Chapter 24 Not as nasty as you think
One moment I dreamed that my father beat her drunk and my mother cried and begged her for forgiveness.
A moment later, she dreamed that she accidentally broke her brother’s toys, and he took the remote control and other toys and smashed them on her head. Then the moment the toys came down, they turned into her father’s feet, and he kicked her with a fierce face, cursing “little bastard” over and over again …
“Ah!”
Tess Baker screamed and sat up under the covers, a cold sweat already forming on her forehead.
She looked out the window and realized that it was already dawn, and when she looked at the time, it was already 7:30!
Tess Baker slipped on her slippers and quickly washed up.
She changed her clothes and hurriedly carried her bag downstairs and out the door of the sixth building before she dizzily remembered that her car was still in the parking space of the mall.
Just then–
“Come here!”
came a cold, hard voice.
As soon as Tess Baker looked up, she saw the man leaning against the Bentley wearing sunglasses.
The early morning sunlight spilled out in rays, enveloping him in it, looking handsome and somewhat blinding.
Tess Baker froze for a moment before frowning and getting into the Bentley as the others watched.
The two men stalled the whole way and the car stopped in front of a breakfast place.
“I checked, you like the taste of this place.” Bowen Carter blocked all her back roads before she could say anything.
Tess Baker swallowed her unspoken words and reluctantly followed him into the breakfast place.
The store is a very ordinary breakfast place, which has noodles like meat buns, as well as hot and spicy soup and some congee. Because of the high cost performance, there are many people here, more than half of them are students from the nearby high school.
A few female students peeked at Bowen Carter and couldn’t stop the red hearts in their eyes–
“Wow, this brother is so handsome!”
“He’s so good-looking, is he some kind of male celebrity?”
“I envy this sister, she has such a handsome boyfriend.”
A group of people chattered, eager to take pictures, but intimidated by Bowen Carter’s aura, they only dared to gaze and talk from afar.
Tess Baker sat down and frowned at the man across the table with a black face wiping, she really didn’t understand him more and more.
He used to hate this kind of breakfast place, not because he thought it was low-end, but he thought it was unhygienic. Even if the knife is on his neck, he may not even come.
Then why did he bring her here?
“I’ll get in line, and don’t you dare run away!” Bowen Carter wiped the table several times with a napkin, then warned her and got up to get in line.
The place sounded hot, the line was super crowded, and he looked out of place standing in the crowd in a sharp suit.
Tess Baker sat in his seat, watched him being squeezed to the east and west, several times want to be angry but not out loud look, heart can not say what is the feeling.
It took half an hour for Bowen Carter to get his turn, and he came over with a plate of two bowls of spicy soup and two meat buns.
The two bowls of spicy soup were placed on one plate, and he tried to take one of them out, but it burned his hand. He gave her a quick look and retracted his hand behind his back.
Tess Baker sighed, brought a bowl of hoisin soup to him, then went to get two more spoons and put one in his bowl.NôvelDrama.Org © content.
She used to be the one who hurt her hand cooking and shrunk it carefully under her shirt for fear he would see it … but he never ate any of her cooking – said it was dirty.
“Bowen Carter, let’s talk.” It was the first time Tess Baker had spoken to him calmly since the two had met.
Bowen Carter wiped his spoon with a clean handkerchief and said, cool and detached, “I have nothing to talk to you about!”
“But I do.” Tess Baker looked at the things and couldn’t really eat, “The two of us got divorced five years ago, we shouldn’t even be entangled to one now …”
“I’m full, I’ll pick you up tonight!” The spoon landed in the bowl with a crisp, single clatter.
Bowen Carter got up, not even wiping the corners of his mouth, and walked out with long legs, more like a wretched escape.
Tess Baker minced her lips, got up and walked to the front desk, “Hello, pack me a hoisin soup and meat loaf, please.”
At this moment the small rush has passed, not many people.
“Miss, we can pack anything you didn’t finish, we can pack it for you.” Tess Baker and Bowen Carter were both so distinguished looking that the waiter kept an eye on them and knew their meal was still untouched.
Tess Baker pulled up the corners of her mouth and smiled, taking out her wallet, “Help me get another one.”
“Yes, you wait a moment.” The waiter did not understand the brain circuit of this beautiful customer … might have money to spend?
The waiter quickly packed an identical breakfast, Tess Baker took the breakfast, said thank you, and then took a taxi to the office.
“Boss Baker, you are here, Mark has been waiting for you for half an hour! If you don’t come, I think Mark is going to buy dynamite to blow up our company!” The cute girl saw her coming and was grateful.
I don’t know what’s wrong with Boss Baker, but he’s late twice in a row!
“Oh, I’ll come over now.” Tess Baker went into the office with her breakfast.
In the office, Linda Mark took a pillow and was slamming it down on the desk one by one, mumbling something under her breath.
