Chapter 127
At 10 o'clock in the evening, in the Presidential Suite of a five-star hotel in Bekki.
After signing the contract with the important clients, Edward shook hands with them and formally said, "Nice to cooperate with you."
The red wine cup collided with each other, making a crisp sound.
Edward lowered his head slightly and gently shook the goblet. He put it down without taking a sip. He crossed his slender fingers and sat on the black leather sofa. He seemed to be integrated with the pure-colored formal suit. He was black and mysterious, looking noble and handsome.
Charles, the leader of the company, looked at Edward and said with a smile, "Mr. Hales is different from the rumors. I thought you liked drinking very much."
"I've been drinking too much these two days, and my head will hurt," Edward said lightly. He asked the people in the hotel to make a pot of tea and it would be delivered soon. It was not as good as the tea in the teahouse outside, but the light tea fragrance and hot water temperature were not bad, which could warm the stomach. He basically didn't eat anything today.
Charles also poured himself a cup of hot tea. These two days, he really drank too much, and he was busy with various social activities. "In the future, in addition to business, we will contact each other in private. If there is any way to make money, you can take care of each other."
Charles held out his hand. He was of the same kind as Edward. He was a young master in Bekki and had a strong background. The cooperation this time was a combination of strong and strong forces. They had fought for a long time, and the higher-ups of both groups attached great importance to him.
"Okay." Edward reached a consensus with Charles straightforwardly, and his eyes suddenly became sharp. Charles was a force he wanted to draw to his side. Since he had decided not to marry Sophie, he naturally had to work hard somewhere else.
After chatting with Edward for a while, Charles left with his accompanying secretary and lawyer.
The female executive was responsible for sending them out and returning to the suite to report to the president's superior. "Mr. Hales, Miss Sophie is waiting for you at the buffet restaurant downstairs. Do I need to go down and invite her?" The female executive was very strange. Last night, Sophie and Mr. Hales lived in the same hotel, but they lived in different rooms. It was obvious that her girlfriend was a gentle and considerate boyfriend who came to visit her. Shouldn't she roll in bed with her usual routine? However, Sophie booked another room and stayed next to Mr. Hales. As a result, Mr. Hales changed to another hotel early this morning, and booked all the empty bedrooms, which clearly indicated that he wouldn't let his girlfriend, Sophie, approach him.
The reason why her girlfriend was so cold was that she didn't love him and wanted to break up with him. The female executives thought that this was an opportunity for her to get close to the president and the male superior. It was difficult for her to encounter Edward's emotional crisis!
At the age of a female executive, she would no longer dream of marrying into a rich and powerful family as Edward's wife. She needed to make her career better. With a physical relationship with a male superior, it would be more convenient for her to get more money. With the help of the company, she did not care about being his mistress.
"No need." Edward's handsome face showed a faint emotion. He raised his slender hand, pinched his eyebrows, and ordered, "Ask someone to send her back to the hotel. Tell them that I'm busy and it's not convenient for us to meet." "Yes." The female executive was very excited. It was indeed a emotional crisis. Edward did not like Sophie!
Edward waved his hand and said wearily, "You can get off work now."
"Young Mr. Hales, are you tired today? Do you need me to ask the hotel staff to arrange a massage artist to come to your room and give you a massage to relax?" The female executive changed the title. After work, she cared about a man on her own. She was full of understanding.
"No need. Just get off work." Edward didn't want to talk nonsense. He didn't like employees who went beyond the rules.
When he was tired of work, he would go to the massage house to massage. With his own fixed massage artist, he would not use others at will. It was not because he was cautious, but because he received various subtle hints of service at the beginning of the massage, which greatly ruined his interest.
He did not like women in that kind of place, and his taste was not so low.
"Yes... Then I'll go first?" The female executive wanted to stay, but she couldn't find a reason to stay. Obviously, Edward had no reason to stay tonight.
A man who was too tired might not have sex.
It was a pity that the female executives could only leave.
Edward finished a cup of tea, picked up the hotel's pick-up, and asked someone to arrange the cleaner to come in and pack up. He also ordered dinner and a bowl of noodles.
She was so tired that she didn't want to eat.
Thinking of the few text messages on his phone, Edward pursed his thin lips lazily. He suddenly figured out why he could accept the two kids of Nelissa's family. Apart from their love affair, there was a small part that the two kids were very good at pleasing him.
Even his father wouldn't care about whether he had dinner or not. These two kids regarded him as their father.
Edward's heart was filled with warmth. She thought of her palm-sized face, her fair and tender body, and her slender arms that wrapped around his neck, calling him by his name in confusion... Edward's breathing became heavier and his neck became numb.
The cleaner of the hotel came in to clean up. Edward went to the bathroom to take a shower and came out in a comfortable bathrobe. The waiter put down the bowl of noodles and left the suite.
Edward picked up the silver chopsticks and ate with noodles in his hands. His slender and bony hands held the chopsticks in an elegant and beautiful posture. He ate the noodles one by one, looking handsome and cold.
