Chapter 697
Alyssa quickened her pace and hurried out.
As she hurriedly walked out with her head down, she did not notice that someone was also going out on the other side. In this way, she collided with another person who was going out.
Alyssa said, “I’m sorry.”
“Alyssa?”
Alyssa heard this voice, stopped abruptly, looked back, and found that it was Clifford.
It’s really lingering.
Seeing her looking back at him, Clifford smiled at her and asked, “Came here to eat?”
Alyssa looked at Clifford, who just came out of the restaurant.
“All are here to eat, don’t you know?” Since Clifford was in the restaurant just now, Clifford must know what she did in the restaurant just now.
Clifford must have seen her sitting opposite Karl and Miana.
Alyssa said that, and Clifford no longer pretended to meet by chance.
He walked up to Alyssa and said with a smile: “Yes, I have seen it all. Do you believe me now? You and Karl are simply inappropriate.”
Alyssa was in a bad mood, and Clifford didn’t say this once or twice.
She snorted coldly: “It’s your a$s.”
Just strode towards the parking spot.
Clifford stood there watching Alyssa drive away, and lit a cigarette with interest. The smile on his face remained undiminished and he didn’t know what he was thinking.
He stood at the door, finished smoking the cigarette, then turned around and returned to the restaurant.
Clifford looked at the positions of Karl and Miana, curled his lips slightly, threw the cigarette butt into the trash can beside him, and walked towards Karl leisurely.
The plates in front of Miana and Karl had been removed, and coffee was placed in front of them.
Miana kept talking, Karl held his head and looked out the window, as if he was listening attentively, but also as if he was absent-minded.
Clifford walked over, stood at the table and smiled and asked, “Do you mind if I sit down?”
Karl ignored him, but Miana asked with an unhappy expression, “Who are you?”
She finally had a chance to have time with Karl, so why would someone always bother them!
Clifford sat down, glanced back and forth between the two people, and then deepened his smile: “Of course I am Mr. Adams’ friend.”
Miana heard this and turned to look at Karl.
But Karl was still looking out the window, not knowing what he was looking at.
Miana whispered: “Karl.”
Only then did Karl turned his head, he glanced at Clifford with a cold expression, and said nothing.
He just looked down at the watch on his wrist and stood up and said to Miana, “It’s late, let’s go.”
Seeing that Karl ignored Clifford, Miana stood up and planned to leave with Karl.
However, she accidentally touched the coffee cup when she stood up. Fortunately, Karl quickly grabbed her shoulders and took her back, otherwise the coffee would spill on her.
The coffee drips from the table and flows down the edge of the table.
Miana looked back at Karl, smiling shyly.
Karl glanced at Clifford blankly, and left with Miana.
Clifford looked at the back of the two with a deeper smile.
As soon as he left the restaurant, Karl withdrew his hand holding Miana’s shoulder, so fast that Miana felt that the things Karl did in the restaurant just now were just for others to see.
Miana felt a little uncomfortable thinking about this, she looked at Karl dissatisfied.
Karl didn’t look at her at all, and took out his hand and dialed the phone: “I’ll let Smith send you back.”
Hearing what he said, the dissatisfaction in Miana’s heart disappeared again.
Miana smiled and wanted to hug Karl: “Thank you.”
However, Karl inadvertently took a step aside, making Miana unable to hug him.
Miana looked at Karl with an ugly expression, and found that he was only focusing on the call, so she had to put away her unhappiness.
Karl has been very kind to her recently, and he can give whatever she wants, being considerate. Especially when she saw Karl’s attitude towards Alyssa today, she was even more convinced that Karl liked her.
As long as Karl likes her, nothing else is a problem.
Soon, Smith drove over.
Miana reluctantly got into the car, and when the car drove away, Karl didn’t even look at it, and went straight back to the opposite Adams’s office.
…
After Alyssa left the restaurant, she drove around aimlessly.
She didn’t know what she wanted to do.
She almost ran out of gas driving around aimlessly. When she was refueling, she called Tina.
