Chapter 204
Nelissa's mind was wandering in the elevator.
Although this Mr. Su was already a powerful figure, the doctor and the patient had to follow the rules to accept red packets. Previously, she only cared about her family affairs and did not think of this important point. Now that Mr. Su invited her to dinner, he must be hinting that she should give red packets, but she only had a thousand yuan in her purse.
If she gave 1, 000 red packets to Mr. Su, she might even insult the old man. What should she do? There was no bank nearby to transfer money. Could she transfer money with Zhi Fubao? But this old man looked so rigid and old that he might not collect money with his mobile phone...
Nelissa frowned all the way and got in Mr. Su's car.
"My grandson also came with me from Bekki, saying that he wanted to keep an eye on my daily life and diet. This meal was invited by him. You can just treat it as normal food later. Don't be nervous." The old man took off his doctor's white coat and became kind.
Hearing this, Nelissa seriously thought that she must grab this meal and bury it. No matter how expensive it was, it couldn't hurt her.
The restaurant was a splendid Chinese restaurant.
Nelissa got out of the car and frowned slightly. This was a restaurant opened by Jason, and she had been there before.
"Let's go in," Mr. Su said. Nelissa looked away and followed him in. It seemed that as a boss, he did not often see Jason.
In a private room on the second floor, Charles was talking on the phone. When he saw Mr. Su and a young woman behind him, he hurriedly said, "Mr. Hales, I'll wait for you."
After the call ended, Charles put down his phone and looked at his grandfather. Then he looked at the young woman next to him and asked, "Grandpa, didn't you come to Haleston City for an operation? Why did you bring a girl to date me? Do you need to be so busy?"
Nelissa frowned. On the one hand, she did not like what Charles had said. On the other hand, she had heard his phone call earlier.
Mr. Su scolded seriously, "Nonsense. She is the family member of a patient like me. I invited her here because she hasn't had dinner yet." He pulled out a chair and sat down. He also asked the waiter to open another set of bowls and chopsticks. He saw four sets of chopsticks on the table and asked Charles, "Why is there one more person? Who else wants to come?"
Charles replied, "A friend of mine. He's a business partner of our company and well-known in Haleston City. Coincidentally, he's free tonight, so he wants to have a meal with us."
Mr. Su frowned and said, "Don't take your work to the family gathering."
"Aren't you the same?" Charles raised his chin and pointed at her.
Old Man Su remained silent.
Nelissa poured herself a cup of tea. She was not familiar with them, so she simply held the cup and looked at the floating tea leaves in a daze.
Charles was talking to his grandfather, but Nelissa didn't say a word or move. Charles felt a little cold to women and took the initiative to be polite to her, which was the so-called social circle. "My name is Charles, and he is my grandfather. I'm sorry for the misunderstanding just now."
Nelissa quickly came to her senses and shook her head with a smile. Her smile was just right, and she said lightly, "It's okay. My name is Nelissa."
Charles nodded slightly. "Nice to meet you." A few seconds later, he asked again, "What's wrong with your family? Is it very serious?"
Nelissa was stunned.
Boss Su had a square face and said unhappily, "Why are you talking so much?"
"I understand. I won't ask." Charles was just bored and tried to kill time. After his grandfather's retirement, he still abided by his professional instructions and never revealed the patient's secret. For a moment, there was nothing to say.
Perhaps because of Nelissa's presence, it was not convenient for Charles to talk to his grandfather about his family affairs. Nelissa kept on talking about the topic in her mind, but when she saw Elder Su's serious face, she backed off and continued to drink tea in a daze. She thought, "After this meal, I will go back to the hospital to accompany my mother and then go home. I don't know if Edward will be able to make it tonight."
The dishes were served, but there was still a person who did not come.
Charles said that he didn't have to wait. He just called and said that there was a traffic jam on the way.
So they picked up their chopsticks and ate for more than ten minutes before they arrived.
"I'm sorry, I'm late." Edward walked in with a black suit jacket on his arm. His white shirt was tied in his long black suit pants, making him look taller and taller. His handsome face was indifferent, and he didn't have much expression. He glanced at the private room, and his deep eyes became deep and fierce. "Nelissa?"
Charles asked curiously, "Do you know each other?"
Edward didn't even look at him. "She's my girlfriend." His tone was very overbearing. He stared at Nelissa and waved his big hand at her. "Come here."
Nelissa put down the bowl and chopsticks, walked to Edward obediently, took over the suit jacket on his arm, and held it in his arms, trying to please him with a guilty conscience. He didn't ask her why she was here. He touched her head with his big warm hand, then took her hand and sat down.
The waiter moved Nelissa's bowl and chopsticks to her. Edward picked up the cup she had drunk and drank the tea she had drunk.
Charles said with a deep smile, "It turns out to be your girlfriend. What a coincidence. She is the family of a patient brought by my grandfather."
Nelissa lowered her head and looked at the man's hand, which was holding hers. It was noble and beautiful. There was a wedding ring on his slender ring finger. She felt a little sweet in her heart, but she was also upset about it. Hey, Charles was also a person who wanted to stir up trouble.
