Chapter 268 What’s the smell?
Starry looked at Jackie who was walking away, couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow and inclined his head to look at the man beside him, “How did you know she was here too?”
Filip hit the steering wheel and hummed softly when he heard her say that, “Hmm? Did you say Jackie?”
“Or what?”
Starry hooked his lips and looked at him with a smirk.
The car pulled out of the parking space and Filip gave her a look, “I didn’t know she was going to be here tonight.”
It’s true, he didn’t say anything when he asked Mr. Robertson to book a place, but he asked him to help book a private room in a seafood restaurant.
Filip is not so much talking, and besides, it’s not a bad thing.
“That’s really coincidental.”
Starry looked out of the car window, did not expect this Araria City is so big, this can let her meet.
Just thinking about this matter, Starry’s cell phone rang.
She glanced at the number, which was somewhat familiar, but there was no note.
Starry answered the phone, “Hello?”
“Hi Ms. Bradley, I’m Lyla.”
“Miss Jackie.”
“Ms. Bradley, I have educated Jackie, I will restrain her next, if she makes any more small moves against you, please contact me.”
Starry still has a good impression of Lyla, and she trusts Lyla to discipline Jackie: “Thanks.”
“You’re welcome, it was Jackie who was supposed to give you trouble. I’ll leave you to it, have a good night.”Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
“Okay, thanks, and have a good night too.”
Hanging up the phone, Starry looked at Filip at his side and volunteered, “It’s Lyla’s phone.”
“She’s moving pretty fast.”
Starry smiled a little: “Lyla is still quite nice as a person.”
She didn’t have much contact with Lyla; the only time she did was her sophomore year when Jackie kicked her chair in class, reported the teacher, and both she and Jackie were subsequently asked to go to the office.
Jackie falsely accused her inside the office of first deliberately blocking her view of the blackboard, and the teacher had a headache hearing it and finally invited both parents.
Starry’s grandmother came over, afraid she would be bullied, and stood in front of her the whole time.
Lyla came in a little late, wearing a suit and skirt, carrying a black Chanel in her hand, and as soon as she came in, she first looked at Jackie and then asked the teacher what had happened.
Jackie just cried, and whenever the teacher said something about her being a demon, she cried and said that she had framed her.
Lyla let Jackie out straight away and told her to say what was going on.
When she finished, the class teacher let her and her grandmother go home.
I don’t know what happened after that, but Jackie was afraid to make a fool of her in class.
But instead of getting into trouble in class, she used to get the mob of students from the nearby vocational school to stop her after school.
It was more than ten years ago, and Starry now remembers when Lyla personally told her she was sorry.
So when Jackie repeatedly made her demons, her first thought was Lyla.
As it turns out, Lyla did not disappoint.
But Lyla should also be glad that she was the one who contacted her and not Filip.
Starry did guess right. After Lyla hung up the phone, she thought about it and decided she couldn’t expect Jackie to come to her senses.
She called her secretary straight away and asked her to stop all of Jackie’s cards.
She then sent Jackie another text message telling her that she basically stopped all the cards she had on hand for her and that if she needed money, she should go home and ask for it.
Jackie was driving and did not see the text message from Lyla at first until she got home.
She had been slapped by Lyla today and ran into Starry on her way out, and was already angry.
Now also receiving a message from Lyla to stop her card, Jackie was so angry that she shuddered, picked up something on her desk and slammed it.
The car drove slowly into the villa and Starry looked at the time.
8:30.
It’s still early.
The car stopped, Starry unbuckled his seat belt and thought of Filip saying about the business trip: “When exactly are you going on a business trip?”
“Next Tuesday.”
Today is already Thursday, next Tuesday, and there are not many days left.
Starry nodded, “Where to?”
“Haymarket.”
“How many days?”
Starry walked over to the small bar, poured two glasses of water, and handed one to Filip.
They left the floor-to-ceiling windows open when they went out, and the wind exchanged on both sides of the night, blowing through the cool.
Starry drank a small glass of water, remembered that he had not taken his medicine, went to the coffee table and picked up the box of pills, poured out this evening’s medicine, put it in his mouth, tilted his head directly on the water and swallowed it.
Filip looked at her skilled movements and remembered that in the past years, she also took her medicine in such a tiresome manner, and only felt heartbroken: “How long did the doctor say you had to take this medicine?”
Starry held her chin, raised her eyes slightly to look at him, and thought, “At the very least, it will take another month.”
“Is it hard to eat?”
“Not too bad.”
But the number of times you eat, you can’t help but feel as if your mouth is full of the taste of medicine.
Filip walked up behind her and crossed his hands from the back waist up to hug her, “Can I taste it?”
Starry tilted his head sideways and looked at him, “Medicine should not be taken indiscriminately.”
It was specifically these medications that she took.
“I don’t eat indiscriminately.”
The low male voice just fell, Starry felt a slight warmth on her chin, and the next second, her red lips were taken in.
She grunted softly, opening her mouth slightly just enough to give Filip the opportunity.
He poked in and tasted a little.
The night breeze was originally cool, but from whence it began, it gradually became hot and dry.
Starry’s grip on the cup subconsciously tightened, and half a dozen times, she was spun around directly behind her by the man holding her.
She gasped slightly, looked down at the eyes that took advantage of the blackness, and raised her hand to scratch at those thin lips, “What flavor?”
“Sweet.”
Filip looked into those almond eyes and could clearly see himself reflected in them.
This feeling gave him an indescribable satisfaction, he picked up Starry: “It’s late, take a bath and rest.”
Starry grunted, “It’s not even nine o’clock, isn’t it still early?”
“The shower might take a while.”
Hearing him say this, she laughed outright.
Inside the quiet villa was Starry’s shallow laughter.
Filip looked at the bright smile on her face, directly lifted his leg and kicked open the door, carrying the person directly into the bathroom.
The water from the shower was cold at first, and Starry was placed on that sink with her thighs under her skirt sitting on top of that marble, and the cold touch kept her very awake.
Filip reached out and probed the water temperature and found it warmed up, he looked to Starry: “There.”
With that, he picked her up again and together they walked into the warm curtain of water.
