Chapter 88
“What did you talk about?” Han Penelope held her chin in one hand and looked at Nelissa. She kept picking up food for Nelissa with the chopsticks in the other hand. The chopsticks were clean. Her action was very meaningful, which was a little casual.
“Nothing.” How could Nelissa say that here? She simply ate the food.
“Cut it off.” Jason, who was next to him, boldly spoke. Nelissa glared at him without leaving a trace, as if she was saying, “Cut the crap!”
Jason teased him and pretended not to see him. He continued, “I want to ask you if Jordan is Liam’s son?”
“That’s him.” Penelope nodded and raised her beautiful eyebrows. “What’s wrong?”
“This guy is a little capable. In the amateur racing competition in the United States, I competed with him and he won the championship.” Jason said while looking at Edward, who had been silent, “He is an opponent.”
Han Penelope said, “He used to be very good at other than studying, but…” She changed the subject and threw the topic to Nelissa. “What do you think of him?”
Nelissa ate quietly. Edward turned her eyes in an instant. Seeing her quivering red lips so soft, she took out a tissue, wiped it, and covered her ears with her red lips.
Edward looked at his Adam’s apple and swallowed. He knew that the feeling must be very good, and his warm lips were very fragrant and soft.
Hearing Nelissa’s words, Han Penelope was shocked. “Ah? Why?”
Nelissa continued to whisper in her ear. Han Penelope sneered and said, “You’re scared.”
Edward didn’t know what Nelissa had said, but his eyes were deep.
In fact, Nelissa told Han Penelope that Jordan had been scared away by her because she had two illegitimate children. He couldn’t accept this fact.
She had known a long time ago that not every man could accept the other half of the past, and there were even two people who could drag it on. Although this society was called equality between men and women, in fact, it was not equal at all. It could be said that it was romantic for men to hold each other, but it was unfair for women to hit on each other.
While they were eating, someone knocked on the door and came in.
Nelissa didn’t look up. She didn’t know many of Edward’s friends. She was a lazy woman who could even say hello.
“Did I disturb you? I heard that Young Mr. Hales is also here, so I came over to have a look.” The charming and charming female voice was familiar to Nelissa. She looked up and found that it was Yvonne. She was wearing a British skirt and holding a LV handbag. She looked very elegant.
First, he looked at Edward, and then he saw Nelissa. His eyes flashed and he said, “Hi, Miss Quest, you’re here too.”
Nelissa smiled faintly. “Nice to meet you.”
Penelope asked, “Do you know her?”
“A client’s friend.” Nelissa was the only kind of person that she was not familiar with and did not even want to be familiar with. This woman was also a top-grade weirdo.
Penelope held her chin with one hand and waited to see what would happen. She knew Mu face to face and was very open-minded in the social circle.
“Young Mr. Hales, there’s a luxurious cruise ship going out to sea on Friday night. Come with us. We’re going to play on Saturday, Saturday, and Friday. We’re going ashore on Monday. It’s fun. Let’s get familiar with each other.” Yvonne warmly invited Edward, ignoring everyone present. He only cared about Edward, a man who was very bold.
Nelissa frowned slightly and touched the gold-rimmed patterns on the plate with her white fingers.
Many of the people present were Edward’s friends, and a few of them had seen Nelissa and Edward’s charm. These people didn’t expose it in front of Han Penelope, and they didn’t know what was going on and wouldn’t say anything more. They were all smart people and wouldn’t talk nonsense.
Yvonne’s appearance made them hold the mentality of watching a show. Everyone in the circle knew that Yvonne was a crazy girl chasing after a man. Recently, he had been asking for Edward’s personal phone number.
He was bold and open-minded.
“Okay.” Edward’s thin lips opened slightly in agreement. Her facial features were neither cold nor hot, and she was slightly indifferent. She glanced at the white and clean face from the corner of her eyes and asked Yvonne, “What time is it?”
“I’ll give you a ticket to board the ship.” Yvonne excitedly walked over to Edward and took out a ticket to board the ship from his own pocket. He handed it to Edward and watched him clamped it between his slender fingers. He said with love, “I’ll wait for you.”
“Where’s mine?” Jason joined in the fun and stretched out his hand to Yvonne. He liked to play and could play with whatever he wanted. He was also very curious about the reaction of Nelissa.
Jason turned to look at Nelissa. She said something to Han Penelope, and then got up and went out of the private room.
Jason was surprised that this girl was so arrogant that she didn’t blush with anger and didn’t even try to fight for it. He smiled and looked at Edward, as if he was saying, “It seems that she doesn’t take you seriously. She won’t be angry if she doesn’t get jealous. It doesn’t work.”
Edward frowned.
Yvonne was not interested in Jason. “You’re not Young Mr. Hales, so the treatment is naturally different. I’ll invite you next time.”
