“So you mean it’s my fault?” Kenny stared at Gloria.
She did blame him last night before he showed up, but after his explanation, there was no anger inside her anymore.
Yet just now, his words and how he put it was unacceptable for Gloria.
“No, that’s not what I mean.” She said no more and went to the bathroom.
She was just joking about this, while Kenny seemed to consider her pleased to be on the news with Si.
Gloria dressed up after the bath and she went downstairs without a word with Kenny.
They had breakfasts in silence and then went to work separately.
Gloria got to the company and met Edith Hall who pulled her aside and asked.
“Did you had dinner with Si?”
“Yeah, and it was Kenny who asked Si, but he was still at work, so Si and I went there earlier.”
She explained what happened last night to Edith in general.
“Poor Si. Ten years in the business should have got him much more careful of paparazzi.”
Her words reminded Gloria that as long as she was with Si, he got snapped pictures, and his face was clear every time.
Gloria got more confused as she thought of it.
She and Edith walked to the elevator as they chatted.
The door opened, and walked out Si and his manager Xu Jun.
“Gloria.” Si smiled and greeted.
“Hi.” Gloria did not say much and kept her distance with him.
Something fleshed through his eyes, but nobody caught it.
“Si, last night in Jin Ding, did you have no idea that paparazzi was there?” Gloria stopped him when he turned around and was about to leave.
Si got his back to her, but Gloria noticed his neck twitched a bit along with his head.
And Xu Jun turned back to her with curiosity.
Two minutes after Si paused, he turned to Gloria as well and apologized.
“I’m sorry to get you into this, Gloria. I’ll take care of it though.”
His tone and smile were still mild and gentle, yet this time Gloria frowned at it.
“Such a gentleman. Ah, he is so my type.” Edith whispered to Gloria when Si moved away.
“No, I don’t think so.” Gloria shook her head.
“Well of course, you don’t. You’ve got Kenny, and...”
Edith kept saying while Gloria had no attention on her anymore.
From the first time she met Si Chengyu, he left the impression of gentleness and generousness, which made people can not help to get close with him.
But recently, every time she was with Si, it felt like he was hiding something.
And she never saw him ever lose his temper. Whatever happened, he was always calm and steady with smile on his face.
Except for once. In the tea house.
And it was after that, Si still smiled whenever he met anyone and was still mildly, but Gloria found him different in some where.
Maybe his expression in the tea house that time affected her, Gloria thought.
...
Because of the picture, Gloria and Kenny were both upset.
And they kept busy all day, leaving no time to contact each other.
At night, Kenny went back home after Gloria was asleep.
He walked into the bedroom quietly, seeing one of her hands falling and her cellphone on the floor.
Kenny picked up her cellphone and her hand. He then sat down on the bed, watching her sleep.
After a couple of minutes, he got up into the bathroom.
Hearing the bathroom door closed, Gloria opened her eyes.
Recently, Kenny went home late, for which he told Gloria not to wait for him, but even she went to sleep, it was light, and any sound inside the room would wake her up.
She turned her back to the bathroom and tried to sleep again, but once she closed her eyes, her mind was filled with everything happened in recent days.
It was not long until Kenny finished his bath.
The room was softly lit by the lamp stitched on by Kenny, and he could notice Gloria was in different posture.
He wrapped her in blankets and lied down in the other side of the bed.
Then Kenny cuddled her to sleep, but Gloria in his arms turned over to keep distance with him.
He reached to her again, yet Gloria turned as well, still pretending to be sleeping.
Two of them cuddled and turned for several times, and finally, Kenny ran out of his patience.
“Gloria Taylor, are you mad at me?”
“No.”
Kenny paused a few seconds and said.
“I’ve been busy lately. Don’t treat me like this.”
“Wow, don’t talk to me like you’re the only one being busy.” Gloria sneered.
As a matter of fact, what happened this morning was not even a quarrel.
For Gloria, all she needed was a few nice words of him, but instead of it, Kenny was just blaming her.
Gloria threw back the covers and got out of the bed. Contents belong to NovelDrama.Org
