It took her a few second to really absorb what he was saying.
“Why didn’t you tell me this morning?” she looked at Colin Hall coldly.
He smiled innocently, “I knew it just a moment ago.”
Gloria Taylor snorted. She must be dumb to believe the thing he said.
She looked around the banquet hall. She didn’t see Kenny Clarke around.
After Kenny Clarke inherited the company, he received many activities and dinners invitations.
Because the invitations and dinner Kenny Clarke attended was of high level, Gloria Taylor didn’t expect that Colin Hall actually went to the same event as Kenny Clarke.
On the other hand, the Clarke and the Hall were never really business acquaintances.
She didn’t expect that Kenny Clarke would attend this party.
Now, she felt that Colin Hall did this on purpose.
“You’re my plus one now. Your task tonight is to stay with me.” Colin Hall smiled coldly. He motioned Gloria Taylor to follow him.
Her heart was complicated.
If Kenny Clarke came and found out that she was out at a party with Colin Hall, she didn’t what know what it was going to be like.
It was better to turn herself in first.
She stepped forward and covered her belly, “My stomach hurts. I have to go to the bathroom.”
Colin Hall stopped her.
This trick was rather familiar.
At the beginning of the year, Gloria Taylor managed to get rid of Colin Hall with the same trick.
She was embarrassed, but explained sincerely, “This time, it’s really a stomachache.”
She made up a reason, “I don’t feel well. I didn’t know what I ate these part two days. I think I have a diarrhea.”
Colin Hall nodded, ‘I’ll go with you.”
This man was really…
Gloria Taylor breathed a sigh of relief. In distress, she let him accompanied her to the bathroom.
After washing her hands, she hid in the cubicle and called Kenny Clarke.
The phone rang twice and he picked up.
“Gloria Taylor.”
He said in a low voice. He always called her by her full name. After a while, she felt that it was intimate.
Gloria Taylor asked, “Are you going to a dinner party tonight?”
“Why? Are you checking me?’ Kenny Clarke smiled, “Don’t worry. I don’t take a female companion. I take Si Ye with me.”
She was crying for help, but then, she didn’t know how to say it.
When Kenny Clarke noticed that she was not talking, he asked, “What’s the matter?”
“I—” Gloria Taylor couldn’t say it. She dared not say that she accompanied Colin Hall to a dinner party.
On the other side, Kenny Clarke patiently waited for her to speak.
She hesitated for a moment and said, “I’m just checking if you bring a date to the party.”
Kenny Clarke smiled, “I should go to the party now. I will call you later.”
“Okay.” She replied. Contents belong to NovelDrama.Org
After hanging up the phone, Gloria Taylor stayed inside the cubicle.
Kenny Clarke was really attending the party. If she went out, she would definitely meet Kenny Clarke.
After some consideration, she gritted her teeth and sat down on the toilet.
She decided not to go out. She would stay here until the party was over.
She believed that Colin Hall wouldn’t come inside the ladies room to find her.
***
Colin Hall was waiting outside. It’s been a while and Gloria Taylor was still inside.
He called her.
Gloria Taylor didn’t answer the phone. He thought that something happened to her.
After the phone ringing for a while, she picked it up, “hello.”
Colin Hall breathed a sigh of relief and asked, “Why don’t you come out?”
The other side of the phone was quiet and then, she faintly replied, “I can’t get out with a diarrhea. You should go back to the party and let me stay here for a while.”
“……” Colin Hall was at loss for words.
He knew that Gloria Taylor didn’t want to accompany him to the party, but he didn’t expect that she would think of such lame excuse.
Colin Hall said helplessly, “Gloria, have you forgotten our agreement? If you accompany me to the party, I will tell you what I know.”
Although Gloria Taylor wanted to know a little about the Clarke from Colin Hall’s mouth, at the last moment, she found that it was more frightening to face Kenny Clarke’s rage.
“It’s okay. You don’t need to tell me what you know. Our deal is off. Good bye.”
Beep.
She hung up and he was left with a busy signal. Colin Hall was stunned. He stood still with a complicated face. He lifted his feet and was about to leave when a slender man coming.
Their eyes met. When Kenny Clarke stepped away, Colin Hall suddenly stopped him, “Mr. Clarke, long time no see.”
Kenny Clarke stopped and raised his eyebrows, “Do you want to see me that much?” he asked casually.
After Colin Hall helped Gloria Taylor escape, Kenny Clarke threatened Colin Hall that he would finish the Hall Company, but in the end, he didn’t do it.
Kenny Clarke had no pity toward this man who had always coveted Gloria Taylor.
But, he was clever. If Kenny Clarke finished the Hall Company, Gloria Taylor would blame herself.
When Colin Hall remembered about this, his face was awkward. He laughed and said, “No, I’m waiting for Gloria. I didn’t expect to meet you here.”
Colin Hall smiled.
Sure enough, after Kenny Clarke heard him mentioned Gloria’s name, his complexion changed.
Kenny Clarke narrowed his eyes and asked, “Who are you talking about?”
“Your ex-wife, Gloria.” he deliberately added the ‘ex-wife’.
Colin Hall noticed that Kenny Clarke’s face was already gloomy. He added fuel to the fire, “She came to this party with me. After all, you were a husband and wife. Do you want to say hello?”
Kenny Clarke went straight to the ladies room.
“What are you doing?” Colin Hall couldn’t believe that Kenny Clarke actually walked to the ladies room.
It was early. There were only a few people inside the bathroom.
Kenny Clarke remembered Gloria Taylor called him before. His eyes was even colder.
Gloria Taylor, you’re very capable.
When he was inside the ladies room, he started to knock on each of the cubicle one by one.
