At this time, the bar, is chatting with the woman opposite the man, see the phone screen next to the light up, eyes slightly moved, a few seconds later, pressed the refusal.
The short-haired woman on the other side swept the screen notes and laughed lightly, “Why didn’t you answer?”Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
Kemp Ross indifferently bowed his head and took a sip of ice water, “No reason.”
She should still be at some party right now, and now suddenly call him, no need to think because of what.
“Aren’t you afraid she’ll be angry?” Miley Gu raised her eyebrows, looking warm and gentle, as if she didn’t care at all.
Kemp Ross looked up at her faintly, “I picked up and told her I was with you and she wasn’t mad?”
“…”
Gu to the corners of the mouth smile Rong a moment to become a few embarrassed, “Sorry, I forgot that you have always disliked lying.”
Just now, she saw him hang up the phone instantly, she was still a little grateful and smug, self-deceiving her.
At this time, Phoebe Barnes over there after the phone was rejected, the whole look fell down, heart hard and disappointed.
She believed in him so much, so much …
The fingertips clenched the phone, half a long time, she bit her lip, and some reluctantly dialed once again.
The phone screen lit up again in a second, Kemp Ross saw it, ink pupils and imperceptible shrinkage, and then slowly wrinkled his brow.
Miley Gu’s brow tightened slightly and she waited for his reaction without saying a word.
Just as the phone was about to stop ringing, the man’s white, slender fingers moved and pressed answer, placing it to his ear, “Hello.”
Phoebe Barnes heard the man’s familiar voice, her heartbeat lifted for a moment, and it took a while before she exhaled softly, “Where are you …?”
Kemp Ross mocked lightly, “Does it matter to you where I am? Are you going back now?”
Phoebe Barnes was stunned and said dryly, “I … me, I’ll be back soon, are you out there now?”
Kemp Ross seemed to not want to say another word to her as if he hmmed carelessly.
Phoebe Barnes’ drooping fingers pinched the edges of her dress, and her soft voice had a kind of exhaled doubt that eventually drowned on her lips, only to say softly, “Then go back early, I’ll be waiting for you.”
The man’s dark eyes could not see any fluctuations, like an ancient well under the moon, cool, as if with thick emotions, but also as if nothing, listening to her half-day mumble out a sentence, lips swept a very thin sneer, a long time before faintly said: “Well, I know, if you get too late to call Campbell Butler to pick you up back. ”
“Well, good.”
Put down the phone, the man like nothing has just happened, raised his eyes to look at the woman opposite, warm voice: “If you have nothing to do I’ll send you back, it’s not safe to come out alone at night.”
“Kemp,” Miley Gu in the moment he picked up the phone heart some uncomfortable, but she did not show it in the slightest, playful smile, “this is really strange from you to say, I am not a teenage girl, safe or not depends on what kind of people are met. The people? I don’t feel unsafe with you around.”
“Miley Gu!” Kemp Ross frowned slightly, but did not show too much emotion, still calmly said: “I naturally will not watch you in danger, even if I am not here, will not let you be in any danger.”
Miley Gu sniffed, the corners of her lips unfolded, slowly smiled, fresh and bright smile, the eyes of infatuation without the slightest concealment.
Kemp Ross pursed his lips slightly and did not speak again.
…
Phoebe Barnes, who had just hung up her cell phone and was still gloomy, was sitting in the lounge to calm down.
Hugging his knees and sitting on the sofa, his eyes dark and silent, like a deep bottomless abyss, calm and somewhat abnormal.
One-shoulder backless long skirt wrapped around the entire legs, but the entire spine is almost completely exposed, white and smooth reflections, thin bones and concave shoulders as thin as paper, as if a pinch will break.
The cold white light falls in the small space, because too quiet and appear extraordinarily cold, the long dress bright red color in turn set off a few blindingly sad.
Not a few minutes later, the phone rang abruptly, her shoulders trembled gently, her eyes quickly back to focus, extremely fast to look at the phone, see the note suddenly flashed again a trace of loss.
After adjusting her emotions, she pressed connect, “Shi-sensei.”
“Where are you? Is there a problem?” Ann Shi’s warm, clean voice was laced with a touch of worry.
“I’m fine, I’ll be out in a minute.”
Ann Shi added: “I just came out of the venue and heard the staff say that it’s about to be your performance and that you should go backstage to get ready, but I can’t find you now.”
“…”
Phoebe Barnes slapped her forehead as if remembering with a start, took a breath, stood up, and said into her phone, “Excuse me, I’ll be right out.”
How did she give forget where she was now.
The Kemp Ross thing really messed her up at any time.
Pinching her brow, she hung up the phone and walked quickly outside with the hem of her skirt.
Just as I pushed open the door to the lounge, the phone rang again.
It was Nancy MO calling, and she answered without thinking.
But the person on the other side of the phone is not Nancy MO, but a man’s voice.
“Hello, are you a friend of the owner?”
Phoebe Barnes immediately stopped in her tracks and wrinkled her brow, “I am, may I ask you?”
“Oh, it’s like this, your friend is drunk and unconscious in our bar, crying and laughing, disturbing other customers, I’m sorry, I wonder if you can come and pick her up?”
“…”
When Phoebe Barnes arrived at the “Night” bar, she was still wearing her dress and everything was still the same, and as soon as she entered the bar, her tall and delicate figure immediately caught everyone’s attention.
But she didn’t seem to notice, her eyes swept around a bit anxiously, didn’t find it, and finally walked towards the bar, gasping, “Excuse me, I’d like to ask, I was called to pick up a drunk girl earlier, where is she now, please?”
The bartender was shaken for a moment by this sudden intrusion into the sight of the charming face, turned around and said soberly, “Oh, it’s you, please follow me!”
Along with the bartender, Phoebe Barnes finally found the woman sitting on the floor holding a bottle in the corner, drunk as a puddle, leaning against the wall with her head tilted, her body shrunken into a ball, her hair spread out to almost cover her entire face.
Her heart ached, tears almost instantly came out, quickly walked over and hugged her, “Nancy … what’s wrong with you?”
She was so busy during this time and the two of them didn’t have much contact, she had no idea what had happened to her.
She has always been so optimistic and positive, why would she suddenly come here to get drunk?
“Nancy! Nancy!” she tapped her little face, trying to get her to wake up a little.
Perhaps Phoebe Barnes’ voice was too familiar, the already chaotic Nancy MO slowly opened her eyes, looked at her in confusion and mumbled out, “… Phoebe?”
Phoebe Barnes was delighted, “Nancy, it’s me, why are you here drinking so much?”
Nancy MO like suddenly saw a loved one, emotionally collapsed, hugged her fiercely, wow cried out, “Phoebe … I feel so bad, I feel so bad … heart hurts so much …”
