Stephen felt that he must be bewitched, since the last time he met with Skyler, he actually passed by the place where they first met and quarreled on time every day, one day because of the traffic jam, the road in front of him was blocked to death, he actually wanted to rush out of the car to get a shovel to remove all the roadblocks blocking the road.
Now that the road is empty and there is no traffic jam, his heart feels inexplicably empty of a piece, and would like to find something to fill the vacancy intact. He felt annoyed, hit the steering wheel and wanted to get out of here quickly.
His eyes inadvertently glanced in the rearview mirror a red Bentley drove by, his throat tightened, without any thinking, like an instinctive, he stepped on the gas, the car in this road rushed out, the red Bentley also drove very fast, his eyes on the rear of the car, afraid that he was not careful to let it run away from his vision.
The sound of the horn in his ears is getting louder and louder, and he is as if he can’t hear it, rushing all the way, not caring about the people around him looking at him to spit out the fire gaze.
I do not know how long to drive, the Bentley finally stopped, Stephen chased out of focus, almost rear-ended him, he stepped on the gas pedal, with inertia, he could not help but lean forward, when he sat upright, he realized that his head was full of sweat, palms are also full of sweat, he mechanically opened the door, sluggish steps… …
The distance between the two cars was less than five meters, but he felt as if he had walked a hundred and a thousand steps. He was walking to the back seat of the car when the bright red door was suddenly pushed open by a hand with a jade bracelet, and the black high-heeled shoes landed on the ground. A woman wearing a diamond necklace stepped down from the car.
She pointed at Stephen and cursed: “Why are you following me all the way, do you want me to call the police? Why do you look like a man and do such a boring thing as stalking!
Looking at the fiery red nails only in less than ten centimeters away from their own, Stephen heart actually diffused a sour, mistaken? Why do you have so much expectation? The expectation is stronger than the previous want to get anything, so this sourness, called disappointment?
Stephen only cold eyes at her, a word did not answer to get into their own car, the woman is still unrelenting to him, almost and porcelain like pulling his clothes, her two hands supported on the front hood of Stephen’s car, the mouth continued to say something, Stephen just do not care, skilled reverse, almost dropped the man’s fake jaw.
Recognize the wrong person such a thing, in his twenty-two years of life, is never the case. What’s wrong these days, Stephen pinched his nose, probably because he did not sleep well, all night long, thinking about … no, he did not think about her, hate her more than enough, how can miss her.
When waiting for the red light, he heard the sound of his phone vibrating, so he picked it up and took a look, originally just a mindless glance, did not expect to see is his own computer on the experimental system sent a message.
The system has been breached.
His brow only frowned for this moment, and then he gave a light laugh: “Not bad, Brayden, you’re quite a bit faster than I thought, and it seems that you’re not too stupid.”
He turned the wheel and headed for Jayden’s office.
“Your system gave them a breach?” Jayden’s back was to him, and he had always been one to recognize people by the sound of their footsteps, so he threw the words out pretty straight away as soon as Stephen walked in.
Stephen brutally stretched a lazy back: “Of course not, you also underestimate me too much, just know my IP address, and also the IP address of my father’s company side, it does not mean they find me this person … I can never stay at my father’s company for more than five minutes.”
Jayden smiled, obviously relieved, “Speaking of which, why did you get into this situation with your family?”
Stephen deliberately pretended not to understand: “Now this way? What do you think, I’ve gotten into with the family?”
“What’s the point of interrupting, to me, do you need to hide anything?” Jayden always stares at the other person’s eyes in a serious manner whenever he asks any serious question, always making it impossible for the person who looks at him to escape and leaving others at a loss.
Stephen’s body moved back: “Why are you looking at me with that kind of eyes? Have I ever hidden anything from you?”
“In all the time we’ve known each other, you haven’t kept anything from me, but you haven’t talked to me about anything about your family, either.” Jayden’s eyes shone with a wise light.
Stephen still didn’t answer the question positively, but instead asked him rhetorically, “You didn’t tell me about your family either …”
It was Jayden who answered openly and naturally, “If I still had a home, I would have told you about it.” A hint of imperceptible sadness crossed his face.
“Hey hey … how to suddenly talk about this up, you must not cry in front of me ah, I never comfort people.” After seeing Jayden throw him a blank stare, Stephen sighed: “A long time ago, I was rejected by a woman whose name I don’t know, and after my father thus reduced me to nothing, I never went back.”
“Rejected …” Jayden’s index finger curved slightly in front of his lips, “What kind of person would dare to reject your family’s engagement and reject you like that?”
Stephen raised his eyes: “Of course she rejected me because she didn’t like the bad me at that time, do you think I was as good as I am now?”
Jayden laughed out loud, “That man is really unlucky, if you know now you are like this, must regret the intestines are blue.”
Stephen shook his head: “No, I’m not good is one reason, and so is the fact that she has another person who wants to be with him.” Stephen paused: “Jayden, do you think it’s better for a woman to marry someone she likes, or someone who is good?”
“You shouldn’t have asked me that question …,” Jayden said, “You know full well that I wouldn’t have gone toward the right answer.”
Stephen grunted disdainfully, “And yes, we’re all lovey-dovey …”
For a moment, there was silence between the two.
It took Jayden half a second to respond and ask him back, “We? You …?”
“I saw her again.”
