Without giving her a chance to retort, I continued to speak, “Don’t always put your beauty on your lips, there are too many beautiful and talented in this world, you are not that unique, cultivate well, how can you make yourself liked by others? Being overbearing and flattering are both annoying, but you have them both, so Miss Torres, get a chance to work on yourself!”
I got up to leave, but Sheila got in the way, almost unprepared, and she spilled all the coffee she was holding on me.
No, it was a splash, a splash that didn’t leave the slightest doubt.
I was in a trance for a moment, but it was only a moment before I came back to my senses.
“Clara, you don’t think you’re so smart, this time, you’re just relying on your seven or eight percent resemblance to others to flaunt me around Dennis? Let me tell you, sooner or later, you will be worse than me, because, the person Dennis cares about, has already come to him, and sooner or later, you will have to get the hell out of here!”
How can I put it?
Watching her tearing her heart out like this, I actually shouldn’t do anything.
After all, the one who is in inner turmoil at this time, is her, but I am still not willing to just let her bully me.
I picked up the coffee on the table, directly above her head, gaze at her, indifferently poured down, light smile, “Miss Torres, in the future to splash coffee such behavior do not do it again, too fallen, really!”
The thick liquid slid down her long hair and stained her dress skirt.
The girl who likes to wear white clothes, suddenly stained by coffee, really does not look good.
She was so angry that her arms and legs were shaking and she glared at me angrily, “Clara you want to die …..”
She raised her hand ready to push me when she got a violent push to sit directly back in her seat.
The commotion was not small and drew a lot of people, Hank’s appearance, which surprised me a little.
He is dark at heart, looking at Sheila who sat back on the seat he coldly spoke, “Look like this and still think you look like a fairy, Miss, next time go out and look in the mirror more.”
After saying that, he did not care about Sheila’s angry red even.
He took off his jacket and put it on me to cover the coffee that Sheila spilled.
Looked at me and said, “Let’s go!”
With him out of the cafe, parking lot, I took the initiative to open the mouth, “Thank you!” Then handed him the jacket he was wearing.
I frowned, did not reach for it, just a slight frown, “No need to rush to give it back to me, you need him more than I do!”
I shrugged my shoulders and shoved the jacket into his hand anyway, “It’s not that bad, I’ll be home soon.”
Seeing this, he didn’t force it, he just looked at me, the loss and helplessness in his dark eyes was obvious.
When I got back to the villa, Jannings was still awake, and I sat in the living room, a little lost in thought.
What was Olivia doing in City A all of a sudden? Did she come here specifically to find Dennis?
From what I know about her, she probably wouldn’t do that. After all, she’s a proud person, and Dennis had explicitly rejected her, so she wouldn’t follow her here because of Dennis.
Then what did she come here for?
It’s easy to get a headache from thinking too much. After sitting on the couch for a while, the phone rang.
I thought Jannings was awake and picked up the phone and it was Dennis’ voice, “Have you eaten yet?”
I froze for a moment and said, “Not very hungry!”
“The implication is that you haven’t eaten, is that right?” The tone of voice was a bit like reprimanding a child.
Before I could find the words to answer him, he continued, “Toby will bring you food later, eat well or come back to clean you up.”
I pursed my lips and muttered, “It’s not like I didn’t eat, why are you so mean?”
The doorbell rang outside and the caller said, “Toby is coming over, go open the door and remember to eat properly.”
“Oh!” I opened my mouth, I couldn’t help but skim, got up and went to open the door, and saw that it was indeed Toby outside the door.
He was carrying a lot of things in his hand, fruit, vegetables and a few lunch boxes, looking a little heavy.
I said into the phone, “Dennis, I’m not talking to you, I’m hanging up!”
After hanging up the phone, I reached out to pick up the things in Toby’s hand, he gave me the lunch box and said, “These are the things that Mr. saw when he was eating at the restaurant and thought you would like them, so he ordered a few for me to bring over to you to try.”
Saying that, he carried the things in his hand towards the hall kitchen, and then put all the fruits he carried in his hand in the cabinet.
I carried the box, opened it and looked at it, are some fine workmanship of seafood, the price is not expensive.
Looking at some of them, I couldn’t help but say, “It looks so good, but it seems a little too much.”
Toby laughed and said, “Dennis said you don’t smell good eating alone, so you can call Miss Baker to come over and eat with you.”
Yes, I was going to call Jannings, but thinking that she should still be awake, I couldn’t help but give up, it’s not good to wake her up, so I might as well wait for her to wake up.
Seeing Toby put all the fruits and vegetables in the fridge, I couldn’t help but say, “Why did you buy so many vegetables? You don’t even eat at home at night.”
Toby said, “Dennis said that we need to put more things in the kitchen, otherwise it’s not convenient when we need to use them occasionally.”
I nodded slightly and unconsciously spoke, “Are you guys going to the restaurant today to talk about work?”
He shook his head while handling the vegetables, “No, Mr. Thomson and Sister Lu came over and went over there to eat together!”
I faintly stared and spoke directly, “Is Olivia coming too?”
He nodded, pursed his lips slightly and said, “The case in Lanxi Village is stalled, and there are many things waiting for Dennis to handle at headquarters, Mr. Thomson has no choice, so he personally brought the documents over.”
I hmmed, but did not continue to ask.
Seeing that I did not say anything, Toby looked at me and said after a while, “Mrs. George you do not think much, Olivia is with Mr. Thomson over, her state has not been very good in the past two years, Mr. Thomson is to her close care, this time to City A, is not worried about her, so they brought her Dennis didn’t know about it.”
He hurriedly opened his mouth to explain, but looked a little rushed, I could not help but smile, “You do not need to explain, they are friends, together with dinner is normal, I am not that petty!”
The phone rang, it was Jannings calling, she seemed to have just woken up, her voice was a little hoarse, “What are you doing?”
“Nothing, staying at home!” I opened my mouth and couldn’t help but ask, “Did you wake up from your nap?”
She seemed to stretch out a long lazy back and said, “Just woke up, still in bed!”
“Pack up and come eat next door, Toby brought a lot of good food from the restaurant, come and try it!”
She laughed out loud and said, “Boy, you know me too well, I just woke up hungry, wait, I’ll be right over!”
