Chapter 139
Alyssa nodded: “I know.”
She took a deep breath before answering the phone.
Karl’s first words were: “What happened?”
This sounded like she was saying that she would not call him if she was okay.
Alyssa thought about it, it was indeed the case.
She is fine and generally would not call Karl.
“Nothing.” After Alyssa finished speaking, she planned to change the subject and ask: “Are you busy at work?”
Karl was not that foolish. He didn’t believe Alyssa’s words: “Nothing, you call me?”
Alyssa asked back: “You mean I can’t call you if I have nothing to do?”
After a few seconds of silence on the other end of the phone, Karl said meaningfully, “Are you calling to check the post?”
Alyssa didn’t respond for a while: “What is the investigation?”
Karl: “Nothing, you can call me more if you are fine.”
“Puff…” Luther, who overheard the phone conversation between the two, couldn’t help laughing.
Alyssa turned her head and glared at Luther. Even though her eyes were not deterrent at all, Luther still made a zipper action on his mouth very cooperatively.
Karl heard Luther’s voice: “Are you with Luther?”
Alyssa panicked and said, “Yes, I got off work a bit early today, so I came over and planned to go back with Luther.”
“You’re off work early, so Luther can leave school early?”
I can’t seem to…
Luther glanced at Alyssa disgustingly, and leaned in front of the phone without changing his face, and lied: “Our last session is physical education, and it’s okay if we don’t attend.”
Fortunately, Karl didn’t ask any more, “I will let Smith pick you up home.”
“No, we’ll take a taxi from here.” When Alyssa reacted, she had already spoken.
Karl’s intention was clearly to ask Smith to pick her and Luther home, but she meant to go to AdamPic to find Karl.
Karl paused, and said in an unquestionable tone: “Let him pick you up.”
…
Smith drove over quickly.
He drove the car to the parking lot, swiped his card and took Alyssa and Luther into the president’s exclusive elevator.
Alyssa used to work outside in a small company, and there was no exclusive elevator of that kind. Because Hunt’s office building was built very early, there was no exclusive elevator either.
Alyssa felt quite fresh when taking this elevator for the first time.
“Sir, Sir, they are here.”
Smith took the two of them to the door of Karl’s office and left.
Alyssa pushed the door in, and saw Karl sitting behind the desk.
He was closing the papers in his hand and was about to stand up.
As soon as he raised his head and saw Alyssa, the corners of his mouth raised slightly invisible: “Here.”
“Yeah.” Alyssa replied a little awkwardly, and walked to the side of the sofa to sit down.
However, Luther was in his office with a strange look.
Karl walked behind Alyssa, put his hands on the back of the sofa, leaned over and looked at her face, and asked, “What would you like to drink?”
“Nothing to drink, do you work?”
Karl raised his hand and looked at his watch: “Alright.”
There was originally a meeting, if Alyssa was anxious to go back, he could push it.
At this time, the secretary knocked on the door: “President, I have sorted out the meeting materials at 4:30.”
Alyssa looked up at him: “Are you still in a meeting?”
When she looked up at him, the reflection in her eyes was all hers.
Karl’s voice couldn’t help but soften a bit: “It’s not very important.”
Alyssa also felt his voice with a different gentleness than usual. Her heart jumped twice and moved aside: “If you have anything to do, I’ll wait for you. “
Obviously shy.
But she said she was very good looking after waiting for him a while.
He want to k!ss her a bit.
Karl raised his head and looked in Luther’s direction. Luther happened to be holding a book and looked over here.
Karl raised his hand and motioned him to turn over.
Luther rolled his eyes and turned away reluctantly, pretending to continue studying the books on the shelf.
Alyssa couldn’t see Karl’s movements, and felt that he hadn’t left yet, so she couldn’t help but turn her head and urge him: “You go now.”
When the voice fell, Karl’s k!ss was suddenly suppressed.
The k!ss was too sudden, Alyssa could not escape.
