Colin Hall smiled coldly, “Give me your phone number.”
Gloria Taylor gave her phone number to him.
After Colin Hall saved her phone number, he asked, “Are you going back home? Do you need me to send you?”
She certainly didn’t want him to send her home.
“Don’t bother. I can go home by myself.”
Colin Hall didn’t force her to come, “Bye.”
After her left, she stopped a taxi and went home.
Out of the shower, she received a phone call from Jennifer Jones.
Jennifer Jones asked, “Did Xu Muhan say anything after I left?”
“What do you want him to say?” it was rare for her to have the chance to tease Jennifer Jones.
In fact, she could see that Jennifer Jones liked Xu Muhan.
She was quite surprised. It seemed that Xu Muhan was a commoner. She could see from his style that he was a reliable person, untroubled, but not dull.
He was likeable.
Jennifer Jones was anxious, “Tell me! Did he say anything?”
“If you want to know, why don’t you ask him yourself?” Gloria Taylor advised her.
“It’s a long story.” Jennifer Jones sighed.
Gloria Taylor said truthfully, “He asked me what I was talking about and then, I asked him to directly ask you. Are you happy?”
The other end was silent for a moment. After a while, Jennifer Jones replied faintly, “I don’t think he will come to me.”
***
Colin Hall said that he would need Gloria Taylor to do him a favor in a few days.
She had no idea what Colin Hall asked her to do. He just said that he asked her to accompany him to a cocktail party.
Gloria Taylor immediately refused, “Go find someone else. I can’t help you with this favor.”
Kenny Clarke told her before not to meet Colin Hall.
It was impossible for her not to meet Colin Hall, but she could refuse to accompany him to a cocktail party.
Although the Hall couldn’t compare with the Clarke, but the Hall had a little bit of share in Huyang City. She didn’t want to go to party with Colin Hall and caused another gossip.
Colin Hall seemed to have predicted that she would refuse. He calmly said, “You have promised me before. You will keep your promise, will you?”
“I’m taking my words back now.” Gloria Taylor said firmly.
Colin Hall was silent for a moment. He stared at Gloria Taylor and ridiculed her, “Is it because of Kenny Clarke?”
Gloria Taylor said nothing.
Everyone thought that she and Kenny Clarke were really separated, but Colin Hall didn’t seem to think so.
Colin Hall saw her silence. He leaned closer and whispered, “Gloria, I know you better than the others. I know what you’re thinking. I know what you want.”
Gloria Taylor was not used to a man being this close to her other than Kenny Clarke. She retreated, but suddenly Colin Hall reached out and grabbed her waist, “Gloria, Kenny is not a good man for you. The water in his family is too dep.”
“What do you mean?” Gloria Taylor narrowed her eyes, “When I went abroad before, you said the same thing to me. You said that the water in his family was too deep. How do you know?”
Colin Hall didn’t expect that Gloria Taylor would ask her question after question.
Her tone was aggressive and sharp as well. Colin Hall put on a serious face, “I won’t hurt you. In the past, I might have used you the way I used Anne and the other, but what do now is for your own good.”
Gloria Taylor was convinced that Colin Hall knew something, “What do you know about the Clarke? Tell me.”
“Do you really want to know that much?” he asked. She nodded.
Colin Hall loosened her wrist and said coldly, “You should accompany me to the party. I will tell you when this is over.”
“You—” her jaw dropped. He tried to bargain with her.
Gloria Taylor’s thoughts were too obvious. Colin Hall saw it through.
“Gloria, this is not a threat. I’m a businessman. I don’t do things without benefits. If you want me to tell you what I know, you have to pay me with something. I just want you to accompany me to a party. That’s all.”
Colin Hall seemed serious.
Gloria Taylor thought that it was reasonable.
She owed Colin Hall and he had no obligation to tell her what he knew.
If he knew anything about the Clarke, it must be an important secret.
Whether he wanted to tell her or not, it was his freedom.
Gloria Taylor figured it out and confirmed, “Just a party? Will you tell me after the party is over?”
He frowned slightly seemingly unhappy, but he nodded, “Yes.”
***
The party he mentioned was held at Friday, 8 o’clock in a seven star hotel in Huyang City.
She had dinner with Randy Clarke here before.
As soon as she got off the car, she saw Colin Hall wearing a white suit.
He stood at the gate of the hotel and waited for Gloria Taylor. He was handsome. His white suit complimented his figure.
Kenny Clarke was the opposite.
He didn’t like to wear white suit. He was a deep and restrained person. All of his suits were of dark colors.
“You look beautiful.” Colin Hall came up to her when he saw her getting off the car.
Colin Hall was supposed to pick her up, but she turned it down.
Gloria Taylor was a stubborn person. When she said that she accompanied him to a party, she would and that was all.
She didn’t want the dress Colin Hall send her. She directly sent it back.
Gloria Taylor even avoided Colin Hall’s hands, “Thank you.” she replied.
She was wearing a black gown tonight. It was a simple one.
The bangs on her forehead had grown long and her usual hair was black and straight. Tonight, she did her hair curly because of the party.
Colin Hall took his hand back and smiled bitterly.
She was not the same as before.
Gloria Taylor and Colin Hall walked side by side. Contents belong to NovelDrama.Org
Out of courtesy, she took Colin Hall’s arm and walk into the banquet hall.
Many of the guests were already there. Most of them were women in group.
She heard what they were talking about when she passed by.
“What do you think about my hairstyle? The designer has just returned from Europe. It’s so cool.”
“Nice dress.”
“I don’t know if I can impress Mr. Clarke later.”
Mr. Clarke?
Gloria Taylor stopped.
Colin Hall said, “I forgot to tell you that Kenny Clarke is also coming.”
