Five or six cars were already parked in front of the building, and the bodyguards were on high alert, guarding all directions.
Paige came alone, so she only had one car. She opened the door and got out, and the car in front of her immediately moved.
Carrie pushed open the car door and got out, smiling and looking at her, “Sister Paige.”
Rafael got out from behind, and with his slender figure, he and Carrie stood on either side of the car, bathed in a ray of sunlight. The grass on the ground was blowing in the wind, creating ripples, giving the scene a cinematic quality.
It was just that the large bruises on Rafael’s face destroyed much of the beauty.
“Paige,” Rafael looked at her with a gentle and kind expression.
“Hm,” Paige smiled at Carrie and walked towards them.
Carrie came up to meet her, looking a little strangely behind her, “Sister Paige, why didn’t you bring a bodyguard?”
“You told me to keep it a secret from Enrico, and I snuck out. He still thinks I’m tutoring my son with his homework,” Paige smiled faintly.
“Then you should at least bring Nick,” Carrie said with some concern, then she relaxed, ‘But it’s okay, I’ll have someone drive you back later.”
“Okay,’ Paige didn’t refuse, and turned her head to look at the endless wilderness around her, and looked at Rafael with some confusion, ‘Why did you choose such a desolate place?”
“It’s quiet,’ Rafael didn’t say much, just looked at the building not far away, “Let’s go in and sit down.”
The exterior of the building was damaged, but the inside was clean and tidy. The table had already been cleared, and even tea and snacks had been prepared.
“Sit,”
Rafael invited Paige to take a seat. The camera’s eye glanced thoughtfully at the transparent kettle on the table, and he reached out to lift it up and pour some water for Paige. A slice of lemon was flying around inside.
“Is this your personal property?” Paige asked casually.
“It belongs to a relative,” Rafael said without emotion, pushing the glass in front of Paige, ‘Drink.”
This place was not arranged by him, but directly set by the Zaibao side, and the tea was probably all problematic.
“I’m not thirsty.”
Paige’s first words confirmed one of the three questions Rafael had asked that day. She said sternly, ‘I snuck out, so I can’t stay long. Let’s make this quick.”
“Mm.” Rafael sat there with his chin in his hands, looking down at the time on his watch.
Since this place was arranged, they must be watched closely at all times. Knowing that Paige didn’t drink water, a large number of experts should be sent to hold Paige down.
Rafael waited for a while, but no one came, so he smiled and looked at Paige, saying, “Has Enrico’s temper cooled down yet?”
“He is like that, I know how difficult it is for you, and please don’t mind,” Paige said to Rafael, her tone very gentle.
Hearing her speak like this, Rafael lowered his head, a trace of guilt flashing in his eyes. When he looked up again, he had already returned to his usual self, “I don’t mind, I’m just a little worried about how to reconcile with him.”
“Enrico is stubborn and no one can stop him, so this time, I want to ask President Rafael to suffer a little,” Paige said.
“How?”
Rafael asked, a little distracted, always feeling the movement outside.
“Enrico wants you to take TP1314, I will persuade him to reduce the amount, just adjust it to five,” Paige told him her solution.
“Yes!” Carrie nodded vigorously.
One good turn deserves another. It’s only fair.
“How is that fair?” Rafael looked at Carrie without any lust. “No matter what, I was brought up in luxury, so how can my body compare to Paige’s? She can take five pills at once, but can I?”
“You know that most people can’t handle it, so why are you still feeding Paige?”
As soon as the subject of Paige came up, Carrie couldn’t help but argue back. Her normally sweet voice immediately turned cold.
Rafael paused and glanced at the time on his watch again, looking a little impatient.
Why isn’t she here yet?
“Okay, it’s all in the past, there’s no point arguing about it.”
Paige didn’t expect that she would have to mediate their argument after she came here, so she said, “I never intended for you to take five pills at once. Just mix in one real one, or even half a pill. Do you think you can handle it?”
Rafael froze for a moment, looking at her in some dismay, “You’re willing to let me off the hook so easily?”
She had added one pill to five pills at the beginning, and every time it was worse than death.
“I said, I understand your position. I have already taken revenge back then, and I will not mention it again.”
“…”
Rafael looked at her with a complex expression, and then looked at his watch.
“Are you in a hurry too?” Paige looked at him.
“Yes, I have to deal with some urgent documents later.” Rafael transitioned naturally, “Then as you said, Paige, thank you.”
“You’re welcome. This is a critical period, and we can’t afford to relax.”
Having said that, Paige remembered something else and looked at the two of them. “By the way, the currency has been unusually stable recently. Enrico thinks that the plutocrats may be about to make a big move, and they’re already having an emergency meeting. He’ll probably strike the plutocrats first to prevent them from causing trouble. You must make sure your phones are always on in the next two days. If there’s anything important, I’ll let you know immediately.”
“Okay,” Rafael nodded again.
“If there’s nothing else, I’ll go first.”
Paige seemed to be very worried that Enrico would find out that she had snuck out and had to hurry away without taking a sip of water.
“So soon?” Rafael looked at her in some amazement, and his expression got a little out of control.
Paige looked at him strangely.
Carrie was also surprised, “What’s wrong with you? Do you still have something to say to Sister Paige?”
Rafael’s body stiffened, and then he shook his head, ‘No, I’ll send someone to escort you back. Be careful on the way.”
“Okay,’ Paige nodded and left.
Rafael called a few bodyguards to accompany Paige as she left. Large patches of sunlight fell on the entrance of the building. Rafael’s brows furrowed slightly. As he turned his head, he saw Carrie looking at him.
“What’s wrong?” Rafael pretended to be calm.
“Nothing, you just seem a little strange today,” Carrie said.
“That’s not true,”
Rafael avoided her gaze and looked down at his watch, “It’s time for me to check my emails, why don’t you go back first, I’ll finish here and leave afterwards.”
“We’re not going back together?” Carrie said, so the bodyguards would have to split into three.
“It’s quiet here, just the place to get some work done,” said Rafael.
Carrie didn’t question anything further, turned and left, and as she disappeared from view in her car, Rafael quickly called the bodyguards who had followed him to go about their business, and stayed behind himself.
He sat in the living room and looked at his phone for a while, when the sound of a car came.
Rafael looked up coldly and saw Mr. Cruise, Heung and a few other plutocrats walk in with beaming smiles on their faces. “President Rafael!”
“Playing with me?” Rafael couldn’t smile. He stood up from the sofa. ‘I brought Paige here. Where are your people?”
Not a single shadow was in sight!
“President Rafael, please calm down. Sit, sit, sit.”
Mr. Wilkie walked up and warmly pulled Rafael into his seat.
Rafael understood. ‘Testing me?”
