Reynold was not conscious of it at all and was still staring at Florence with lights in it.
“Flory, you don’t need to worry about me. I’m doing well and it’s not a big deal.”
So something really happened to him?
Florence didn’t notice the invisible battle between the two men. She knitted her brows and looked at Reynold with concern.
“What happened? Hurry up to tell me.”
Reynold shook his head, “You concern about me a lot and I’m so comforted.”
When speaking, he secretly took a provoking glance at Ernest.
Ernest’s expressions became gloomier and he began to exude a cold air.
Reynold became more triumphant. Although he didn’t accompany Florence to the fashion show and Ernest took the chance, he defeated him in this round of battle.
“You’ve been my home and you also know about the geographical condition of my house. Usually there are few cars on the road outside of my house and they usually drive in high speed. But today, there were many cars out of no reason and they blocked several streets around my house.”
When speaking, Reynold shot a glance at Ernest with his teeth gritted.
“I finally managed to get rid of the traffic jam half an hour later. But when I arrived at the hotel, I learned that you’d left. Then I went to the fashion show, only to be told that I was late and I was not allowed to come it.”
So this was the case.
Florence finally understood why Reynold, who had always been punctual, would suddenly be late today.
Florence was shocked that there would be a traffic jam on the roads around is house.
“Could it be that there was an activity in the vicinity of your house? So the cars on the road suddenly increased.”
It was really magical that it even blocked the roads of the surrounding blocks.
“But what confused me that there was no activity in the vicinity of my house today and it looked like that those cares appeared out of nowhere. Moreover, someone had turned on a signal shield on that road and my phone couldn’t connect to the network no matter what means I tired. This is by no means a coincidence.”
Florence also thought that it was not a coincidence.
There was suddenly a traffic jam and even the signal of his phone was shielded. It was really weird.
Florence was a bit worried, “Do you know what’s going on?”
Reynold shrugged his shoulders and took a glance at Ernest meaningfully.
He said with a teasing tone, “Maybe it’s because someone doesn’t want me to come to the fashion show with you.”
Florence subconsciously followed Reynold’s lines of sights and looked towards Ernest.
In the morning, because Reynold was late and she couldn’t get in touch of him, she had no choice and got on Ernest’s car in the end.
Moreover, because she went to the fashion show together with Ernest, she became his female companion out of no reason.
Florence had been together with Ernest during the whole fashion show and the organizer even arranged them to sleep in the same room.
Although this was because she was Ernest’s nominal fiancée, but the cause was that Reynold didn’t come with her.
It seemed to be reasonable if it was Ernest who arranged a traffic jam for Reynold?
Was he the one behind this?
Florence’s heart suddenly missed one beat. But why did he do that? He did that simply because he wanted to come to the fashion show with her and be her male companion?
If that was the case, could it be that Ernest had some feelings for…
Florence shook her head. This was too ridiculous. How would Ernest do such a boring thing?
“Luckily it’s just a traffic jam and that you’re alright. But it’s a pity that you missed this fashion show. You can take part in it if there’s a chance next time.” Florence comforted him.
She was relieved when she learned that Reynold was alright.
Reynold gazed at Florence and Ernest meaningfully. He knew deep down that his words had guided Florence to think over it.
Although Florence had no evidence, she would still be a bit doubtful about that Ernest who used such a clumsy and immortal trick. And this was Reynold’s purpose – to cause Florence to doubt and disdain Ernest.
Reynold nodded and gazed at Florence with a serious look.
“It’s just that I feel sorry for you. I didn’t keep our appointment and didn’t accompany you to the fashion show.”
