Tangled Up In Blue

Chapter 47 Come Here Closer

Poppi smiled faintly with some helplessness and laughter, "these are all written when I was bored. Most of them are feeble groaning without illness. I feel it unreasonable to look back by myself."

"No, I think it's great." There was still tenderness in his eyes.

"Shirley said she would feel bitter from my writing." Poppi could not help laughing.

Hugh didn't say anything but stared at her. He thought maybe he only saw the surface of her and could find out whether her heart was as throbbing as what was written on the paper?

The weather forecast said that it wouldn't rain today. As expected, they couldn't believe it. Look, outside the window, it seemed that the bean sized rain would swallow the heaven and earth. The people in and out of the office were all wet. The umbrella in their hands was still wet with water, one drop, two drops

In such a rainy day, I was always unwilling to go out. I either slept in the dark room or stood at the window to watch the rain. The rain is moving, but I am quiet.

"I saw a car almost hit someone on my way here. It's raining."

"I saw a man give his umbrella to a girl that he don't know. She didn't take an umbrella. It's raining."

I like to hear all kinds of stories about rain, which remind me of some moments that I've met or missed, although far away and clear.

At dusk, the world in front of him was even more chaotic. In the mist, there were neon lights, car lights, and colorful umbrellas in the hands of passers-by were all like old memories, which had been separated from the world for a long time. ——It was a jotting by Poppi.

"Haha..."

Malcolm let out an almost imperceptible chuckle, his eyes fixed on the phone screen. At the moment he got on the car and went back home, he took out his cell phone to search online Poppi's account. Just as what Hugh said, Poppi would update some casual essays on her forum home page from time to time. That article about "rain" was especially not her style.

Maybe this was the style of Poppi, she was just good at camouflage in front of him.

Malcolm took back his phone and blinked. After a few seconds, he closed his eyes.

"Here we are, Mr. Malcolm." They didn't know how long it took. They drove back to the Imperial Tang Yard. Malcolm nodded and opened the door to get out of the car.

"You can go back now. Tomorrow Saturday? " Malcolm asked.

"Yes, Mr. Malcolm." Sean nodded.

"You don't have to pick me up." Then he looked up to the seventh floor.

"Okay." Sean nodded again. After watching Malcolm walk into the building, he got on the car and drove away.

Bang

Malcolm pressed the fingerprint lock, and the door of the apartment opened. However, the room was empty, except that there was no one, only a dim small light on. Edward turned on the light, changed into slippers and went to the bedroom on the second floor. As expected, poppi was not there.

No wonder he didn't text her back home.

Simon took off his coat, loosened his tie and threw it on the bed. Then he turned around and went downstairs.

The apartment was so quiet that he could only hear his own footsteps.

He suddenly remembered what poppi told him a long time ago. She said that she was lonely to live in such a big house and wanted to keep a dog. It was his duty to refuse her. How could she keep a dog!

Later, poppi said that in order not to be so lonely, she developed the habit of turning on TV first when she went home.

When she was thinking about this, Malcolm came to the living room and touched the remote control. Without hesitation, he turned on the TV and mumbled, "when did the woman poppi say that? You remember her words so clearly..."

It was buzzing on the TV. Malcolm put on his slippers, went to the kitchen, took out a glass of boiled water from the fridge, and poured himself some.

The whole act was so simple, natural, elegant and indifferent.

"As far as the concerned department of power group is concerned, it's reported that George came back to Jingshi city a few days ago, and he has been determined to take over the temporary CEO of power group. And the cooperation between the Leng group and the wind international group was about to get on the agenda, or to change the biggest situation of the electronic industry, the mayor. Today, we have invited an expert... "

The voice on the TV shocked Malcolm. He laughed sarcastically. When he was on a business trip, Benson has come back. Poppi this woman…… I guess she has known it?

What's more, it was a coincidence to watch TV recently. She turned on the TV just because she didn't want to hear the news. To change the monopolistic situation of the SG Group? Malcolm sneered. It depended on whether they were capable enough to do that. Just in a second, Malcolm acted as if

nothing had happened. He drank some water and the cool water slid down his throat, making his Adam's apple roll over. He looked very sexy beyond description.

"Oh, I'm so full!" On the other side, in the dining room, Poppi patted her stomach to relax and said, "I haven't eaten so much for a long time."

"Did you enjoy the food?" He wiped his mouth with a tissue, his eyes full of smile.

"Of course, I'm happy!" Poppi suddenly nodded her head.

"That's good." After saying that, Hugh took a closer look at Poppi and frowned, "come here."

"What? What's wrong? " Confused, Poppi leaned her body forward.