“Are you busy? Come out for a drink.”
When Tina heard Alyssa’s tone, she felt something was wrong.
Tina immediately asked, “What’s wrong with you, where are you?”
Alyssa turned her head and looked around, and found that she didn’t know where it was, so she asked Tina, “Where are you, I’ll look for you.”
Tina was at the company right now. After Alyssa refueled, she drove to AdamPic Media to find Tina.
As soon as Alyssa arrived at AdamPic Media, she was recognized by the front desk lady.
“Who is Miss Alyssa looking for, do you have an appointment?” The lady at the front desk was kind to Alyssa.
Alyssa is a new up-and-coming screenwriter in the entertainment industry, and it will be a big fire after the lack of security. In the entertainment industry, it is difficult to say that, 30 years in Sky and 30 years in a quagmire.
Therefore, it is best not to offend anyone easily.
“I’m looking for Tina.” Alyssa was not surprised that the front desk would take her seriously.
“Sister Tina…” The front desk glanced to the other side and saw Tina’s assistant: “Her assistant is here.”
The assistant walked over and glanced at the front desk: “Tina’s friend.”
Alyssa entered the elevator, and the assistant explained to her: “Tina was just called for a meeting. I will take you up.”
Alyssa went up and waited for a while before Tina came out.
“What’s wrong with you? Why do you want to drink?” Tina sat down next to Alyssa, half-lengthed over and asked her.
Alyssa’s complexion was as pale as water: “I want to drink if I’m not happy.”
“Okay, wait for me, I’ll get something.” Tina said, and got up to collect the things.
When the two went down, they met Peter in the elevator.
“Alyssa?” Peter was surprised to see Alyssa: “You come to AdamPic and don’t come to me, let me know in advance.”
“I was looking for Tina, nothing else.” Alyssa found that Peter and Tina were talking to each other.
Peter patted Alyssa’s shoulder very enthusiastically: “Okay, you must look for me next time.”
Alyssa responded, “Yes, sure.”
Chapter 698
Peter entered another elevator, and the elevators taking Alyssa and Tina also came soon.
When the two entered the elevator, Alyssa asked Tina, “What happened to you and Peter?”
“What can I do with him? He is the boss and I am an employee. Isn’t it normal to have such a sparse relationship?” Tina stared at her reflection on the elevator wall, saying that it didn’t matter.
Alyssa smiled, and didn’t take Tina’s words seriously.
It seems that there is another quarrel.
And this time it was very serious. No matter how severe the quarrel between Tina and Peter before, Peter could not ignore Tina. Just now, Tina didn’t look at Peter, and Peter didn’t look at Tina more.
don’t know why this time.
These two people have spent so many years, and they have a feeling of “immortality”.
There are some things that outsiders can’t get through except the authorities.
Just like the relationship between Peter and Tina, just like the relationship between her and Karl.
Thinking of Karl, Alyssa’s eyes dimmed again.
Neither of them spoke again until they left the door of AdamPic Media.
The two opened the doors from both sides and sat in. Only then did Alyssa asked Tina, “Where to go?”
Tina said, lacking in interest, “Anywhere.”
Alyssa thought for a while, and drove to Best Day.
After all, it’s not the teenage age that she didn’t care about before. Now she looks forward to everything she does, and she wants to find a relatively safe place to avoid crime.
After arriving at Best Day, Tina was a little dissatisfied: “Why come here again.”
“The environment here is good.” Alyssa said as she unfastened her seat belt.
The two went directly to the bar inside.
There were no people in the bar at noon.
The bartenders also knew Alyssa and Tina, and they were a little surprised that they came to drink at noon. But still enthusiastically asked: “What would you like to drink?”
The two ordered a glass of wine, and after a few sips, Tina began to retching.
Alyssa put down her wine glass quickly: “What’s the matter? Did you not eat?”
Tina has stomach problems, so she will definitely feel uncomfortable without eating and drinking.
Tina vomited her eyes wide, and shook her head: “No…”
Alyssa immediately took down the wine glass in her hand: “Don’t drink, let’s go eat.”
