“Well, please help me analyze one thing. I’ve been thinking about it all day and I can’t understand it. I always think there’s something wrong with it.” Emma said to Cindy.
“What is it? It’s so weird.” Cindy asked curiously.
“When I went to work this morning, Mr. Liu, whose father is a vice mayor, as I have told you, suddenly appeared with a bunch of flowers. This guy comes to my office every two days. Usually he just says something very explicit, I can get rid of it, but today he’s holding on to me like crazy.”
“I was so scared, but I didn’t dare to call the security guard. He is the son of the vice mayor, so I dare not offend him. What we fear most in doing business is to offend the sons of these high officials. Then Carl came out, and he…” Emma told the whole story to Cindy.
“I just can’t figure it out. It was useless for my father to ask for help. And I and Lawyer Wang were not allowed to see him, but he came out easily, also he said the police station only criticized and educated him. Do you think it is reasonable?
“The most puzzling thing is that it was peaceful and no one ever came to him again. I called my dad later and asked about it, my dad was surprised because he had no friends to help him. If someone did help, he would have told my dad. So I don’t know what’s going on.” Emma said.
Cindy was surprised to hear this, but relieved to hear the result. She said directly, “It is obviously that he got his way out. But I had no idea how he made it.”
“Impossible! How can he make it? He is just a bodyguard. I heard he was a security guard in a warehouse before he came to work for me. What could he do? My dad couldn’t find a way out, let alone him.” Emma said firmly.
“Miss Li, you are being shallow. Don’t judge a person. Do you rich people always look down upon poor people? He was a security guard, so what? Do you despise security guard?” Cindy was unhappy.
“No, I didn’t mean that. I don’t despise him. I was only speaking of a fact.” Emma hurriedly said.
“It is easy. Since you and your dad didn’t help him, he must have found his own way. It’s a logic any child can deduce. Now I do wonder how he managed to get himself out.” Cindy said and looked at Carl.
The two women were eating slowly while chatting about these trifles. Carl smoked half a pack of cigarettes before they finished eating.
Emma went to the front desk to check out and gave the money for the three people.
“Miss, the gentleman with you has paid for his own, and yours has not been paid.” The clerk at the front desk said that she probably hadn’t seen such men before.
Hearing that Carl paid his own money, Emma widened her eyes, shook her head speechlessly, “Check it out. This is the man you are interested in. Shame on you.”
Emma went out after paying the money. Carl, waiting at the door, drove out of the car when he saw Emma and Cindy coming out.
“Carl, did you pay for your own? I said, I can take care of your living expenses.” Emma said unhappily.
“It’s not in the contract, and besides, I’m not used to having women pay for my meals.” Carl lightly said.
“Yes, but do you think I can get used to it? Even though you’re my bodyguard and we’re just a working relationship, but others don’t know about it. How will they think of me? Don’t you think that makes me ashamed? Either you do not pay for it, either you pay it all. A man and two women were having dinner together, and when they finished, the man paid for his own meal. I feel very embarrassed.”
Emma said angrily. She was a woman of this kind of temper, had to say out her thought, even Cindy cannot stop her by pulling her.
“Ok, Got it.” Carl said lightly.
The light answer of Carl made Emma more speechless. She didn’t know what to say about this man. It is her first time to meet such a stingy man.
All the way without words, Carl directly drove the car to the villa.
When Emma took out the key to open the door, Carl suddenly stopped Emma, and said, “Wait a minute.”
Then Carl went to the door, squatted down, and carefully looked at the door below. At this time, the two women saw a small piece of transparent tape stuck on an inconspicuous place of the door at the bottom, one side stuck on the door, the other side stuck on the door frame. It is impossible to find out if a person didn’t pay attention to it.
Carl watched carefully before pulling off the transparent tape and throwing it aside.
“What are you doing? Why are you acting so weird?” Emma said angrily, and then took the key to open the door.
“Have a look at it every time you opened the door. Every day when I go out, I will put a piece of transparent tape on the door at about the same position. If the door has been opened, this piece of transparent tape will be loosened. If the tape is still stuck on the door, it means that no one has come in during your absence. When you see the tape is loose, do not come it, there may be someone in it.” Carl lightly said, and then went into the room.
Hearing Carl’s explanation, the two women suddenly understand, especially Emma, she now understood Carl was not doing something strange, but doing the most basic security measures.
“You are the strangest one. It was a good trick, and I’ll do so every time I go out.” Seeing Emma being embarrassed, Cindy burst into laughter and went into the room too, leaving Emma stayed at the door.
