At first, Nora wanted to ignore it. But when she spotted Rosaline’s name on the screen, she jumped in head and reached out to answer the phone.
Rosaline’s voice sounded gentle and soft, ” Kingsley, what are you doing? Why don’t you answer my phone?”
Nora gave a wintry smile but her tone was quite flowery, “Kingsley is taking a bath, what’s up?”
Rosaline’s face clouded immediately. “Who are you?”
Nora smiled: “Who do you think I am?”
Rosaline frowned hardly and bit a lip, hanging up the phone very quickly finally. It was for a long time that she never had heard of Kingsley having a woman with him, except that starlet called Vivienne who had been linked to him. But Rosaline, of course, didn’t pay much attention to her at all. After all, Vivienne was only an actress…
When did Kingsley hide a secret mistress?
So raging was she that she raised her hand and threw the cup off the table.
As Veronica happened to witness, she ran over immediately, “Oh, baby, what’s wrong with you?”
“Mommy, Kingsley has a woman aside.”
Veronica was quite open, “Isn’t it normal?”
Rosaline picked her eyebrow, “How is it normal?”
“At his age, there will always be women aside, but you have to remember that who he is with in the end usually is not the woman who he is with now”
Rosaline didn’t understand fully.
Veronica smiled gently, “Rosaline, you are still young, but you may rest assured that you and he are friends since childhood. And your father has helped him so much, and mom will let you marry him sooner or later.”
Nora hung up the phone, sitting on the sofa and drinking water leisurely. Just Rosaline’s deflated appearance was enough for her happy for a while.
Click——
The bathroom door was opened, Kingsley went out wearing a towel just around the lower half of the body The abdominal muscle is clear and obvious, the arm line is smooth, the skin is healthy wheat color with flashing luster How attractive he was.
The heartbeat that Nora calmed down with great efforts thumped up again. She looked away sheepishly.
Kingsley dried his hair casually with a towel and said, “If you feel like saying something, say it.”
Nora got up from the sofa and rubbed her hands,” Uh, our company’s tender was passed for no reason, so could you please explain a little bit?”
Kingsley threw the towel aside and he picked up his phone, taking a glancing at his phone casually.
Nora was about to say something when Kingsley turned back, frowning to ask, “You have taken my phone?”
“Well, just now Rosaline rang up and I said you were taking a shower.” Then she lowered
her head.
Without saying any words, Kingsley threw his phone into the storage and didn’t trouble with it anymore.
Nora bit her lip. “I may have offended you by what I said earlier, but this tender is very important to us.”
“Oh.” Kingsley answered calmly.
“We are eligible, and we do not violate the rules. It’s not fair to us.”
“Don’t you violate the rules by calling Louis?”
Words failed Nora. She felt so helplessly oppressed by this man that she couldn’t refute the slightest.
Being silent for a long time, her lips were bit to white. Then she took a deep breathe, “Does what you said before still count?”
Kingsley’s eyes were cold.
Nora felt a trace of cold slipped, and she could not stop the trembling, “I can do anything.”
Then she lowered her face and dared not see Kingsley.
The air was dead for a few seconds, and the man suddenly smiled contemptuously: “Oh? want to trade your body?” He stepped forward and pinched Nora’s chin: “What do you take me for?”
They were a legitimate couple, but why it still felt like the relationship between the sugar daddy and the mistress.
Nora trembled violently all over. She just bit her lip and said solemnly, “That tender is very important to our company!”
She found a suitable job with great efforts, which boss and colleagues were all friendly. She did not want to lose that job because the friction with Kingsley!
Kingsley released her chin and sat down on the sofa.
The reflection of chandelier reflecting cold light, His black hair was not dry yet, with small drops of water on it The features were quite delicate, only the expression was cold and sharp, which would make a person in awe.
“Come here!” Kingsley put his hands on his knees and looked calmly at Nora.
Nora moved slowly, lowering her head.
“Take it off!”
Nora was suddenly stiff, looking at Kingsley confusedly.
The man smiled, with irony and tease mixed, “Isn’t you want to trade? Come, show me what you can do.”
Her eyes flitted from his bath towel, wondering whether he had worn underpants or not. She clenched her fingers into a fist but suddenly felt timid.
Kingsley squinted his eyes and smiled: “Have you never done it?”
Nora raised her hand to wipe her eyes and shook her head: “I can’t.”
Because of her family, she had always been far away from men, let alone this kind of thing.
She didn’t want to cry at first, but somehow, she wiped her eyes and the tears unwillingly dropped down. “I don’t know how I have offended you and made you unhappy. You asked me to stay out of your business, and I just didn’t. I also didn’t gossip with the aunt. This job is so important to me that I don’t want to lose it.”
Kingsley looked at her coldly.
Did she have done something wrong?
Nothing but just because he was jealous of Ringo. He hated that she had someone in heart, not him; he hated that she didn’t really love him, only the fake smile required to please him. But how was it possible for him to talk with her unashamedly.
Kingsley had been proud and excellent since he was a child. Even the family’s glory later faded away, he had been down and out for some time. But he was still Kingsley, whose pride inside would never be changed.
Nora wiped her eyes with her hands at random, “I’m sorry.”
Looking at her, Kingsley felt a bit annoyed, as he wanted to comfort her but he was afraid to lose face at the meantime. Finally, he waved his hand, “Do you think that I will feel distressed for your crocodile tears? Get out of here if you don’t want to!”
Nora was unwilling, of course, she still wanted to keep face, so she left away. She had made up her mind that if Kingsley had vented his anger on her company, she would resign without hesitation.
How much she wanted a divorce!
It was a sudden that she came up with this idea. This man was extremely difficult to get along with. No matter what she does, he would never be happy. She could not warm up his cold heart that riddled due to his family changes.
Nora wrote the resignation letter in the evening and prepared to print it out when she went to work tomorrow.
Kingsley got up from the sofa and went downstairs to get a bottle of liquor. After sitting on the sofa, he unscrewed the bottle and poured wine into his mouth.
As he had drunk half a bottle, he called his assistant, “Go check the tender of the Destiny Company and send it to me by email.”
“Do you want it now, President?”
“Well, send it right away!”
“Okay.”
Kingsley also did not know what he was doing. From the time he met Nora again, everything seemed to be out of his control.
This woman had turned his life upside down without even knowing it.
He raised his neck and poured a bottle of wine down his throat.
There was a burning pain in his heart.