“It’s okay, don’t I often do this, drink a little more…” Tina said as she picked up the glass to continue drinking.
“Drunkard!” Alyssa patted her on the head, but the action was light.
Tina pouted her lips, put the wine glass back, and went to eat with Alyssa.
When Alyssa went to find Karl before, it was time for lunch, and she was going to have food and talk with Karl, but after going there, she found that he was eating with Miana.
Now that she thinks about it, she feels quite ridiculous.
How come she still can’t recognize the facts?
Karl is no longer the same Karl he used to be. Even if he is talking about things, he is not necessarily willing to talk with her over dinner.
After all, Karl had already said that she was an irrelevant woman.
Karl never spends too much time and energy on irrelevant women.
Neither of them had a meal, and they didn’t even bother to talk when the food was served, so they started eating.
After eating and drinking, people calm down and think about things well.
Alyssa no longer wants to drink, but Tina wants to go.
Alyssa was dragged by Tina to the bar, and was forced to follow: “You have eaten so much, can you still drink?”
Tina snorted: “You still think I eat too much? I can afford it, why can’t I eat so much!”
Alyssa choked for a while and had nothing to say, so she could only follow her to the bar.
When they went there before, there were no guests in the bar, but now they have passed by and there are a few more guests in the bar.
It is a few young boys and girls, at most 18 or 9 years old.
Best Day will not allow minors to drink in bars.
Those drinking over there are three men and two women in a group, and the relationship is unknown.
Tina joked with Alyssa while drinking, “Guess who is a couple over there?”
Alyssa stared at the three men and two women over there for a while, and then said, “There are five people over there, two girls, and three boys. One of them is a couple, and the other two boys like the same one girl as well.”
“How do you know?” Tina got interested, and kept staring there.
Alyssa raised her eyebrows: “Guessed it.”
In fact, it is not just speculation.
The interaction between lovers can be seen at a glance. The other two children have been paying tribute to the same girl again, and the girl has the same attitude towards the two boys, and it is obvious that she doesn’t like anyone.
Alyssa and Tina looked at them for a while, and they felt that they were not interesting, and began to chat about other things.
After a while, another boy came in from outside.
The light in the bar was not good, and Alyssa just glanced at it roughly, and did not see what the person who came in looked like, only knew that it was a tall boy.
Alyssa was about to talk to Tina when she heard a loud “boom” from there.
Alyssa and Tina turned their heads together, and saw that the three boys over there had been beaten into a ball, and everything they could get was used as a weapon.
Wine bottles, fruit plates, chairs… all were picked up and smashed.
Tina couldn’t help sighing: “Young people are just full of blood!”
Alyssa glanced at her: “We are also in the twenties, and we are also young people.”
The two of them calmly drank while watching people fighting over there.
The bartender has already called the security guard.
Alyssa originally looked at the show, but after watching it for a long time, she found that the tallest boy among them became more and more familiar.
She put down her wine glass, took a look at him, and called out a name in surprise: “Luther?”
“Who?” Tina asked again without hearing what Alyssa said.
“Luther! Karl’s cousin!” Alyssa’s expression was a little anxious, she put down her wine glass, stood up and started walking there.
Tina quickly grabbed her: “What does Karl’s cousin have to do with you!”
“Except for Karl’s cousin, Luther is also Luther. He calls me sister, so I can’t just sit idly by.”
Hearing Alyssa said that, Tina had to let go.
Alyssa walked over, pursed a face, and let out angrily: “Stop!”
Several boys who were still fighting were startled by the sudden anger and stopped.
Alyssa’s gaze fell on Luther’s body.
Speaking of it, she hadn’t seen Luther for more than three years.
Boys change every year during their teenage years.
With all the money, Luther is nineteen years old this year.
The nineteen-year-old boy has begun to take on the figure of a man, and his figure is taller. It seems to be much darker, but he is still a beautiful child.
Luther was also startled when he saw Alyssa: “Sister Alyssa…”
