Chapter 65 You’re Not Alone
Then, Evan played chess with Mr. Old Smith for a while. Both of them were absent-minded. Before the first round, Mr. Old Smith asked Evan to leave.
At this time, Suzy was lying on the sofa and looking at the trending searches on the Internet. She had also sent out Starlight Pictures’ PR team to tear down ACLC.
Although it had been almost a day since the incident happened, it was still very noisy. ACLC’s flagship stores on the Internet had been removed. The distributors had also sued it in court.
Suzy smiled. Just as Evan had said, ACLC was really finished this time.
Next, it was Dreaming Pictures’ turn.
As she pondered, the door was opened. Evan, dressed in a black suit, walked in.
Suzy looked up from the sofa and paused. “You’re back so early?”
She thought Evan would talk about cooperation and would not be back until very late.
“Mm,” Evan replied and walked behind her. “Do you miss me?”
“No, I’m watching the show on Twitter!”
Suzy turned his head to the computer screen again.
A heartless woman. To think that he had been thinking about her all this while. Evan asked, “What do you plan to do with Dreaming Pictures?”
To be honest, Dreaming Pictures was more challenging to deal with than ACLC. Alex was the most brainless person in the Carters family, but Earl was different.
However, Suzy was no longer afraid.
She smiled mysteriously. “I won’t tell you.”
After going through all kinds of things, Evan knew that Suzy could deal with Dreaming Pictures, so he didn’t say anything more.
“Sleep?”
“Okay.”
After washing up, they hugged each other and fell asleep. In the dark and quiet room, Suzy seemed to have thought of something and asked softly, “Evan, how is your insomnia?”
Hearing that, Evan’s hands which were hugging her, stiffened slightly.
“You know?”
Suzy nodded. “Ervin unintentionally told me before.”
“I still can’t sleep without you.”
Evan’s reply made Suzy’s heart skip a beat.
Suzy really hoped that Evan would get better. If that was the case when she was not around him one day…
But in her heart, Suzy thought selfishly, hoping that Evan would always need her to fall asleep.
Suzy hugged him and didn’t say anything else.
After a while, Evan’s voice rang out again. “Suzy, have you ever considered looking for your biological parents?”
After talking with Mr. Old Smith today, Evan suddenly remembered that Suzy was not the biological daughter of the Carters family. Then where were her biological parents?
“No,” Suzy indifferently replied. She had indeed never thought about this matter.
In the past, she had always fantasized about being doted on by her parents, like Teresa. She had done everything she could to please her but in the end…
So what if she had parents? If they really loved her, she would not have appeared in an orphanage and been adopted.
Suzy’s mouth curled into a mocking smile. “I think I’m pretty good by myself.”
Evan seemed to have guessed what she was thinking. “Then not find them.”
He hugged her tightly and said, “You’re not alone. I’m here with you.”
Hearing that, Suzy laughed. “Evan, you’re really clingy now.”
Evan was speechless.
“Suzy.” His voice carried a hint of warning.Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
“Okay, Evan, you’re not alone now. You have me.”
The next day, they woke up, washed up, and had breakfast sent by the hotel waiter in the room. Suzy looked at the tall buildings outside the window. This was her first time coming to Noto City.
It was currently sunrise. The sky outside was gorgeous.
She looked up at Evan with interest and said, “I heard that the sea in Noto City is wonderful. Let’s drive around the island in the afternoon and return to Somo City tomorrow.”
Hearing Suzy’s words, Evan’s eyes paused slightly. Looking at the expectant look in Suzy’s eyes, he couldn’t bear to see her like this, but when he thought that this was the territory of the Smith family…
“The Hughes Group has an important meeting today. I can’t be absent.”
A trace of disappointment flashed across Suzy’s face.
Evan added, “I’ll bring you here next time.”
Hopefully, they could hold hands the next time and walk recklessly in the crowd.
Suzy snorted and smiled. “Who needs you to bring? I can go here myself when I have time. No, I’ll go with someone else. I won’t bring you.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Evan put down the cutlery in his hands and sized up Suzy. There was an obscure look in his eyes. He pursed his thin lips and asked, “Who do you want to bring?”
“I’ll bring anyone but not you.”
After Suzy giggled and finished speaking, she stood up and went to her room to pack her things.
Evan looked at her back and tutted. A faint smile appeared on his face.
After packing their things, the two left the hotel, took the private plane, and returned to Somo City.
It was already afternoon when they arrived in Somo City. After returning to the villa and putting the things away, they went to their companies separately.
When Suzy arrived company, she inquired about the situation of the three artists over the past few days. Starlight Pictures had been going well recently. Victor’s new song had always been on the list, and now he had made a lot of money for Suzy. Flora’s filming had also been very smooth, but when it came to Diana…
Nina paused for a moment before saying, “Diana has been asking her assistant to inquire about Mr. Hughes’s preferences the past few days. She has been secretly planning how to woo Evan. I heard Mrs. Lyons say that she has fantasized about being with Mr. Hughes all day.”
Nina knew that her boss had a special relationship with Mr. Hughes. Diana could choose anyone she liked, but Evan was impossible with her.
When Nina spoke up, Suzy’s expression froze, and she frowned lightly.
She suddenly had a headache. She had no right to stop Diana from pursuing Evan, but Suzy knew that Evan would not like Diana.
Suzy decided to find time to clarify things with Diana as soon as possible so she would not be hurt.
When it was almost time to get off work, Nina came looking for her again with a bouquet of delicate and bright roses.
“Miss Carters, an errand boy downstairs, sent it here. He said it was for you.”
Nina ran over and put the bouquet on the table. There was an envious smile in her eyes. “This card isn’t anonymous; could it be a gift from Mr. Hughes…”
When she heard this, Suzy’s face blushed slightly as she carefully sized up the bouquet.
She thought to herself… “No way? The great Mr. Hughes would actually send flowers? This man is romantic by nature.”
Indeed, that was not the case.
Suzy overthought because the next second, she received news from Victor.
“Miss Carters, congratulations on becoming the champion of the Poris Competition.”
Something else that gave Suzy a headache came.
She naturally understood that the person who delivered the flowers was not Evan, but Victor…
Suzy looked at the text message on her phone and sighed. After a while, she picked up her phone and dialed Victor’s number.
