Edith Hall didn’t realize what she said until she finished.
She had a temper. Carl Cook wouldn’t do anything to her when he was angry, but Kenny Clarke wasn’t necessarily the same.
He wouldn’t pity her.
Edith Hall bit her lips. She was partly regretting what she had said before.
Sure enough, the next moment, she heard Kenny Clarke said gloomily, “Say that again.”
Edith Hall dared not do that.
She was worried that Kenny Clarke would end her if she said that again.
At that moment, someone pushed the office door with a bang.
Edith Hall looked back and saw Carl Cook sweating profusely.
He seemed to have come in a hurry. His hair was a mess and he was out of breath.
When he saw Edith Hall, he strode over and pulled her behind his back. He said bluntly, “Kenny, I know that Gloria is gone and you’re worried, but why are you looking for Edith?”
He knew Kenny Clarke’s temper very well.
Since Gloria Taylor was gone, Kenny Clarke was on the brink of sanity. He wouldn’t be easy on anyone near him.
Edith Hall was Gloria Taylor’s best friend. She talked frankly using Gloria Taylor’s perspective which was surely provoked Kenny Clarke.
If he hadn’t heard people saying that Kenny Clarke was looking for Edith Hall, he wouldn’t know what happened.
Kenny Clarke looked at Carl Cook with flatly. Until Carl Cook felt his scalp numb, Kenny Clarke lowered his eyes and said indifferently, “I’m asking her about Gloria.”
Carl Cook found that Kenny Clarke wasn’t angry, he added, “Gloria is your wife, not Edith’s. Do you need to ask others about your wife?”
Carl Cook’s words were both reasonable and unreasonable.
Kenny Clarke was shocked.
It seemed that he really didn’t know much about his own wife.
Besides her family situation and her dream of being a scriptwriter, he didn’t seem to know anything else.
After a while, Kenny Clarke said in a low voice, “You can go out.”
His voice was low, but it carried no emotion. They dared not object for no reason.
Carl Cook pulled Edith Hall outside.
Edith Hall struggled to let go, but Carl Cook didn’t let go of her. He tightened his grip on her hand.
He whispered in her ears, “Do you want Kenny to throw you out?”
Edith Hall glanced at her. She lifted her foot and kicked him.
Carl Cook groaned in pain, but he couldn’t do anything about it.
Out of the office, they could finally heaved a sigh of relief.
After a while, Carl Cook asked her, “Do you know where Gloria is?”
“I don’t know.” she snorted, “I won’t tell you even if I know it. Men are up to no good.”
She used to think that Kenny Clarke was a decent man at the beginning. She didn’t expect to see this side of his.
Gloria Taylor couldn’t turn down Grandpa Clarke, but she was not a fool.
Edith Hall vented her anger toward Carl Cook, “I said that men are always so self-righteous. If it wasn’t because big boss left her no choice, do you think she would escape?”
“What do you mean by self-righteous?” Carl Cook turned to look at her, “When did Kenny ever attract Gloria with force? The Clarke’s affairs are too complicated. It can hardly be made clear. Kenny will not let anything happen to her.”
Edith Hall sneered, “Oh, so you’re saying that you agree with Kenny Clarke oppressing Gloria’s freedom? You agree with that idea because you think Kenny Clarke won’t let anything happened to her.”
Carl Cook didn’t reply.
Edith Hall sneered even wider and left.
Carl Cook was fidgety.
When he knew that Kenny Clarke was looking for Edith Hall, he was so afraid that anything would happen to her.
Now, Edith Hall was fine, but he was not.
He just wanted to talk to her, but now, he could only wish.
***
Inside the president’s office, after Carl Cook and Edith Hall went out, the room was completely silent. Contents belong to NovelDrama.Org
Kenny Clarke slowly walked to the sofa and sat down. His eyes were empty. He was exhausted.
Gloria Taylor was stubborn and persistent.
She could endure the unfair treatment of her family for years and now, playing hide and seek with him was an easy feet for her.
If he kept on looking, she would be hiding.
He was afraid that she might plan another escape.
Kenny Clarke sneered at the thought.
At this point, he was a lot like Gloria Taylor; stubborn and persistent.
It seemed that they were in a stalemate.
If she wasn’t happy, he wasn’t either.
Kenny Clarke felt that his grandfather was too involved that he dared not make a reckless move. He was afraid that Gloria Taylor would know too much and he would be over.
Once people had weakness, they became timid.
After his grandfather’s accident, he became very passive. He no longer took the initiative to check on his mother’s affairs nor tried to clean Gloria Taylor’s reputation.
Perhaps, it was good thing to leave Gloria Taylor this time.
He would stop yearning for their future together and started doing his own thing instead.
Knock Knock.
Kenny Clarke sat up straight and wore his usual indifferent face, “Come in.”
“Young Master.” Shi Ye came in.
He walked toward Kenny Clarke and nodded politely, “I found the young lady.”
Shi Ye thought that Kenny Clarke would immediately give an order after hearing this news, but Kenny Clarke only listened with no reaction.
He tilted his head and carefully observed Kenny Clarke’s reaction. There was no emotion on his face as if he was lost in a daze.
After a while, Kenny Clarke asked faintly, “Where is she?”
“Sydney.” He added, “But, she’s moving to another place. If we send someone there now—”
“Leave her alone.” He interrupted him.
“What?” Shi Ye thought that he heard him wrong.
Shi Ye asked, “Young Master, what do you mean? Don’t you want to send someone to her up?”
Kenny Clarke replied firmly, “No need.”
