Billionaire's Reborn Baby -
Chapter 367 Wait for me
When Emily got out of the car, she looked back.
Harold asked, "What's wrong, Miss Emily?"
"Nothing." Emily withdrew her gaze.
She walked into the Britt's. The butler and Susan greeted her at the entrance. She nodded slightly and entered the living room without saying anything.
Harold came in and walked to the sofa, whispering to her, "It's Eliot."
"I see. Go rest. If Noah gets any progress, let me know," she said expressionless.
"Sure."
Emily stayed in the living room for a moment. Susan brought her hot milk and fruit. Then she asked, "Are you tired? Would you like to go upstairs and rest?"
"No."
"I'm at your service." Susan turned around and entered the kitchen.
"OK."
After sitting on the sofa for a while, she walked out of the living room. She ignored the butler's confused gaze and left the house. Then, she asked Eliot, who was still across the road, "Would you like to come in for a cup of tea?"
The butler was stunned.
Eliot was also standing behind a tree, embarrassed.
Five minutes later.
Susan served Eliot with a cup of hot tea. She put it on the table and said to Eliot, "Sir... the tea you like, please."
"Thank you." Eliot thanked her politely.
"You were waiting for me?" Emily asked. The expression on her face made her far from a simple girl. She didn't look aloof, nor friendly. However, it could be seen that her eyes were full of tenderness. "Yes." Eliot stroked the edge of the teacup.
"For what?"
"I knew it," he said.
Emily raised her head and frowned, seemingly puzzled.
"Sydnee told me everything." He put down the teacup and gazed at her sincerely. "How long are you going to hide it from me?"
No, he was lying.
Sydnee promised that she wouldn't tell anyone.
However, Eliot must have discovered something and didn't confirm it from Sydnee, so he ... came to bluff her.
Nineteen hours ago.
Eliot was reading documents on the sofa when he suddenly received a call from Sydnee. Her voice was full of dramatics.
"Hey, darling, are you busy?"
п
"Well, I told you I was going to my class reunion tonight. My classmates were curious about you, and... they want to hear your voice. Just say hello to them, please."
He could tell Sydnee's awkwardness in the call.
But he was pleased to see that Sydnee first thought of him, rather than that police, in such a situation.
He looked at his watch and asked, "Where are you?"
Sydnee seemed to smile awkwardly at her classmates. Then, she covered the phone and whispered, "Just say hello. They're all here..."
"Where is the reunion?" Eliot interrupted her, "Shall I pick you up?"
He seemed to feel the shock of Sydnee. She kept smiling awkwardly, gritted her teeth and said, "Didn't you make an appointment with a customer tonight? Go ahead." Some classmates who were listening to the conversation realized that Sydnee's boyfriend was coming. They immediately shouted to the phone.
"We're at the K Beef in SM Center!"
Sydnee chuckled and said to Eliot, "Okay. I'll let you go. Bye. I'll be back soon."
But she heard....
"Wait for me."
Sydnee stared at her phone, as if the man was not Eliot.
What happened to this man?
"Hey, Sydnee, what does your boyfriend do?" The other students asked her excitedly.
"We all thought you were cold in school. We didn't expect you to replace a boyfriend secretly. What does he do? Is he from City Y?"
"Any photos? Why don't you show us?"
"What's his name?"
"Why are you asking so many questions? She said he would come and pick up her. Be patient. We'll see him soon." What the student said was very sarcastic. Of course, she didn't believe Sydnee could replace a good man. Ever since her incident with Marquise, she seemed to be connected with the Quinns. And there was no result. Nobody would accept a woman who was dumped by two men. However, that phone call did not seem to be fake. And the man's voice was very pleasant without accent. The voice sounded gentle but serious. He was certainly not an ordinary person. Actually, this day was a coincidence.
Sydnee did not intend to attend the reunion. Instead, she simply came here to buy thin jackets for her parents, only to be seen by the classmates sitting at the window.
Thus, she was invited in. She didn't even have time to say no.
Afterwards, everyone was chatting about their boyfriends. The male students sat in the back row and heard the girls asking Sydnee if he had a boyfriend and joking with her about being together with a classmate who probably had feelings for her.
The joke was a kind of insult.
Sydnee was not stupid, so she called the young policeman. However, the young policeman was busy and did not answer. She wanted to call Harold, but considering the relationship between Harold and Emily, she was worried that Emily would be involved. In the end, she determined to call Eliot.
He just needed to admit he was her boyfriend on the phone.
The plan was originally perfect.
However, Sydnee never thought that Eliot would come over!
He was crazy, wasn't he?!
Or did he not get the hint on her phone?
