desire to be loved
Chapter 6: The Calm Before the Storm
If it weren't for the faint tingling sensation from the finger joints, Roy couldn't believe that he really punched Luo Jie.
Even though he was in a confined space, he felt a cold wind blowing across his chest. The cold wind rushed into his tiny pores and flowed along the blood to the whole body. The alcohol in the blood also evaporated with the chill.
Tightening the hem of his clothes, he sat up, and his current state of mind was very consistent with the sentence "It hits you, but it hurts in my heart."
After all, that punch was the strength of his breastfeeding. Seeing the faint blood oozing from the corner of Luo Jie's mouth, his heart ached.
Although there is an urge in my heart to see Luo Jie's situation, what should I say when I see him?Should I be responsible for my actions, or should I apologize for my immature thoughts?
No matter how he thought about it, Roy felt that the crime of beating someone himself was more serious. After settling his mind for a night, he decided to apologize to Luo Jie first.
As soon as he stepped out of the door, he heard a rumbling mechanical sound coming from Luo Jie's bedroom, "Knock—knock—" He politely knocked on the door twice.
The mechanical sound stopped in an instant, and the door opened in the next second, and a middle-aged woman in a colorful tracksuit looked at him.
"You... are you?" He thought to himself: How could such a person appear in Luo Jie's family?
"I'm the maid, Mr. Luo's younger brother! You can just call me Mama Zhang." The woman's round and bulging cheeks looked like two meat buns, and her warm smile made people feel more cordial .
Roy nodded, he remembered that Luo Jie had mentioned this to him two days ago.
"Jie... has my brother gone out?"
He is a bit unaccustomed to calling Luo Jie with the word "brother". The last time he called him brother was probably in middle school. At that time, he ran behind him all day long and treated him like an idol.
But ever since he confirmed his feelings for Luo Jie, he hated that title very much, and always felt that every time he shouted that word, the shackles on his heart became heavier.
If there is no bond of blood relationship and family affection, maybe he can decisively express his heart, but now unless he abandons this heart, otherwise he will not call his brother in front of Luo Jie.
"Mr. Luo just left the house. He has prepared breakfast for you." After Zhang's mother finished speaking, she turned on the vacuum cleaner and continued the work just now.
breakfast?
Hearing this, Roy walked into the dining room and looked at a plate of muffins on the table. He sneered, "What a good brother!" The next day after a conflict with his brother, he was still so enthusiastic to help him make breakfast.
Roy was not moved by this, because the breakfast in front of him seemed to be mocking him, and Luo Jie never took his matter to heart.
Since there is no way to resent Luo Jie, then he can always show dissatisfaction!From today onwards, he has been a rebellious younger brother, leaving the breakfast made by Luo Jie aside, and he called his boss.
"Jill, are you awake?"
Although it was exactly nine o'clock in the morning, based on the American schedule, there was a high chance that Jill hadn't woken up yet.
"Still waiting for your call."
Hearing that Jill's tone was still full of energy, his worries subsided, "I'm sorry, I didn't call you last night. Didn't you want me to spare time for you tonight, so let's make an appointment to meet there again?" In fact He completely forgot about it last night!
"Wait for me in the lobby of the hotel at six o'clock tonight. Dress formally."
Want to wear formal clothes?Could it be that Jill changed his mind and wanted to let himself join this case, "Are you going to talk about work?" Roy asked curiously.
"You'll know when you get there," Jill told him.
"Does it have to be so mysterious?"
Jill knew that Roy was more interested in what he mentioned last night, "Don't be so anxious to know the answer, you will thank me after getting through tonight." If there is no case.
How could Roy not be in a hurry, thinking that this matter might shake the relationship between him and Luo Jie, he became uneasy, "I warn you, don't approach Luo Jie and tell him some things that you don't know. ’ he warned Jill in a passover.
Jill responded with a strong voice: "I promise you, I will not approach him." But if the other party came to him, it would not be his fault.
******
Roy deliberately avoided the time when he might meet Luo Jie. The clock on the wall was less than five o'clock before he went out. He didn't know until he arrived at the destination that the place Jill wanted him to accompany him was a businessman's birthday. banquet.