At this moment, Hugh stretched out his hand and put it on the table. He gently rubbed the corner of Poppi's mouth with his finger and said, "no matter how you eat, you just like a child."

The gentle touch on her face almost numbed half of her body. Stunned, she called out his name, "Hugh..."

"I don't know." Staring at the corners of her mouth carefully, Hugh seemed to be asking himself this question. He answered, "in fact, I'm not a gentle person. Sometimes, I'm a little childish and I don't want to get into trouble, so I ask others to take care of me most of the time. But when it comes to you, I'm always willing to do it. Tell me, why? "

Hugh put down his hand and touched the temperature on Poppi's face, "I think it probably because we are soul mates? What do you think? "

"That's more like it! Bosom friends! " It took Poppi a long time to regain her composure from shock and madness. She reached out and wiped the place where Hugh had just touched and smirked, "it's easy to get money, but it's hard to find a soul mate."

Tinkle……

The cell phone's voice just eased the embarrassment of Poppi. She quickly took it out and saw it was a message from Malcolm.

"Why haven't you come back? I want to eat shrimp dumplings today. You'd better come back as soon as possible. "

Mr. Malcolm ordered the dishes in home! While feeling shocked, Poppi found the message she just ignored. Then she checked it again. It was from Malcolm. He sent it almost an hour ago.

"I will go to the Imperial Tang Yard today. You come back to cook for me." All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

"What's wrong?"

"Oh my God It's time to go home. " Poppi looked up and said, "Mr. Su, how about we come here first today? My treat. "

"It's my first time to dine with you alone. Can I let you treat me?" Shaking his head, he said with a smile, "besides, you bought a car at a high cost. It's my treat."

A sense of shyness overwhelmed her, and she said regretfully, "I was really out of my mind today. I even missed the zero."

"It's okay. If it's not enough..."

"No problem, It's enough!" "Mr. Su, don't say that anymore. I can handle the money. Let's go! "

"…… Okay. "

Hugh drove Poppi back to the Imperial Tang Yard and stopped at the gate of the housing estate. After waving farewell to Poppi, he got back in the car, took out his mobile phone and called to Malcolm.

"What's wrong?" Malcolm answered the phone unhurriedly.

"Malcolm, I've found a real estate and want to buy it. You're familiar with Ye city, so please help me to select one." Hugh started to look around the block.

"Where?" Malcolm asked.

"Imperial Tang Yard."

Malcolm smiled unhappily. "There are too many houses in the Imperial Tang Yard were sold. Three stages of construction are still waiting to be completed. If you want to buy a house in this areas, you need to wait for three or five years!"

Holding the steering wheel, Hugh frowned and asked confusedly, "how do you know so clearly?"

"The security system of this community is developed and cooperated by the SG Group. And the real estate developer gave me an apartment. I know it for sure. "

"Okay!" Hugh nodded and smiled in surprise, "how about your house? Are you using it now? How about giving it to me? "

Malcolm's face darkened. He knew there was no need for him to do that, and all he needed to do was to refuse. However, he said against his will, "I don't use it. I already gave it to someone else."

"Give it to others?! Who is it? " "It's a man or a woman?"

"Woman." Malcolm said it expressionlessly, but he was feeling a little depressed in his heart.

"Woman?! 'fuck! Which woman? !" Shocked by his words, Hugh said, "Mr. Si, Mr. Malcolm, I thought you were being so serious. Tell me, what kind of woman is she? Was she pretty? Why didn't you take her with you? "

Malcolm happened to catch a glimpse of the photo on which Poppi was put on. He snorted, "she's not beautiful. She's annoying."

"…… Then you should give her a house! You are wasting God's treasure!" Shouted Hugh.

"I have sent her already. Can I take it back from her now?"

"Look at yourself. Are you regretful now? You deserve it! " "Well, that's all I want to ask you. Let me take a look at other houses."

"Yes." Malcolm nodded and hung up. Regret? He never regretted.

Bang

Before long, the door was opened. Poppi rushed in in in a hurry. When she saw him come back from a business trip, she didn't feel that he had come back from a long journey. She sighed and said, "Mr. Malcolm, you are back from a business trip? Are you feeling good? I am so sorry! I thought you wouldn't come tomorrow is weekend. "

"Where have you been? Didn't you receive my message? " Looking at Poppi, Malcolm sat on the sofa and felt a little distressed. 'the reason why Hugh bought a house is really because of Poppi, isn't it?

"I went to buy a car." After putting on her slippers, Poppi sighed and said, "the shrimp dumplings you want to eat will be ready in 30 minutes. I remember there are shrimps in the fridge. Do you eat much? "
