Chapter 238 Causing Trouble
After hanging up, Hellen returned to a pile of wood.
Lambert rubbed the wood and looked up at Hellen. He seemed to see through everything and said with a faint smile, “Did Hans call you?”
“Um.”
Lambert glanced at Hellen’s expression.
“Hans finally made some progress. Stubborn women will also eventually be conquered by men’s hot pursuit.”
Hellen stared. “Mr. Thompson, how can you say that?”
Lambert rubbed the wood with sandpaper in his hand and smiled.
“I thought you might not be able to accept Hans before, so I didn’t tell you. In fact, I think Hans is quite good. He took on so many things in the United Department of the Weststadt District in order not to make you tired.”
“In order to see you, he came to the United Department of the Weststadt District every day. It seemed that he didn’t know when you would come. But he had the perseverance to try his luck. It was not easy.”
It was almost the end of the workday. Hellen listened to Lambert nagging. Sometimes he slagged off Hans, and sometimes he complimented him. Finally, the treasure chest in her hand had been completed.
“Mr. Thompson, you seemed to dislike him, but actually you are praising him. I can tell it,” Hellen mumbled. “Your praise makes me feel as though you have accepted benefits from him.”
When it was time to get off work, Hellen held the secret box and walked out of the United Department of the Weststadt District with Lambert.
She drove Mr. Thompson back to his courtyard and left after she ate a bowl of noodles cooked by Mrs. Thompson.
On her way, Hellen’s phone rang.
She took a glance at the screen and saw that it was Darcy calling. She put on her headphones and answered the call.
“Hellen, where are you now?” Darcy’s voice was filled with excitement.
“What’s up?” Hellen asked.
“Have you read today’s Twitter?”
“Twitter? What happened?” Hellen’s brows knit together tightly.
Previously, because Natalie was always causing trouble, she had been constantly posted on Twitter’s top search.
Later, because of the account “Industrious Hellen”, she also went on top search several times.
Now, as soon as Hellen thought about the top search, she automatically felt that something bad had happened.
“No, look at Eddie’s Twitter now!”
Frowning, Hellen stopped the car at the side of the road, opened Twitter, and found Eddie’s account.
As the president of the Levi Group, Eddie was having a live interview.
When Hellen came into the broadcast room, she saw that the screen was filled with all sorts of topics regarding her.
[Industrious Hellen, isn’t that the daughter of the Jovano family?]
[Is Eddie’s ideal type her?]
[I think they’re a perfect match. Eddie is rich and handsome. Industrious Hellen is my favorite beauty!]
[But isn’t Industrious Hellen pregnant? Could the child in her belly be Eddie”s?]
[Agree with the upstairs. In Industrious Hellen’s broadcast room, there was a person on the leaderboard named Mr. Levi!]
Hellen looked at the screen that was full of comments about her. Although the topic about her in the live broadcast ended, she had a rough idea of what had happened.
The host had asked about Eddie’s ideal type.
As a result, he directly mentioned Industrious Hellen.
Hellen was so angry that her head hurt. Yesterday, she had made it clear to Eddie, but he had insisted that she was the ideal type when the host questioned him!
Hellen was worried about Hans’s reaction when he saw the live broadcast.
Yesterday, she finally managed to convince Hans not to target the Levi Group.
Darcy’s voice on the other end of the line was filled with excitement. “Hellen, Hellen, did you see that?”
“I saw it.” Hellen was so angry. She ground her teeth.
Darcy didn’t notice it at all. “I didn’t expect Eddie to be so romantic. Let me tell you, although Eddie was a playboy in Tempe City, he never admitted to having a woman with him. I think he might be serious about you.”
Hellen took a deep breath. “But I don’t like him. I never planned to date him. He pushed me into the topic like this!”
Because of her pregnancy, there were already some rumors in Tempe City. Now, it would be more rumors.
“Why don’t you like Eddie?” Darcy’s voice rang out. “In fact, although he didn’t have a good reputation before, he has restrained himself a lot recently. Besides, he has been on good terms with your brother for so many years. Although he looks like a playboy on the surface, his character is quite reliable.”
“Forget it, I can’t explain it to you. You just have to remember that Eddie and I will not be together,” Hellen replied. “I’m still driving, so I am going to hang up.”
After hanging up, Hellen drove the car a little irritably.
Of course, she knew that Eddie’s character was not bad, but she had no feelings for him.
When Hellen drove back to the Jovano mansion, she saw Granny Thomas sitting in the living room.
When Granny Thomas saw Hellen, she immediately waved her hand happily and said, “Hellen, come here. I’m watching Eddie’s live broadcast.”
Hellen rubbed her forehead. “Stop watching it, grandma.”Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
“What’s wrong? Hellen, when Eddie went to celebrate my birthday, I could tell that he was interested in you. What do you think?”
Granny Thomas asked with a smile. It was obvious that she was happy to see it happen.
Hellen rubbed her forehead and explained what she had told Darcy to her grandmother.
Granny Thomas felt a tinge of regret. “It’s a pity that you don’t have feel for him. Actually, feelings can be cultivated…”
Hellen hurriedly stood up. “Grandma, I’ll go wash up first. I’ll have dinner with you later.”
She hurried upstairs.
Eddie was really causing trouble for her.
After staying in the room for a while, Hellen went to take a bath and changed into a nightgown.
She watched the playback of Eddie’s live broadcast while drying her hair.
The conversation between Eddie and the host was exactly what she had imagined.
Hellen was so angry that she contacted Eddie on WhatsApp.
Hellen: [Eddie, what do you mean by your live broadcast today?]
Eddie replied instantaneously: [I knew you were coming to contact me.]
At the end of his words, he put on a cute emoji.
Hellen: [I think I made it very clear to you yesterday. I have no feelings for you.]
Eddie: [You have the right to reject, and I also have the freedom to pursue. Hellen, that will be fair.]
What was fair? She didn’t like him!
Hellen felt that she could not reason with Eddie.
She was considering how to type and send a message to tell Eddie that the two of them would never have a chance.
Another message popped up on WhatsApp.
Xeno: [Hellen, my sister].
Hellen sneered: [Sister?]
Xeno: [This is a nickname for my friend. A nickname!]
Xeno: [Come out for dinner tomorrow? Ask Eddie to come, too.]
Hellen frowned: [What do you want to do?]
Xeno: [Didn’t I ask you nicely? Why are you so vigilant? Tomorrow Charles will join, as well as Rosy and Carol.]
Hellen: [So, what do you want?]
