How could Gloria please Kenny within three seconds?
It was just a matter of breathing in and out.
And why should she please him? She just asked him several questions about Carl Cook!
“Time’s up.” She did not think of a single method before Kenny spoke again.
Kenny reached to her, lifted her chin, and kissed her on the lips.
It lasted almost half a minute, and then Kenny sat back.
“That’s how you do it. You got it?” He looked at her wandering eyes and said.
Gasping still, Gloria nodded.
Kenny did was pleased, so he patted her head like a reward and told her.
“Stay in the car.” Then he got off.
“Where are you going?” Gloria rolled down the window and asked. Contents belong to NovelDrama.Org
“To Mayo Taylor.” Kenny answered and then walked to her company.
Gloria compressed her lips and stared at his back.
She was right, Kenny went here to pick her up and to help her with the resignation as well.
A lot of people went in and out the building in this time, and many was looking at Kenny, because he now was known for the only heir to the Clarke family.
But he ignored all the attentions and went straight to the elevator.
Seeing a stranger went through without, the new receptionist was going to stop him but was dragged by her colleague.
“Don’t mind him. That’s Kenny Clarke from the Clarke family. Let him go.” her colleague whispered, and Kenny went in the elevator.
...
Inside Mayo’s office, he was reading documents and then heard the door opened.
Mayo frowned and raised his head.
“Kenny? ” He put down his pen and stood up.
“Mr. Taylor. ” Kenny glanced at the documents on his desk and said. “Still working, huh?”
“What can I do for you, Mr. Clarke?” Mayo looked into Kenny’s eyes as he spoke, just like the way he looked at Gloria.
Yet, only after a few seconds, he moved away his sight, because Kenny’s eyes were wild and cold like an animal’s. They were terrified.
Mayo gave a little shiver and sat up straight like he was ready to fight a wolf.
“I’ve heard of you, Mr. Taylor, since I was a kid. But it seems like after all those years, ages have weakened you.”
Kenny sat in front of Mayo but still towered over him.
“Are you making fun of me, Mr. Clarke?”
“Oh, you’ll know it when I do.” Kenny sneered. “I’m talking about how you try to control Gloria Taylor by trapping here. Now, that move is weak.”
Hearing that, Mayo got his whole body tensed up. He knew that was his purpose, but he did not thought he would just say it.
“Just like when you had a deal with the Clarkes and left the county, they expected your death there, but you made it back, didn’t you? You should know that this sort of, arrangement or plan, or whatever you want to call it, is going to break.”
“Mr. Clarke, I have no idea what you’re talking about. Gloria did marry to you, but she is my granddaughter, so whether she is staying or not, that’s up to me.”
“Is it?” Kenny smiled, and he said in a soft and slow voice. “And back then, you helped the Clarkes to find my mother. You did your job. They appreciated it. So they put an engagement on me and Anne Taylor. It was a good thing, right? But why did you have to left the country?”
Kenny’s words seemed to the nerve of Mayo, so he pointed to the door and yelled.
“Because that was what I want! It’s none of your business! Now, get out of here! This is my place, and you are not welcomed!”
“I’ll make it mine tomorrow if I want to.” Murderously, these words came out of Kenny’s mouth. “And don’t assume Randy Clarke or any one of them will help you.”
His face pale as ashes, and lips trembling. Mayo Taylor just stood there and could not speak a single word.
That transfixed boy who Mayo considered might live in shock and fright for the rest of his life, now was threatening him in his own office. That would never occur to him fifteen years ago at that abandoned
warehouse.
Mayo sank to his seat, and his voice suddenly became old and gravelly.
“I saw a woman outside of that warehouse. She looked like your father and ought to be his sister. That’s all I know.”
“You can’t expect me to buy this shit!”
Kenny did not believe what Mayo said.
His father, Randy Clarke, had a sister named Manley Clarke. She was the mother of Si Chengyu and his aunt.
But Manley had been a very close friend to his mother for decades,and after his mother’s tragedy, Manley got depressed for several years.
Besides, she was abroad when it happened.
“Mr. Clarke, I’m old. All I wanted to do right now was to keep my family company running. There is no need for me to lie.” Mayo leaned against the back of the seat and sighed weakly.
