Gloria Taylor bit her lip and continued.
"I even think that they stole Tina because of that, too!"
But after she finished, Gloria did not hear Kenny's voice for a while.
"Kenny? You alright?" She asked.
"I’m fine. Don’t think about this anymore, Gloria."
And he hung up the phone.
Gloria looked at the screen that returned to the contact list interface, blankly.
Why did Kenny hang up so quickly?
He used to let her hang up first.
...
Kenny squeezed the phone firmly in his hand, and the joints of his fingers turned white.
Shi Ye came in with a stack of documents and saw Kenny standing in front of the French windows silently.
He put them down on Kenny's desk before calling him.
"Master Kenny."
"Do you have any smoke?" Kenny Clarke did not look back.
Shi did not smoke much himself, but he always had a pack of cigarettes in his pockets for this moment.
He pulled out one and handed it to Kenny together with a lighter in the other hand, while Kenny took the lighter and the whole pack and then lit one up.
Shi Ye hesitated, but still reminded Kenny him.
"Master Kenny, there will be a meeting in twenty minutes..."
“Later.”
Shi got out, but when he came back after twenty minutes, he was coughed by the smoke of the whole room.
Shi walked to Kenny who was still standing at the window, and he said respectfully.
"Master Kenny, the meeting is about to begin." As he was saying, his eyes were caught by the cigarette butts and the empty box lying on the ground.
Master Kenny was not addicted to cigarettes, but why did he smoke so much all at once?
Maybe he had another quarrel with Lady Gloria, and this time they went too far.
When Shi Ye was thinking, Kenny turned and strode out.
Shi grabbed the documents needed for the meeting quickly and went to the meeting room with Kenny Clarke.
All senior managers arrived ten minutes ago.
"Mr. Clarke, this is our latest revised plan..."
Kenny took it, glanced, and then leaned back, without saying a word. His black eyes were so deep that no one could know what he was thinking.
The manager who handed Kenny the folder got his face pale at once because he thought Kenny was dissatisfied, and others looked at each other and did not dare to speak a word as well.
Out of the corner of his eye, Shi knew that Kenny was actually not angry but was thinking about other things.
The whole meeting room was quiet, and no one even dared to breathe loud.
For no one presenting knew how long it was, Kenny finally raised his eyelids and opened his mouth.
"You don't have anything to say? Then let the meeting end."
He got up and left, leaving the rest of them in the meeting room.
Shi Ye was about to follow him when he was stopped by a manager.
"Mr. Shi, is Mr. Clarke satisfied with the new plan or not? I really didn’t know..."
Shi Ye twitched the corners of his lips because neither did he. Contents belong to NovelDrama.Org
"I have to say I didn’t know as well. Maybe I could take it over and ask Mr. Clarke to take another look at it later?"
"That would be fantastic. Thank you so much, Mr. Shi." The manager wiped the sweat in his forehead and smiled at Shi.
"Don,t be." Shi Ye took the folder and went out.
When he arrived at the office, he saw Kenny sitting on the chair and looking at the phone with a serious face.
Shi knew Kenny would not want to be interrupted right now, so he put the folder on his desk before leaving.
After quite a long time, when Kenny jumped to his feet suddenly and walked to the door, Shi came in with a cup of coffee.
“Master Kenny, where are you going?”
"Don't follow me." Kenny Clarke said without looking back.
...
Kenny Clarke drove straight back to the manor.
Except for the maids and bodyguards, few people were at home in the morning on weekdays.
He went straight to Manley Clarke's room and opened the door.
"Kenny? What brings you here at this hour?" Manley turned her head to look, and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes after she saw it was Kenny Clarke.
"I have something to do with you." Kenny Clarke stood at the door and did not enter, looking gloomy.
"Alright, come on in." It was not hard to say that Manley feared Kenny in some way because her expression became a little stiff.
While Kenny did not go in. He stood at the door with a terrifying expression.
"Who is Si Chengyu's mother?"
“I don't know." Manley answered Kenny calmly though.
"You sure?"
Kenny Clarke walked inside with his eyes fixing on her, making Manley Clarke feel an extremely strong sense of oppression, but still, Manley swallowed but her voice was still calm.
"I really don't know, Kenny."
Kenny stared at her for a few seconds, and then he curled his lips, reached out to Manley's shoulder.
"You don’t have to be afraid of me, Manley. I was just curious. After all, Si Chengyu and I have been cousins for almost thirty years..." His tone turned soft and gentle.
While Manley seemed not to expect Kenny would change his attitude in a second.
"Y...yeah, I know. This shouldn’t be easy for both you and Chengyu..."
"It doesn’t matter. We are families." Kenny retracted his hand and put it in the pocket. His tone returned to his usual indifferent tone. "Maybe you could come to the company and have a visit someday. It has been a long time."
"Sure, Kenny." Delight flashed through Manley’s eyes after she heard Kenny’s words.
"I need to go back now, Manley."
Kenny turned around and Manley walked him out of the gate.
Back in his car, Kenny opened his hand, and lying in his palm was a woman's long hair.
It belonged to Manley Clarke.
