Chapter 153
Her feet hurt so badly that Alyssa limped while walking.
She could feel the sharp gaze behind her, she bit her lip, and entered the elevator without stopping.
When she pressed the close button, she did not see Karl catching up.
Her heartfelt a little cold, and her complexion turned pale.
The elevator slowly descended, and Alyssa felt that her heart was also falling.
…
After getting out of the elevator, she saw Luther.
Luther saw Alyssa walking out barefoot with red-eye frames, and looked surprised, walked over to support her, and whispered, “Sister Alyssa.”
“Why are you here?” Alyssa’s feet hurt so badly that her crippled foot couldn’t touch the ground at all, she could only rely on Luther to support her.
Luther glanced at her secretly, and then said vaguely: “My brother…he…he didn’t mean it…”
“Yeah,” Alyssa replied, carelessly.
Now, it doesn’t matter to her whether Gerald intentionally.
What matters is Karl’s attitude.
It was him who asked her to come to the dinner, and it was he who suddenly ran over to get angry.
Even if Gerald shook her hand, let alone whether he was intentional or unintentional, could this be the reason why Karl was so angry and angry that he didn’t care about her feelings?
Luther keenly felt that Alyssa’s current mood was very bad, and he stopped talking, just carefully supporting her.
When Karl came later, Luther was the first to see him, and then he saw Luther pulling Alyssa out. The two seemed to quarrel, and then Alyssa entered the elevator.
After Alyssa entered the elevator, Karl was still standing there. Luther looked anxious, but he also felt that Karl was not easy to provoke at that time, so he retreated and went down from the elevator on the other side to wait for him to warm.
Luther was thinking about the matter, and suddenly heard Alyssa next to him quietly asking him: “Who is Lisa?”
“Who are you talking about?” Luther turned his head fiercely, a flash of shock in his eyes.
Alyssa let go of his hand, fixedly looking at Luther, and repeated: “Lisa.”
In the banquet hall before, she heard Gerald call this name.
When Luther heard the name, a trace of sadness appeared on his immature face: “How do you know her?”
Although Luther is now in a period of voice change, and his voice is a bit rough, Alyssa can still hear the hoarseness in his voice.
This is enough to explain a lot of problems.
Gerald knew “Lisa” and had a good relationship with her, and Luther also knew her and had a good relationship.
Perhaps Karl also knew “Lisa”.
Alyssa suddenly remembered the last time when she went to Gerald’s house to talk about endorsements, Gerald looked at her as if looking at another person through her.
“Do I look like her?”
After Alyssa finished speaking, she realized that she had already said what she thought of.
Luther nodded subconsciously, and then suddenly shook his head: “No…”
“Be honest.” Alyssa increased her tone.
Luther lowered his head and whispered, “Like.”
“Well, I see.” Alyssa let go of his hand: “I will go back first.”
Looking at the reactions of Gerald and Luther, Alyssa knew that “Lisa” was a very important person to them.
In this way, she would feel that Gerald’s kindness to her and Luther’s closeness to her seemed like she had stolen something from someone else.
It’s all like she stole it.
Gerald is a young Superstar, even if he is not an actor, his family background is not high enough for ordinary people, but he is so gentle and close to her.
Luther is the youngest, good-looking, smart, and temperamental. He is also a favored boy in Adams’ family. How could he be so close to her?
But because she looks like that “Lisa”.
What about Karl?
Alyssa had an inexplicable premonition, she felt that Karl also knew the woman named “Lisa”.
Was it because she and “Lisa” looked similar, so he was so interested in her from the beginning?
Alyssa laughed at herself and looked back at Luther who was following her not too far away: “Don’t follow me.”
Alyssa stood at the door of the hotel with a cold face, her face was white, and her whole body showed a bit of abruptness, not at all like Alyssa who always smiled at him.
Luther felt a little uncomfortable, wanted to say something, but didn’t know what to say, and was afraid that he would say something wrong.
Finally, he asked tentatively: “Then you will go back to your cousin, right?”
He has been with Alyssa for so long, and he knows a little about Alyssa’s temper.
