Skyler smiled awkwardly, Dolly was not wrong, and these she understood, she was not going to continue to ask, the more questions like this, the more ridiculous it would be in the eyes of others, she held her cup, and could only use the coffee as a way to cover up her apparent shortness.
“I just asked you guys to wait for me… I didn’t think you’d all finish your drinks?” Brayden is holding a dish with crushed trim and a sandwich fresh from the oven.
He placed the sandwich firmly in front of Skyler: “I thought I told you to come with Leon for morning tea, why? Isn’t he up yet?”
“Uh … he’s not in a good mood lately, he’s at home resting.” Skyler answered this way, in fact, because the two of them had a frosty relationship, Dolly texted an invitation when she deliberately did not tell him just, just the more so, she only felt her inner guilt heavier, as if somehow carrying a burden.
Brayden crossed his arms to support his chin: “Well, indeed, this period of time the company is really too tedious, but also let him too much effort, I see, you can let him rest, when you get free, if you want to consider coming back to help me … and now the company’s situation has been temporarily curbed The company’s situation has been temporarily curbed …”
Skyler looked surprised: “Really? The company situation has improved, that’s great, congratulations Brayden, all the efforts have not been in vain! This way, one day when this thing is really over, I’ll treat you all to a meal together, I have something to do later, so I’ll stop talking for now.”
She spoke as fast as a series of cannons, Brayden and Dolly both looked at each other, Dolly wanted to say something else, but was quickly stopped by a look from Brayden.
Skyler threw them a big smile and left with her bag. Dolly watched her back fade into a dot in the distance before she asked Brayden, “Why didn’t you let me keep her?”
Brayden pretended to look at her with disgust: “You, ah, did not say that women know women best, how come it is now so obvious that you can not see it, do I have to tell you?”
Dolly hesitated for a long time, but still said the words that came to mind: “Its … actually, I’m not unaware of it, that is, I don’t dare to think about that place.”
“Avoidance of all Leon related topics, averted eyes and poor speech …,” Brayden concluded.
“Something is really wrong.”
Brayden and Dolly said in unison, followed by an affirmative nod from both with pursed lips.
Skyler came in her precious Bentley, and on her way back the way she came, she was stuck at an intersection for a long time without being able to get past it, which no doubt made it even harder for Skyler, who was irritable inside.
Suddenly a thought flashed through her mind and she turned the wheel and drove towards a sparsely populated lane.
Surprisingly, the road is very smooth, pedestrians two or three, not crowded at all, even her horn did not sound a few times.
In the morning of City M, everyone comes and goes, everyone is busy, like ants moving before the rain, steady and orderly, with a unique touch of subdued calmness.
Crossing the last small road, she finally pulled into the lane without incident.
He will come, he will not come, he will come, he will not come, he … ah, annoying what does it matter to me if he comes or not!
Skyler growled mentally as a black dot appeared in front of her in the center of her vision, and as she got closer, that black dot got bigger and bigger, and her mind exploded after she finally saw that the black dot was actually a car.
She felt like a psycho at the moment, here still thinking about how this road will be driven up ah, and actually stopped at this fatal intersection, do you want her to back up the car step by step! But the next second immediately thought of that person.
Stephen.
Yes, it’s still the same black Volkswagen she once taunted, and he’s facing the rear window glass, sitting on his knees in the back seat waving hello to her.
She knew she would be going further and further down a path she shouldn’t have been on, but she simply had no control over her heart constantly moving toward that person.
Stephen is like a band-aid that easily covers up all her worries and preoccupations, preserving the happiest side of her. The feeling of seeing him is like all the dark clouds moving away from her sky, like a rainy day when she can suddenly see a rainbow in the distance.
These are the things she failed to feel from Leon. If Leon can give her an infinite and stable life, then Stephen can bring her the pursuit and happiness that every girl aspires to.
She slowly slammed on the brakes. Stephen, seeing her car gradually stop, opened the rear door and stepped out of it. Skyler also turned off the engine and opened the door with a trembling hand.
Skyler saw him, but said nothing, she was still in her own relaxation and pleasure, Stephen hands behind his back, leaned forward to her: “Miss, don’t just smile, shouldn’t you ask me something?”
“Huh? Am I laughing?” Skyler suddenly reacted.
“Uh huh.” Stephen nodded, “As soon as someone sees me, her eyes are smiling, her eyebrows are smiling, and her mouth, it’s grinning to the sky …”
“Speak human.” Skyler disliked back so decisively and dryly as ever.
Of course Stephen’s answer was even more crisp, he slightly hooked the corners of his mouth and smiled a warm and genial smile, “You have a nice smile.”
Skyler was satisfied with this raised an eyebrow: “This is more or less … right, why do you park here ah, blocking the intersection, others in and out of how inconvenient.”
Stephen yawned, “There’s no one else anywhere, it’s just you.”
Skyler grabbed his lifeline, she raised her voice to a higher key: “Well, so it is deliberately blocking me, do you know what is called a good dog does not block the road, a good car does not block the road ah!”
Stephen pretended to be aggrieved and patted his car: “Wronged, I am obviously not in a class of ordinary class of Volkswagen car ah.”
Skyler wisely swept his car and glanced at the watch on his wrist with a look of dawning realization, “Oh, I see, you must have gotten your comeuppance, your car broke down and had to stop here, right?”
“Blah blah blah …” Stephen pooh-poohed the ground three times in a row: “Your car is broken down, even if it really broke down do you forget who fixed your car last time?”
