Chapter 648 I’m Afraid She’ll Be Sad If She Knows
When it came to working, Lottie trusted Connie very much.
She only asked Connie, “Do you want me to go with you?”
Connie shook her head and said, “No, I can go by myself. You can stay at home for a few days and familiarize yourself with the script when you have time.”
She heard that Javion was very strict and had a very high standard for actors.
It had been a long time since Lottie acted in her last play. She was afraid that something would go wrong.
“Don’t worry. I’ll definitely have a profound understanding of the entire script.”
Connie nodded. She picked up her bag and smiled, “Then I’m leaving.”
“Wait.” Ralph placed the washed bowls in the closet and wiped his hands with a dry towel before looking at Connie.
“Let me drive you there.”
Connie was stunned. “What?”
She had never been in Ralph’s car alone because he was so busy. Could he spare the time to drive her? Will she get in trouble for taking his car?”
Connie shook off this terrifying thought and then said cautiously, “Don’t bother. I can just take a taxi myself.”
Before Ralph could continue to persuade her, Lottie said, “Let him drive you there. I’ll be more at ease.”
“But…”
“There are no buts. You know that Lincoln’s affair has not yet been sorted. Who knows what he will do? If anything happens to you when you are out, I will be very worried.”
Under Lottie’s persuasion, Connie had to agree.
“That… that’s fine.”
Connie followed Ralph, trembling, and they headed for the carpark.
Lottie didn’t go with them. She was a little tired and wanted to take a nap with the children.
Ralph chose a low-key luxury car. At least Connie didn’t recognize the car plate number. She guessed that many ordinary people wouldn’t know either. Then it could be seen as low-key, right?
Connie walked to the front passenger seat and was about to open the door when she heard Ralph say, “In the back.”
Connie was stunned again, “What?”
Ralph said lightly, “My co-driver seat is Lottie’s.”
Connie was dumbfounded at Ralph’s declaration of their love.
In fact, she had just thought about this, but if she sat in the back, wouldn’t Mr. Chapman look like her driver? He was the boss of SFLE Media and her immediate boss. She had never dared to think about having the boss drive for her. However, since it was her boss’s request, she could only live with it. In fact, when she thought about it carefully, she felt a little on cloud nine. To have Mr. Chapman as her driver was beyond others’ imagination.
Connie had many strange thoughts in her mind, most of which were displayed on her face and were therefore very easy to understand.
It was particularly easy to get along with such a person.
Ralph saw her expression through the rearview mirror and thought that this might be one of the reasons why she had such a good relationship with Lottie.
No wonder a proud guy like Alfred would like her.
When Connie was seated properly, Ralph drove the car out of the park.
After they drove further away, Ralph asked Connie, “Do you know why I insisted on the drive you there?”
Connie nodded and then shook her head.
Ralph smiled. “Do you know or not?”
“At first, I thought it was the reason that Lottie mentioned, but on second thought, there must be another reason.”
Ralph smiled and felt that she was quite smart. “It’s not convenient for me to ask Lottie, so I took this opportunity to drive you off to make clear the whole story.”
Hearing his words, Connie was certain what he wanted to ask.
“You want to ask me about Ian Louis?”
Ralph asked her, “Are you not going to call him Mr. Louis anymore?”
Connie snorted, and then she said loudly, “He doesn’t deserve it!”
If it weren’t for Mr. Chapman’s sake, she would call Ian a bastard!
“Did you quarrel with him today because he spoke ill of Lottie?”
“How did you know?” Connie blurted before she could cover her mouth.
It was late. Judging from Ralph’s reaction, it was obvious that he had already known what was going on.
Of course, Mr. Chapman was so smart that he had controlled everything.
Connie pursed her lips. Since she had already said it, she would not try to conceal it any longer. She recounted the entire argument between her and Ian to Ralph.
She didn’t exaggerate and even tried to put in some good words for him.
“Maybe it’s just that he was sharp-tongued but he doesn’t really dislike Lottie. It’s just that I have a bad temper and lost my temper on the spot.”
Ralph shook his head. “I know. You don’t need to explain.”
When he was in the study, he found that Ian seemed to be dissatisfied with Lottie.
Combined with what he had said and done in the Chapman family, it could be concluded that he really did not like Lottie.
When Ian praised Lottie’s stew in his text message, Ian might have forgotten that the stew had been spilled all over the ground, so Ian was impossible to taste that stew.
Ian’s reply proved that he hadn’t had the lunch prepared by Lottie at all.
He might have thrown it away.
Connie heaved a sigh of relief upon seeing Ralph’s look.
She couldn’t say bad things about his brother in front of him, so she just said to Ralph, “Mr. Chapman, Lottie has suffered a lot to be with you. You shall be nice to her.”
No matter what Ian’s attitude was, he had to protect Lottie! Connie thought to herself.
Ralph nodded solemnly. “I will. I will be kind to her for the rest of my life.”
After all, Lottie was the one who would spend the rest of her life with him.
Connie knew that Ralph was reliable, so she didn’t say anything more.
Ralph drove Connie to where she and Javion had agreed to meet.
Before Connie got off the car, Ralph said to her.
“I hope you don’t reveal Ian’s attitude to Lottie. I’m afraid she’ll be sad if she knows.”
Connie patted her chest, “I won’t, Mr. Chapman. Am I that unreliable?”
Ralph nodded. “I know. You’ve always protected her and she has seen you as her sister and one of her family.”
Connie blushed when she heard this. Although she was very close to Lottie, she was still a little shy when she was acknowledged by her close friend’s husband as one of their family.
“If you encounter any trouble in the future, you must tell us.”
Connie was thrilled. The acknowledgment of her boss was more important than anything else. “Of course!”
“Will someone drive you home later?” Ralph asked. “If not, I can come and collect you and bring you my home again? I’m sure Lottie wants you to stay with her.”
Connie waved her hand and was just about to refuse when she heard a familiar voice behind her.
“There’s no need. I’ll drive her home.”
Connie and Ralph turned around and saw Alfred being helped down by his butler from a car next to them. Then, he sat in a wheelchair and calmly looked at Connie who was sitting in Ralph’s car.
Connie noticed him getting out of the car without anything to cover his face.Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
In a hurry, she opened the car door and got out of the car.
“Are you crazy? This is downtown. Are you afraid that no one can see you?”
