Clarissa picked up the phone and passed it to Colin. “I’m sure you know what to say, right?” Colin glared at Clarissa. He was forced to obey her. The call was from Naomi. “Colin, why aren’t you back yet? Was there trouble in purchasing raw materials?”
Colin clenched his phone tightly and stuttered sheepishly. “N-NO. Everything’s fine! I only have a tummy ache. I’ll be back soon.”
“Okay, be safe on the road.”
Collin hummed and hung up immediately. He was afraid that he might accidentally let it slip. “You’ve done well. Mr. Lane. These raw materials must go to Green Corp’s factory. It’s been a pleasure working with you!” Clarissa smiled sinisterly. She even reached her hand out to Colin. “B*tch! Even if you win this time, Naomi will surely overcome this!” Colin coldly slapped her hand away. “Overcome?”
Clarissa squinted her eyes dangerously. She held her phone behind her back. The screen showed a message from someone. “Do you think I only have one plan? I’ve prepared multiple surprises for her!”
On the other end of the line, Naomi heard the disconnecting tone. She furrowed her brows and pouted.
“Why does Colin sound off?”
“Miss Green, we’ve arrived.” Janell stopped the car by Hough Mansion’s entrance and turned around. She disrupted Naomi’s train of thought when she spoke. “Okay, Janell. Go get some rest too.” At that moment, it was already ten at night. Naomi quickly got out of the car and headed for the bathroom.
She had an extremely exhausting day. She wanted to go to bed as soon as possible. She did not expect that after the shower, she was, on the contrary, even more perked up. She sat on the big empty bed. She
glanced at the roses in the vases on the table. It was given to her by Stinky Daddy at the Shrimp Market. However, the petals were wilting and falling off.
Naomi lowered her gaze. She was inexplicably upset.
Jack had not even sent a single message or spoken to her for the entire day. Upon closer thought, although they slept on the same bed, she had never truly gotten involved in his life.
Every time, he would suddenly disappear and return without offering her an explanation. “Perhaps, I was always an outsider to him.” Naomi smiled bitterly. She threw the towel on her shoulder at the vase, covering the wilted roses.
“Let’s not care about him anymore! Once the contract is over, I’ll go look for young hunks!” Naomi leaned back in bed and thumped her chest, consoling herself. Suddenly, her phone by the side of the bed rang. It was the personalized ringtone she set for Jack Naomi sat up immediately and pounced on her phone by the side. She quickly picked it up. What about not caring about him?
Slap! It was the sound of hypocrisy slapping her on the face. Naomi grabbed her phone and looked at who called her. Robin Crawford.
What?
Naomi’s rising smile subconsciously sank. She had forgotten that to ease herself for taking care of Robin, she set a personalized ringtone for him too. She accidentally set the same ringtone as the one she had for Jack.
It turned out not to be Jack.
Naomi pursed her lips and immediately answered the call. “Hello, Robin? Why are you calling me so late? Are you feeling unwell? Do you need me to come over?” At the thought of Robin calling so late at
night, Naomi was worried.NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.
