance every morning. They have been chosen to be the top two hundred soldiers from major military regions for training, in which the last one would be eliminated until 10 people left. So the ten people are top soldiers, who had tremendous strength.
When Emma went downstairs after washing, Carl has been sitting at the table eating steamed stuffed bun and deep-fried dough sticks.
“It’s still hot.” Seeing Emma go down, Carl pointed to the two steamed stuffed bun.
“How can you eat this in the morning? It’s neither hygienic nor nutritious.” Emma frowned and said, and then she went to the refrigerator to take out milk and bread to sit before the table, asked Carl, “How many pieces do you want?”
“Thank you, but no, I can’t get used to it.” Carl lightly said, and then picked up the two steamed stuffed bun for Emma to eat up with a few bites.
“I’ll drive the car out and wait for you outside.” Carl said lightly after eating, and then directly went out.
