Carl was embarrassed, smiled and said, “Shall I call you Miss Cindy?”
“Cindy Hu, are you to accompany me or accompany him?” At this time, Emma went downstairs after washing her hair, said unhappily to Cindy while wiping her hair and walking to the door of Carl.
Cindy awkwardly looked at Carl, and then followed Emma out.
After the two women went out, Carl continued to sit alone on the balcony thinking. He was very worried about Frost’s operation. In the past, everything was in his hands on the battlefield, even the life of the enemy was in his hands, but this time it was different. Frost’s life was in the hands of the doctor. He could do nothing but worry. He felt helpless, and he didn’t like such feeling.
After smoking a few cigarettes and sitting for about an hour, Carl got up, took out his clothes and went to the bathroom.
When Carl was taking a bath, Cindy went out from the bathroom on the second floor. When Cindy went to the room of Emma, Emma was making a phone call and went to the balcony after seeing Cindy come in. Cindy followed to the balcony, listening to the phone too.
“Work hard, I want to sleep, remember to take care of yourself.” Emma hung up the phone when Cindy was listening too.
“Remember to take care of yourself. My god, my lady, you are just in love.” Cindy said to Emma deliberately in a sweet voice.
Emma was blushed, “Leave me alone.”
“Well? When is your Jacky going to come back? Wait until he finishes the project he’s working on?” Cindy sat on the bed and asked Emma.
“Well, this project is very important to him, and if he makes it, he will get a lot of money, and most importantly, he will be able to raise his profile in the industry so that he can come back and find a better job.” Emma said.
“My lady, this is an obvious excuse, ok? If he really loves you and really wants to be with you, does he care about that? Besides, when he comes back to marry you, isn’t your family big enough for him to splurge? Money is just an excuse.” Cindy said angrily.
“He’s not that kind of person, and besides, I didn’t tell him anything about my family. He didn’t know we had such great assets. So don’t take him as one of those vain people?” Emma said to Cindy angrily.
“Ok, ok, I was wrong, I shouldn’t say bad things about your Jacky. But miss, how old are you this year? You’ve been waiting for him for three years. How many more years can you wait for him if he stays in America? Even if you wait until he comes back, will he still want you when you’re old? Woman is stupid when she meets love even she was smart, you are now a complete fool.” Cindy continued to scold.
“I trust him. He won’t lie to me.” Emma said firmly as before.
“Well, forget it.” Cindy suddenly had no interest on such topic.
Just then they heard the sound of a big iron gate outside. Emma, used to be alone, hurriedly ran out and checked. It was Carl closing the door.
“You always looked down upon Carl, but he is good to you. He only takes the salary for a bodyguard, but he is a bodyguard, driver for you. And now he closed the door.” Cindy ran out too and said to Emma when she saw Carl closing the door.
“It is different. I know he’s a good person and he helped me today, but I still don’t like him and I hate him.”
“He is rigid, wooden, and lifeless all day, and he can’t even speak more without a sense of humor. Being with someone like that all day is like being with a zombie. The most important is that he is too stingy. His salary is not low, which is 80, 000 dollars a year, even a white-collar cannot have such high salary. But, in addition to the suit I bought for him, the rest of clothes are not good. His shoes are worn out. His white shirt collar is yellowed. I don’t know how many years he has been wearing that. He has no quality of life, and he likes smoking.”
“Also, as you have seen from the dinner today, though it is only a business relationship between him and me, I am a woman and he is a man. How much is a meal? No one asked him to pay, but he didn’t want me to pay for him. Either he doesn’t pay or pay it all. I’ve never heard of a man who pays his own way at a meal, and I’m sure it’s the first time I’ve ever seen one.”
“To sum up, this man is a typical stingy, rigid man who likes to look good. I really don’t know where my father got the weird bodyguard.” Emma shook her head and said helplessly.
After listening to the words of Emma, Cindy was a little surprised, looking at Emma and said, “Do you really think so of him?”
“He is such a person, don’t you see? Cindy Hu, I really doubt your taste. I don’t know where your interest comes from. I don’t see anything in him that you should be interested in at all.” Emma said with some contempt.
“Emma, you may really wrong him, misunderstood him, I can guarantee that he is not the kind of person you say. Maybe he is frugal, but he has a point. Let me tell you a story. After listening to it, you may understand why he is so stingy.” Cindy said.
