"Miss Murphy asked me to stay here and look after her until she's healed." Paige smiled.
"Oh." He spared the words and turned and strode modestly upstairs, not saying much.
"I'll make dinner today, you come down for dinner later." Paige looked at his back and said.
He didn't respond and went straight ahead.
Walking to the door of the master bedroom, he took a deep look at the closed door before returning to his own room next door.
At dinner time, Paige cooked six dishes, stir-fried baby cabbage, braised sea cucumber with spring onions, ginseng chicken soup, braised boneless chicken feet, braised pork ribs and dry-fried cabbage.
The three of them had just sat down together, and Noah's mobile phone rang.
The caller was Camille.
He first gave Jocelyn her favourite stir-fried baby cabbage, before getting up and walking to the floor-to-ceiling window, looking out at the spring view in the courtyard and answering the phone.
"What's wrong?"
"Noah, I'm finished......"
"What's wrong?"
"What am I going to do? Mum finds out I've sneaked back into the country and has just called and wants me to go to her immediately."
"You go back first, I'll be right there." He said with a depressed pinch of his brow.
At those words, Jocelyn's heart jerked and the light under her eyes instantly faded.
The food in her mouth suddenly didn't smell good anymore.
She unconsciously raised her head and looked at his straight back with mixed feelings in her heart.
It was his girlfriend who called to see him, right?
They seem to have a good relationship and he is available at his beck and call.
She knew that she shouldn't care, she knew that she should have put her mind at rest, but why couldn't she do it anyway?
Hanging up the phone, Noah then turned around and returned to the table, looking at Jocelyn's face, "You guys eat first, I have something to do and must go out right away."
Without waiting for Jocelyn to say anything, he walked out the door.
Jocelyn gently bit into her chopsticks, her eyebrows furrowed in disorientation.
Seeing such an image, Paige immediately patted her shoulder as a gesture of comfort.
Jocelyn squeezed a smile towards her before continuing to eat.
"Recently, Pick Me is getting hotter and hotter, the number of hits is already number one on the net ......" Paige changed the topic.
"Hmm."
"I forgot to tell you, I talked to both Nicolas and Dorian about setting up a couple two days ago, and they both agreed that in the future they would follow the script I gave them without a second thought." Paige added.
"Very well." Jocelyn smiled, "Just follow our pre-determined path."
Paige nodded, "I'm sure that with such special marketing methods, the two of them will be able to become popular in a short period of time."
..................
A taxi stopped steadily in the courtyard of a six-storey ancient castle-style villa in the suburbs.
After paying the taxi, Camille got out of the car with trepidation.
After taking a shocked look at the luxurious villa in front of him, the taxi driver reluctantly turned the car around and left.
As the driver drove, he looked around at the luxurious beauty and sighed, "The world of the rich is so much better than the average person can imagine."
Camille took a deep breath, quickly folded her hands and prayed to the sky for herself.
And only then did she hang her head and walk fearfully into the villa.
The living room was lit up like daylight, so quiet that as if she could hear the sound of a pin dropping on the floor.
She knew that this must be the calm before the storm.
Changing into slippers, she continued to hang her head and walked to the living room.