Edward didn't have much of a reaction to Charles's words. He did remember that Nelissa had said that she had a relative in the hospital. He glanced at an old man. Charles introduced him to Grandpa Su, so he greeted him.
After chatting for a while, Charles asked someone to open a bottle of wine, then opened the cigarette box, took out a cigarette, and handed it to Edward. When men engaged in social activities, it was inevitable that they would smoke and drink. Generally, Edward would not refuse.
But...
He lowered his head and stared at Nelissa. She was staring at him, her brows furrowed. She knew that she was afraid of doing something wrong. His heart softened and he pushed away Charles's cigarette. "It's best if you don't smoke. There are women and old people here."
His words made Charles embarrassed to smoke here. He could tell that Edward loved his little girlfriend very much. From the moment he came in, his eyes were fixed on Nelissa, and he couldn't move his eyes away. He thought that Edward was like him, hiding from his family and blind dates. He didn't expect that he already had a girlfriend.
On the contrary, Mr. Su agreed with what Edward had said. He had never liked his grandson smoking too many cigarettes, which was harmful to his health. He asked Edward, "Your name is Edward? How long have you been with Nelissa?" Nelissa didn't know what to say. This question...
Charles also realized it and tried to smooth things over. "Sorry, my grandfather likes to be a matchmaker. He usually arrange blind dates for me when he has nothing to do. Now he likes gossip."
Mr. Su seemed to have thought of something, so he said, "I came to Haleston City to give you a chance to meet a few girls. If you have time, you can take some time to have a look."
Charles smiled bitterly. He wanted to live a carefree life for a few more years.
After the meal, Edward and Charles both drank a lot. Fortunately, they didn't drink much, so the bill was naturally made by Edward. Before leaving, it began to rain outside.
Edward answered Old Su's question in a low voice, "I've liked her for a long time."
Nelissa's heart was beating fast. Her white little hand was in the man's big hand, and her cheeks were slightly hot. She didn't know if he was drunk.
After listening for a while, Mr. Su came to his senses and nodded. Then he got in the car with his grandson, Charles, and left.
Nelissa didn't bring an umbrella, let alone Edward. Fortunately, the manager of the restaurant knew that Edward was a friend of Jason, the boss. He quickly took out an umbrella and handed it to Edward.
He seemed to be in a good mood, and the neon light of the night was reflected in his eyes.
He opened the umbrella, held it on Nelissa's head with his long hand, and blocked the rain for her. He stared at her in a low voice, and his eyes were lazy and deep. However, he did not speak, which was so ambiguous. Nelissa looked up at him and held his wide suit jacket in both hands. She asked embarrassedly, "Are you drunk?"
Edward suddenly took a step forward, holding an umbrella with one hand and holding Nelissa's slender waist with the other. His handsome face suddenly approached, and he kissed Nelissa's small mouth hard. The smell of alcohol and the man's breath strongly and overbearingly poured into Nelissa's small mouth. His lips and teeth were fiercely intertwined.
"Bessssssssssssssss
The dripping rain fell on the umbrella, like the sound of a warm heartbeat. It kept speeding up, and was disturbed by the man's sudden kiss, almost out of breath.
The perfectly matched lips slowly parted.
They slightly opened each other's breathing and entangled with each other.
Edward licked his lips as if he hadn't sprained his feet yet. His handsome face was stained with a man's wildness. He stared at Nelissa's red lips, looking dangerous and evil.
Nelissa's heart was beating wildly. She was sure that he was not drunk, but at least he was slightly drunk.
She quickly pulled Edward away. His legs were long and his hands were long, but he allowed her to pull. His left hand kept holding an umbrella for her, preventing her from getting wet.
In the parking lot.
Edward handed the car key to Nelissa and asked her to drive. He bent down and sat on the passenger's seat, leaning against the back of the chair. His long legs could not stretch out, his head slightly tilted back, and his sexy Adam's apple protruded.
Nelissa went to the door on the other side and inserted the key into the car. She looked at Edward, who was resting with her eyes closed, and asked with her eyes lowered, "Go... go to your place, or go to my place?" Edward opened his eyes and looked at her in a sexy manner. His thin lips whispered, "Go to my place. My bed is big."
Nelissa hated him and spoke so bluntly.
She started the luxury car, turned the steering wheel, and drove the car out. After the rush hour, the road was obviously much more loose and not blocked. After a few red lights, she went to Edward's villa in 30 minutes. As usual, he went into the garage.
Nelissa put out the fire and the car was pitch-black. Edward recovered his senses and opened his eyes. They were clear and bright.
Nelissa poked Edward's arm with her thin fingers and asked, "Are you drunk? If you're not, go in by yourself. I can't lift you even if you're drunk."
Edward said lazily, "I'm a little drunk."
"Oh." Nelissa suddenly remembered Jolene's words. A drunk man basically lost his surname. She burst into laughter.
