Chapter 304 He Is Like A Joke
Lowell was right behind Rory as the latter left the bathroom. Seeing his angry look, Lowell didn’t dare to say anything to Rory.He knew better than to piss Rory off at a time like this. Rory stood still for a few moments before he began to walktoward the hotel entrance. His pace was so quick that it was hard for Lowell to keep up withhim. Rory went straight to the stairs. This shocked Lowell as theelevator was right there, but Rory had already gone around thecorner. Lowell couldn’t understand why Rory would want to take thestairs and knew he couldn’t leave him alone if he was thatintoxicated. Lowell took the stairs quickly to catch up. As he reached the firstfloor, he could see Rory’s figure. Rory watched Becky’s car go by slowly as he reached the hotelentrance. Becky’s car window was half open. Rory’s and Becky’s eyes metfor a moment. He looked at her with some deep emotion etchedon his face. His expression conveyed he was waiting for something Becky looked at him briefly and then averted her eyes. Her eyes closed and she leaned back into her car seat. What was Rory waiting for? Did he think she would thank him or apologize?. Becky smiled slightly. It was the first time she thought of Rory as.narcissistic. Rory watched Becky’s car drive out of sight. He hadn’t reallythought she would leave without saying anything to him.. Even though he had helped her and drunk too much for her,Becky hadn’t even displayed any concern for him. He had taken the stairs to catch up with her and hear herresponse.. It didn’t matter what she would have said, Rory would’ve beenhappy just to hear her. Instead, she hadn’t said a word and just left. Rory felt just like a joke. He should not have helped her. At first, he’d asked Lowell to refuse the invitation to the dinner, but he’d come anyway. He didn’t know why he’d accepted.. Now he felt he’d only done it to let Becky make a fool out of him. Lowell could see Rory was embarrassed. He waited a momentand then said, “Our car will come soon, Mr. Casper.” Rory looked at Lowell. “Turn down any dinner invitation thatBecky will attend in the future.” Listening to Rory’s stern words, Lowell now understood why hebehaved so irrationally tonight. He was not Aiken, so he dared not do what Aiken would do.Lowell only nodded. “Yes, Mr. Casper.” Rory had nothing else to say. He just stood there with a face like thunder. Some of the guests were alarmed when they saw the look on Rory’s face.. Thankfully, Rory’s car arrived soon after that, and Lowell quicklyopened the door so Rory could get in. Lowell was happy the driver would be in the car with them. Hewould not have to face Rory’s anger alone. Twenty minutes later they were at a red light around the cornerfrom Rory’s apartment.
Lowell suddenly remembered something he had forgotten to tellRory. He looked at Rory in the back seat in the rearview mirror.Rory seemed to be trying to take a nap. His eyes were closed, although he still looked hostile. Lowell paused and swallowed before opening his mouth to speak.”[have something to tell you, Mr. Casper.” Rory did not answer. Lowell looked in the rearview mirror and tried once more. “Miss Ramos’ secretary is investigating Betsy again.”
