Trapped with a Doctor -
Chapter 154 She's My Girl
Daniel was being tailed by a few of his own subordinates, which lent him an ominous air.
Angela felt nervous and guilty. She lowered her head at once and said inwardly to herself, "Don't see me! Don't see me..." She was so nervous that she almost forgot that Arvin and Daniel were best friends. She just felt Arvin hold her, and with his other hand he reached out and shook Daniel's hand frenetically.
"Ahoy matey! When did you come here? Why didn't you tell me?" Daniel said.
Arvin smiled, "Well truth be told, it's just a provisional decision, and a mad-cap one at that! I came to cheer Angela up first and then I was going to call you." 'What? Why did he say that?'
Angela tried to take her hand back, but failed. Besides, she felt Daniel was looking at her, so she raised her head and smiled at him, "Daniel, what a coincidence!" 'Arvin and Angela?' Daniel was surprised.
Daniel looked at them and found everything he needed to know when he saw Arvin holding Angela's hand. He raised his hand and was going to touch Angela's hair... But, he was stopped. Arvin knew what Daniel was going to do, so he stopped him.
They looked at each other. Daniel smiled while Arvin felt unsatisfied.
It seemed that Angela and Arvin were, as they say in the movies, together. Daniel, as Angela's brother couldn't even touch her head.
Arvin was in love with her, and that meant exerting his full control to keep her as one of his possessions.
'Cold Arvin and cute Angela going out together... It's a very interesting turn of events indeed!' A large genuine smile spread across Daniel's face. "I'm going to see a friend. My uncle Joey's son. Arvin, you met him before. Tonight, I will call Jane, you and Angela, Jerry and Sven together. Let's have a party."
When he was finished, Angela opened her eyes, "Daniel, my brother, please don't... call Sven!" She didn't want Sven to see that she was with Arvin!
Daniel glanced at Arvin upon hearing her words. It seemed that Daniel was tacitly asking Arvin what had happened. Arvin looked at Daniel, "Since Angela doesn't want to see Sven, don't call him. We can still have a good time without him."
... 'No! I never say that I don't want to see my brother!' Angela cried inwardly.
When they said goodbye to Daniel, Angela got into an SUV with Arvin and left City of Rose.
"Where are we going?" She asked him out of curiosity.
"You'll replace it out."
The car stopped in a studio which was decorated in the Minguo style.
"You and Me Studio," read the signboard over the studio, which was engraved on an old tree root and hung over the door.
A middle-aged man in a black Sun Yat-sen suit was guarding the door and waiting for them. Maybe he knew about Arvin's mysophobia, because he wore a pair of disposable gloves to shake Arvin's hand with. "I knew you would come here today. So, I wore these pair of disposable gloves so that you needn't wash your hands later on!"
The man's voice sounded raspy. It was difficult to hear what he was saying if you didn't listen to him carefully.
Arvin reached out his hand, removed the man's gloves and held them in the air, "Uncle Culler, there's some powder on them! Are you sure they are prepared for me?"
The man laughed loudly and didn't felt embarrassed. Although it sounded horrible, he looked kind, "Wow, you've found it! Director Gu, the future of Yao Hospital must be very bright under your guidance!"
Arvin smiled and said nothing. Instead, he pulled Angela closer and introduced, "Uncle Culler, this is my girl!"
When she heard this introduction, Angela was so excited that she pinched his hand and her face turned red at once.
'His girl? Not girlfriend?' The middle-aged man took great care to notice these kinds of trip-ups in speech; he took Arvin's meaning very cautiously.
Uncle Culler took out his glasses, looked Angela up and down and nodded, "The girl looks good. I can see that she is an outgoing and cute girl from her eyes! She can have a better man! You are too emotionless and cold!"
Then, Uncle Culler asked Angela directly, "Little girl, I have a son who is just about your age. I want to introduce him to you..."
"Uncle Culler, where is the thing that I've ordered?" Arvin interrupted him coldly.
Angela thought Uncle Culler would break away and start talking to Arvin again once he'd been interrupted, but much to her distaste, Culler still stared at her, taking in her full form gradually. So Angela felt impelled to answer him, "Arvin will be unhappy if you introduce me to your son, so I'd advise against it, Uncle Culler."
She refused Uncle Culler directly.
Uncle Culler laughed once he heard her answer and patted Arvin on the shoulders. "Let's go inside!"
Then, he led the way while Angela and Arvin followed him hand in hand.
On her way into the house, Angela found a lot of treasures such as dzi beads, root carvings, jade sculptures and turquoise... various kinds of priceless antique collections.
They went upstairs and sat down by a table. A middle-aged woman in the traditional cheongsam sat in front of them motionlessly.
Her eyes were dark without any luster. She... was completely blind.
When she heard footsteps, she smiled, "Arvin, are you here? I can hear your step."
Her voice was clear and melodic, which was a drastic and radical differenct to Uncle Culler's.
"Auntie Culler, it's me." Arvin sat down at the table with Angela while Uncle Culler came directly into the room.
"Arvin... are you with someone? Or am I mistaken? Do you have a girl with you, ?" Angela was surprised, 'Isn't she a blind person? How could she know there was a girl beside Arvin?'
Most surprisingly, Auntie Culler took out some leaves and put them into the dark-red enameled pottery with ease. It was actually all done expertly and at a leisurely pace. Then, she poured into the pot some ho water, washed the tea leaves and made tea...
Angela was greatly impressed by the tactile skill she employed. Arvin looked at her and smiled, "Yes. She is Angela."
Auntie Culler nodded with a great whimsical smile, "Angela, nice to meet you."
Angela greeted to her at once, "Nice to meet you too, auntie Culler!"
"The gift must be for Angela, right?" Auntie Culler gave each of them one cup of tea and seemed to be asking Arvin, but there was no real indication who she was speaking to.
Angela looked at Arvin confusedly. Arvin nodded his head. "What's the present?"
Sooner rather than later, they discovered the answer to that question.
A black square box was presented in front of her on the table. Auntie Culler pointed to it approximately. Angela opened the box and couldn't believe her eyes when she looked at the gift! It was a giant white south sea pearl. She could tell that it was invaluable from its color and size.
People who was familiar with pearls knew that the resource of south sea pearls was limited. It was so hard to search for a perfect south sea pearl...
No matter in aspects of price or rarity, the south sea pearl was the king of pearls. Its price was two or three times of that of Tahitian pearl.
This huge, round and pure south sea pearl glowed with natural beauty, a symbolic color of incomparable elegance and romance. D¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶¶
