Oops!
How was she going to explain?
Tell her straight out that her grandfather might not approve of them being together, so they had to lay low and not let anyone know?
Kennedy would probably think she was a psychopath.
Thinking about it, Alice could only say ruefully.
-I’ve only been with the company for a few days and I’m walking with you, so I can only imagine what they’ll say about me when everyone sees me.
But Kennedy had already believed that the girl didn’t want anyone to see them together, and he was a little annoyed, so he didn’t react to her words, and his face remained cold.
Alice could only reach over and tug at his sleeve.
-Do you want to see me get scolded?
As he drove, Kennedy looked at her tender white hands, so small he could wrap them in his large palms. His cold, hard heart softened a little at the thought, and he looked at her less coldly than before, but there was still emotion in his eyes.
The road was deserted, and Kennedy drove with one hand, grasping Alice’s hand by the sleeve with the other.
The small, soft white hand was wrapped in her large palm, Kennedy squeezed her hand as she looked straight ahead, -Whoever dares to curse you is being against me, how many people want to do that in the whole off-duty company?
Alice was speechless.
Who would have a problem with her boss? Alice hadn’t expected him to say that and it warmed her heart a little.
She couldn’t help but let out a laugh before saying.
-That’s not with you on the surface, they’ll keep saying in secrets-.
In this world, there were ways to fend off a thousand armies and a forest of bullets and rain, the only thing that couldn’t be solved was gossip.
Indeed, Kennedy’s brow furrowed again at his words.
-Don’t take them to heart, what do I care what anyone says? I don’t care about gossip or rumors.
He was the only one she cared about.
Even though Alice said she didn’t care, the words crawled like a torrent through her bloodstream and Kennedy remembered them.
Kennedy sent her home, remembering that George had asked her to come home early today because he had something to tell her, when she hears Alice say.
-We’ll go to the supermarket later to buy food, the fridge at home is almost out of stuff.
Home?
Kennedy looked at her thoughtfully.
-Well
After getting out of the car, it just so happened that the owner was walking his dog at that time of day, so they ran into him again.
Alice had to wonder in her mind how time conscious this owner really was.
The timing of the encounter was really good, each time the owner was bound to meet him before he was out the door, either on the stairs or when he was almost at the door.
-Alice, you brought your boyfriend back, you two are very affectionate-.
The landlord greeted Alice enthusiastically and gave Kennedy a second glance.
Alice pursed her lips in embarrassment and was about to say something when she felt someone wrap their arms around her waist beside her. Then she saw Kennedy nod toward the landlord and call out to her in passing.
What?
Why did he call the landlady?
-Excuse me, is there another whole floor here?
The landlord froze, and paused to ask suspiciously, -What’s the matter, is there something wrong with that?
Alice was also puzzled, she had no idea that Kennedy would suddenly greet the landlord and ask such a question.
Kennedy pursed her lips and nodded.
-Well, is there more?
Seeing that he didn’t say why, the landlord was a bit puzzled, but still said sincerely,
-No, this was the top floor when Alice came, I saw she was leaving the country alone so I rented it to her cheap. What about the house?
Kennedy frowned, but said nothing more, so Alice could only say, -It’s nothing, it’s just that I have a friend who wants to rent an apartment recently, so I’m just asking, sorry to interrupt, we don’t have anything else.
When she finished, she smiled sardonically, then pulled Kennedy’s hand over hers and went upstairs.
After the landlady left, Alice opened the door as she said.
-Why are you asking her these questions all of a sudden? I think this house is fine…..
She walked in while putting on her indoor slippers.
-Is it all right? -At that, Kennedy narrowed her eyes slightly. Don’t you want to live somewhere else?
Alice straightened up and turned her head toward him at the word.
-A different place to live? Why?
Kennedy wanted her to live with him?
No… If they were living together, he wouldn’t have asked the landlord like that.
He was asking if there were other rooms available.
Seeing that she was looking at him with a confused expression and that Kennedy’s eyes were slightly droopy, he suddenly stepped forward to wrap his arms around her waist and press his head against her.
-Do you expect me to accompany you every time you come to “hear the play”?
Listen to the play?
Alice gaped at first, but after seeing the light in his eyes flicker and fade, hiding an unfamiliar emotion, Alice suddenly reacted….
She was referring to the screams of the woman next door yesterday.
Alice fell silent.
She had forgotten, but she hadn’t expected him to remember.
In an instant, Alice’s face flushed up to her ears.
-It’s not like you live here, even if you want to hear the play, it’s after ten o’clock. Besides, it’s not every night…
Realizing something, she stopped abruptly and looked at Kennedy, who was standing so close she almost bit her tongue.
Fuck!
“What did I just say…?”
She covered her face.
Indeed, the light in Kennedy’s eyes had now darkened completely, and his hand around her waist moved slowly, his tone taking on a dangerous hue.
-After ten o’clock?
Alice didn’t know how to explain.
-Looks like you’ve been following him, huh?
-I…
-didn’t you?
Kennedy took a few more steps forward and the distance between them came closer again, Alice could clearly see the delicate fuzz on his skin.
