The feeling of falling from heaven suddenly was like this.
Nora turned around and tried her best to make her voice sound calm and not trembling. She asked stiffly. “What’s the matter?”
Kingsley did not explain, “I’ll send you back first!”
Nora just looked at him in silence.
Kingsley felt a little guilt and reached out to touch her long hair, “There is something wrong in the company. I’m going to deal with it.”
Nora looked away. She wore a smile after turning back, “Alright. Go!”
Kingsley said softly, “I’ll have a meal with you next time.”
Nora couldn’t wear a smile on her face any more. She looked at the traffic outside the window and said, “You’re going to the company. Then, let me off at the front!”
“I’ll send you back.”
“No, I’m going shopping in the mall. Just stop at the front.”
When the car stopped, Nora untied the safety belt and got off. Before leaving, Kingsley stopped her and asked, “Is there any balance on the card I gave you last time?”
“Yes.”
“I’m sorry!”
“It’s OK. The company’s business should come first.”
She closed the door and suddenly wanted to cry.
Walking to the entrance of the mall, she received a call from Caesar.
“Nora, listen to me, leave him!”
Nora gritted her teeth. She couldn’t suppress a laugh, “I have spent a lot of his money these years. It’s not appropriate to leave him like this. He will kill me.”
“How much have you spent?” Caesar asked earnestly. It seemed that he had believed Nora’s words.
“I don’t know, but at least two or three million!”
Caesar was silent for a moment and suddenly said, “I can give you the money, but you must leave him! I don’t want a woman between him and Rosaline. You are my daughter, and I also do it for you.”
Nora smiled lightly, “Mr. Caesar, you are really generous. However, Kingsley is very kind to me. I don’t want to leave him so easily!”
“Nora!” Caesar was furious, “Is it a glory to be a mistress?”
“You should ask Mrs. Veronica!”
Caesar was stumped by her words and remained tongue-tied. Finally, he said, “I’ll give you three million. You must return the money to him and then leave!”
“Give me three million?” Nora laughed, “You even refused to lend me ten thousand. Now you are so generous?”
That satirical words made Caesar feel unwell, but he suppressed it. For Rosaline’s future happiness, he had no choice but to let Nora leave Kingsley.
“Nora, as long as you leave him, I won’t treat you shabbily. You can come to the headquarters of the Doublestar Group, and I will buy you the house.”
“Mr. Caesar, to tell you the truth, if you had lent me money, I would not have been with him. Do you understand?”
After she said this, Nora suddenly hung up.
If Caesar lent her money straightforwardly, her mother would not become a vegetable because of the delay in treatment, and she would not be too desperate to pester Kingsley.
However, everything had no if. After visiting the shopping mall for a while, Nora found that she could not afford most of the new season’s clothes. She had a card from Kingsley, but she had not spent any money on the card except the last time she bought a gift.
When she was in the shopping mall, she was taunted by the shopping guide. Nora was indifferent and did not argue with her. When she came out and sat down at the square fountain, she suddenly felt flustered and wanted to cry again.
Then she took out her mobile phone to put Caesar’s phone number into the blacklist. She didn’t want to receive any more calls from Caesar. The man said that he did it for her, but actually, his every step was for his another daughter.
Fortunately, she did not regard him as her own father. She was not particularly sad but still a little aggrieved.
Just as she looked down, a clear and pleasant man’s voice rang from her head, “Excuse me, miss, can you tell me how to get to the Cloud Hotel?”
Nora snuffled and looked up and said, “I’m not a miss!”
The man was stunned and said regretfully, “I’m sorry, I don’t mean that. Sorry to disturb you. I’m from abroad and not familiar with this side.”
After rubbing her eyes, Nora could see the man’s appearance. His skin was fair and his facial features were graceful. He looked very gentle. Nora pointed to his mobile phone, “Don’t you have a mobile phone?”
“The map navigation shows that it’s around here, but I can’t find it.”
Listening to his accent, he did not seem to be from City A, but rather a bit like a northerner. Nora stood up and said, “Are you from other places?”
“Yes. I’m here on business!”
“Are you from City S?”
The man was stunned and then smiled, “How do you know?”
“I guess it from your accent.”
Her mother was also from City S, but she has been out of touch with that place for a long time. To be with Caesar, a poor boy, she left and broke off with her original family. She accompanied Caesar to City A alone to strive, but in the end…
Nora organized her thoughts and said, “I’ll take you there. There are too many shopping malls here. It’s not easy to find it.”
Derrick looked at the girl in front of him. She seemed to have just cried, but it was not appropriate for him to ask why.
When he arrived at the Cloud Hotel, Derrick stopped and said, “Thank you.” After that, he handed a business card and said, “I’m not very familiar with it for the first time. Thanks to you, or I might stay here all afternoon.”
Out of politeness, Nora took the business card and said, “You’re welcome.”
She looked at the business card and found that he was in the same trade as her. She looked up at him in surprise, “Are you also a designer?”
“Yes. You too?”
Nora was a little shy. “I’m just getting started.”
“Well, I’ve been in the business for almost two or three years.” Derrick was gentle and polite in speaking. He looked like a man from a well-educated family.
Nora suddenly felt a bit happier and said, “So, you are still the elder!”
“You flatter me.” Derrick thought for a while and said, “Let me add your Wechat. Maybe we will meet again.”
This way of accosting girls was a bit old-fashioned.
Nora smiled, “I don’t use Wechat.”
With that, she waved to Derrick, “Goodbye.”
She was now married. Although she and Kingsley appeared united outwardly but divided at heart, she could not accept the invitation of a strange man casually.
Moreover, in this marriage, Kingsley was strong enough to occupy a dominant position. She had no way to fight against him, so she should be obedient.
“Wait!” Derrick seemed to refuse to give up and say, “Well, may I know your name?”
