Tangled Up In Blue

Chapter 188 It's A Room Card

With a bottle of wine in her hand, Shirley walked up to them and handed it to Malcolm. "Mr. Mo, happy birthday!"

"Thank you." Malcolm took the wine. Just when he was about to greet with Shirley, Shirley suddenly dragged Poppi away from him.

"Hello!" Poppi screamed and was dragged aside by Shirley. "What are you doing?!"

Shirley patted on Poppi's shoulder and whispered, "why didn't you go to the hotel I booked for you?"

"Did you come back for this?" Poppi stared at Shirley incredulously. That day when she called, she was taking photos for a magazine on a tropical island. It was out of her expectation that Shirley came back so soon.

The two women were chatting. Hugh and Malcolm were talking about business.

"Of course we have something else to tell you." Then, Shirley raised her head proudly and pointed to the East. "I knew you would be embarrassed to go there, so I booked a hotel here. After I make Malcolm drunk, you two will spend the night there."

When Poppi saw the words "Vedder Theme Hotel" pointed out by Shirley, her face flushed. She knew that Shirley was not a good person!

"Do you appreciate me?" With a snicker on Shirley's face.

"Thank you, no!" Poppi rolled her eyes at her.

Shirley shrugged her shoulders and then came to rub the Poppi in a flattering way, "well, by the way Mr. Mo's new product is being launched and the spokesperson hasn't been decided yet. Can you go near Mr. Mo and get me the spokesperson tonight? "

"What Shirley Qiao! I say you are so kind! Are you going to sell me? " Poppi said angrily.

"Why would I sell you! I'm creating an opportunity for you and Malcolm! Opportunity! " Shirley shouted exaggeratedly. However, when she was covered by Poppi, Poppi glared at her and threatened, "let's say one more word, I'll drag Malcolm out of here!"

The gate opened with a creak

As soon as she finished her words, a sound of brake suddenly came from behind. Poppi let go of Shirley and looked back at her at the same time. They saw a black sports car stopped in front of Malcolm. With a bang of the door open, both of Barry and Celine got off the car, one from the left and the other from the right.

Poppi was stunned.

"I called them here." Crossing her arms over her chest, Shirley acted as if she was waiting for something funny to happen. "In fact, I only called Barry at the beginning, but Barry said that he wanted to ask Celine to come with him. I thought about it and decided to come, just in time to let her see how affectionate you and Malcolm are. But what's the relationship between Barry and Celine? "

Poppi frowned and felt a little confused. However, Celine hopped out of the car and ran to Poppi when she saw her. She held Poppi's arm and acted like a spoiled child, "sister, today is my brother-in-law's birthday. Why didn't you call me over?"

Brother in law Shirley rolled her eyes and got goose bumps all over the place.

"Aren't you in the hospital?" Poppi smiled awkwardly, "Why are you here? The doctor said that the you could come out after New Year's Day. "

"But I don't want to stay in the hospital anymore! I am so boring! " Celine pouted.

"Then Okay. " Poppi took a glance at everyone and her eyes fell on Barry for a second. She had thought that he would tease her, but it was rare that she didn't see the dissatisfaction on his face.

Hearing this, Malcolm had mixed feelings. He looked at Poppi and found that he was not angry anymore when he saw her apologetic smile. Then he smiled affectionately to show that he was fine.

"All right, all right, let's go!" Holding on to Poppi's hand, Shirley pulled Wendy and said, "let's go to have lunch! My treat today. "

They walked towards the hall in succession, and the group of handsome men and beautiful women attracted a lot of attention.

"Didn't Abner come?" Malcolm asked.

Shirley blinked her eyes and asked deliberately, "Abner? Who is Abner? "

There is something Poppi smiled and said deliberately to Shirley. "Oh, Abner is my friend! Don't you know him, Shirley? I can call him come here today to meet you, right? "

"No, thanks." Shirley clenched her teeth and tried to stop her, but she was not as quick as Poppi.

Holding her cell phone, Poppi called Abner quickly, "hello? Mr. Shen, are you free tonight? "

"Poppi! Don't call that old goat over! " Shouted Shirley, forgetting what others were thinking about.

"Well Yes, call me when you arrive at the Sofia Hotel! yes! That's it! " Poppi quickly hung up the phone and stepped back. She almost fell down as her feet became unstable. Fortunately, she was supported by Malcolm.

Holding Poppi's shoulder from her back, Malcolm gently rebuked her, "be careful!"

"Thank you." Poppi looked back and stuck her tongue out.

The light in her eyes dimmed and Celine grabbed her bag tightly. Their success or failure tonight was at a crucial moment.