Nelissa washed her hands in the bathroom and looked up at herself in the mirror. Her eyes were slightly red. She took out a handkerchief, wet it, and gently wiped it. She was in a bad mood. Looking at her disappointing self in the mirror, she turned off the camera in a bad mood.
She knew that Edward had done it on purpose. It was because she had met Jordan in front of him that he had taken revenge on her for accepting Yvonne’s invitation.
Just let him do it!
Anyway, before her, he must have had a lot of lovers. After her, there must be a lot of confidantes around him. He was neither her nor her. At most, they were just men and women who had sex with each other. In this case, why should she care and be angry?
Nelissa took a deep breath and looked at the mirror in front of her. She bit her red lips and whispered, “Useless.”
She took her bag and went into the bathroom.
Yvonne stepped into the bathroom in his three-inch high heels. He put the LV handbag on the dressing platform and took out a lipstick to make up in the mirror. The phone rang. It was her best friend. She picked it up and said with a smile, “I have an appointment with Edward. He will go out to sea with us on Friday night.”
Her best friend said, “Isn’t that the way to get her?”
Yvonne was very confident in himself. “Of course, I have two whole days and one whole night to get along with him. I promise that I can make him throw himself into my arms and forget about Sophie. As a man, no matter how good his willpower is, he will become a different person after drinking wine. When I wear sexy clothes, I am not afraid that I will seduce Edward. He is not a vegetarian usually. His hobby is to favor me, a woman with a pure appearance and a plump figure. I think I will definitely succeed this time.”
Nelissa pressed the button on the toilet bowl hard, and the sound of the toilet bowl drowned out the sound of her phone. When she opened the door and went out to wash her hands, she had already hung up the phone with her best friend.
Nelissa washed her hands quietly beside Yvonne.
Yvonne had never seen a woman like her before. He said coldly, “Don’t you think it’s rude for you to hide in the toilet and eavesdrop on someone else’s phone?”Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
After washing her hands and turning off the water, Nelissa shook off the water droplets in her hands. She picked up a few drops of water on Yvonne’s face and said lightly, “Did you open the toilet?”
His well-developed chest heaved up and down as he stared at Nelissa. Instead, he smiled and reached out his hand to her. “My phone is out of battery. I’ll borrow your phone for a bit.”
Nelissa took out a dry tissue from the side and carefully wiped her hands. She slowly refused, “My phone is also powerless. You don’t have to borrow it.”
Yvonne couldn’t smile anymore. “You’re so stingy.”
Nelissa ignored her, threw the used tissue into the trash can, and turned to leave.
Yvonne stopped her coldly. He crossed his arms over his chest and asked her directly, “You didn’t record what I said just now, did you? Or you can make a price now, and I will definitely give you money!”
Nelissa couldn’t help rolling her eyes. “Miss Moore, you have a serious wishful thinking. I have to go to the toilet with my mobile phone at all times and wait for your voice to appear. We’re not familiar with each other. You’re not a star, nor are I your fan. There’s no need to do that.”
Yvonne did not believe in Nelissa and always felt that this woman was against her. “You don’t know how to judge a book by its cover. If you don’t let me look at your phone, how can you prove that you didn’t secretly record my voice?”
“What can I prove? Do I have to prove my innocence with a knife on my neck?” Nelissa felt that Yvonne was also an unreasonable person.
“It’s up to you.” She didn’t care what Yvonne thought. She was already in a bad mood when she opened the door and went out!
Back to the private room for dinner.
Nelissa sat down and looked at the dishes on the table without any appetite. She didn’t even look at Edward. Han Penelope, who was beside her, asked her, “Have you been in the toilet for so long?”
Nelissa said in a muffled voice, “I met a person who pestered me.”
Han Penelope looked at Nelissa’s fair face and said thoughtfully, “Your peach blossoms are pretty good recently.”
Nelissa was speechless. What was going on?
Edward put down his chopsticks and pressed his knuckles with his slender fingers. Jason poured him a glass of wine from time to time, but he remained indifferent with a deep expression on his face.
When she was about to finish eating, Nelissa looked at her watch. The lunch break was about to end. She told Han Penelope that she had to go back to work first.
“I’ll give you a ride?” Penelope suggested.
Seeing that she still had a glass of wine, Nelissa shook her head and said, “Forget it. I’ll just take a taxi back.”
After that, Nelissa got up and said to the other people present. Her eyes met Edward’s unusually deep gaze. Then she turned and left.
In the elevator, Nelissa took out her mobile phone and clicked on the contact list. She looked at the numbers one by one. Most of them were registered, and there were not many people around her. She clicked on Edward’s number, but there was no next move.
The elevator door opened quickly from the third floor to the first floor.
Standing outside to help the guest press the elevator, the waiter noticed that Nelissa was still reading on her phone, so he politely reminded her, “Miss, we’re here.”
“Oh.” Nelissa came back to her senses and put her phone back.