The resplendent venue, brilliant crystal lighting, high-end food, political and business celebrities gathered here, all came to participate in the birthday banquet of Taiwan's richest man Xiao Renxiong.
Roy followed Jill in a daze. He knew a thing or two about the protagonist of today's banquet: Xiao Renxiong, but he was still waiting for Jill to answer him.
There was a handsome guy by his side, not to mention a blond foreigner, so from time to time women came forward to show their affection to them. Seeing that Jill was having a good conversation with them, Roy planned to hide quietly in the corner, and only took a step away. Hold on to his shoulders tightly.
don't try to run!Jill gestured with his eyes.
Roy glared back, got it!If Luo Jie saw this scene, it might cause another dispute, and he turned around to avoid Jill's restraint.
Then he spoke to them uncomfortably, but he didn't expect the two women to stop talking about him.
One of the ladies lifted his hair, "Your hair is so beautiful! How do you take care of it?" She couldn't put it down because of the smooth touch.
Spraying less chemicals on your hair is the best maintenance.Staring at her hard hair, Roy couldn't help but feel sorry for those hairs.
"Even the skin is so good, I don't think we as women are as beautiful as him." Another noble lady touched his cheek coldly, and then attacked his hands after touching the cheek.
The two women kept eating his tofu, which made him embarrassed and didn't know what to do, so he quickly pulled Jill, "I'm sorry we were a little excused in advance."
After finally getting rid of the two women, Roy hid by the curtain and drank juice.
The person next to him suddenly smiled, to amuse him, "I think there will be men coming to strike up a conversation soon."
"Stop making trouble!" Roy gave him a blank look, "Didn't you say you have an appointment with Mr. Xiao, there seems to be no one around him now."
Seeing that the guests around Xiao Renxiong gradually dispersed, Jill immediately stepped forward and extended his right hand to congratulate him in Chinese: "Happy birthday, Mr. Xiao."
Xiao Renxiong also shook his hand back politely, but he had no impression of the foreigner in front of him, "May I ask who you are?"
Knowing that his boss's Chinese is not very good, Roy took the initiative to play the role of translator. "Mr. Xiao, hello, this is Jill Valentino, the general manager of Amber Architects, and I am his designer Roy."
Hearing Amber Construction, Xiao Renxiong's eyes shone abnormally, "Hi, first time meeting, General Manager Valentino, I'm sorry to trouble you to come to Taiwan this time." He waved to the waiter and brought the tray The champagne on the table was passed to Jill and Roy.
Jill responded politely: "No, I am very interested in your invitation." This is the best start to attack the Asian market.
Xiao Renxiong looked very happy, "With your company joining, I am looking forward to this construction project." Although Taiwan's technology is not inferior to foreign countries, he holds the mentality of "There is room for improvement when there is competition." .
"I'm also looking forward to communicating with local designers." Jill thinks so too.
"I invite today's birthday star, Mr. Xiao, to come and cut the cake." At this time, someone broadcast with a microphone.
Xiao Renxiong somewhat tried to do his duty as a master, he waved his hand and called the waiter, "These two are my honored guests, please treat them well." He nodded apologetically to them, "Sorry, I'll excuse you first Please enjoy the delicious food and wine during this period.”
"Don't worry, today's day is not suitable for discussing business, you go to the stage."
"Then we'll see you at the proposal meeting." Xiao Renxiong then walked to the stage.
As soon as Xiao Renxiong left, Roy couldn't help but be full of curiosity, "This new case is related to him, what is it about?" With rich investors and the largest construction company in China, this case must be full of excitement. challenge.
Jill smiled all over his face, "You'll know in a few days, let's enjoy this short period of peace now!" There was a hint of deceit in his eyes, and he took the second glass of champagne and toasted Roy, and the glass crashed. The crisp sound hinted that the next good show was about to start.
Even though he was in a confined space, he felt a cold wind blowing across his chest. The cold wind rushed into his tiny pores and flowed along the blood to the whole body. The alcohol in the blood also evaporated with the chill.
