Chapter 282 – War of Words
She mentions going back to August City, and Debby White’s movements pause again.
When Cecilia Glendon was walking back from dinner last night, she said she would stay in August City, and Debby White was so surprised she didn’t know what to say, but now she’s getting over it.
She wanted to persuade Cecilia Glendon to stay in Greenwich, but she also understood that Cecilia Glendon would not change her mind easily since she had already decided so.
She didn’t ask Cecilia Glendon again why she was going to August City. Perhaps when Cecilia Glendon wanted to talk about it later, she would naturally tell her.
Thinking about this, Debby White didn’t dwell on this matter anymore and happily cooked her own meal.
“What are you having fun with?” Cecilia Glendon thought things back and saw Debby White’s mouth grinning to the corners of her ears.
“What do you care what I’m happy about.” Debby White grunted.
Cecilia Glendon left the kitchen to go back to worrying about how to get the bag back tomorrow.
She wondered if she had to call Abbott Benson ahead of time to say so.
I wanted to get Debby White’s cell phone to call, but once I thought of the unpleasant things that happened between me and Abbott Benson on the road, she didn’t want to hear his voice so soon, so I didn’t call, and I’ll go directly to Duke tomorrow and ask Abbott Benson for it.
…
This night Cecilia Glendon continued to not sleep well, and the next morning when she heard Debby White get up, she gingerly lifted the covers and got up as well.
Steven Glendon was still asleep, a child not used to getting up so early.
Cecilia Glendon opened the door to her room and walked out. Debby White was washing up when Cecilia Glendon’s footsteps drew her attention.
“Why are you up so early?” Debby White asked Cecilia Glendon as she pulled her toothbrush out and spit out a lather.
“Lend me your phone to make a call.” Cecilia Glendon said.
“Where’s the table, get your own.” Debby White gestures with her chin to where the table is.
“Thanks.”
Cecilia Glendon turned to her cell phone, from which she retrieved Abbott Benson’s number and dialed it.
It took a while for the other end to ring before it was answered, “Hello?”
A low, husky, slightly sexy man’s voice came from the phone.
Cecilia Glendon’s ears tingled a little as she listened.
Abbott Benson is still awake, isn’t he? Woken up by her phone call?
Cecilia Glendon looked over at Debby White, who was still washing up in the bathroom, and she busied herself with her cell phone to answer the call for a change.
“It’s me, Cecilia Glendon.”
Cecilia Glendon thought Abbott Benson would be snide again when he heard it was her, and she was ready for him to laugh at her.
But the truth is, after hearing that it was her, the other end was silent for about two seconds, and then …
–Toot, the phone was hung up.
Cecilia Glendon: ????
She brought the phone up to her eyes a little strangely to see what she thought was her ear accidentally hitting the hang-up button, and called Abbott Benson over again.
This time, the phone beeped three times before it was hung up again.
Cecilia Glendon is instantly furious, fight again!
Still hung up!
She bit the pressure root creaking, grabbed the phone and typed quickly to send a text message over.
–Abbott Benson! Why did you hang up on me? You have no basic manners! Wait for me to finish my sentence! I’m not stalking you!
In the face of her anger, Abbott Benson only returned two words.
[…].
Not even a punctuation mark, very tug, she seems to be able to feel through the screen when typing these two words that mock condescending expression.
In the morning Cecilia Glendon was so angry that her stomach hurt.
Debby White came out after washing up and saw Cecilia Glendon standing on the balcony, her face full of anger, her fingers still poking at the screen and typing, looking at the force of the phone screen is to poke a hole in it.
“Ehhhhhh, what’s up?” Debby White walked over to the window, “Early in the morning, you want my phone to go kaput?”
“I’m dying of anger!” Cecilia Glendon shoved her phone into Debby White’s hand in annoyance and strode off to the bathroom to wash her face and clear her head.
Debby White curiously scanned the short message page on the phone, this look, happy.
Cecilia Glendon to Abbott Benson text messages each at least a dozen words, and Abbott Benson’s reply that can be simple, all are two words – huh.
No wonder you can make Cecilia Glendon so angry.
However, the Abbott Benson is definitely the first person who can make Cecilia Glendon’s balls hurt.
Debby White smilingly put away her cell phone and went into her room to change her clothes.
She knew that Cecilia Glendon was going to pick up her bag from Abbott Benson today, and she definitely couldn’t take Steven Glendon with her, so she took a leave of absence from the law firm to take care of Steven Glendon at home and take him out on the side.
…
After breakfast, Cecilia Glendon took her keys and money and headed out.
She left before using Debby White’s phone to send a text message to Abbott Benson, stating that she went to Duke to wait for him to retrieve his things, and then waited for ten minutes for him not to reply, Cecilia Glendon took him to be aware of the direct out the door.
During the morning rush hour, she stopped a cab at the door for a while before getting on it.
She had been simulating in her head what she would say after she saw Abbott Benson later to make him return her things without difficulty, and she had thought of several versions, but she had not expected one thing.
“Miss, you really can’t go up there without an appointment.” The lady at the front desk dutifully stopped Cecilia Glendon from letting her in.
“I told you, I have an appointment with your president to meet here.” Cecilia Glendon was good-natured enough to press the receptionist while walking over to the elevator.
But the receptionist looks thin, but the strength is there, but hard to stop Cecilia Glendon: “Miss, if I let you in I will lose this job, please do not make it difficult for me, if you really have an appointment with the president, then the secretary will know about it, but just now when you heard the phone, the secretary does not know. ”
Cecilia Glendon at this moment is really appreciate what is called out of the division before the death of the body.
She was a little discouraged, and the hand that had been pressing the receptionist dropped.
Maybe she should go to the police station andget a certificate that she lost her ID and then get a new one so she can go back to August City tomorrow.
As for the things in her bag, it’s probably better to leave them in Abbott Benson’s hands than in the hands of a stranger.
With this in mind, Cecilia Glendon took two steps back and turned around to get out of the way.
“Cecilia Glendon.”
But just as she was about to leave with her head down, Moses Walker’s voice came into her ears.
Cecilia Glendon looked up and saw Moses Walker walking toward her.
“I’m sorry I’m late.” Moses Walker said slightly apologetically, “Come on, let’s go up and talk.”
“What do you … want to tell me?” Cecilia Glendon intuited that Moses Walker had some bad news to say.
Especially after using him slightly yesterday.
“What are you afraid of? If I want to retaliate, it’s not now that I want to retaliate against you.” Moses Walker looked like he could see what was going through her mind.
Cecilia Glendon huffed, “Where’s Abbott Benson?”
“He’s gone.” Moses Walker said as he held her wrist and walked toward the elevator.
“Gone?” Cecilia Glendon was startled by his words, “Where did he go?”
