Chapter 267
Before I could say anything to refuse, I was blocked. Looking at Louie, who wore a smile on his face, I suddenly felt that it would be bad if I continued to refuse.
"Since that's the case, I'd rather accept it." I tilted my head and smiled at him.
We smiled at each other and walked toward the elevator. They didn't say much along the way.
He took the elevator down and looked at the night scene outside. It was a different experience. The bustle of the day and the coldness of the night were different scenes and feelings.
"Do you want something to eat?" Louie asked.
"I haven't been to the snack street for a long time. Do you want to go with me?" I asked.
I smiled and waited for Louie's answer. It was at this moment that I saw a relaxed smile on his face. This not only made me doubt if my previous behavior and behavior had made Louie feel sad and lost unconsciously.
Thinking back to the time when we first met, I got along very well with him. But gradually, everything went away from the original track.
Thinking of this, I felt a sense of loss.
Sounds of low laughter came from above. I looked up and saw Louie smiling at me. "What's so funny?"
"Seeing that you thought you couldn't go to the snack street because I didn't answer you, and then you looked like you were out of your wits, I couldn't help laughing," Louie explained with a smile.
I was slightly stunned. It turned out that he was smiling because of this. I wanted to explain that I was not sad about not being unable to go to the snack street. I just thought of the way everyone used to get along with each other. I hoped to go back to the way I used to be, but I didn't say anything.
"No, I'm just thinking about something."
"What makes you think so seriously?" he asked.
I looked at the time and said, "I wanted to have dinner with you, but my sister has come to live at home recently. It's better to go back early."
"Sister?" Louie said, "Are you here to work?"
I nodded. "I should have found a job. I wasn't at home yesterday. I must be back today..."
At this point, I suddenly stopped and looked at Louie with embarrassment. The two of them turned their faces away uneasily and did not look at each other.
Thinking of the meal I promised just now, I changed my mind in the twinkling of an eye. After thinking for a while, I said, "Let's have dinner together next time. Let's forget about it today, okay?"
"Then you have to treat me to a meal tomorrow," Louie said with a smile.
My heart was at ease. I nodded and said, "Of course. As long as you want to eat, I'll take you there without hesitation."
Louie sent me to the entrance of the community and left. Looking at his car disappearing in front of me, I couldn't help sighing.
I don't know what Louie would think of me in his heart. Would he think that I deliberately took advantage of him, promised to eat, and went back on my word halfway? But on second thought, he felt that he was thinking too much. If Louie really thought of me like this, he could only say that we were not suitable for each other.
Even my people don't believe me. Is there any need to get in touch with me? C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.
Thinking of this, I didn't have so many worries in my heart. I went home in peace. Before I entered the door, I remembered my cell phone, which had been turned off by me. I turned it on and looked at it, only to find that there was no missed call, let alone a call reminder.
I held my phone tightly, closed my eyes and took a deep breath. Finally, I put my phone into my bag.
"Since Harrison doesn't care about me at all, why should I call him specifically to report my schedule and say that I'm going back to my own home tonight? It seems that I'm worried about him and reluctant to leave him."
After some psychological comfort, I took out the key and opened the door. As soon as I entered the door, I saw Ning Jiayi's face with a look of being struck by lightning. Pretending not to see it, I leaned to one side and changed my shoes.
"Sister, why are you back?"
Hearing Ning Jiayi's tone, as if she was blaming me for coming back, I looked at her and burst into laughter. "This is my home. Why do I have to tell you when I go back to my home?"
Ning Jiayi's face changed and she said hurriedly, "I didn't mean that. The main reason is..."
I didn't want to listen to her explanation. I walked past her and went to the living room. Then I saw a person who was impossible to appear in the living room—Harrison!
"Why are you here?" After coming to his senses, I asked Harrison again.
Harrison looked at me expressionlessly and did not speak.
Ning Jiayi walked over to me and explained anxiously, "This is the boss of our company. He got off work late today, so Mr. Stewart sent me back."
Perhaps she was afraid that he wouldn't believe her, or something else, she added, "I didn't want Mr. Stewart to give it to me. After all, yesterday you... but Mr. Stewart said it didn't matter and insisted on sending it to me."
I looked at Ning Jiayi coldly, and my heart was full of anger.
Maybe Ning Jiayi wanted to say something but stopped on second thought. She was talking about Harrison and me leaving yesterday, wasn't she? If she left with the man, she would not return for a whole night. After thinking about it carefully, she would know where I had gone.
But as her younger sister, others could talk about it behind her back, but Ning Jiayi couldn't. As long as she had a brain, she wouldn't take the initiative to mention it in front of Harrison. But now she was talking about it. Was it intentional or not?
"I'll just give it to you. Isn't it normal for a leader to be nice to his employees?" I said with a smile.
Ning Jiayi smiled and took my hand. "I thought my sister would be angry. I'm relieved to see that you're not angry now."
"Why should I be angry?" I asked, pretending to be confused.
I looked at Harrison, who was sitting on the sofa, and found that he was leisurely drinking tea, as if he didn't care about what was happening outside the window, as if he didn't see me and Ning Jiayi. He could pretend to be transparent. Would I forget that it was all caused by him?
"Harrison hasn't contacted me since I worked overtime, and he even sent Ning Jiayi back from work. What the hell is he thinking?"
Yesterday, he saw Ning Jiayi at the gate of the community. Even if he really forgot Ning Jiayi, whom he had only met once, he had come to my house many times. How could he not know that this community was my home on this floor?
But this was not the most important thing. The most important thing was that Ning Jiayi had just been at work for a few days!
Ning Jiayi said cautiously, "I'm afraid that my sister will be angry. After all, Mr. Stewart sent me back."
"If I send you here, I will be angry. Then I will die of anger for at least ten times." After that, I took back my hand, which was held by her, and went to the sofa to sit down.
Through the corner of my eye, I saw Harrison stop drinking tea. But he didn't look at me since I came over and sat down, as if he really didn't see me. I sneered and regarded this behavior as a guilty conscience.
I didn't want to waste time with Harrison, so I asked directly, "Mr. Stewart, why do you have time to send my sister back today?”
I emphasized the word "sister" on purpose.
