Nora was almost sober on the way back, but now she was more sober. She could hear her heart beating fast. She had bent down, but now she straightened up slowly, smiling at Kingsley like a fool, “So you are at home.”
She didn’t know how to face Kingsley. It was impossible to cry. So, she could only smile.
Looking at her flattering smile, Kingsley became angrier.
Kingsley did not speak. Nora guessed that he was not in a good mood. So what? She was also in a bad mood. So, she changed her shoes and prepared to go upstairs to take a bath and go to sleep. However, the man’s cold voice came from the stairs, “Stop!”
Nora stopped the pace and turned back. She was confused and looked at him.
Kingsley, who was sitting on the sofa, leaned forward slightly. He said with a consistent taunt, “You are so brave now. You not only stay out all night, but also dare to fight with others. Do you want to go to jail?”
Nora admitted that she was a little impulsive today. But she was angry because her friends were beaten. So, she explained, “my friends have been bullied, I can’t ignore it!”
She was talking back!
Kingsley was even angrier. Thinking of what she had said before, he said coldly, “Friends? You have so many friends.”
Nora held her hand on the banister and pursed her lips.
“Why don’t I know that you, who is excellent in character and learning, have a gangster friend who has dropped out of school early?”
Nora explained, “He is not a gangster. He dropped out of school because of…” She said half, looking at Kingsley’s eyes which got colder and colder, Nora suddenly dared not say. However, she was a little strange. Kingsley seemed to know the people around her very well.
Nora was afraid that Kingsley would settle accounts with her afterwards. She softened her tone and began to admit her mistake. “I’m sorry. I’m too impulsive today. I won’t do this next time.”
Kingsley seldom saw such a flexible man. He was still angry. After a while, he pointed to the kitchen. “I’m hungry, and you go to cook.”
He spoke arrogantly and impolitely. Nora was tired to the extreme. She said, “Why don’t you order takeout? There should be takeout now.”
“I ask you to cook, do you hear me?”
Nora clenched her hands tightly. Kingsley had married her. She didn’t blame him when he was entangled with other women. He still yelled at her now. It was too annoying. However, Nora didn’t want to and didn’t dare to argue with Kingsley. So, she went to the kitchen in silence and looked at the refrigerator. There were some tomatoes and raw eggs in it.
Nora was still unhappy to be ordered by Kingsley like this. Her face darkened and she regarded the tomato as Kingsley, and then chopped it down.
Kingsley sat on the sofa in the living room. Listening to the sound coming from the kitchen, he frowned fiercely.
He was staring at the busy figure in the kitchen, and his thoughts were all affected by her.
In fact, he was not able to see his heart clearly now. There were too many things in his heart. He wanted to help his father clear his reputation and took back all that belonged to the Baxters.
After a while, Nora came out of the kitchen and put the bowl on the table. “The meal is ready!”
Kingsley got up from the sofa and went to the dining table. Looking at the noodles which looked ugly, he frowned and snorted, “Is this for human to eat?”
Looking at him, Nora asked, “Aren’t you human?”
Nora was really tired. Kingsley’s words angered her. So, she blurted out these words.
Kingsley, “…”
The man, who was always gifted with eloquence and was invincible in business, was speechless at the moment.
“Do you still eat?” Nora asked.
Kingsley was a man who had a bad temper. He immediately threw the chopsticks aside impolitely and said, “No.” Then, he turned around and went upstairs.
Nora took a breath and said to herself not be angry. She sat down and took a few bites of noodles with chopsticks. Then, she frowned. It tasted terrible. It seemed that Kingsley’s choice was right.
She cleared the table. When she walked into the kitchen, there was a little water on the ground. she slipped and did not stand firmly. The bowl in her hands fell to the ground.
All the bowls at home were Hermes high-grade bone bowls. They all broke into several pieces at once. She said to herself that there was no need to wash the bowls. She squatted down to pick up the pieces. However, she was accidentally scratched on her finger, and blood suddenly came out.
Bearing for a long time, Nora finally cried out.
She was like a strong purple vine. No matter how big the wind and rain, she would not easily cry. But now, she could not stand it.
A man had been repressed for a long time, and a little thing would make him collapse. Nora exploded her all emotions at this time.
She was so miserable and unfortunate. She hated herself why she liked a person who didn’t like her and was upset all day long.
While cleaning up, Nora scolded Kingsley as a villain. Of course, she could only scold him behind his back. In front of him, she still would not.
Kingsley sneezed inexplicably upstairs. He wanted to go down to have a look at Nora, but he finally did not do it.
The next day, Nora went to the company with red and swollen eyes. For the concern of her colleagues, she explained she did not have a good rest.
The whole design department was busy with the bidding of this project. Shawn was anxious. This time, they had no absolute advantage, but they really wanted to get this opportunity. They had thought about all kinds of ideas. They even prepared for the high-level list of the Rivertown Group and was about to give gifts one by one.
Nora charged the pen. With her understanding of Kingsley, he was not the kind of person who did not distinguish between public and private. Kingsley would not agree to give them a chance unless their design was excellent and met his taste.
When Nora was in a daze, Steven knocked on the table and asked, “Nora, do you have any idea?”
Hearing her name was suddenly called, Nora looked up in a hurry. “I think it’s better for us to work hard on our works.”
Someone snorted scornfully. It should be Spencer. Spencer showed great hostility to her from the first day she came here. Nora didn’t understand why!
Steven closed the folder, announced the end of the meeting, and left.
When Nora got back to her seat, Shawn came to her and handed her a business card. “This is the business card of Kingsley’s special assistant. You can call and ask.”
Looking at the card, Nora suddenly felt pain in the temple. She said bitterly, “Do I have to do this?”
“Yes!”
She couldn’t disobey the orders of her boss, right? After a great ideological struggle, Nora dialed Louis’s mobile phone number.
As soon as she just said a word, Louis said, “Hey, Mrs. Nora. What can I do for you?”
For a moment, Nora lost her words. It took her a long time to say, “How do you know it’s me?”
Louis was cold and he concealed his dislike of Nora. He secretly glanced at his boss who looked down at the documents and didn’t answer.
Nora took a deep breath and asked, “Mr. Louis, may I ask you a question?”
