I’m Someone Else

Chapter 85

Thomas’ phone rang at around 3.00PM. He held it up and saw that it was a call from Rose. “It’s been a while, Thomas!”

“It sure is,” Thomas replied with a smile.

“Are you free tonight? My father would like to meet you.” Rose got straight to the point. She was having a cup of tea with her father at home right at this moment. She had told her father all about Thomas, and her father was beyond elated to hear about him, and he insisted on getting to know Thomas.

Thus, her old man urged her to ask Thomas out.

“Tonight?” Thomas hesitated. He had intended to head out to murder Pontius from Minacia Oito that night. The initial plan had been to kill Pontius last night, but the people from the Yam Family had disrupted his plans. The act would have to be delayed for two whole days if Thomas didn’t follow through with it that night.

“You can come over to my house for a meal and a chat. Don’t worry; we won’t take up too much time. Two hours would be enough.” Rose tried to reassure Thomas after hearing the hesitation in his voice. It’s just two hours—I’m not asking him to spend the whole night here. I’m sure he’ll be okay with this suggestion, she figured.

He thought about it for a while more and wouldn’t mind heading over as long as his plans for revenge weren’t disrupted. “Alright. Send me your address. I should be there around 8.00PM,” he mentioned.

“Great! See you then!” Rose felt as if a huge weight had been lifted off her chest then. She would’ve been utterly embarrassed if he had ended up rejecting her. Deep down, she believed that Thomas was no regular man, and she was sure he would become an impressive leader in society someday.

She wanted to strengthen her connection with him before he received more recognition. Rose trusted her gut feeling, as she had always been right! I’m waiting for you, Thomas. My father is really curious about you, so I hope you put up a good show for him. Don’t disappoint me!

Right after Thomas ended the call, Olivia stormed into the room. “Grab the car, Thomas. Molly, I need you to pick out the documents relating to our partnership with Mr. Belvard. We will meet up with him in a bit,” she announced.

“Got it, Miss Pearson!” Molly replied in a clear and loud tone. She hastened her actions as she could tell that Olivia was in a rush. About five minutes later, the car picked up speed as Thomas headed to the location where Olivia had instructed him to go.

It was then Olivia realized how Thomas was driving a Lamborghini instead of his usual BMW Z4. Wait, that’s not right. How did he get a new car? I only gave him the keys to a BMW Z4!

“Did you change the car, Thomas?” she asked.

“Yeah!” He nodded and explained, “This is my friend’s car. I’m driving it for a few days.”

She thought about his words for a while. I guess it makes sense. Even Sean and William treat Thomas as their good friend, and people of their financial status could easily get a Lamborghini in Irieson. Olivia no longer thought or asked about this matter after that.

Once they arrived at the destination, Olivia and Molly headed up into the building while Thomas waited in the parking lot.

About 10 minutes later, Molly walked over to the car and knocked on the window. Thomas opened the car door and asked, “What are you doing here? Where’s Olivia?”

“Miss Pearson is still negotiating with Mr. Belvard about the partnership, and she told me to head off first. She said that we could find a spot to wait for her and that she would call us once she was done with her business,” Molly said.

Thomas nodded and gestured for her to get into the car, but she remained in her spot with a rather bashful look on her face.

“Would you be free now, Thomas? Why don’t we watch a movie? Miss Pearson’s discussion with Mr. Belvard is going to take a while, and I don’t think they’d be done in less than two hours. I know of a cinema nearby that has a pretty nice environment…” This was a rare opportunity for Molly to spend time with Thomas, so she wanted to take advantage of it. “You mentioned that you were busy previously, but we’re at work now, so you shouldn’t be occupied by anything else, right?” she asked.

Thomas froze for a moment before he recalled something. I rejected Molly the first time she asked me to watch a movie, and I even promised her I would buy her movie tickets the next time. Well, I’ve already rejected her once—I can’t reject her twice, can I? He then nodded. “Sure. Let’s watch a movie.”

“Okay!” Molly’s cheeks turned pink, as she hadn’t expected him to agree to the plan so promptly. It seems like Chloe was right—Thomas does have feelings for me! Oh, Molly, why are you conjuring all these inappropriate thoughts in your head? What’s going on?! She ended up selecting a new comedy movie. They both had popcorn in their laps as the movie started.

Thomas barely paid any attention to the show. What’s this nonsense? This is a trashy film. It’s so meaningless. He wasn’t a humorless person, but none of the scenes made him feel like laughing at all. After the movie was over, he stood up and stretched his limbs. He felt rather sore after sitting down for too long.

Both Thomas and Molly walked beside each other as they headed toward the cinema’s exit.

“Thomas? Stay right there!” someone shouted.

“Huh?” Thomas froze for a moment. Who’s calling for me? The voice sounds rather angry. He turned around to see the date he had met just a few hours ago. It was Fanny, Lilac’s sister. Beside her was a young man dressed in a white suit, and he seemed to be her date for the movie. Molly was shocked as well. She had seen Fanny earlier; she knew Fanny was Thomas’ blind date and that things had turned sour between them. However, Molly hadn’t expected to bump into Fanny so abruptly.

“What is it, Fanny?” The man beside Fanny knitted his brows as he reached his arm over to wrap around her slim waist.

“That’s the b*stard that scolded me in the restaurant this afternoon!” She pointed her finger in Thomas’ direction as she was still fuming at the memory of what happened earlier that afternoon. Was there anything wrong with my questions? How could one come out on a date if he doesn’t have money, a house, or a car? What kind of idiot would commit their life to a man like that? How dare you flip things around to ask if I’m a virgin instead? You even asked about my body count. Is that any of your f*cking business? Look at that sister of yours! You guys are all poor, useless brats. You should be honored by the fact that I even showed up for the date. How dare you complain?! What a joke!

“Oh, is that the b*stard you were talking about?” The man let out an icy scoff. He was trying to court Fanny, but Fanny had been complaining about this other guy since earlier. The man had promised her he would get someone to deal with the said guy, but he didn’t expect to bump into Thomas so soon. Well, I guess you’re out of luck, young man. You dug your own grave, the man thought.

Then, the man pointed toward the staff members standing by the exit of the screening room. “I want you guys to clear this place out. Don’t allow anyone to come in!” the man ordered.

“Got it, sir!” The staff members uttered a few words into their walkie-talkies, and the whole space was cleared off after that. Thomas, Molly, Fanny, and the man were the only ones left. “I want you to avenge

me. Beat him up!” Fanny cried.

There was a cold glint in her eyes and a hint of malice in her voice. Since Lilac wasn’t around, Fanny didn’t have to worry about her sister’s reputation.
