Kenny Clarke crossed his arms and narrowed his eyes coldly at him. He didn’t say a word.
Carl Cook had always been scandalous. He made a lot of friends. He knew that the drink was spiked.
He gave the drink to Kenny Clarke on purpose last night.
Kenny Clarke never put his guard down, but he was rather loose around Carl Cook. It was easy for him to fall for Carl Cook’s doings.
Carl Cook was guilty, “Well, I admit I know there is something wrong with the drink—”
“I’ll get even with you later.” Kenny Clarke coldly interrupted him while turning back to the room.
Carl Cook got a goosebumps. He did a good things. Did he have to be punish for it?
If he escaped now, he didn’t know if he would make it in time.
Kenny Clarke walked to the door. The door was not closed. It was opened a little.
When he came out before, he remembered he closed the door tightly and he even heard the sound of locking.
He pushed the door and entered the room. He bowed his head and saw a slipped by the door.
The eavesdropper probably didn’t know how to hide properly.
Kenny Clarke picked the slippers up and took them to the bed. He put it together with another one. Then, he turned around, took a robe from the wardrobe, and went to the bathroom.
When she heard the door being closed, Gloria Taylor leaned out of the sheet.
There was a pattering sound of water from inside the bathroom. Gloria Taylor slipped out of the bed with her limp body. She picked up the clothes that had been thrown all over floor, put them on, and walked out sneakily with shoes in her hand. Contents belong to NovelDrama.Org
Out of the door, she put on the shoes and ran away.
***
Out of the elevator, she saw Carl Cook and Fu Tingxi.
Fu Tingxi sat on the sofa looking calm, while Carl Cook was the opposite. He was not at ease. He shook his hand and motioned his hand like he was complaining something to Fu Tingxi.
She heard his conversation with Kenny Clarke in the room just now.
Edith Hall was reluctant to reason with Carl Cook. Something must have happened.
If she was Edith Hall, she would do the same.
Kenny Clarke’s character was unpredictable, but at least, he was more open and upright compared to Cark Cook.
Gloria Taylor quietly walked past. She heard Carl Cook said, “I must have owed the young master something in my previous life and I have to repay it now. It is clear that he is the big boss of Sheng Ding Media, but he gives the responsibility to me because he has something else to do. Of course, I can’t resist. That yesterday thing, I did it with good intention. Does he not know about this? I—”
“What are you looking at?” halfway through, he noticed that Fu Tingxi was looking at something else.
Carl Cook turned his head to follow his eyes. When he saw Gloria Taylor, he was so scared that he stuttered, “You… why are you here?”
Gloria Taylor slightly tilted her head. She looked cold just like Kenny Clarke, “I’m just passing by. You can talk.”
He dared not talk. He could say it out loud in front of Kenny Clarke and Fu Tingxiao that he called Gloria Taylor last night to help Kenny Clarke, but he dared not say it in front of Gloria Taylor herself.
“No… We were not talking about anything important, I—” he suddenly felt guilty when Gloria Taylor stared at him coldly.
Now, he believed the presence of evil. Last time he saw Gloria Taylor, he thought that she was a woman with good temper.
But now, she looked at him the way Kenny Clarke looked at him. His heart couldn’t help feeling discontented.
“Sheng Ding Media big boss is Kenny Clarke?” Gloria Taylor raised her eyebrows, “So, the interview invitation letter sent to me by Sheng Ding Media was also from Kenny Clarke?”
Carl Cook felt that the situation was not good. He nodded, but then he immediately shook his head and denied, “No… no! It was me!”
“Oh, I see now.” Gloria Taylor said lightly.
After that, she turned around and left.
Carl Cook watched her leaving and asked Fu Tingxi, “Why do I feel that this has gone too far?”
“Hm.” Fu Tingxi nodded. He agreed.
Carl Cook was agitated. He was doomed.
“I should leave now. I will go back and pack.” Carl Cook stood up and ran outside.
But, as soon as he lifted his feet, he heard Kenny Clarke’s voice behind him, “Have you seen Gloria?”
“She just left.” Fu Tingxi said.
Carl Cook looked at him.
He felt guilty and stammered, “Kenny… Kenny Clarke.”
“What are you afraid of? I’ll get even with you for Gloria.” Kenny Clarke said with a faint smile, “I’ll buy you a drink later.”
“……” he felt that Kenny Clarke was not only going to buy him a drink, but he also wanted to kill him.
Kenny Clarke turned around to go after Gloria Taylor.
But, on the second thought, although they did the most intimate thing last night, it was Gloria Taylor’s first time. It was normal for her to be shy.
Even if he tried to chase her, she wouldn’t want to see his face either.
He turned around and said to Carl Cook, “Let’s go to the company.”
“No. I haven’t had my breakfast yet.”
“Me too. Let’s eat together.” Kenny Clarke nodded.
“……” Carl Cook just wanted to run away.
***
When Gloria Taylor returned to the villa, it was still early in the morning.
She didn’t sleep much last night. She was very tired, but she was not sleepy at all.
Upstairs, she met Leon Clarke who was carrying a bag downstairs.
He yawned and looked at Gloria Taylor in surprise, “Gloria, did you go out last night?”
“Yes. I visited a friend.” Her face was unnatural.
Leon Clarke thought that she was afraid Kenny Clarke would find out if she spent the night out, so he patted her and promised, “Calm down. I won’t tell cousin. We’re on the same boat.”
“Indeed. Quick. You should go to school.”
She went to the bathroom with clothes in her arm. She looked at her pale complexion in the mirror and blushed.
Last night was probably the most impulsive thing she had ever done in her life.
Then, Carl Cook flashed in her mind again.
Kenny Clarke turned out to be the big boss of Sheng Ding Media.
Sheng Ding became a leader of entertainment industry in just ten years.
This year, Kenny Clarke was only 26 years old.
If she didn’t hear from Carl Cook, she wouldn’t have known the real boss of Sheng Ding Media.
He was a man with big secrets.
Was her decision last night too impulsive?
***
Gloria Taylor didn’t have much sleep and now, she looked very pale. She changed her clothes and went to the Taylor Company.
On her way there, she thought of what happened yesterday.
The Taylor Company must have held another emergency meeting yesterday.
This incident coupled with Si Chengyu’s perk of being a celebrity might not be so easily solved.
Perhaps, this things would force Loren Taylor to take Grandpa Taylor home from abroad.
