Chapter 67
Cooperation "You are talking nonsense."
Alma gritted her teeth and felt that the people around her were laughing at her.
At this moment, a cold figure walked out of the lift, followed by Keith. "He is here. You can ask him yourself." Lyra calmly raised her chin, looking as if she was staying out of it. "Hank, what exactly is going on? The relationship between you and her has already completely ended, hasn't it?" Alma pulled him back.
From the moment Lyra went to jail a year ago, their relationship had ended. Lyra grabbed the melon seeds on the table. She hadn't eaten since that evening and was a little hungry now. "I will tell you in the future. Tomorrow is the Fashion Week. You go back to your room and rest early." Hank comforted Alma.
"But..."
She still wanted to say something, but Hank had already pulled her hand down. Alma looked up and met his cold gaze. She had no choice but to reply, "Alright, I understand."
She suppressed the strange feeling in her heart. Before she went into the lift, she glanced at Lyra. There was a very complicated emotion hidden in her eyes. Lyra did not take it seriously and continued to eat the melon seeds in her hand. "I asked Keith to arrange a room for you." Hank walked directly to her.
"Thank you."
"I will do my best for tomorrow."
"That's for the best." Hank's gaze was fixed on her face. Keith walked forward and placed the room card in front of Lyra. "This is in the name of Mr. Barnwell."
Lyra narrowed her eyes and kept the room card. Hank really wanted to ask her why she didn't choose to ask for the money. Before he could say anything, he saw Nore rush in from outside.
He grabbed Lyra's shoulder and looked at her carefully as if no one else was there. "Are you alright? Are you hurt anywhere?"
His anxiety and nervousness were all written on his face.
In order to protect Lyra, he had tossed and turned for the whole night. At this time, his face was haggard. Seeing that she was unharmed, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. "In the future, don't do such risky things, okay?" he said in a low voice.
No one knew how he survived the year when Lyra was imprisoned.
He practiced crazily in the racing field every day. Only in this way could he ensure that he had no time to think about her.
"Don't worry, I won't go to jail again," Lyra said, patting his back. "How did you..."
Halfway through his words, he noticed Hank, who was standing next to her, and frowned. "Did he do it?"
"Yes."
"Mr. Barnwell and I are now partners, although it will be very short." Lyra naturally admitted.
"I warned you to stay away from her)" Nore said, turning to look at Hank with hostility. "Remember your promise," said Hank, his expression unchanged. Then, he turned and went upstairs.
"What did you promise him? Did he threaten you?" Nore frowned, worried that Lyra would fall into Hank's hands again. "It's just a small matter." As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Xu Ya walk in from outside the door. "Sister Lyra, welcome back. I've put away all your things. Which room are you staying in now? I'll send them to you!" Xu Ya almost couldn't smile anymore.
"Outsiders will think that I have a good relationship with Miss Xu." Lyra tsked. "Sister Lyra, you must have misunderstood me. I didn't say it!" Xu Ya panicked and explained. She even hid behind Nore. "Brother Nore knows it. I have been asking my father to help and save you."
"Indeed. If not for the Xu family, we wouldn't have found a lawyer." Nore nodded. "Then I have to thank you." Lyra raised her eyebrows and took out the room card that Hank had given her just now. "1505, get all my things back right now. I won't let you off easily if there's one less." Around them, MON's employees saw Lyra's attitude towards Xu Ya. They started discussing again. “This Lyra is really an ingrate. Xu Ya is busy helping her. What is her attitude?" "Is that man Lubi family's young master? He seems to be Xu Ya's blind date. Why is his relationship with Lyra so good? A love triangle?"
Xu Ya was so angry that her face turned red.
"Okay, I'll get them right away." Then, she ran into the lift with tears in her eyes.
"I've already let her off because of you." Lyra looked at Nore coldly. Nore didn't know what to say. "You don't have to think about me." He trusted Lyra. Originally, he did not intend to be related to Xu Ya. She ordered some food at the front desk and put it all on Hank's account. Ten minutes later. Hank learned that he had been brutally 'slaughtered' by Lyra. "What did she order?"
"Lobster fried noodles, abalone soup, crab, and fish. Everything that could be ordered was ordered." Keith adjusted the frame glasses. This amount was enough for four or five people to eat. "Forget it, it will only be two days at most. Let her eat her fill," said Hank.
Presumably, since the Jones family went bankrupt, she had not had a chance to eat these things. Hank rolled up his sleeves and was about to start working when he heard that the next room was very lively. It was Lyra's room.
"What is she doing?"
"Miss Jones is treating all of MON's employees in the room, except Xu Ya," Keith replied. Hank's face sank. She was using his money to establish connections?
He arranged for Lyra to stay in the room next to his so that he could keep an eye on her at all times in order not to be fooled by her.
Unexpectedly, he was the one who was drawing the fire upon himself. "Mr. Barnwell, I'll tell them to keep their voices down." "No need," Hank said as he pulled off his tie. He walked out with his coat in hand. As soon as he opened the door, he heard the sound of Lyra drinking heartily in the next room. She seemed to be singing.
The door was opened by a crack. He just happened to see Lyra jumping around on the sofa. He had never seen Lyra like that. If it were before, he would have contemptuously thought that she had gone crazy because the Jones family had gone bankrupt. Now, he had to admit that he had changed his opinion of her.
Hank narrowed his eyes. Although he had accidentally let Lyra take advantage of the loophole this time, every move she took was worthy of scrutiny. All the connections she could make use of were used by her and she finally achieved her goal. If it were someone else, would they still be able to laugh in Lyra's situation? Xu Ya carried Lyra's bag and walked out of the lift. She saw Hank standing at her door, still looking inside. She suddenly thought of something. "Hello, Mr. Barnwell. My name is Xu Ya." "What's the matter?" Hank retracted his gaze and glanced at her. His tone was cold. His words made Xu Ya tremble in her heart. As early as when she was on the plane, she had felt that the relationship between Hank and Lyra was very subtle.
Xu Ya felt that Alma was no match for Lyra, so it was better to let Lyra and Hank rekindle their old relationship so that she could have a chance to get close to Nore.
Thinking of this, she revealed a friendly smile.
"This is Sister Lyra's bag. Can I trouble Mr. Barnwell to help me hand it over?"
