Alan blushed at her compliment.
It was all agreed at once, and a lot of ingredients were bought back, and everyone divided the work, but it was done very quickly. Jannings looked at me and said, “Clara, call Dennis and ask him to come over to eat together, it’s so late, he should be busy with his work.”
After a long day of tossing and turning, it was already dark, and I thought it would be a good idea to have him come over and get to know each other, so I dialed Dennis’ number.
When the call came through, I said, “Dennis, are you done there?”
“Mrs. George, Mr. George is still in a meeting, it should take a while!” The person who answered me was not Dennis, but a girl’s voice, which sounded familiar to me, and it took me a while to realize it was Wendy.
Then spoke, “Oh oh, then later when he finished the meeting you let him return a call to me.”
Wendy answered and hung up the phone.
I couldn’t help but frown as Jannings washed the dishes, looked at me frowning and asked, “What’s wrong? Not done with work yet?”
I nodded my head hmmm, thinking in my heart indeed, usually Dennis is basically bring the phone with him at all times, how today …
“I was saying come along and get together, I just called Edward, good thing he’s available, said he’d be right over!” Jannings muttered.
I subconsciously drew a cold breath and couldn’t help but look at her and say, “Did you and Edward come back from Macao together last time?”
Jannings looked as if she didn’t know about Edward’s affair with Dennis at Macao, she nodded and bristled, “Don’t mention the Macao thing, I was going to stay at City P for a few more days when I came from Macao, but I was so mad at Edward that I just went back. ”
I looked at her and couldn’t help but say, “Did you have a fight?”
She shook her head, exasperated, “It’s even more excessive than quarreling. I originally thought he was a gentle and flamboyant man, but I didn’t expect him to be a man of different appearances.”
I froze for a moment, wondering if he had also seen the abominable side of Edward, I did not expect her to speak, “He originally agreed with me in City A, when we arrived in City P, he took me to meet the parents, you do not know how long I was nervous, I did not expect that in the end he actually fooled me, let me stay in City P for a few days, let me go back on their own! You say he is hateful!”
I frowned, so Edward in Jannings heart, still pretending to be the image of gentle and elegant.
“A little later he came over, you see I do not clean him up, which someone like this as a boyfriend, Clara, you are familiar with him, you can help me to talk about him, too unlike.” Jannings is a straight girl, a brain said a bunch of words then went to Karina very Alan’s gossip.
I looked at her and couldn’t help but sigh slightly. It seemed that Edward hadn’t mentioned Macao to her at all, but hadn’t she met Brady? Did Brady not say anything to her either?
Thinking about it, I took out my phone and messaged Brady, asking if she had mentioned MacaoEdward and Dennis to Jannings.
The message was just sent, the doorbell wanted to, Jannings although the mouth said complaining Edward, but heard the bell or very excited to run to open the door, open the door to see Edward she slightly grunted, not good, “You still have the courage to come?”
Edward glanced at the people in the living room and looked at her with a light smile, “So you’re calling so many people and preparing for a group fight?”
Jannings was amused by her and bristled, “I don’t care to bother my friends, come on in, next time you just piss me off, I’ll ignore you forever.”
I stood at the kitchen door watching as Edward followed her in, his cool gaze narrowed slightly, then with his usual warm smile he said, “What a night.”
Jannings grunted and said, “That’s for sure!” He then pulled him in to introduce him to Karina and the others.
I looked at Edward at this time, my mind was thinking about the man who was feminine with me in the cafe during the day, and I couldn’t help but feel a coldness in my heart.
“He’s not nice!” Barbara’s voice rang in my ears, and I froze, looking back to see her face a little wide-white, as if she was shocked.
I looked at her and said with concern, “What’s wrong? Is it that you’re not feeling well?”
She shook her head slightly, took a breath and said, “It’s okay.”
Jannings brought Edward over to say hello and looked at me and said, “ClaraBarbara, you guys go get some rest, let him do it and punish him sooner or later.”
Edward, with a smile on his face and a few sunny big boy looks, looked at me, had a look at Barbara and smiled, “Grandpa Anthony you made a new friend?”
Jannings nodded and pulled Barbara into a smile, “I almost forgot to introduce, Barbara, this is what I’ve been telling you about, my boyfriend Edward.”
Barbara’s face is still very pale, looking at Edward he nodded, the look looked very unnatural, like being shocked.
Jannings, a nervous person, didn’t notice Barbara’s expression and looked at Edward and said, “Edward, this is my friend, Barbara, who, like me, is also from City A.”
Edward looked at Barbara, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, elegant and gentle as always, “Hello, nice to meet you.”
Barbara, her body trembling a little, reached out her hand to shake his, and just said in a very low voice, “Hello!”
Jannings thought it was Barbara who recognized her and laughed, “My friend, she is rather shy and not good at communicating, OK, go and bring out all the dishes, we are going to get ready to eat.”
Edward smiled and went into the kitchen.
Jannings also followed in.
I reached for Barbara and was suddenly gripped tightly by her, pulling me out of the kitchen, her hands were cold, like ice, and when she got out of the kitchen, she drank a large glass of water to regain her blush.
I didn’t rush to ask her, just waited for her to ease up and then waited for her to speak.
After a while, she looked at me and said, “He’s not a good person!”
I froze, knowing that by him, she meant Edward, and couldn’t help but say, “You know him?”
She nodded, sat down on the sofa, looked up carefully in the direction of the kitchen, and lowered her voice, “I’ve seen it, a long time ago.”
I wanted to ask again, but Edward and Jannings will be dishes are brought out, Karina and Alan greeted live hot pot, we all sat at the table, greeted quickly eat, also pressed the words back to the stomach.
But during the meal I saw Edward look at Barbara’s eyes, it seems that they do not know each other, why Barbara knows him? And so afraid of him?
“Why do you keep dawdling, you’re really too easily distracted lately.” Karina gave me a piece of meat and spoke, “I see you’ve lost weight recently, eat more meat.”
I returned to my senses and nodded my head to say thank you.