In the room, Malcolm was pushed to the guest seat by Shirley. Naturally, Poppi was arranged to be next to him, and Wendy was put next to Poppi. Barry kept his eyes fixed on Wendy. Seeing that Wendy sat down, Barry followed and sat next to Wendy.

The seat on the other side of Malcolm was still empty. Looking at it, Celine was about to sit down, but Shirley stretched out her long arm and suddenly put her bag on the chair. She turned around and said to Malcolm, "come on, Mr. Mo. I'm going to open the wine!"

Celine was taken aback by Shirley's words.

After Shirley finished speaking to Malcolm, Shirley turned around, as if she just saw Celine. She said in surprise, "'Celine, why are you still standing here? Take a seat! Take a seat. Don't be so formal with me. "

Then she took a look at the seat beside her. It was the table next to her. Wendy then said to her, "Miss. Celine, please sit here with me." After saying that, Celine turned around and was about to leave. But she was pulled back by Barry before she stood up.

"Sit down!" Looking sideways at Wendy, Barry fixed his eyes on her. "Sit down!" he said with all his strength

Like an onlooker, Hugh took a sip of tea. And tonight, they seemed like a trap. Every one of the people present would affect another person, but he He took a deep look at the direction of Poppi.

"Mr. Su," Dan sat beside Hugh and filled the cup for Hugh.

"Thank you." Said Hugh. Who else would be involved in Dan?

Celine smiled politely. "I'll sit with Shirley."

"Good girl." Shirley said with a fake smile on her face.

After sitting down, Shirley didn't wait for Abner. She immediately called the kitchen to serve dishes. But this time, Abner unexpectedly came earlier than the first appetizer.

Shirley rolled her eyes at Abner. Abner didn't expect them to come here. The group of people chatted, including life, news, and work. They looked harmonious on the surface, but what they were thinking in their hearts was unknown.

"Happy birthday, Mr. Mo. and long live!"

After the dishes were served, Shirley brought a glass of wine. Everyone drank it except Wendy and Celine. After drinking the wine, there were more guests at the table. They kept chatting and laughing. Barry couldn't help making fun of them, and Hugh also joined up to kick up a fuss. And Shirley also went crazy. The scene became more lively and laughter.

"Excuse me, I want to go to the bathroom." Poppi kept drinking by Shirley and could not hold on any more so she whispered to Malcolm.

"Do you want me to go with you?" Malcolm was about to get up.

"Don't bother!" Seeing this, Poppi waved her hand. When she was about to get up, Shirley came over too. She held Poppi's hand and said to Malcolm, "Mr. Mo, I'll go with her. Don't worry. It's no problem!"

Malcolm finally nodded, "come back soon."

"Eat more meat." On the other side of the line, Barry put food in Wendy's plate and said, "you are too thin."

"Thank you." Wendy thanked him in a low voice, but she didn't eat anything.

"You don't want to eat?" Asked Barry with a frown.

Wendy shook her head and said nothing.

"Why did you sneak away last time?" Barry asked again. It seemed that he would not let her go tonight.

"Because I had something else to do, I left." Wendy pressed her lips and felt her mouth parched.

"Don't you want to see me?"

"…… Yes. " Wendy responded in a low voice. She didn't want to see him, she didn't want to see Celine being with him, she didn't want herself to become another woman's substitute, she just couldn't control herself.

Barry raising his glass and drinking it up. The hot feeling flew from the throat to the bottom of his heart. He was chaos and sober, and he deserved it.

In the hallway of the hotel, Shirley was with two room cards in her hand. She passed one of the cards to Poppi and said, "this, this is the room card! 1306! Remember! Just go to your room and wait for Malcolm. "

Poppi took the room card and continued, "I, I don't want to go!"

"You must go!" Shirley frowned.

"I I have to go to the toilet! " Poppi held the wall and went to the bathroom. As soon as she turned the corridor, she bumped into a man wearing a cap. "Bang!" the card in her hand fell on the marble ground.

"I'm sorry!" The man apologized in a hurry. He picked up the room card first before Poppi bent down, and handed it to Poppi with the card back, "Miss, are you all right?"

Poppi shook her head and replied, "no, nothing Thank you! " After taking the room card, Poppi continued to stagger toward the bathroom.

The man behind her looked back and reached out his hand, with a room card in it.

After a while, Shirley caught up with Poppi and followed her into the washroom. "You Go to the toilet. I'll take you to the hotel! "

In the private room, Celine's cell phone suddenly buzzed. She took it out and saw a text message which read, "done, room 1306."

Celine caught a glimpse of Malcolm from the corner of her eyes and smirked.