Alyssa looked at him cautiously, even the small curly hair that usually looked very foreign, at this time, looked wrong.
“do not know.”
At this time, a hotel waiter brought shoes for Alyssa.
Alyssa thanked him, put it on and went out.
She did nothing wrong and didn’t need to torture herself.
She even regretted that the strength of smashing Karl with the shoes was too weak, and it would definitely not hurt at all to hit him.
She regrets it.
In the deep winter weather, Alyssa stopped outside and her whole body was shivering with cold.
However, there were no taxis at the entrance of this seven-star hotel, and Alyssa had to limp to continue walking.
When she finally got to the car, the phone rang suddenly.
Her heart jumped abruptly, bit her lip a little nervously, and when she picked it up, she realized that it wasn’t Karl’s call, it was Tina.
Alyssa couldn’t tell how she felt in her heart, as if she was relieved, and she seemed to sink.
She answered the phone: “Tina.”
The calm voice was still as energetic as ever.
“Did you go to Adams’ dinner tonight? I saw your picture in a WeChat group! It’s just overwhelming the audience!”
Alyssa smiled, her voice lacking vitality: “No, there are many beautiful women at the party.”
“How can they be compared to you!” Tina finished speaking, and realized that Alyssa was a little bit wrong: “What’s wrong with you? Your voice doesn’t sound like much strength. Did something happen at the banquet?”
Alyssa did not answer, but instead asked her: “Are you at home?”
Tina replied: “Yeah.”
“Then I’ll come to find you.” Alyssa hung up after speaking and reported Tina’s address to the driver.
When the driver heard this address, he asked Alyssa: “Your friend is a celebrity?”
Tina lives in a high-end residential area, where many celebrities live, which is not a secret in Rostenvel.
Alyssa nodded: “Yeah.”
When getting of the car, the taxi driver handed his jacket to Alyssa: “It’s strange to wear such a skirt in winter. You can wait for a friend to pick you up and wait a while. Put your clothes on, don’t freeze. You might have a cold.”
Chapter 154
Alyssa looked at the gray cotton-padded coat in the driver’s hand, and tears burst into her eyes.
She couldn’t tell why, but she suddenly felt sad.
The driver is an uncle, and when he saw Alyssa crying, he scratched his head anxiously: “Don’t cry, others will take it another way!”
Alyssa burst into laughter: “Thank you, I’m not afraid of the cold. You have to drive late, right? My physique is so cold that it will be fine for a while.
She is really not cold now, and her heart is warm.
The uncle driver thought that Alyssa thought his coat was not good-looking, so he didn’t say much.
Alyssa got out of the car, and only after watching the taxi go far, did she take out her mobile phone to call Tina.
Only after the call was made, she heard a familiar ringtone ringing nearby.
Then, she heard a cool voice not far away: “Hey, are you there yet?”
Alyssa hung up the phone and waved to Tina, “I am here.”
Tina ran over, wrapped like a rice dumpling, with a coat in her hand.
“f*ck, beautiful Frozen, this temperature is almost ten degrees below zero, so you came from the banquet in this way?” Although Tina said that, the movement of her hands is not at all. Unambiguously, she directly put on the coat in her hands to help Alyssa.
Alyssa sniffed: “Yes, everyone is watching me along the way, and I feel like I’m amazing.”
…
The two returned to the Tina’s home together.
She doesn’t spend much time at home, so the house is a little messy.
The heating in the room was sufficient, and she poured a cup of hot water as soon as the door was cold.
Before Tina at the gate of the community, she didn’t pay attention to it. Now the light in the room is bright, and Tina found that Alyssa’s eyes were red.
Tina frowned and sat down beside her: “What’s the matter with you?”
“Ah? It’s okay. When I got off the bus before, the uncle driver saw me wearing this kind of clothes and he wanted to give me his jacket. I was so touched.”
Seeing that she didn’t seem to be joking, Tina nodded, “Of course there are still many nice people in this world.”
After she finished speaking, she felt as if she thought of something, and said with feeling: “A stranger’s small actions can make people particularly moving, and the small mistakes of the people around them will be infinitely magnified, no matter what they are right before. How nice you are, it’s useless.”
