The yellow "interview visitor" is still labeled on Nina Morrison's arm. She forgets to take it down. Raymond Lauren reaches for her arm and helped her tear off the label.
Lucien Gray sits in the card. He sees Raymond Lauren's movement. His fingers holding the steering wheel gradually increase strength. His knuckles become white and blue veins twitched.
Raymond Lauren doesn't notice Lucien Gray sitting in the car at all. Raymond gives the umbrella to Nina Morrison thoughtfully, "The bus is coming. You can get on the bus and go home. Please change your wet clothing. Be careful, don't catch a cold."
It makes Nina Morrison uncomfortable being stared by Lucien Gray to interact with another man. She tries to give the umbrella back to Raymond Lauren, "I don't need the umbrella, and the bus will stop in front of the door of the residential quarter. It's convenient."
The bus is coming. Raymond Lauren pulls Nina up on the bus not waiting her to speak. "You're welcome. Just go home."
Nina Morrison gets on the bus. Raymond Lauren waves his hand to goodbye at the stop.
Lucien Gray reverses the limo slowly. Unexpectedly, he steps on the gas. The limo roars through Raymond Lauren. The muddy water splashes by wheels and spatters Raymond Lauren!
Lucien Gray obviously did it on purpose!
Nina Morrison saw it clearly. She is angry but wants to laugh. Nothing has changed. Arbitrary and childish, Lucien Gray was just like this before!
The black limo drives slowly into the house of Gray Family. After a while, Lucien Gray appears at the door, with the whole body getting wet.
Paige opens the door and is shocked, "Young Master, Why are you drenched? Go and change your clothes. I will make you some ginger soup."
"No need." Lucien Gray's face looks as heavy as water. Solitude is written between his eyebrows. He walks into the room.
Paige smiles and says, "Young Master, Miss Wendy has come. She madesoup and brought it to you. She is waiting inside."
Lucien Gray frowns. His steps pause.
Paige sighs inside. What is bad about Miss Wendy? She is one in a million when it comes to the appearance, the family background and the temper. But Young Master always has no interest for her.
"Lucien, you come back! Ah! Why are you drenched? Isn't there an umbrella in your limo?" Wendy comes to him smilingly and frowns after seeing Lucien Gray's wet clothes.
Lucien Gray glances at her with empty eyes. He says out of spirit, "I forgot."
It is raining and he forgot to use the umbrella? Wendy feels strange and unbelievable.
How distracted he is to forget it?
Wendy helps Lucien Gray take off the coat and pushes him upstairs, "Take a hot water. I brought dictyophora soup, and you can take some when it is warm."
