Luke squeezed the white pill bottle in his hand, pinching the word "contraception" fiercely in his palm. His face was extremely grim.
Lina and Chen fumbled to pick up the things on the floor and put them back in bag.
“Sir, all things are packed. Let’s go now. it’s very late.” Chen asked discreetly as he sized up Luke’s face.
“No, put all back.”
The room was turned into a big icehouse by this command, as if water was frozen, a water droplet crossed from the ice, and finally frozen when it was to slide down.
Chen and Lina looked at each other, thrusting to each other for a while and finally Chen asked, “Well, sir, what…do you need us to…”
“Get out!” Luke’s voice was not very loud, but it still made the two standing people froze for several seconds like their whole body was numb. Their limbs were unable to coordinated while walking out, and Lina even walked with the same hand and foot for a while unconsciously. Luke’s expression was strikingly frightening.
They hardly went out of the apartment. Lina breathed a sigh of relief and raised eyes to upstairs window, “What’s wrong with Luke? Wasn’t it fine at first?”
“Probably because Jenny refused to come back, so he was in a bad mood.”
“Nope, Jenny refused to come back, that’s why I came here to pack up. It was all right just now, why…”
“According to me, just because you scattered Jenny’s items on the ground and Luke got unhappy.”
Chen glared at Lina, “You always like a bull in a China shop, how can you remedy it if Diana knows?”
“Or why don’t we go to invite Jenny back…” Lina looked at the apartment with a lingering fear, still felt uneasy about it.
“Don’t do it. I think Luke’s anger most likely related to Jenny, so we better not get involved."
In the apartment block, the room like an ice cellar. Luke paced into the bedroom and put the white medicine bottle on the bedside table, staring at it a lot with chilly eyes.
The night's cold air blew into the room, making him freeze to the bone.
Jenny stayed in her apartment for a week afterwards. Luke seemed to have vanished, there were neither calls nor messages. She didn’t see him even she deliberately went to the office to work for two days.
There was a lot of news in the media instead.
“Luke Lu, the CEO of Luke Up Group, kept frequenting cocktail parties with Sky Song-the artist of Brilliant Entertainment.”
“The popular singer Sky Song privately dated with the CEO of Luke Up Group Luke Lu in western restaurant. If there will be cooperation between Luke Up Group and Brilliant Entertainment?” “The wedding date is approaching, the higher the men’s status is, the more likely to seek pleasure around.”
Over the past week, there had been endless press released from various media. Jenny was uninterested in the news for her entertainer status. She didn’t know those things until Victoria slammed a stack of newspapers and magazines in front of her.
"Pop", another magazine fell on the table.
“Look, who the models are in the latest issue of Fashion Bride?"
Jenny slightly stunned, put down the half-peeled apple in her hand, followed the sound to look at the cover of the latest issue of Fashion Bride on the table.
The man in the black suit had a cold face, sitting on a sofa chair with one hand on his chin, with a woman in a wedding dress sitting across his lap, a delicate figure, revealing a smooth back, and slender legs on both sides, the woman looked back at the camera with a seductive smile on her delicate face.
“Don’t see anything now.”
Victoria closed the magazine, pulled Jenny up from sofa and said, “Hurriedly pack up and go home when it’s just a provoking method. Just receive it while he giving you the steps. Otherwise, you can’t go home when the fake things become true.”
Jenny got confused by her words, “Ah?”
“Don’t hesitate. Come on, I'll send you back, go!"
Jenny was still dazed until she got on the cab.
Victoria put the phone to her ear after Jenny had left, “Whether your news is reliable or not? Couldn’t your buddy really like others? I extremely worried about it when I saw the news.”
George’s voice sounded in the phone, “Absolutely reliable. He didn’t eat anything recently. I called him out to have dinner but he refused. He just stayed in office or apartment every day except for attending events. I once visited him for twice, and I think he’ll be invalid if Jenny kept refusing to come back.
“That’s better!” Victoria threatened to the phone, “If I find that the fact is as media issued instead of the words you said, your two arms may have to be broken and reattached.”
“My dear Victoria, I can lie to everyone but you!”
Victoria was in good mood. It’s important for her that her best friend was taken seriously. She was calling as she walking upstairs, “I feel good today. Treat me for dinner after I changed my clothes.”
“You feel good, but let me treat…ok, I treat you…”
At that moment, Jenny sat in the cab, holding the phone with some hesitation.
