Chapter 8 Strove away
Louis Carter gazed at the girl whose eyes were blurred.
"You are such a cheap girl."
He let go of her body feeling disgusted.
Then he became as calm as he used to be.
Jessica couldn't help trembling.
She sobered a lot when she felt the cool.
But her face was blushed with shame.
There was no doubt that what Louis said hurt her.
She forced herself to smile and bore the headache without arguing with him.
Louis Carter went to the washbasin next to her elegantly, turned on the tap.
He washed his hands.
It seemed that he would like to wash his hands thoroughly after he had touched Jessica.
He seemed to be a neat freak.
Especially to girls.
After washing his hands, he looked in the mirror and adjusted his clothes slowly and elegantly. It seemed like that he changed into the other man. After that, he strove away and didn't look at Jessica anymore.
At the moment he pulled the door open,
Jessica said, "your jacket..."
He peeked at the white jacket and replied in a cold tone, "I would never keep something that it is already dirty."
Then he strove away...
Jessica paused for a minute then she realized that that was sarcasm.
Actually, she wanted to say that she would send the jacket back to him by express when she washed it.
She smiled bitterly and she just reaped the fruits of her actions.
What's worse, she had offended someone she wasn't supposed to.
She tried hard to stand up and covered herself tightly with that discarded and expensive jacket.
At the moment she jumped from the washbasin, she felt that everything was spinning.
Then she passed out and fell on the ground...
It was the darkest night.
The Empire Hotel
The elevator opened when it arrived at the top of the hotel.
Louis Carter stepped out of the elevator.
After the banquet, a bit of tiredness could be slightly seen from his delicate and gorgeous face.
But he perfectly hid it.
A man who was following at his back was a strong man.
"Master, there are couples of companies giving me their architectural drawings in today's banquet, and they want you to have a look at it." Keith Miller put many architectural drawings into his pocket and he looked at Louis carefully.
However, Louis didn't have a look at them at all.
Keith Miller apologized in a hurry, "sorry, master. I know I wasn't supposed to do that, since the Shine Project means a lot to you..." "Why did you do it since you already knew it?"
Louis said in a low voice lazily.
And he cut in what Keith was saying coldly.
"But, there are so many companies of construction industry are fighting with each other so as to get the project, and Mr. Carter seemed to be unhappy..." Keith Miller didn't deny that it was Louis's father who told those companies to give him the architectural drawings.
"It's none of my business!"
Louis snorted and then kept walking the corridor to the corner.
Keith Miller didn't dare to take those drawings out and showed them to Louis.
He kept following Louis at his back.
Then Keith summoned up courage and asked,
"Mater, are you sure that you are not going back tonight? Mr. Carter said Miss Murphy would come tonight, and he asks you to come back home..." Louis stopped suddenly.
And the air was cooled down.
It was obvious that Keith pissed Louis off since he kept mentioning his father.
Louis peeked at him with his hollow eyes.
"This is the third time that you've mentioned it! Keith, are you working for me or you are just a puppet of my dad?"
Louis lifted his eyebrows feeling annoyed.
But he was back to be as cool as usual quickly.
What he meant was that he didn't want to hear that one more time.
Keith lowered his head down perplexedly and it seemed like that Louis wouldn't go back home tonight.
"I am sorry, master."
Keith knew Louis's temper very well since he had been working for him for a long time.
But he was a bit worried when he thought that he would be scolded by Mr. Carter.
Louis peeked at Keith and he knew that what Keith was worrying about.
He stepped forward and he said to Keith until he got to the presidential suite.
"If he urges me to come home, you just tell him that I am drunk."
Keith immediately stood upright and he finally showed a smile when he heard what Louis said.
He didn't expect that Louis would help him out.
"Yes, master!" Then he took out the room card, "Let me open the door for you."
The red sandalwood door which was carved with a dragon pattern opened automatically.
Louis went inside the room.
Keith was standing at the door and tried to hedge.
"Mater...Matthew asked me to remind you that he had already learned all the lessons of grade six. So, I guess you should let go of his pet, since it have been penned up for a month..." Matthew was just five years old! The kids at the same age of him weren't old enough to study in primary school.
But he already graduated from primary school.
He inherited the superior lineage from the Carters.
Keith admired him so much.
Louis slightly lifted his eyebrows.
Then he peeked at him.
But he became a bit soft, "He did? But he starts to know how to blackmail me."
"Matthew doesn't dare to do that, but I notice that it is over a month and he asks me to remind you, master..."
Keith was so nervous that he kept sweating.☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
