Chapter 47 Help Diana
I talked to the policeman who interrogated Diana yesterday and asked about the details and learned that there was no progress. The surveillance cameras in the hotel were broken as Mario Bennett said, and no clues could be found. Therefore, I can’t meet Diana and can only wait for further results of the investigation.
I could only go to the Time Bar, but when I arrived, the bar had been closed.
The social network formed by people was complicated and hierarchical and I was afraid that I could not find any evidence to help Diana by myself. It was also naïve of me to think that Dennis would come here. When he called me, I was sitting at the entrance of the bar feeling discouraged. I answered the phone, it was a bit noisy on the other end, but his voice was clear, “Where are you?”
“I’m at the company.” I knew he would be unhappy if I told him that I was in the bar, so I lied. His tone became cold, “Since when does the company look so miserable?”
I knew I was exposed and I was also stunned, when I looked up, I saw my car and Dennis looked at me in an indifferent way with his deep black eyes.
No wonder it was noisy over the phone, it turned out that…
I hung up the phone and nodded at him. I walked towards the car and got in, leaning on the seat, and sighing in relief. I looked at him and said, “Why are you here?”
“Why are you here?” He asked in reply unhappily. I rubbed my temple, and closed my eyes, then I said in a tired tone, “Luis said he was only responsible for the audit of the George Group, and he won’t be in charge of the audit of Thomson Group.”
“Leave it to AC.” Dennis started the car directly.
I was stunned and confused, “Leave all to AC or just Thomson Group?”
He glanced at me when we were waiting for the green light, “Do you want to break the contract?”
Well, Luis and I have already signed the contract, so it was Thomson Group’s audit which would be handed over to AC.
I have a slight pain in my shoulders and spine, so I leaned back in the chair and I found it was not the way to home, and I asked, “Where are we going?”
“We are going to have dinner.”
He has always been quiet and indifferent, so I didn’t ask for more but seeing him parking the car in the shopping arcade, I was puzzled, “Are we going to have dinner here?”
Was he planning to go shopping with me, then have dinner? I didn’t know he was so romantic. He glanced at me and signaled me to enter the mall with him. Dennis was tall and had a powerful vibe, coupled with his handsome face, he was inevitably eye-catching.
Many women in the mall were attracted to him when we entered, they were acting either shyly or naturally. I couldn’t help but pouted, “Dangerous beauty.”
He stopped suddenly and I wasn’t paying attention, so I bumped into his back directly. I felt an intense pain and frowned, “Why did you stop?”
“You should pay attention when you walk.” He looked at me, and took me into the brand store, he said in a deep voice, “We have an appointment in the evening so pick some clothes that fit you.”
I was stunned and I didn’t know we had an appointment, but I didn’t ask. I had a bad taste in clothes and I can hardly find clothes that fit me. Dennis was getting impatient and asked the personal shopper to help me seeing that I had been searching but found nothing. Finally, I had picked a dress with the pattern of tiny flowers with an apricot-colored suit, which looked great on me. I thought it would be perfect with high heels, but it was rejected by Dennis, he said, “High heels are not for the pregnant.”
Damn, could the shoes be counted as high heels if the heels were only 3 centimeters high? I followed him onto the car angrily, and I realized why he took me to the mall.
“Dennis!” He started the car, and I was mad so I shouted.
“Huh?” He had always been careful when driving, and when he heard me calling him, he glanced at me, and then continued to look ahead.
“I’m angry!” I don’t know what’s wrong with me, but I’m just pissed-off. I thought he was taking me shopping, but…
He glanced at me, and curled his lips. He seemed pleased, “What are you angry about?”
Hmm, I did not know so I went silent and sat in low spirits. Suddenly I felt a warm hand wrapped around my hand and he whispered to me in a deep pleasant voice, “Anger is bad for the baby so please don’t be mad.”
Fuff, I would remember his fondness for a very long time and after a few years, these scattered memories became my only sweetness. We arrived at a luxurious European-style villa, and I was stunned, “Who are we visiting?”
He handed the car key to the usher, and said in a gentle voice, “A few friends.”
Why was he acting so mysteriously? I followed him into the villa, and greeted a middle-aged woman in fine dress. She smiled and said to Dennis, “Dennis, long time no see.”
Seeing me standing next to Dennis, she smiled and looked at him, “Is this Ms. George?”
He nodded, and shook hands with her, “Mr. Thomas, please excuse me for having kept you waiting.”
I suddenly remembered after taking a closer look at her, she is Luna Knight, mother of Luis. Why did Dennis bring me here for dinner? Luna took us into the villa after a brief introduction. We followed her into the dining hall which was on the second floor. There were already a few people there, they were all middle-aged men and they brought their wives.
Luna asked the servants to start serving food, and then she smiled, “Thank you so much for honoring me with your presence. You are busy and we barely have time to get together. So, it is a rare opportunity that we are all here, just make yourselves at home.”
“Wait a minute, Luna, you haven’t told us about the young man who just came in?” It was a middle-aged man who was slightly fat and with a commanding appearance. Luna said with a smile, “Mr. Bates, this is Dennis George, whom I have been talking about before. He is young and promising. Next to him is his wife, Ms. George.”
I listened to their introductions and realized that they were basically powerful figures in business and political circles. Luna mentioned the recent interesting news in Newton Town while we were having dinner. I didn’t know if she deliberately mentioned Heroin, saying that it hadn’t appeared for decades and she wanted some for medical purposes.