He had just eaten a few mouthfuls, but Edward put down his chopsticks and stopped eating. It was very hard to eat, which was not in his appetite.
He took out a tissue and wiped his mouth. As he turned on the computer, he dialed Nelissa's number on his phone. Soon, he picked up the phone. Nelissa said to him in a soft voice, "Edward."
Edward's heart softened. "Have you slept?"
Nelissa told him truthfully, "No, I'm waiting for you."

Edward's thin lips curled into a smile. "Turn on the computer. We'll make a video call."
"Okay." Nelissa listened to him and opened her own pen. She had just taken it back from the room of Noelle for Nathan, just for a video chat with him.
There was a long distance between them. On the other side of the video, Edward's eyes were fixed on the Nelissa in the video. Her white face was very small under her black hair. She was wearing loose pajamas, revealing her collarbone. Nelissa looked down and blinked her beautiful eyelashes. She asked him, "Have you had dinner yet?"
Edward gave a soft "hmm" and rolled his Adam's apple. "Yes."
"That bowl of noodles?" Nelissa looked up. Through the video, she could see a bowl of noodles beside the table. It was quite full. "You haven't finished yet."
"It tastes bad." Edward pouted, looked down on her, and was even willful.
Nelissa was speechless. Was the chef of a five-star hotel that bad? What kind of taste did he have?
She frowned and said with concern, "You can't eat it even if it's bad. You don't drink or have dinner. You'll get stomach problems."
Edward's gaze was fixed on Nelissa. "I haven't drunk today."
Nelissa blinked her eyes. Under Edward's burning gaze, her heart beat faster. Last night, she told him not to drink too much and he had promised not to drink.
He put her words in his heart and she was a little spoiled.
Edward said in a low and husky voice, "You're so naughty today. I've only been on a business trip for a few days, but you're eating with Jordan behind my back. I want to find another man, okay?"
Nelissa didn't say anything and argued, "What man? He's my high school classmate."
Edward frowned, feeling very unhappy about Jordan. Thinking that Nelissa and Jordan were together today, he was very angry. "Does he have any improper thoughts about you? He wants to pursue you, and so do I. What about you? Do you like him?"
Nelissa shook her head. She didn't like Jordan at all. In the past, she didn't like him at school, but now, she didn't like him either.
Edward's thin lips parted slightly. "Then you like me? Hmm?"

Nelissa's cheeks turned red. She didn't reply to him. She hadn't decided whether she should accept him or not. She would talk about it when he came back from his business trip.
She changed the subject and somehow explained, "I didn't make an appointment with Jordan today. I took Noelle out for Nathan for dinner, and happened to meet him in the restaurant. We had a meal together, but he didn't eat much and left."
Of course, Edward snorted in his heart.
What he did when he instructed his friend, Jason, was quite efficient. He couldn't let Jordan have a chance to get along with Nelissa when he knew about it. He was very fond of Nelissa's possessiveness and didn't like men other than him to peek at her!
Nelissa didn't tell Edward that Jordan's nephew and Noelle had been classmates for Nathan, so she felt that it was better not to talk about it.
Edward frowned and avoided his question. Looking at her fair face, he got angrier and angrier. He said in a hoarse voice, "Do you know when I come back?"
Nelissa looked at him. "When are you coming back?"
Edward told Nelissa about his follow-up schedule. "I'll try my best for the next two days. I'll be going to the branch office tomorrow to settle some business matters. I'll be back when I'm done. But I may not be able to avoid being in the same plane as Sophie. I won't touch her."
Nelissa didn't respond. He loved to touch his girlfriend.
"If you touch her, you'll have to take responsibility," she said. With her strange personality, she could do anything that was of the highest quality. Ordinary people would not be able to understand her.
Edward put one hand on his handsome face and looked at Nelissa's deep eyes. He was very charming. "I touched you. I'll take responsibility for you, okay?"
Nelissa blushed. She didn't mean that!
She was serious. He was not serious!
"I'm going to sleep. Go and get some rest!" Nelissa was so embarrassed that she wanted to close the pen and flashlight directly. However, Edward's eyes met hers. Her heart softened and she could not bear to part with this man. "You'd better have dinner. The noodles are not delicious. Order a western style breakfast. It's delicious."
If they wanted to make good noodles, they needed a good soup and a certain method to make it. It was difficult to satisfy Edward's picky mouth, but it was much easier to make western-style breakfast. It was made of lotus eggs, ham, potato sauce, and bread. With a cup of hot milk, it was actually very easy to make.
After giving birth to a child, Nelissa began to study cooking diligently. After all, she was poor and couldn't take Noelle out for Nathan all day long to eat. She would learn some simple, nutritious and easy-going dishes, and she had learned a lot and experience.
"Yes." Edward nodded.
"I'm asleep. Goodbye." Nelissa slowly closed the pen and flashlight.