After the k!ss, Karl pecked her lips again: “I will be back soon.”
Where could Alyssa want to pay attention to what he said, she turned her head and glanced in Luther’s direction, and found that Luther was still reading with his back to them, she was slightly relieved.
Luther heard the sound of closing the door and quietly glanced back, then put the book back in his hands with a guilty conscience, with a wonderful expression on face.
Damn it! Cousin actually has human feelings too! He will k!ss!
I should just take a picture to show mom!
His mother kept telling him that she was worried that his cousin would be lonely and could not find someone in this life!
…
Karl said that he would come back soon, really fast.
It only took ten minutes from when he went out to come back.
The three people took the elevator to the underground parking lot together.
Karl glanced at Luther, “Fighting with someone?”
Luther curled his lips: “Yes.”
Although he couldn’t let Karl know the reason for his fight, but with so many bandages on his face, it wouldn’t take Karl to see it for so long, right?
He finally realized what the phrase “has the opposite s3x and no humanity” means.
He was probably talking about someone like his cousin.
The expression on Karl’s face remained unchanged: “That’s why Alyssa went to your school?”
“Otherwise? They would want to call you…”
The last word stuck in his throat, and Luther didn’t say it, nor did he say it.
He shrank back into the elevator, trying to minimize his presence.
Why… I said it!
Alyssa gave Luther a cool look, and she lost the chain at the critical moment, and she couldn’t help him either!
Karl gave an unknown smile, and Luther shook and hid behind Alyssa.
Alyssa looked down at the toes of her shoes, pretending to know nothing.
When exiting the elevator, Karl walked in the front, Alyssa and Luther followed behind.
Alyssa felt that she and Luther were like two children who had made mistakes for fear of being scolded by their parents, and Karl was the parent.
She was taken aback by her own metaphor.
Alyssa turned around and silently pulled her arm back from Luther: “Luther, take care.”
“…”
When getting in the car, Alyssa still decided to help Luther, and took the initiative to sit in the back seat and sat with Karl.
However, she regretted sitting next to Karl for only three seconds.
Chapter 140
Because the shameless man grabbed her hand and touched her face as soon as he got into the car…
Smith and Luther were still sitting in front, where did she put her face?
When she waved the hand stretched out next to her for the Nth time, the shameless man gave a deep smile: “You are so behaved today, just want to touch it.”
Alyssa looked at him with a smile and said, “Am I a cat? You want to touch when I look good?”
“Of course not.” Karl squeezed her hand lightly before saying, “A touch is not enough.”
Alyssa twitched the corners of her mouth and turned to look at the two people sitting in front.
It was discovered that Smith and Luther were both sitting in distress, looking straight ahead.
But the shoulders of both of them were shaking -they were laughing!
Alyssa heating directly kicked Karl.
It’s not very painful.
But Karl also knew that she couldn’t make him anxious.
…
When the car stopped at the entrance of the villa, Alyssa was the first to jump out of the car, and walked into the villa as if a ghost was chasing behind her.
Luther followed closely behind.
But soon behind him a voice that seemed to him urging his life was heard: “Luther, go to the study and wait for me.”
Luther stopped and looked back at Karl with a pleasing smile: “Cousin, I will definitely not fight next time, I know I was wrong.”
“Yeah.” Karl replied noncommittal, but did not say that he could not go to the study.
Therefore, Luther finally went to the study.
He stayed in the office anxiously for a while before Karl came in.
“Let’s talk about it, why were you fighting?” Karl walked straight to the opposite side of Luther and sat down, his tone was very flat.
Karl usually looks cold, but people who are familiar with him can still easily feel his emotional changes.
“I just had a quarrel with my classmates and started a fight.” After Luther finished speaking, he said with a serious face: “Cousin, I really know that I was wrong. I will not fight with classmates casually in the future.
His pledge and confession did not stop Karl from asking: “I asked you why you were fighting.”
