Mr Carroll Went Crazy After Divorce

In the room, Aurora and Alex were eating when somebody knocked the door.

“It’s Leah, I guess.” Aurora looked at the door, put down the knife and fork, and went to answer the door.

“I’ll get it.” Alex stopped her and spoke in jest, “She came back so late on business, I’ll criticize her, as her superior.”

“Go ahead, my leader.” Aurora smiled and shrugged her shoulders.

Alex opened the door, and he just saw an attendant, not Leah. The attendant smiled as she passed him two bottles of water, “Sir, I’m sorry I’m late. Please accept he water on the house as an apology.” He just remembered that he had called the hotel for water. He nodded and took them, then said, “Thanks.” He took a step forward specially to light up the staircase by his torch.

The attendant turned and smiled at Alex. He nodded and closed the door.

It so happened that Sion caught the sight when Alex stepped into the doorway. Sion held the banister in a tight grip, and his face was black with rage. He wondered why the man was in Aurora’s room. Why did she stay with Alex late at night as she knew his mind? Did he take the initiative to come, or Aurora call over him?

Sion got more and more angry as he thought of that. He wanted to know what they were doing in the room. But he stopped just after a few steps towards Aurora’s room. Thinking of what happened, he felt very depressed. But he said to himself, he shouldn’t care about it. After all, Aurora sought a divorce all day, and she could perform such an act.

Sion smiled an ironical smile, and something suddenly crossed his mind. His eyes looked sinister, and he picked up his phone, and called the reception of the hotel.

“Hello! I saw a flame in room 806, please send someone to handle it.” said Sion. Then he hung up the phone, and walked away after giving a glance at the door of Aurora’s room.

In Aurora’s room, Alex put the water on the table, and said to Aurora, “Let’s enjoy the tiramisu.”

Aurora nodded, opened the package, and scooped up a ladle of tiramisu. She had a sweet tooth, but she was fussy about her food. She had a good appetite at the moment, perhaps because she had been frightened. “It’s delicious. Have a taste, Alex.” said Aurora.

Alex took a bite of tiramisu, and said, “Yes, but I’m full, so you eat it up. You have to regain your strength for the game tomorrow.”

“Ok.” Aurora nodded slowly.

“Hey!” Alex piped up.

“What?” Aurora raised her head with doubt.

“There’s something on your mouth.” He suddenly stretched out his hand before he finished, and removed the cocoa powder on her mouth.

The candle shone in their faces just at the moment, making a sweet atmosphere. Alex’s desires were kindled, and he leaned towards Aurora slowly. Aurora was somewhat at a loss as Alex was closer. She picked up her hands and was about to push aside him when there was a loud bang from the door.

Just at the moment, the door was smashed down from the outside. Two security guards carrying fire extinguishers rushed into the room, and sprayed foam heavily on the candle flame.

“Don’t worry! We’ll put out the fire on the instant!” one security guard shouted.

“Yes! Get out of the way!” said another security guard.

“Let me!”This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

“…”

Aurora was alarmed by them, and sidestepped instinctively. But Alex’s face was splattered with the foam sprayed form the fire extinguishers, and his spirits were dampened as well.

“What are you doing?” Alex shouted. He wiped his face with his hands, showing several fingermarks on his cheeks.

Aurora was startled by his reactions before she realized it, and shouted, “Stop! You splattered him.”

The security guards took the fire extinguishers away, and locked them. They felt a bit muddled at the scene. “We’ve got it all wrong. The room isn’t on fire!”

A security guard hastened to put down his extinguisher, and picked up a tissue to scour Alex’s face. “Sorry to have troubled you. But you called us to put out the fire just now, didn’t you?” said he.

Alex and Aurora looked at each other, not knowing what happened.

“We didn’t call you. You’d better investigate the matter.” Alex said with a tone of reproach, and took the tissue.

Leah arrived in the nick of time, and she was startled by the scene. “Hey, what happened? Power failure is OK, but what’s all this about the fire?” said she.

“There was a misunderstanding.” Aurora said with a sigh.

The security guards nodded with regret, and went away with their fire extinguishers.

Leah shone his phone flashlight around the room, which was in an utter mess. “We can’t sleep here tonight. We have to change to another room.”

“All right.” Aurora spread her arms, and said to Alex, “Hey! You have to go back to your room.”

Alex nodded. He looked pathetically embarrassed. Besides, he had no grounds to stay with Aurora as Leah was back. “Go to bed early, and ensure you are in good form. Good night!”

Leah and Aurora nodded. Then they gathered their belongings together and changed to another room.

Clothing design game was held as arranged the next day. On-the-spot design was required in the game. The judges and audience sat in a circle and they could watch the contestant in all directions during the game. From the cloth given by the organizer, the contestants should choose three and design their clothes.

Aurora and Leah cheered up each other, and started their design neatly.

Sion and Nevaeh were at the final exchange meeting. Sion appeared casual and glanced down his watch from time to time while others were speaking. Nevaeh noticed his movements, and wanted to ask him what’s wrong with him. But there was complete silence in the meeting hall, only with the voice from the speaking doctor, so she said nothing.

“Thanks for Mr. Jiang’s speech. Have a rest, please. Then it’s time for exchanging your ideas.”

That’s the final part of the exchange meeting. Nevaeh just wanted to ask Sion if he’d like to go for a walk after the meeting, and by coincidence somebody nearby talked to her.

Nevaeh just found Sion wasn’t there when she finished.
