Chapter 27 Warmth
Chapter 27 Warmth
After changing her shoes at the vestibule, Kelley glanced at Allen's house. The sofa and carpet were grey, and the closet was black. It was either grey or black. It was very depressing. Kelley couldn't imagine that such a calm and restrained person like Allen would have such a house. No wonder he said he had a lot of helplessness in the hospital that day. It seemed that he must be unhappy deep in his heart.
"Do you want to have a rest first? We don't need to hurry to have dinner." Allen walked to the sofa and sat down, motioning for Kelley to sit down and have a rest.
Taking a look at the clock on the wall, Kelley found that it was about four o'clock in the afternoon and it was already late, so she shook her head and said, "You have been driving all the way. I'm not tired at all. You have a rest first. I'll cook for you."
Allen smiled, "Okay. Do you need my help?"
"No, No. You just sit there and wait to have dinner." Kelley took out an apron from one of the shopping bags and put it on. It was just a meal, and her cooking skill was already trained well by madam, so she didn't need anyone to help her.
Allen sat on the sofa and watched Kelley walking towards the kitchen with bags of food. He couldn't tell what kind of feeling it was. There was a faint joy, and a faint satisfaction. He had never felt such a warm moment before.
Through the sliding door made of glass in the kitchen, he could vaguely see the dexterous and beautiful figure inside. Allen put his hand on his forehead and asked himself, "Is she really just a pet that I want to dote on?" Her beauty made Allen feel that his heart was gradually wavering. Pet? He didn't know how long he could deceive himself like this, but he just didn't dare to face it. He didn't dare to face the so-called feelings. How could he have feelings? How could it be?
Thinking of this, Allen stood up and walked to his study. A few minutes later, he came out of the study with a few magazines and put them on the tea table in front of the sofa. Then he turned on the TV and set the channel to the financial channel. As the most front line city in H Country, J City naturally became the focus of financial programs. In this city, the best enterprises in all industries of H Country were gathered.
The economy of H Country was just like this. Several first tier cities were seriously over-burdened. All famous enterprises and government organizations gathered in several first tier cities like J City, while it was difficult to find some decent enterprises in the other two or three tier cities. As time went by, people in the whole H Country had already known that if they wanted to expand a company, they had to go to a first-line city like J City. If they wanted to seize the market, they had to first establish themselves in a first-line City, and if they had to work hard to earn money, they had to first consider a first-line city.
The content of today's financial program was very simple. It broadcast several large enterprises in J City. These enterprises used to be the giants of J City. They used to be domineering, leading the trend of their industry and monopolizing most of the market in their industry. They were the big tax holder in J City. However, recently, these enterprises happened to appear many times in succession in J City. The problem was that there were many problems in its operation. It was too late for the government to get involved and support it. Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.
The financial commentary was very worried about this phenomenon. Sitting on the spot of the program, he said with a serious look on his face. If the business crisis of these giant enterprises was deliberately provoked by foreign enterprises, it would be too terrible. If the business of J City fell, the economy, people's livelihood and even the tax of the entire H Country would suffer an unprecedented cold winter. If it was not provoked by a foreign enterprise, but no one in the country had such a method.
Obviously, the commentary of the financial program had made it clear that he felt that the business crisis of these giant enterprises was caused by someone.
Allen sat on the sofa, tapping the armrest of the leather sofa with his fingers from time to time. A faint smile played at the corners of his mouth. "Henry, you're so fast. You've messed up J City in less than a month! Fortunately, I wouldn't have a conflict with him this time." Allen thought. Allen was not afraid of being against Henry, but he was really tired and wanted to live a free and comfortable life. After this winter, he would be thirty years old.
After the financial program on TV, there were advertisements one by one. Allen sat on the sofa calmly and stared at the figure behind the sliding glass door of the kitchen absentmindedly.
When the clock on the wall in the living room was about to point to six, Kelley opened the kitchen door and greeted Allen, "Allen, dinner is ready. Come and serve the dishes."
With a doting smile, Allen stood up and walked to the kitchen. There were six exquisite dishes on the European style cupboard. The meat and vegetables were well matched, and the fragrance was overflowing. Kelley took out the china bowl and chopsticks from the shopping bag and washed them under the tap. She said, "Fortunately, we bought bowls and chopsticks, or we two will eat them directly with hands."
Allen brought the dishes one by one to the dining room outside the kitchen. The faint warmth in his heart became stronger and stronger when he saw and smelled these delicate dishes. There was a lamp on in the house, delicious food on the table, and a beautiful woman walking around. Wasn't this the scene that he had imagined occasionally many years ago?
Kelley took off her apron and put the china bowl with cute cartoon characters on the table. With a pair of chopsticks on each bowl, she said happily, "Allen, the dinner is ready. Let's eat." She was so happy. For the first time, she cooked without scolding or criticism. For the first time, she could sit at the table and eat her own food after dinner. For the first time, she lived so easily.
Allen raised his head and gave a doting look at Kelley, "You are in a good mood today, aren't you? Do you want to open a bottle of wine to celebrate?"
"Okay, okay. I haven't drunk yet. How about red wine?" Kelley said.
Allen smiled, stood up and took out a beautiful rectangular box from the storage rack. It was a gift from his friend when he was on a business trip abroad last month.
The bright liquid danced in the crystal goblet. Kelley ran couldn't wait to pick up the goblet and have a taste. She frowned and said, "It looks good but it's really bad to drink. Why is it so bad?"
Allen smiled and took several more bottles of wine from the storage rack on a whim. He said to Kelley, "Since you cook for me tonight, I'll make some drinks for you."
