Chapter 259 The one who Left Came Back 7
Nanny Daisy used to spend every New Year with her son and daughter in Newton Town. And I used to spend new year with either Grandma or Grandpa George.
Now that the two old people were gone, it was cold and quiet, as if there was nothing to celebrate in the New Year.
I didn’t know anything about Diana yet. Thinking of this, I was tempted to call Alex, but I gave up when I found it was still early.
So I looked at Nanny Daisy and said, “I’m gonna stop by the office later, and Dennis’s not here, so you don’t have to make our breakfast.”Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
She wanted to say something, but I took the key and went out.
The Gibson company started at nine. I arrived early, so I waited in the office for a while before I went to contact the person in charge of JD Technology Co., Ltd.
AI research and development could not be completed in a day or two. But I was happy to see the new progress.
I met Yara when I came out of R&D. She moved back to the Gibson’s a few days ago, and it looked like she was back at work now.
“Are you in a hurry?” she said, seeing that I was going out.
I shook my head, “What’s wrong?”
“New Year is coming. What are you and Dennis going to do this year? Go back to Newton Town or stay in City P?”
“Not sure yet.” I looked at her and said faintly, “You can ask Dennis.”
Then I started to leave, but in the hall I met a group of people who were just coming in.
Dennis and Marcus were here. Looked like they were here to talk about work.
In the reception hall, Dennis stood out for his slender figure. He was standing in the lobby with one hand in his pocket, talking to Marcus.
Our eyes met, and he frowned, as if there was still cold in his eyes. I stared for a moment, pursed my lips and staggered my eyes, heading straight out of the hall.
“Clara, have you had breakfast yet?” Marcus said, blocking me so I couldn’t pretend I didn’t see them.
I stopped and gave Dennis an automatic look. He was still wearing yesterday’s clothes, which was a little wrinkled.
“I’ll have it later.” Said I lightly. Seeing some colleagues greeting me, I nodded back and prepared to leave.
I looked at Marcus and said, “I have to go.”
“Why don’t you join us? Me and Dennis are on our way to lunch. Come on!”
“No, I have other things to do. You can go first.” With that, I touched my car keys.
Dennis’s face was cold. He glanced at Marcus coldly and said, “Don’t you have anything else to do?”
I pursed my lips and didn’t intend to stay too long. I turned to Marcus and said, “Bye!”
Before Marcus could speak, I was out of the hall.
Marcus’s grumpy voice came from behind me, “Are you blaming me now? Who stayed up all night and drank too much last night? Who was upset last night?”
…
Out of the lobby, I got into my car and had just started when Jackie called.
I put out the fire and said, “What’s the matter?”
“Why don’t you go back to Newton Town? You’d better come today.” Her voice was grave.
I was stunned, “What happened?”
After a pause, she said, “I don’t know how to say this. They were probably trying to hide it from you, which is why they didn’t talk to you for so long. But they can’t keep it from you forever. Why don’t you come back and take a look, and you’ll know it.”
There was a thump in my head, and I couldn’t get it out of my mouth. I took a long, deep breath and said, “Is something wrong with Diana?”
She did not answer me, but was silent for a moment and said, “Come and have a look!”
“Okay.”
After hanging up, I booked a flight to Newton Town. Fortunately, it was early, and there was a flight from City P to Newton Town in an hour.
I booked my flight and started my car. At the Gibson building, Marcus trotted out and waved to my car.
Stunned, I pulled over, looked at him and said, “What’s wrong?”
“Clara, Dennis and I will have lunch in Ny City later. Why don’t you join us?” He looked at me and smiled.
I was stunned. Ny City?
A favorite place for young men and women in City P? The most luxurious area for men and women.
I looked at the time. There was still an hour to get from here to the airport and no time for lunch.
Dennis followed him out the hall door. He was as cold as ever.
My lips pressed together as I looked at Marcus and said, “I’m sorry I won’t be coming with you because I have other things to do. Why don’t you call Olivia? She should be free for lunch with Dennis… and you.”
With that, I started the car. Marcus was a little angry. “Clara, what are you talking about? Don’t you know why Dennis booked the restaurant in Ny City? When a couple quarrel and if one admits his mistake, the other has to accept it. Do you have to be so stiff?”
I pressed my lips together and watched the clock tick away. I looked at Dennis at the entrance to the hall, then at Marcus, “Marcus, I really appreciate your hard work for the relationship between Dennis and me, and thank Dennis for his kindness. But please tell him that if a relationship between people can’t continue, it can end peacefully and gently. We’ll chill out with each other for a few days. I have to go!”
Stepping on the gas, I drove straight out onto the road, my heart fidgeting.
It was not that I did not want to ease the relationship between us, but there was still some resistance in my heart, as to what resistance, I did not know.
Just in time, I was going to Newton Town. When I got back, maybe everything would be all right.
The airport in City P had a huge flow of people every day. There was a lot of traffic, but I made my plane.
I hurriedly picked up my ticket and boarded the plane with a sigh of relief. I found my seat and soon the plane took off.
“Dear passengers, the plane is about to take off. For your safety, please put away your tray table and fasten your seat belt. Please turn off your mobile phone or put it into airplane mode.” The sweet voice of the stewardess came out.
Subconsciously, I found my phone in my bag and was about to turn it off when I saw a dozen missed calls on the screen belonging to Dennis. And a couple of texts, all from him.
As I was in a hurry to turn it off, I glanced through it. Except for the first one asking where I was, all the others were greetings.
The plane was about to take off, so I turned off my phone before I could reply.
“It was a four-hour flight from City P to Newton Town. I barely slept last night, so I asked the stewardess for a blanket shortly after takeoff and took a nap.
The plane had landed when I woke up. I turned it on and checked the time. It was 6 p. m.
When I got off the plane, Jackie picked me up.
