“It’s OK.” I finished and turned and cared about Ming, “did I hit you?”
He gently touched my forehead and said, “I’m glad you’re OK.”
I lowered my head shyly.
When I lowered my head, I could not see Erin’s face, but I saw her clenching her fist clearly.
I could think of her eyes without looking.
I looked down and stood in Ming’s arms for a while before I looked up and said to Ming, “I’ll call Lester.”
“No.” Ming grabbed me. “Let the servants take care of Lester. We only go out for a few hours, and we’ll be back at noon.”
“...”
I turned and took a look at Erin.
There was a fake smile on her face. She heard Ming and said, “master, madam, don’t worry. I can take care of young master. I grew up taking care of my brothers. I won’t let young master get hurt.”
“OK.”
Ming answered.
He seemed to trust her very much.
I hesitated and knew Ming wasn’t going to take Lester, so I could only say, “OK.”
But I didn’t trust Erin.
I told Lester that Ming and I were going out for hours, and then I went downstairs and found Briana and Doris in the kitchen.
I said to them, “Ming and I will go out in the morning and come back at noon. You must take good care of Lester and never let Lester and...” I thought about it and said, “don’t leave him alone with Erin.”
When I said that, Doris couldn’t help saying, “madam, you know it.”
“What?” I probably knew what Doris was going to say, but I pretended to ask her.
Briana pulled her on the side.
Doris raised her hand and said, “no, I want to say. I’m angry!”
“What’s the matter?”
“Erin seduces Master every day. She is shameless!” Doris was about my age.
But I could see that she was an honest person.
She looked indignant at the mention of it.
I lowered my eyes and said plainly, “I know. Just protect Lester.”
I wanted to go out of the kitchen.
I thought about it and looked back and said to Doris, “thank you for letting me know.”
-
I went out with Ming and he drove to Noah Center.
When we got there, Haley was waiting at the door.
My heart pounded and I thought about what happened to Sean and me.
I saw a guide sign at the door and it said “from here to Sunshine Inc’s press conference”.
There was an arrow at the back.
Sunshine Inc.
I didn’t seem to have heard of the company before.
Or I was ignorant.
Ming took me to the lounge. Dana had been waiting in the lounge.
Dana came as soon as we got in. She took a stack of information and said to Ming, “President Jessop, these are questions that reporters will ask later. Please have a look first.”
“OK.” Ming picked it up and looked at it carefully.
I sat by.
