Chapter42 Do you know how the cat died?

Book:Never Come Back To Him Published:2024-12-11

When passing Waigang Road, thousands of drones were hanging in the air, switching between various shapes in an orderly manner.
This was a drone show that lasted only a dozen minutes, but the price quote started at millions.
There were many people watching at the venue, and the place where Clyde and his friends passed by happened to be a good viewing spot, so he pulled over and watched with interest through the front windshield as the four-dimensional model changed into various shapes.
Myrna looked up following his gaze and was instantly struck by the gorgeous drone.
Clyde : “How many do you think there are here?”
Myrna : ?? Can you guess???
“certainly.”
“have no idea.”
“I guess…” The man paused for a moment, “99.”
“Why?”
” Don’t people like proposals to last a long time?”
The next second, Myrna saw a group of drones forming the words “Marry me” in the night sky.
“How do you know this is a proposal?”
Clyde motioned for her to look at the observation deck ahead. The man in a suit had already taken the roses and hidden them behind him.
“Great.” Myrna praised.
In the past, she thought Clyde was just an uneducated heir , but today she found that he was very different from her impression.
Professional, meticulous and observant.
Just now when the two of them were chatting at the dinner table, he mentioned her major and mentioned the current stock fluctuations of Ambrosia Technology. He only mentioned it briefly, but she realized that he was incredibly good at financial operations.
But on second thought, Ansel ‘s friends tolerate Ansel , and none of them are useless when it comes to making money.
The world of these gifted children was far more complicated than she had imagined.
Therefore, quitting as soon as possible and leaving with dignity is her best option.
“My home is just ahead. Thank you for taking me back.”
Clyde ‘s car could only drive to the alley entrance, so Myrna got out directly.
He knew that his relationship with Myrna was not close enough to send someone upstairs, so he did not stay long. After watching the person leave, he drove away.
Not long after we walked, Gavin called.
“Where did you go? Why can’t I find you when I turn around?”
Just now, when he was about to go back after paying the bill, he ran into his ex-girlfriend who he had broken up with for almost a year.
People who had lost contact with him for a long time, when they saw him, pounced on him like sticky candy, asking him to have dinner with them and flirting with him.
It took him a while to shake the man off.
“Oh, seeing that you haven’t come back for so long, Myrna had something urgent to do and had to leave in a hurry, so I sent her back first.” Clyde said casually.
Gavin : “What about Ansel ? Didn’t we agree to bring him here and pretend it was an accidental encounter? Why did you come alone?”
He had wanted to ask this for a long time, but had been holding it in until now.
Clyde said calmly, “I didn’t find him. He’s probably with his girlfriend.”
Ansel had been meeting his girlfriend about the same amount of times, and Gavin had no doubts.
“What a pity, such a good opportunity was wasted, alas…”
After ending the call, Clyde drove to the side of the road, found an unfamiliar card number, and transferred some money.
After receiving the money, he called and said, “As expected of Mr. Effie , so straightforward. I hope we can work together again next time.”
If Gavin was there, he would definitely be shocked.
Because the person on the other end of the phone was his sticky ex-girlfriend!
Clyde : ?? Sure.??
“But I’m still curious, why did you do this? Let me pester Gavin ? Help you delay for ten minutes? Is it necessary?”
What can you do in ten minutes?
Clyde deadpanned, “Do you know how the cat died?”
“???? Feel sorry.”
“Take the money and keep your mouth shut.”
??
After returning home, Myrna took a shower and planned to read two papers before going to bed.
As soon as I sat down, I received a message from Clyde .
[You left your gloves on my car]
Next is a photo of a pair of gloves.
It happened to be the same pair she was wearing today.
Myrna then remembered that when she first got in the car, the heater was too strong, so she took off her gloves . Clyde took them and put them aside.
She didn’t think about it at all when she left.
[I’ll give you the gloves sometime? ]
Myrna thought about it and replied:
[Could you please give me the address so I can ask someone to pick it up?]
Clyde : [The neighborhood where I live doesn?? t allow delivery people to enter]
[How about this, let’s find a time to have a cup of coffee together, and I’ll return the gloves to you. I’m currently studying for an MBA at University B , and it just so happens that you graduated from University B with an undergraduate degree. If it’s not too much trouble, you can take me around and get familiar with the campus.]
If the other party simply returned her gloves or invited her to dinner, Myrna would not agree.
She felt that her relationship with Clyde had not yet reached that stage.
But the other party asked her for something. Forgetting the gloves was her own fault. Now she had to trouble him to take time out of his schedule to deliver them. That was even more embarrassing. Since Clyde needed help and it happened to be within her ability, then…
?? All right??
Clyde : [I am free next Friday at 11am. Is this time available to you?]
Myrna had no objection and gave an OK gesture in return.
??
On the appointed day, Clyde parked his car in the parking lot and walked to the coffee shop.
The store is located on a small road not far from B University . The owner is a very romantic person and the decoration is in line with the aesthetic taste of young people today, so even on Fridays, there are still many students coming.
I found a seat by the window.
Myrna arrived a few minutes later than him. As soon as she sat down, the waiter came up to bring the menu.
The retro record player plays soothing and sentimental English songs, and the gentle female voice reveals a bit of petty-bourgeois sentiment.
Clyde ordered an iced Americano and Myrna ordered a latte.
“Your gloves.”
The gloves are packed in brown paper bags.
Myrna held out her hand and took it. “Thank you.”
Clyde looked around. The air was filled with the aroma of coffee beans. The ambient temperature was neither cold nor dry, which was very comfortable. “Do you come here often?”
Myrna : ?? Occasionally.??
Directly opposite the floor-to-ceiling window is a river. It has frozen over in the cold winter. Bare willow branches hang by the river, covered with a layer of furry white by last night’s snow.
When you are in a bad mood, sit on a bench by the river for a while and you will feel much better.
Clyde looked at her expression and curled his lips slightly: “The location is good, and the music is even better.”
Myrna stirred her coffee and listened to him say, “Miles’ jazz music began in the 1990s, but now few people know this most classic piece of music.”
Myrna was curious: “You seem to know everything?”
“Jack of all trades, but master of none.” He shrugged half-jokingly.
Myrna remembered that Gavin had mentioned inadvertently that Clyde ‘s mother was a famous musician.
However, Myrna stopped there and did not ask any further questions.
After finishing a cup of coffee, Clyde stood up and said, “Let’s go.”
