Gloria Taylor continued to cut the tomatoes and beef. She was about to make two bowls of tomato beef noodles.
When she was cutting the beef, Kenny Clarke stood by, he didn’t budge. After a while, he said in an odd tone, “You cut slowly.”
Said a man who never cooked, she thought.
Gloria Taylor cut the beef faster. After putting the beef slices on the plate, she turned to look at him at and said, “Get out of here. Don’t get in my way.”
People got lonely easily when the night was late. Kenny Clarke didn’t want to go to the dining table and waited for the dinner alone. He wanted to stay here watching Gloria Taylor cooking.
He made an excuse, “I want to stay here to watch you cook. What if you really poison me? I don’t want to die just yet.”
“I’m not stupid. If I kill you, they won’t let me live either. I’m very expensive. I worth three hundred million Yuan.” Gloria Taylor was only joking.
She blurted out carelessly, but apparently he took it seriously.
Kenny Clarke tried to defend himself, “It was the agreement of the elders of both sides of the family. Cousin disagreed.”
“I don’t blame him. What are you nervous about?” Gloria Taylor looked at him curiously, “I remembered the first day I came here you called Kenny a trash. Now, you’re speaking on his behalf. Do you have a good or a bad relationship with him?”
Leon Clarke asked, “What do you think?”
I thought that you were a shameless psycho.
But, Gloria Taylor dared not say that out loud.
Gloria Taylor served two bowls of noodles on the table.
Perhaps, because of the dead of the night that they put their guard down and chatted while having the midnight dinner.
However, most of the time, she was asking about Kenny Clarke and Leon Clarke would answer her with “Hm.”, “No.”, “I don’t know.” and, “Maybe.”
Gloria Taylor felt that this pair of brothers' good relationship must be fake.
***
The next morning, Gloria Taylor overslept.
She quickly washed and changed her clothes. Then, she ran out of the door.
She met Leon Clarke who seemed up.
He was the same person who got up in the middle of the night and had a bowl of noodle with her last night. Why did she oversleep and wake up depressed while he look so energetic?
He was probably made of steel.
Kenny Clarke frowned when he saw her in a bad mood, “You didn’t sleep well last night?”
Gloria Taylor felt that he was just showing off.
She checked the time and left, “I’m running late. I don’t have time to cook breakfast today.”
She hurried downstairs.
Kenny Clarke followed and grabbed her hand, “I’ll drive you.”
Gloria Taylor didn’t want him to drive her, but she might be late for the bus already.
In the end, Leon Clarke failed to drive her to the office because of a call. Before leaving, he asked his bodyguard to drive her.
***
Kenny Clarke went to a private tea house.
