At this moment, Rex is in at a luxury apartment next to the company. He has just showered, when picking up the call.
He slightly raises his brows, a little shock, “Who are you talking about?”
Orson jokes, “Lily. Why did your tone is like being caught with a mistress?”
Rex is not in a mood to fight with him. While holding the phone, he walks to the kitchen to pick up a glass of sparkling water. Its liquid then scratches to this throat. “I won’t go, you take care of it.”
“Hey, why should I deal with your people? I think she drank a lot and is almost drunk. Who knows I might take her home and sleep with her, don’t you worry?” Although Orson doesn’t particularly fond of Lily, but feelings are basically involved two people. Rex’s feeling won’t be a barrier.
Deep in his heart, he still hopes that Rex will come. After all, he had been through a cold war with Lily for the past two days. The one that suffers is still he himself. Lately, he has been a work maniac, keep on meeting clients without any purpose.
Being in a relationship will distract him.
Rex tightens his hand that held onto the phone, “You dare?”
Orson laughs, “If you are worried about her, why don’t you just come and… Hello, hello?”
Without finishing his speech, the phone was hung up. Orson takes the phone away from his ears, looks at the screen and says, “Internally cunning man.”
Lily and Abby’s house are completely in a two different direction. The Villa, which is away from the urban area, is far on the east. Orson ponders for a moment and decides to send her first. Otherwise, he would have to go back and forth.
“Thank you, Orson.” Lily sobers up a little while on the way home, which makes her feel bad for him to send her home.
“It’s okay.” They coincidentally run into the red sign of a traffic light. He then turns his head and looks at her, “What happened between you and Rex?”
“Oh….” Lily looks at Orson tangled, doesn’t know how to describe it. Her relationship with Rex doesn’t seems like could be discuss with his best buddy.
Orson sees her entangled face and shaker his head helplessly, “If you don’t want to talk about me, it’s ok. Rex may seems cold from the outside, but he actually has a lot of affection in the heart. You will know it once you understand him.”
Lily is clueless why did Orson told her this, but manage to nod, “Oh.”
It was almost dawn when they arrived at the Villa. Lily gets out of the car and doesn’t forget to ask him to send Abby home.
“Orson, she actually was your little fan. She really admires you.” Lily doesn’t lie. Abby indeed really admire Orson.
Orson recalls the memories of Abby yelled at him, but doesn’t take it seriously. By glancing at the woman sleeping soundly at the back seat, he says, “Relax, I won’t throw her in the halfway. Go inside.”
Lily thanked him again and again, and then turns around to walk to the door.
The night is thick. Under the dim street light, the cool breeze passes, causing the branches of the tree sways. Lily couldn’t help but warps her clothes while standing in front of the door. By stomping her feet, she opens the door and slips in without looking back.
However, under the tree not that far from the gate, a Bentley Bentayga parks quietly on the side of the road. The light is turned off. If the window slit is not lowered, it will seem as if no one is inside.
There is a cigarette butt left all over the ground outside the car’s window. Nobody knows how long he had been there waiting. After the light in the villa is turned on and off, he starts the engine and left.
….
Lily was drunk. The hangover caused her to get up late on the next day. When she opens her eyes, it is already eight in the morning and she needs to work at half past eight…..
She doesn’t have time to eat breakfast and change the clothes. After washing her face hastily, she goes out and takes a cab. But even so, it is almost nine o’clock when she arrives at the company.
She thought she would be scold severely. But unexpectedly, Julia isn’t at the office. When she has just wanted to breathe out, Crystal walks to her nervously, “hurry up, go to A3 conference room.”
Lily puzzles, “Hah?”
