The Love Book

The two came to the back of the resting place and sat down.

Joyce Baker crossed her legs, red lips lightly opened, and said in a light voice: “Do you know why I asked you to accept or not?”

Phoebe Barnes looked up at her.

She lowered her eyes, sighed and murmured, “There is something that has been weighing on my heart for a long time, I hesitated to apologize to you three years ago, only you then suddenly had a car accident and then disappeared again, and there was no chance, and this time when I heard you came back, I didn’t find the chance either.”

The things she did with Kemp Ross, others do not know, she heard a little.

Apologize?

Phoebe Barnes eyes got confused, “What other shit have you done to me besides the ones you told me about?”

“…”

The woman looked down and twirled the ring on her finger, and after two seconds of silence, she slowly stated, “Remember Murray Till of the Till Family, who almost raped you when he snuck into the hotel in the middle of the night.”

Murray Till that pervert?

Phoebe Barnes’ eyes glazed over as she stared at her, “Don’t tell me you let that pervert go.”

She could never forget that night, the fear, the desperation, even the thought of death.

If Kemp Ross hadn’t arrived in time, it probably wouldn’t take much to think about what the consequences would have been.

But she always thought it was Murray Till who found the hotel on his own, but never thought there was a connection with Joyce Baker.

Joyce Baker looked at her seriously, her eyes open, “You can also think so, it is true that I told him your hotel address, but the news is Bryrant Anqing to me, but also she asked me to say, after all, I was still Murray Till’s lover, as for Emily Bryrant how to know the. I later guessed that it should be your little assistant who did it.”

After Murray Till’s legs were broken, she never contacted the man again, but the incident kept weighing on her mind.

Phoebe Barnes smiled nonchalantly, “If you hadn’t told me, I probably never would have known, so why would you want to tell me? Because I helped you trip up Emily Bryrant later and you had a guilty conscience?”

The woman’s eyes were quiet, even arrogant cold hum, “What I do is what I do, nothing to hide, I told you, I am a survivalist interest, I have no guilt, much less a conscience, tell you, just want to not owe each other.”

To be honest, in the entertainment industry, not many people have a real clean slate on their hands, who hasn’t done a few fucking bad things? Before Phoebe Barnes, she was all for Emily Bryrant as a gun, in order to get to the top, also pressed a lot of newcomers, but only this time, let her care for so long.

She thought it was probably because she saw Emily Bryrant later.

“Don’t owe each other anything?” Phoebe Barnes fingers lightly clasp the desktop, chew these four words, suddenly spread a smile, coolly said: “So … the two of us are destined not to become friends, only to use each other. You do not also want to use resources to offset this mistake? Say, what are the good resources, I’ll let my agent pick some suitable ones.”

That incident had cast too big a shadow on her, even after so long, she could not easily say she forgave her, or rather, could not forgive at all.

Joyce Baker looked at her speechlessly for two seconds, really could not hold back, but still threw a blank stare, “With Lu young master and Shi Da movie star in, you lack resources?”

The little woman lowered her eyes leisurely buttoned her nails, lightly cried poor, “You also know that I do not like to owe people favors, today happened to meet you this debt repayment, or I will soon have to eat dirt, there is a baby waiting to be fed at home.”

“…”

Joyce Baker stared at her white jealous face and slowly laughed, her voice tinged with a hint of playfulness, “Say … that child is Ross total?”

She was pregnant when she also knew, just disappeared before that car accident she also heard, did the child did not fall?

But if it was Kemp Ross’s, she should not be so down and out, right?

Even though the man is now engaged to someone else, he should not let his child be left out in the open.

Phoebe Barnes met her eyes from Rong’s and played dumb with a smile, “The baby is mine, I’ll show you how much it looks like me some day.”

“…”

…

Joyce Baker didn’t skimp, and really let her pick a lot of resources at will, but … since Kemp Ross hinted at it before, those crews just rejected it after hearing her name.

So … tossed half a day, she still didn’t get more than one, the whole thing was depressed.

A day later, going to Ning’s to shoot commercials, in Taylor Ning’s office to see a certain man drinking tea, her face was even more ugly, while her heart was also half cold.

She glared at him sarcastically, “You’re still a shady soul.”

The man raised his eyebrows, his temperament was cold, “I came to talk to Mr. Ning about a cooperation is also in your way?”

She laughed coldly through clenched teeth, “Can you be any more childish?”

He sat on the sofa, propped his head on one hand, a rare leisurely posture, lazily looking at her, “Did I not count on my words? I’m not pestering you, you’re the one who keeps popping up time and time again, who’s the one with the ghosts?”

“…”

Knowing that she couldn’t talk to him, Phoebe Barnes took a deep breath and looked away from him.

Taylor Ning happened to return from outside with his assistant, swept a glance at Kemp Ross before looking at her, eyes with a hint of apology, low to say: “Sorry, I also did not expect him to suddenly come over. If it is inconvenient … you can go back today and make an appointment for another day.”

For Kemp Ross’s sudden arrival, it’s not that he couldn’t guess what it meant, most of them are also hanging with him as a schoolmate, other people’s private affairs he wasn’t interested in participating, but no matter what aspect, he couldn’t possibly drive people away.

“No need.” Phoebe Barnes shook her head, gave the man a cold look and turned to him, “It’s nothing to do with you, I just came over to say hello, the work is not delayed, just let your assistant arrange it, you get busy.”

Taylor Ning glanced at Kemp Ross again and saw that he still had no intention to speak, before nodding and instructing her assistant to take her over.

Just as she turned to go out, the man’s cool voice rang out unhurriedly.

“Mr. Ning, I heard that you want to develop the “Blue Smoke City” project.”

Phoebe Barnes’ footsteps stopped and she turned her head to look at Kemp Ross warily.C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

What does he want?

When Taylor Ning heard the man’s words, a glimmer of light clearly swept through his deep eyes, looking sideways at him, and said in a light voice: “It’s ready, what does Ross mean?”

The man tilted his head a little, smiled very lightly, between his eyebrows through the stock of natural self-confidence and nobility, “Start-up capital, Ross Family out of half.”

“…”

Taylor Ning’s face remained calm, but the shock under his eyes could not be concealed in any way.

One half?

That project, he has been preparing for half a year, is because of the lack of funds has been delayed, he did not even ask directly to invest half.

There is no doubt that there is no reason to refuse.

But he knew it wouldn’t be that simple.

After glancing at the face of the woman next to him, he understood a few points and looked at the man with a faint smile, “Thank you Ross for your kindness, but this project is not ready yet, so there is no hurry for now.”

Phoebe Barnes tightened her eyebrows, such a large investment, is a shrewd businessman will be moved, she did not not see Taylor Ning just shocked, he will give up she is not surprised, but this will undoubtedly put her in a very awkward position.

Should she pretend to be invisible, or …
