chapter 67 – She is not my sister
She knew something about Genny Ross’s nature, she definitely would not just say a word or two so simple, Ann Shi and not stupid will not notice anything?
The more she thought about it, the more vain she was, and the more she didn’t dare to raise her eyes to look at him.
“Trouble … is not.” Ann Shi gaze slowly fell on her face, the tone of voice is still warm and light, but the hesitation in his voice can still be heard at once, “If you do not say she is your friend, I will think she is your sister …”
Those half-joking words made Phoebe Barnes’ inner hidden secret feel like a steep poke, her ears burning with shame, but her face a little white and her tongue in an involuntary knot, shaking her head, “No, she’s not my sister.”
Ann Shi seemed not to notice her strange, hooked lips a smile, slowly and leisurely explained: “I just see that she is younger than you, moreover, the nature is completely different from you, some strange just.”
Phoebe Barnes lowered her eyes and smiled dryly, “Her nature is a little different from mine, maybe she is just too young and more playful.”
Ann Shi face nothing fluctuates, just looking at her gaze more than a trace of what, “can see, is quite lively, you do not ask me what she has told me?”
Phoebe Barnes was stunned, her heart sank, her expression changed slightly, and she looked at him and opened her mouth, unable to say anything for a moment.
What did Genny Ross really say to him?
Ann Shi was about to say something when she was suddenly interrupted by the phone vibrating on her person.
He took out his cell phone and didn’t go out, he looked at it and answered it.
“Hey!”
“…”
“I’m not available right now.” Ann Shi’s faint voice had little rise and fall, just a glance up at Phoebe Barnes.
“…”Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
I don’t know what was said over there, his eyebrows suddenly furrowed and his tone was a bit more clear, “You guys talk business and I go to the sidelines, right?”
“…”
Ann Shi listened to the voice on the other side of the phone, slowly lowered his eyes, seems to be hesitating, half a long time, opened his lips light voice: “Okay, I know, wait a moment to.”
When he said that, he hung up the phone and raised his eyes to look at the woman across the table.
Phoebe Barnes, still anxiously speculating about what Genny Ross might have told him, said cautiously, “Seniors, if you have something to do, go ahead and get busy.”
“Yes there is a little something.” He said standing up and looking intently at her small face with a warm smile, “But you’re coming with me, right across the street in the restaurant.”
Across the street at … restaurant?
Phoebe Barnes was stunned for a moment, thinking she had hallucinated, and her face changed even more, stuttering as she asked, “You, you said … said to go across the street? The one who just called can’t be …”
Ann Shi suddenly raised an eyebrow, looked at her playfully and smiled, “It seems you know.”
Phoebe Barnes shook her head a little and forced herself to look flustered, “Did Lu less … say anything to you?”
Ann Shi, as if she did not notice any difference, still smiling warmly, “did not say anything, just that he had dinner with some friends, happened to see me here from outside, let me go over to say hello.”
Phoebe Barnes barely managed to squeeze out a smile Rong, shaking her head, “Then you go over on the line … I don’t have to go over, right?”
The face smiles, but the heart is already furious, John Lu that bastard is obviously deliberately picking on her, he is not suspecting that she has a relationship with Kemp Ross?
She followed Ann Shi over there. How could she end up in such an awkward situation?
Ann Shi shrugged helplessly, “Sorry, he seemed to recognize you too just now and asked me to take you there.”
Phoebe Barnes still insisted, the smile on her face Rong all but faded, “Can I not go?”
Ann Shi pursed her lips and thought about it, saying, “Although I can help you explain, but he is your boss, if you stand him up, it is ultimately bad for your future, not to mention your current situation is still so difficult.”
Phoebe Barnes pursed her lips together and didn’t say anything.
She wasn’t afraid of John Lu, she was just afraid of seeing Kemp Ross that way.
Ann Shi keenly noticed the change in her mood, looked at her and comforted, “You don’t need to be nervous, he won’t do anything to you with me around, let’s go, meet your own boss, it’s good for you.”
Phoebe Barnes would love to say that she really doesn’t want to see it at all.
After thinking long and hard in her mind, she agreed to go with him.
Because she understood that John Lu was determined to test her relationship with Kemp Ross, if she did not go, he must have the next move, otherwise he would not have called her, and then called Ann Shi, the bastard did not have any good intentions.
Across the restaurant, the two went up to the second floor with the waiter.
The first floor is full of customers, the second floor except for the window table, all other positions are unoccupied, it is obvious that the whole place was packed.
Once the handsome man and beautiful woman arrived, three people, three pairs of eyes looked over in unison.
Two pairs of eyes playful, one indifferent and cold.
But the moment they saw Phoebe Barnes and Ann Shi appear together, Kemp Ross and Wind Rong were still slightly surprised.
Ann Shi saw Kemp Ross and Wind Rong and frowned gently, apparently recognizing the two as well.
It’s true that we know each other, but we’ve never crossed paths.
He swept a glance at John Lu, his tone flat, “Don’t you think it’s redundant for me to come over here?”
John Lu lazily leaned back in his chair, with a smile, said meaningfully: “Indeed, it is quite redundant, but the masculine flavor here is too heavy need a beautiful woman to neutralize, if you want to stay, sit, do not want to stay now you can get out.”
Ann Shi has always been gentle and elegant face appeared a trace of dark sinking, but the tone of voice is still calm and bland, “There are three here, the beauty of a how enough? Do you want me to call two more up for you?”
John Lu held the glass of wine in his hand and smiled playfully, “Looking around, can we find a second one as beautiful as her here?”
At the end, he also looked at Kemp Ross, who had not shown much, and said with a leisurely smile: “You think so, Ross.”
Phoebe Barnes whole body stiffened, lowered her eyebrows and eyes, even dare not breathe out, and her face became a bit oligarchic.
Kemp Ross is looking down and sipping the wine in the glass, the eyebrows have not moved a bit, the color of the eyes under the eyes is very light, light almost no, a deep indifference, heard the words also just ruffled thin lips, cold spit out a sentence, “Lu less should go to hang an eye to see the eyes.”
Phoebe Barnes, “…”
John Lu, “…”
Ann Shi did not look different, turned her eyes to look at her and gently said, “Don’t be nervous, go over and sit down.”
John Lu looked at the approaching Phoebe Barnes and smiled as if he had returned to his senses, continuing the conversation he had just had: “It is said that in the eyes of a lover there is a beautiful woman, and in the eyes of Ross there is probably a more beautiful one.”
Kemp Ross eyebrows do not move, do not speak, maintain the unhurried pace, making it difficult to peek.
Wind Rong lips with a smile, always silent, but under the eyes is a look at the good show.
