Chapter 641: A Trick to Coax Rex
"Lily..." He is about to speak.
"Don't call me. No matter what you say today, I have to go out. I have to go out!" Lily hurriedly interrupts him.
She has made up her mind to leave!
Rex sees her rushing to the entrance and changes her shoes. He also stands up and follows her. Looking at her blushing face, he softly says, "I'm not stopping you... I'm only worried..."
"I am fine. What are you worried about?" Lily is so furious and anxious that she sounds a little angry.
Rex looks down at her angry face seriously. His eyelashes form a shadow. Seeing that, Lily doesn't have the heart to make him sad. He says, "I'm worried that something else might happen to you."
Lily feels like being hit by a hammer after hearing his deep voice. They look at each other without saying a word. "I know you're worried because of what happened before, but I'm fine. If I'm not feeling well, I won't go out. I will think nonsense at home every day. I need to enrich my life." She says helplessly after a while. NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.
Seeing that he doesn't say anything, Lily is afraid that he wouldn't agree. She hurriedly says, "I don't want to be idle. Do you want your partner to be a deadwood?"
Deadwood?
Hearing this metaphor, the man raises his eyebrows slightly and replies casually, "What's wrong with rice worm? Everything I have is yours. You don't need to run for your life."
"But what's the point of living like that?" Although Lily's is moved, she still has to make it clearly to him, "I love you, but I don't want to have nothing but love."
This is the first time she has seriously talked to him about her work since she recovers her memory. Rex realizes her determination from her eyes.
Suddenly, he misses her to have amnesia because he is accustomed to the Lily who always relies on him. He forgets that this woman is strong.
After a moment of silence, he tilts his head and asks, "Do you have to go?"
Lily is happy. She knows that he is going to compromise. She hurriedly nods and says, "Yes, I'm going."
Rex has no choice because he cannot tie her up at home. Finally, he compromises and says, "I'll let the driver take you there."
Lily breathes a sigh of relief. She is afraid that he wouldn't agree. Fortunately, he isn't that unreasonable. He cares about her feelings.
Lily feels a sense of accomplishment and hard feelings and anger disappears. She stands on tiptoe and holds his shoulder. She raises her head and kisses him on the chin like a kitten. She smiles happily, "You're so nice!"
Her soft and wet lips touch his lips quickly. Rex narrows his eyes and a light flashed his eyes. Just as he is about to embrace her and continue to kiss, her hands pressed against his chest.
"I'm wearing lipstick. I don't want to fix it after kissing you." After saying that, she let go of her hand and goes out after getting the bag on the side. "I'm leaving. See you tonight."
The door is closed, and the spacious room returns to peace.
Rex looks at the direction where she has left for a while. When he looks back, he smiles and says, "My heartless baby..."
After returning to the living room, Fanny, who has been in the kitchen, finds the right time to appear. "Sir, can I help you make another cup of coffee? The coffee is cold."
Rex thinks for a moment, and he says, "No, I'll go out later."
"Sir, are you going out?"
"Yes."
She's not at home, so it's meaningless for him to stay alone.
Thinking of this, Rex picks up the phone and calls Pehry, "I hear that Mr. James asked you about that thing last time?"
...
At eleven o'clock in the morning, in the Red Club's CEO office.
When Rex enters the door, Pehry is angry with Winfred. He is very angry. The documents and landline phones are thrown all over the floor, and the room is in a mess. Those who don't know will think there has just been a tornado.
Rex finds a place to stay. Looking at Winfred's trembling body, he is surprised, "You can go now."
Winfred almost kowtows to Rex and leaves the office with gratitude.
There are only two people left in the room. Rex looks at Pehry who is still furious and says casually, "Who can make you so angry?"
Pehry takes a long breath. He sits on the sofa and kneads his temples. His heartbeats go so fast that he feels anxious. Then he says with worry, "I received a report last night that heroin is found nearby.
Mr. James called me personally today. You know that although I don't have graceful bearing, I never touch drugs. I cannot allow my club to possess it. Obviously, someone is framing me!"
After saying that, Pehry couldn't help but curse, "Damn it!"
Seeing that he is so angry, Rex walks over and pats him on the shoulder. "Turn on the surveillance cameras. Are you mad at yourself here?"
"The surveillance cameras don't catch it; otherwise I would have killed that bastard right now!" The more Pehry thinks about it, the angrier he becomes. He directly kicks down the small chair beside him and says, "Damn!"
Rex rarely sees him so unhappy. He says, "Can I help you?"
"No." He says in a rough voice. His eyes are not attractive anymore, leaving only a frightening ruthlessness. "I tell Winfred that if he cannot watch all the footages on this street today, tomorrow he will be sent to feed elephants in Africa!"
Seeing that he insists to do so, Rex does not continue to say anything. As long as the matter can be resolved, it will be good. "Don't be angry. As long as that poison is not found in the Red Club, everything will be fine."
Pehry sneered, "If it really comes from me, then I will become the laughingstock."
Pehry's family has underworld connections. After all, from his father's generation, they have been unable to clean up the mess. However, his family has always had an unwritten rule that poison must not be touched.
Once a person touches it, their lives will be ruined. The so called self-control is all bullshit.
Therefore, Pehry also takes it very seriously. Now that he has been framed, his first thought is that someone causes troubles to him. However, he is also very surprised that someone would dare to frame him in such aspect.
That person doesn't want to live.
"Does Mr. James cause you any trouble because of what happened last time?" Rex is referring to the two people who have bumped into Lily earlier.
"No. They are not dead or crippled. He has to get a reason if he wants to look for me." After saying that, Pehry waves his hand, not wanting to talk about it anymore. He changes the topic and says, "I have got a lot of good wine. Why don't you pick two bottles?"
On the basement floor of the Red Club is Pehry's private wine cellar. There are many precious wines that cannot be bought at any cost from outside. His cellar contains all the brands at home and abroad.
Previously, Rex will occasionally pick a few bottles from Pehry's cellar and take them away. However, he does not have free time recently. Today, he is free, so he does not refuse. He follows him to pick up two bottles and asks Winfred to put them in the car.
After Winfred packs the wine, he suddenly returns. He is very anxious. He is probably afraid that he would be sent to Africa to feed the elephants. He hurriedly says, "Mr. Pehry, I see the person in the footage. We've got her!"
Pehry pauses and raises his eyebrows in uncertainty, "Are you sure?"
"Yes!" Winfred is eager to prove his ability and takes out a small USB drive in his hand. "You'll know when you see it."
