Elena Bush got straight into the car and wondered as she fastened her seatbelt, “What’s the matter, calling me out in such a hurry?”
“Going to meet an acquaintance.”
“Hmm?”
At that, the little woman immediately squared her face and looked at him, “Did he contact you?”
“No.”
“Then how ……”
The latter seemed extraordinarily subdued at her suspicion, saying softly, “Won’t you know when you’ve met the person?”
Elena Bush nodded half-heartedly, “Then I’ll trust you for once!”
Logan Brown raised an eyebrow, “Then I’m even more afraid to let your ladyship down.”
“You try?” The little woman threatened, showing her teeth in a way that made it impossible for him to say ‘no’.
The car drove on until it stopped in front of a café, Elena Bush’s spirits lifted momentarily, but she still clung to the man’s arm with some nervousness.
Logan Brown’s heart warmed as he looked at the person holding his arm, and his warm hand followed, “Don’t worry, I won’t let you down.”
“Mmm.” She nodded, trusting with her whole heart.
After all ……
The man in front of her had never let her down before.
The two smiled at each other, and, doubled up, entered the restaurant.
When they walked to the table they had reserved, a familiar figure was already sitting there, all cozy, half leaning on the card table like a young talent on holiday, all dressed in a suit.
“Kent!”
She called out softly, her eyes slightly red.
The man who heard the voice suddenly turned around, his originally smiling expression suddenly panicked when he saw the little woman’s red eyes, “No, no, Elena Bush, don’t cry, it’s not easy for us to see each other, you’re just crying …… ”
“Don’t be mean to me!”
Elena Bush had been spoiled by Logan Brown over the years to the point where she had a temper and glared at him sulkily.
Kent’s motion to rise and soothe then froze in mid-air, unsure how to retract it.
Elena Bush bit her lip, hesitated for a moment, and then the next instant jumped up and fell head over heels into the man’s embrace.
“Kent, you’ve been gone for so many years, where the hell have you been, do you know how worried we all are about you?”
Three years ago, after she escaped from Jacqueline’s hands, the man in front of her also seemed to have evaporated, disappeared completely, no matter what means and methods she had used, she could not get a single bit of news from him ……
Kent also panicked and looked to Logan Brown for help.
Just as he looked up, he saw that the man had taken a seat across from him with a straight face, even going so far as to order two coffees from the waiter, one for him and one for Elena Bush.
“……”
The corner of Kent’s mouth twitched violently, depressed.
Bet this guy wasn’t going to coax at all, was going to let him watch his own back!
“I ……” Kent opened his mouth and realised that he didn’t know what to say, so he just hugged the little woman tighter wordlessly and kept patting her back soothingly, “Well, I’m here to see you now, aren’t I? Why are you crying?”
“How dare you!?” Elena Bush lifted her face in his arms and glared at him.
Kent’s heart thumped and he pulled out a handkerchief and wiped her face, “Look at you, you’re the mother of a child and you’re still acting like a child.”
Elena Bush took it and wiped her face as she grumbled, “It’s all your fault, how dare you!”
“Yes, yes, yes. ……”
Kent knew he was in the wrong, and dared not upset the little grandma at this point in time.
Elena Bush squeezed her handkerchief tightly, and when she looked up again, those eyes that had been red from crying were like little bunnies.
“Still crying?” He asked.
“Who, who’s crying!” Elena Bush nuzzled and rubbed back against Logan Brown’s side.
Only after she had eased up did she notice that there was another person beside Kent, making her more and more groundless, and even more chagrined at the thought of her reckless actions.
Logan Brown smiled and handed her coffee, “Wet your throat.”
“!!!”
Elena Bush glanced at him, not saying what she should have said, but saying what she shouldn’t have.
Kent let out a sigh of relief and quickly gathered his emotions and said, “Elena, let me introduce you to Blanche Rodriguez.”
“Blanche Rodriguez?”
Elena Bush’s measuring gaze fell on the pair and after a quick glance then immediately guessed what was going on, “Kent, this isn’t …… sister-in-law, is it?”
“No, don’t think too much about it.” Blanche Rodriguez interrupted her guess, “He and I are just working together, I’m just an assistant too.”
An assistant?
That was true, but Elena Bush didn’t think it was that simple.
So she threw Kent a helpless look… Kent hadn’t made it yet ……
Kent looked at her and was almost angry, when did she get so smart.
Blanche Rodriguez watched the exchange of glances between the two of them, feeling inexplicably out of sorts, and couldn’t help but reach up to her lips and clear her throat, “Sir Lewis, you’re here to talk business today!”
“What business, you talk to Logan Brown.” Kent waved his hand in a lazy manner.
Blanche Rodriguez knotted in anger and clenched her hands and gritted her teeth, “Mister Lewis, you’re the one who actually makes the ideas.”
“Aren’t you and I the same?” Kent said with a look of indifference.
Blanche Rodriguez’s eyes twitched violently at the corners, suppressing her anger and saying patiently, “If you say so, then I’ll talk as I see fit.”
“Suit yourself.” Kent raised his peach blossom eyes and smiled seductively, “No matter how outrageous you are, you won’t sell me, will you?”
“……”
Blanche Rodriguez averted her eyes and slowly took out the partnership proposal and placed it in front of Logan Brown.
Elena Bush and Kent silently stepped aside, apparently leaving all of these matters in the hands of the duo.
Kent gave her a quiet wink and Elena Bush nodded wordlessly, so they quietly exited the café.
Logan Brown’s eyes fell on the small woman’s sneaky back and he shook his head helplessly.
Blanche Rodriguez spoke up, “Sir Brown is thinking that what I just said won’t work?”
“No.” The man smiled kindly, “Miss Rodriguez please continue.”
Blanche Rodriguez, not noticing as much, nodded in response, her eyes falling on the spot where her hand had fallen, and spoke again.
And by now, Elena Bush and Kent had long since disappeared without a trace.
Elena Bush took a long breath and dragged him straight into the nearby mall to find a spot to sit down in peace.