Karl fixedly looked at Luther, his dark eyes were so calm that no mood swings could be seen, but there was a hint of insight.
Meeting his eyes, Luther felt that he couldn’t hide anything from Karl.
However, he knew best that if Karl heard that kind of words, he would definitely be sad.
Luther stopped talking, and Karl didn’t help him either.
When Luther was a child, he lived with Karl for a long time. He was very troublesome since then, and Karl was often the one who cleaned up the mess for him.
However, he never took the initiative to admit his mistakes.
Today, not only did he take the initiative to admit his mistake, even Alyssa kept silent about it.
The woman Alyssa is a bit stubborn. In her opinion, children fighting such things should be very serious, so she won’t be silent about him.
The first phone call she made to him was probably to inform him that Luther was fighting at school.
But afterwards, she said nothing.
This is weird.
“Don’t you tell me?” Karl waited for a while and saw that he hadn’t spoken yet, so he said calmly, “Then I’ll call and ask your Headteacher.”
Luther looked up suddenly: “No!”
If Karl called to ask his Headteacher, the Headteacher would definitely say it, and it would be better for him to say this kind of thing if someone else said it.
Luther gritted his teeth and said, “They said that my aunt was…dead.”
In the middle two words, his voice was so small that he could hardly hear him.
He is still young, but he also knows a lot about the world.
When the voice fell, the room fell into a suffocating silence.
Luther clenched his hands, did not dare to speak, nor looked at Karl’s expression.
After a while, he heard Karl’s slightly dumb voice: “Go out.”
“Cousin…” Luther looked up at Karl’s expression at this time.
However, Karl had already stood up and walked towards the desk with his back facing him.
Luther glanced at him uneasy and turned around and went out.
Alyssa just changed her clothes and came out of the room, ready to go downstairs.
When passing by Karl’s study, she saw Luther coming out of it.
Alyssa hurriedly walked up: “Your cousin is looking for you?”
Luther nodded, hesitated and said, “I told him…”
Alyssa’s face was startled, and after a few seconds she said, “Then he…”
Luther shook his head.
Alyssa glanced at the tightly closed study door, then hesitated and knocked on the door and asked, “Karl, what do you want to eat tonight?”
The man inside did not answer her question.
Luther was a little worried and said, “My mother said that after my aunt had an accident, my cousin kept himself in the room for a long time without seeing anyone.”
Alyssa thought about another thing.
Karl’s reaction is very unusual. In other words, is what Earl said is true?
Although she didn’t know about it, she had also heard of Karl’s mother.
His mother was from a scholarly family, beautiful and talented, and she was compared to countless elite ladies in Rostenvel.
In the end, she married into the Adams’ family.
Was a woman who lives like a legend really insulted to death in the end?
Alyssa’s throat was a little dry, and she asked hardly, “What happened later?”
“Later?” Luther scratched his head and said embarrassedly: “My mother said it was because of me. I was just born at that time, and my cousin didn’t care about others, but he liked to make fun of me. There we spent more time together than with my parents.”
Alyssa had never thought that there was such a thing.
However, from the usual relationship between Luther and Karl, one can also feel that the two are very close.
When Karl was a deep-minded person, when he lied to her, he said that he was “Luther”, which was enough to show that to him, Luther was a very important person.
Alyssa glanced at the closed study door again, and instead of knocking on the door, she turned around and went downstairs to the kitchen.
Karl’s taste is a bit heavy, so Alyssa made some salty and spicy dishes specially.
After she was done, she went upstairs and knocked on the study door: “It’s time to eat.”
No one answered after waiting for a long time.
Just when Alyssa thought that Karl would not speak anymore, Karl’s hoarse and stern voice sounded inside: “Don’t bother me.”
Alyssa was slightly startled.
Whether it was “Luther” who was lukewarm to her at first, or Karl later, he had never spoken to her in this tone.
Karl was just in a bad mood, she didn’t mind.
Alyssa continued to ask with a good temper: “Then I will bring you food?”
