Seeing the hostility in his gaze, Charles Taylor inclined his head and leaned close to Emma Rosy: “Emma and I are about to get engaged, and what exactly does Mr. Brown mean by chasing after my fiancée and looking at us with such eyes?”
Engaged? He’s probably just talking to himself!
Alex Brown doesn’t believe Emma Rosy would have married Charles Taylor, and if she would have accepted, why would she have remained single for two years after knowing of his death?
Of course, in this situation, it is not wise to argue with Charles Taylor, he pursed his lips, intentionally showing a look of anguish, almost pleading: “Emma, for that date, I have no less expectation than you, even if the judge sentenced to death, but still give the criminal a chance to appeal, right?”
At last, she was softened, but Emma Rosy reasoned to herself that she needed to end the relationship once and for all, and that if she didn’t listen to Alex Brown’ explanation today, he would come back for more later.
Expectedly, Charles Taylor helped Emma Rosy tuck the loose hair behind her ear and left with a glass of wine.
Eva leaned against a pillar not far away to enjoy the night view, saw Charles Taylor passing by and lazily said, “I really don’t understand how Mr. Taylor, who is so talented, is willing to be a spare tire.”
Masculine dress, unisex voice, such Eva is really hard to be associated with “women”, Charles Taylor has a depressed heart, but actually frankly replied: “I love her.”
“Does she love you?”
The exchange between the three parties was clear to Eva, Emma Rosy, although standing on the side with Charles Taylor, also deliberately not to look at Alex Brown, but all attention on the latter.
Charles Taylor did not intend to conceal, simply said: “No love. She and Alex Brown love each other, but are not destined to have a result, so my behavior is more accurately … taking advantage of it.”
“How honest!”
Eva exclaimed, not knowing whether it came from the heart or not, and of course no one cared.
A moment of silence, she suddenly leaned over and patted Charles Taylor on the shoulder: “Since you love her, you should speed up and go after her, but don’t always give up like you just did.”
If she hadn’t admitted it herself, and Master Wood testified, Charles Taylor would never have believed she was a girl too.
This famous designer, though, is really interesting.
“Speaking from experience.” Squeezing his eyes jokingly, Charles Taylor lifted his steps and walked away.
“Explain.”
Her resistance was so obvious that it probably wouldn’t be accepted by her no matter what reason he gave. But Alex Brown could only go on.
“I’m sorry, there was a sudden company emergency that day, and I just couldn’t get away.”
How can you cheat people with such an uninspired excuse?
Emma Rosy wanted to laugh it off, but the grief and anger in her heart could not be quelled, so she asked almost aggressively: “Couldn’t get away, didn’t have time to make a phone call or send a text message?”
“Sorry Emma, I actually went back to that cafe the next day and the waiter said you waited a whole day if I …”
If he had known she would wait that long, if he had known she still loved him as deeply as she did two years ago, or even six years ago, he would have gone out of his way to get there.
Unfortunately, Emma Rosy didn’t give him the chance to finish the sentence.
“The reason I waited there was not to expect you to arrive, but to make myself remember that even with all the patience and sincerity, some people are not worth it.” Emma Rosy raised her eyes to his, the light of her eyes as cold as the moon: “So you don’t have to apologize, it was all wishful thinking on my part from the beginning, and now, I’ve decided to pull back.”
This must be his revenge.
“You hate me, don’t you?” As if her whole body was drained of strength, she took a few steps back and leaned against the jade railing, her voice couldn’t stop trembling.
Alex Brown was abruptly shocked, not understanding how she could think that.
Before he could explain, however, a neutral voice came from behind.
“Emma, President Taylor has been waiting for you for half a day, why don’t you go back?” Eva approached, propped her elbows on the railing and leaned over Emma Rosy. And then turned her head, slightly raised her jaw and said, “Mr. Brown, long time no see.”
The tone of her voice seems to be that she and Alex Brown have known each other for a long time, and Emma Rosy’s eyes darted between them, wondering.
Alex Brown looked no less confused than Emma Rosy, but still responded politely, “Eva, the designer, I’ve heard a lot about you.”
Eva raised her eyebrows, looking a bit funny: “Mr. Brown is very polite. What, you don’t want Emma to know that we know each other? Don’t worry, I’m not interested in you.”
After a pause, she teased, “But it’s amazing that you’ve recovered to this extent!”
She actually knew about Alex Brown’ serious illness?
Emma Rosy couldn’t resist interjecting, “You … met abroad before?”
Alex Brown did not want to talk about his past experience, for fear of deepening Emma Rosy’s misunderstanding, and for fear of revealing his real situation, so he simply made a perfunctory response: “Sorry, I suffered from amnesia during my treatment, I don’t remember meeting you, please don’t take offense.”
Eva seemed to be trying to hide something, so she didn’t talk to Alex Brown any more, said goodbye hurriedly, and then took Emma Rosy away.
Alex Brown took a glass of wine from the waiter’s tray and stood by the balcony, reminiscing, his face gradually becoming tired.
Ivy Smith arrives unexpectedly, with a piece of news that is hard to distinguish between good and bad.
“Alex, we just received a report from an informant that Olivia Bush is having an affair and is planning to run away with that man. Just last night, the man suddenly lost track of her, most likely …”
“It is likely that they have already started their elopement plan, and the person standing next to Cameron Hunter tonight is not Olivia Bush, but her double, Marisa Miller.”
Eric Chan completes Ivy Smith’s speculation and hands Alex Brown a photo of Olivia Bush taking out a large amount of cash from the bank.
When he went to see Emma Rosy, he wondered how Cameron Hunter could be with Emma Rosy, as he knew of no connection between They companies.
“Ask Cameron Hunter to meet with me right away, and remember to be natural, so that Marisa Darcydoesn’t find out what’s going on.”
“Yes.” Eric Chan answered and immediately went to work.
Unfortunately, he didn’t even meet Cameron Hunter, and was directly told by his secretary that Mr. Hunter was very busy and didn’t have time to meet with his guests.
