The Love Book

Before the man came out, she lifted the covers and put on her clothes and went to the bathroom in the next room.

Not cold or hot a love – affair, so early in the morning the atmosphere is made a little unusual.

Phoebe Barnes cleaned up and casually wore a housecoat, no makeup eyebrows warm and quiet and fresh, completely missing the enchanting and flirtatious under the man just now, around the dining table to help Chen’s mother organize breakfast.

“Madam, sir hasn’t come down yet, do you want to go up and shout?” Chen Ma glanced upstairs.

Phoebe Barnes poured the milk with her head down and said in a light voice, “No, he’ll be down soon.”

A few minutes later, footsteps came from the stairs.

The man’s long, straight figure stepped down slowly on the steps, a dark gray suit, looking expensive and exquisite, neat short hair, a handsome face is very handsome, the expression is bland, through the noble and a touch of indifferent detachment.

Phoebe Barnes looked slightly dumbfounded, unable to imagine that the man in bed just now, full of animal lust, was him.

She quickly withdrew her eyes, set the cutlery for him, and quietly sat back down in her seat.

The man sat down, picked up his coffee and took a sip, without rising and falling spoke, “Chen Ma, that suit in the bedroom turn around and throw it away.”

Chen’s mother was stunned for a moment and nodded, “… Oh, okay.”

Phoebe Barnes’ eyes flickered for a moment, looking up at him with some surprise and mumbling, “Why … did you drop it?”

I know he has a cleanliness problem, but she sleeps in the same bed with him every day, so it’s not because of her, so what is it?

Is the perfume on the dress … not the one called Alice?

The man’s eyes did not lift a faint voice back, “Have you ever seen me wear clothes that were ripped and wrinkled?”

“…”

Phoebe Barnes’ eyes dimmed and she looked down and stopped asking questions.

To say ripped, he was dressed every time they did it in the study, and I didn’t see him throw the clothes away afterwards.

After a short silence, Chen Ma’s voice came down from upstairs extremely fast, “Madam, your phone is ringing.”

Phoebe Barnes was stunned, wiped her mouth with a tissue and took it.

“Hey, Sister Long.”

“Phoebe, remember the awards night tonight?”

Phoebe Barnes glanced up at Kemp Ross and continued, “Remember, but it’s only morning and there’s no rush.”

“Not in a hurry? Auntie, I’m not in a hurry here!” Xiao’s exasperated voice came out, “You are the only female companion of Lu young tonight, in order to match his identity, in order to let you shine tonight, I have gone to great lengths to find many stylists and costume designers, you come to me now.”

Phoebe Barnes was speechless for a second, and before she could open her mouth, she heard her continue, “Also, the company contacted the party director and temporarily gave you a few minutes to show your face on stage.”

“…”

Get on stage and show your face?

She has no fame and no representative works, certainly not to do awards, then she is on stage only one possibility.

Her face changed slightly, looking at the man across the table who was about to finish his breakfast, she said faintly, “I know, I’ll contact you later when I’m ready.”

After saying that, without waiting for a response, she simply hung up.

Putting down the phone, I pursed my lips as if organizing my language, looked at the man’s handsome face, and spoke softly, “Kemp, I’m going to a party tonight and may be late.”

The man put down his cutlery, elegantly wiped his hands, and finally lifted his eyelids to look at her indifferently, “What are you trying to say? You think I’m going to be as stupid as you were last night and wait until late at night?”

Phoebe Barnes lowered her eyes and didn’t say anything.

Half a day later, the man pulled back his chair and got up to leave without saying a word, his movements were sharp and clean.

She stared at the bright light of the doorway for a long time, and finally, slowly, pulled out a self-deprecating smile.

Yeah, how could he be stupid enough to stand still and wait for someone?

How handsome he is, how cool he is.

A few minutes later, she picked up her phone again and dialed Kelsey Long’s number.

” Sister Long, I’m going over there now, send me the address.”

“…”

…

When Phoebe Barnes arrived at the Rose Hotel, near the address of the awards night, she asked Kelsey Long directly, “Was it John Lu’s idea to put me on stage?”

Kelsey Long looked stiff for a moment and coughed softly, “Phoebe, we’ll discuss this later, let’s go try the dress on first to see if it fits.”

“Wait, the dress will be tried on later.” Phoebe Barnes sat on the couch without moving, looking at her with a calm expression and a sharp, deep gaze, “I need to get things straight first, is there something else you and John Lu are hiding from me?”

Always giving her the surprise she has had enough.

John Lu is not a good person from the beginning.

Kelsey Long has no choice, “He’s my boss, and no matter what I hide, I have to do whatever he asks.”

Phoebe Barnes’ face sank a point, closed her eyes and scoffed lowly, “Shouldn’t I feel lucky that he, a big boss, still has so much to worry about me, a minor star?”

Kelsey Long looked at her with some concern and reassured, “Phoebe, Lu Shao didn’t mean anything else, you didn’t accept the subterfuge, didn’t he also agree to it?”

Phoebe Barnes didn’t say anything, her face was expressionless, and the look in her eyes was unreadable.

John Lu can easily agree to her, she does not think he is just kind, only that he sees more value in her, with such people, she must always be vigilant.

The back door he opened, the rest must still be earned by her.

After thinking about it, she still thought it would be a good idea to take a step forward.

Repeatedly frowning, he said, “Tonight is the party, I was not given time to prepare at all, how can I perform on stage?”

Kelsey Long immediately spread a smile, “Didn’t you have a tenth grade in piano?”

“…”

“It’s okay to sing.”

“…”

Phoebe Barnes stared at Kelsey Long with a pure black face for a few seconds and gritted her teeth, “Big sister, are you trying to make a fool out of me? Even if I’m good, I need to prepare in advance, right?”

She passed the 10th grade piano exam before she went to college, not to say whether she liked it or not. She learned it at first because her parents forced herto do so, just like any other family, and in the past few years, she has been running around for filming and has hardly touched it.

Kelsey Long looked at her and immediately raised her hand and smiled attentively, “There is a piano in the hotel, you are most familiar with what tune, I will immediately go to the Internet for you to find. I can’t help it, I was shocked when Lu Shao’s secretary told me, now I can only give you a hard time, you have to hurry up, I have to go to rehearsal this afternoon.”

By the end of the day, Kelsey Long was too weak-minded to look at her anymore.

As her manager, of course she wants her to be good, but Lu less is her boss, she also can not be offended, caught in the middle is really difficult.

Phoebe Barnes pondered for a moment and did not want to embarrass her, waving her hand helplessly, “Let’s try on the clothes first.”
