"Then I won't disturb you any further."
After saying this, Elijah embraced Carolien and walked inside. Carolien did not believe it, leaving the group of people behind dumbfounded.
Back in the office, Carolien's eyes were still fixed on Elijah. It was as if she was dreaming. Was his reaction just now because of Theo?
Elijah took off his suit jacket and saw that someone was still in a daze with big eyes. He couldn't help but faintly twitch his lips and said, "What are you doing? Don't you have a glass of water?"
After sitting on the sofa, he directly loosened his tie and leaned on the sofa lazily like he was at home.
"Oh!"
After suddenly recovering her senses, Carolien went to get coffee. She turned on the coffee machine and remembered something. Then, she turned on the water dispenser and made him a cup of soothing tea.
"Stop drinking coffee! It's white tea. It's to detox your liver and relieve your fatigue."
He took a few sips. The faint aroma of the tea was very fragrant. Although he had only drank a little, he felt as if his whole body was free and comfortable. He blew gently and drank up a cup of hot tea.
She refilled his cup. Her endless words on her lips were twirled a few times before she finally spoke softly, "Elijah..."
"Yes?"
Initially, she wanted to ask him about that woman, but in the end, she chose not to ask. She smiled faintly and said, "I'm very happy today!"
Elijah raised his hand and patted his thigh. He moved and Carolien sat up, hooking his neck. The smile in the bottom of her eyes deepened.
He gently pinched her small chin, and the corners of Elijah's lips rose a little. "Because I saw Theo?"
Carolien rolled her eyes and poked his chest. "Wouldn't Mr. Luther, who is so smart, blush when he understands others' meaning?"
Why was it that he didn't know she was happy?
"Haha..." When he saw that she had just wanted to speak but was hesitant to speak, Elijah had actually guessed something. His eyes suddenly turned a little more serious. "Is it wrong?"
"What's wrong with this petty-minded guy again?"
Carolien blinked and thought for a while. "Well, it's not! It's serious!"
He was trying to twist the facts indiscriminately!
The light in Elijah's eyes dimmed, and he couldn't help but laugh, "Little ghost!"
It must be Theo's wishful thinking. Raising his hand, he pinched her chin lovingly and said in a good mood, "Kim Mi-chi is the one who wanted to sign the contract, but it's not easy to sign!"
As for the fact that she looked like Gracie, and there were various reasons involved in it, he chose to ignore it. Now, Kim Mi-chi still had some special existence for him, but she was no longer the person he planned to live with in the future.
There was still a huge difference between the two, at least for Elijah.
With two sentences, he revealed two meanings and explained the reason for the contrast of attitude. On the other hand, he also implied his attitude later.
"Mr. Luther, do you mean... that now I am the one you want to sign?" Carolien sat down on him again with a smile on her face.
"You are a smart little fox. How can you not understand me?"
With her slender waist hooked up tightly, he really loved her wild posture. Indeed, if marriage was also a contract, she was right!
However, love and marriage were still different. He was glad that it was not her first time when they were together. But when he had to consider it, he suddenly began to care about it.
With regards to his thoughts that disappeared in a flash and retreated by a thousand years, Elijah also looked down on himself. He changed the topic and said, "If you don't understand, then should I think about finding someone smarter and more..."
...
Throughout the whole process, Kim Mi-chi didn't even have a chance to speak. The sound of the phone hanging up came. She pulled the corner of her mouth and a hint of sadness flashed through her eyes.
She had been working hard!
Every day, she had to endure all sorts of pain and suffering, all sorts of trials and tribulations. Despite enduring the entire pressure, she still worked hard to make money, but throughout the entire process, she hadn't even received a single word of concern?
Heh heh...
She turned on her cell phone and heard a beeping text message. When she opened it, she saw a payment message from a bank. One million?
Was it her funds for this activity?
She smirked at herself. Then she picked up the phone and dialed a phone number.
"Miss Jones? I'm Kim Mi-chi. Do you have time? I want to talk to you! There are some very important things that I'm sure you will want to know and never regret! At four o'clock in the afternoon, can you go to the Sang Mo Restaurant in the Casterwich City Building?"
After hanging up, Carolien was still puzzled for a while. Why did she suddenly think of looking for her?
Since nothing had happened and that it had something to do with Elijah, plus she was in the vicinity, Carolien did not reject. After hanging up, she continued shopping and picked up a lot of books and supplies for Alistair.
It was nearly four o'clock when she arrived at the restaurant. As soon as she entered the door, she saw the seat she had arranged. The word "reserved" was very eye-catching. The restaurant was very upscale, and the seats were also close to the door and the window. Carolien was initially a little worried, but now she was relieved.
"A cup of Cappuccino."
After ordering the meal and arranging the things on the table, she looked up and saw two familiar figures not far away outside the window.
