Chapter 501 Test
James smiled kindly to Tina: “ What a good girl.”
Tina then pursed her lips and gave her lollipop: “Mom, help me unwrap this.”
Gloria took it and asked James while helping her to rip it apart: “Why are there candies in your office?”
“Aside from adults, my patients also consist of children.” James answered with straight face and then asked her : “ Tell me, what's your intention?”
Gloria slightly frozen: “ Am I not allowed to come for chat?”
“It’s hard to understand, do you really come just to chat?” James’ smile didn’t change, but his eyes showed otherwise.
Gloria sighed helplessly : “ I find it embarrassing to hear you say that, I really come here because of something.”
As she finished speaking, she handed out an invitation letter from her bag to James.
“This Friday, Kenny will host a dinner, I am hoping you can join.”
James glanced at the invitation letter, with an unchanging expression then said : “ Kenny asked you to give it to me?”
Gloria’s eyes flickered then watched her silently.
“ You know Kenny and I never gets along, naturally he wouldn’t particularly invite me to the dinner party that he host. Of course, Kenny asked you to give this to me.”
James curled his lips then smiled with a mischievous look on his face : “Kenny, this person, is really interesting, It is obvious that he doesn’t want me to meet you, then deliberately asked you to come over
and send the invitation letter in person, I really don’t get him.”
Gloria came to realize, none of these men that she knew is good.
James’ origin is unknown and more brilliant than anyone, doesn’t have an ill intention towards her, but Gloria knew, everything that James did must have a reason to it.
In the same way, everything Kenny did has a reason to it.
Gloria stared for the moment while frowned slightly, her expression suddenly changed as if something came to her mind.
James noticed the change on her expression : “ What happened?”
“Nothing.” Gloria raised the corner of her lips, smiled reluctantly : “ I need to go back already since I still have things to do. See you later.”
“ I’ll drop you off, did you drive here?”, James also stood up, picked up the jacket on the back of the chair and walked out with Gloria.
Gloria said: “You don’t need to drop me off. I drove here”,
“I’ll send you off.”
James didn’t listen to Gloria, then sending both mother and daughter to the car.
When he returned, the lady at reception laughed and teased him : “Doctor James, Ms. Gloria came here especially to see you.”
“ Yeah right, she came especially to see me then left after sitting not more than ten minutes.” , James accepted her words without taking any offence
When he returned to his office, his smile faded.
Went to the chair behind his desk then sat down, James curled his lips and smirked.
His eyes fixed on the invitation letter for a few seconds, then looked away.
Kenny wanted to kill two birds with one stone.
Not only he was testing Gloria, but he also tested him.
Now that everyone had shown their cards, he naturally wants to join the fight.
……
Gloria was driving a bit fast on her way home.
Tina was sitting on the back seat, falling asleep after eating candy.
By the time the car reached the end of the block, Kenny’s car happened to be on his way there.
Gloria checked the time and it happened to be half past five.
Kenny was coming home after work. Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
She got off the car, on the other side Kenny also happened to getting off the car at the same time, then looked at Gloria after getting off.
Both of them stared at each other, their expression was not good.
Shi Ye looked at Gloria, then looked at Kenny, asked hesitatingly : “Young Master?”
Kenny looked stern then said: “ Just go.”
After Shi Ye left, Kenny went towards Gloria then asked : “ Where’s Tina?”
He spoke with the usual tone and voice, but his eyes expressed differently, like there was a suspicious look surging from his pitch black eyes.
“She’s asleep.”
Gloria turned around then opened the rear door, and was about to lean over to carry Tina.
She was about to stretch her hands out when her wrist was caught by Kenny : “Please let me.”
After finished speaking, he added : “ Recently, she gained weight again.”
“ What do you mean? She is normal and healthy.” Gloria glared at him, but then stepped aside.
Kenny unfastened the seat belt on the children seat, then carried Tina out.
Tina slept soundly and didn’t wake up as she was carried by Kenny.
Tina leaned on Kenny’s shoulder, Kenny has a good arm, he has no problem of carrying Tina firmly by holding her legs in one arm.
Gloria followed behind, closing the door then locked the car before going up.
Kenny had already pressed the elevator button when she caught up.
She stood half a step behind Kenny and waited for the elevator with him.
Although the distance between both of them is not far, Kenny could feel that Gloria is deliberately pulling herself away from him.
He slightly raised his eyebrows with his eyes darkened a bit.
There’s nothing but silence between them until they reached their apartment /room.
Kenny carried Tina who was sleeping soundly into her room, when he came out, he saw Gloria sitting on the sofa instead of cooking, as if she was going to have a long conversation with him.
Kenny walked over and sat opposite her.
Gloria raised her eyes and stared at him.
With that calm and unchanging look on Kenny’s face even if Mount Taishan collapsed upon him, it is impossible to wait him to start the conversation.
Gloria start impatiently :” I have sent the invitation letter to James personally. Are you satisfied now?”
Her voice was originally soft, but when she was uncomfortable, she sounded deliberately soft.
Kenny’s face suddenly turned cold, looking irritated he then stretched out his hand and pulled his tie off roughly.
Throwing off his tie aside, he said in cold tone :” There’s a fair chance for you to meet him, shouldn’t you be satisfied?”
Feeling angry of mentioning it, he didn’t even want to mention James’ name.
Gloria’s eyes dimmed a little.
Sure enough as what she has thought earlier, Kenny was testing her.
He was never a big-hearted person in the matters that comes to her, so it is impossible for him to just simply asked her to send the invitation letter to James.
He was testing Gloria.
In his opinion, he and James never gets along then Gloria was not supposed to have any contact with James.
Needlessly to say, Gloria can guess what Kenny has been thinking the whole time.
He must’ve felt that she had another intention toward James when she promised to send the invitation letter personally. On the other hand, she could show her sincerity if she refused to do it in the first place.
Gloria found it ridiculous, but at the same time she also felt pathetic.