Alyssa asked, “Are you talking about Peter?”
“Who is talking about that smelly man?” Tina sneered, “Heh, man!”
Alyssa leaned back gently, without speaking.
“If you’re not happy, just have a drink. It’s been a long time since the two of us have a drink together.” Tina said, and went to get the wine.
Alyssa: “…”
They went to the bar for a drink last time…
…
Tina loves to drink, but that doesn’t mean she is drinking too much.
Drink it when it’s time to drink, never drink it when she works, and don’t drink it if she’s not close to her.
Alyssa learned to drink while being pulled by Tina.
After drinking half a bottle of red wine, the two were already a little drunk.
Leaning on her head, she fell on the sofa to talk.
“I think Peter is a b!tch!”
“Well, so is Karl.”
“Peter has scandals constantly, and he said he is innocent and he is blind as an old lady!”
“Well, Karl… doesn’t seem to be.”
“Peter…”
The phone’s ringtone interrupted Tina’s words.
She squinted at the caller ID, a string of strange numbers.
Tina answered the phone: “Why? Sell insurance? I don’t buy it!”
A low male voice rang on the other end of the phone: “I am Karl.”
Karl?
Tina was full of excitement, and most of her drunkenness disappeared.
As she was about to speak, Karl on the other end of the phone said, “Don’t say anything, I will ask you to answer. Say yes or no.”
Tina subconsciously responded, “Oh.”
Then she was a little confused, why did she listen to Karl’s words.
As if he knew what she was thinking, Karl said faintly, “Peter wants to be your agent.”
Tina exploded at once: “He is dreaming!”
“Ok.”
Only then did Tina remember that Karl was her boss!
“Where is Alyssa?”
Tina glanced at Alyssa, who was drinking, and said, “Yes.”
“She took a taxi by herself?”
“Otherwise, you sent her here?” Speaking of this, she was a little angry.
Alyssa has already told Tina about the banquet and her guess. Tina has a straightforward temperament, and now listening to Karl’s question, she wants to frustrate him.
As if he hadn’t heard the bad tone in her tone, Karl said directly: “Don’t let her drink, let her go to bed early.”
“Haha, I have already drunk half a bottle, I still have a cabinet of wine!”
Alyssa squinted and leaned over: “Who are you calling?”
She feels very good, and there are no outsiders, Alyssa is quite free.
She leaned against Tina and said, “I remember, although Karl has no scandal, there is white moonlight in his heart! He, man!”
There was deathly silence on the other side of the phone.
Tina shuddered, and quickly reached out and pushed Alyssa to the other side: “Stop talking.”
Alyssa could speak energetically, and continued to move towards her: “I tell you, it is really not easy for a man like Karl to marry a wife. It’s like an untimely bomb, than a woman’s menop@use It’s scary…”
Tina quietly lighted a piece of wax for Alyssa in her heart. Just about to hang up, she heard Karl’s low voice ringing quietly: “Don’t hang up, let her continue.”
Tina: “…”
On one side is the big boss who can kill her with a finger, and on the other side is the good sister who has fought over the wall together with her. What will she do?
Finally, before Tina had figured out where to stand, Karl came to the door.
Tina stood at the door with the expression on her face like seeing a ghost: “Boss, when did you come?”
Karl did not speak, but looked over her and looked inside.
Tina stepped aside, and Karl’s eyes widened, just in time to see Alyssa, who was wearing loose house clothes, curled up on the sofa, drinking with a wine glass.
His complexion darkened.
Tina swallowed nervously, intending to excuse herself.
As a result, Karl seemed to have forgotten what he said before that Alyssa should not drink, but instead bowed his head and asked her, “Should I take off my shoes?”
Tina nodded in surprise: “I want to…”
Hearing this, Karl bent over and took off his shoes, and walked in towards Alyssa.
Tina looked at the high-end custom-made leather shoes at the door, blinking her eyes blankly.
The big boss came into her house and even asked if she wanted him to take off his shoes!
In this way, it seems that he is not so hateful!
Being so polite is not overbearing at all! But Tina felt that she was going to become a fan!
