Chapter 6 Send You Off This Once

    Chapter 6 Send You Off This Once


    I furrowed my brows but I didn’t turn around. This was because someone like her would get more


    worked up and agitated the more you argued with her. I wouldn’t bother to continue this squabble with


    her.


    When I reached thest flight of stairs downstairs, I happened to see Keh together with his


    underling. They seemed to be waiting for their driver. I went over to greet them out of gratitude.


    He shot a sideway nce at me inquisitively, “Are you alone?”


    “That’s right.”


    I nodded as I stole a nce at him. He was indeed very handsome, and it was the first time I met


    someone as impressive as him. Therefore, I was still terrified every time I recalled my actions just now.


    I was really too courageous.


    He knitted his brows and followed up with another question, “Where do you stay?”


    “In the JF Apartment. I am taking a taxi there.”


    “Oh.”

    As we were engaged in our conversation, a Hummer vroomed to a stop at the main entrance, creating


    some noise. That underling of his immediately stepped forward to pull open the car door. He appeared


    to be extremely courteous.


    When Keh got into the car, he nced at me before muttering, “Get in. I’ll send you this once.”


    “…Thank you Mr. Quinn!”


    I was a little terrified, but I still got into his car. His underling settled into the passenger’s seat with his


    eyes focused on a point in space in front of him. He didn’t even steal any nce at me all the while. I


    was really curious as to how he was able to steel his heart in such way with the way he was able to be


    so unperturbed by everything.


    Perhaps people like them had already reached a very high level of existence in life.


    The car sped along the highway, and Keh was simply staring out of the window without making a


    sound. I sneaked a nce at him and realized that his side-profile was really heartrending. It would be


    a waste for someone as delicate as him not to be a star or artist.


    “Have you worked in the ‘Golden Emperor’ before this?”


    He suddenly turned around and asked me, and I was not able to avert my gaze as his eyes met mine. I


    smiled guiltily and started to describe how I left that ce. However, I didn’t include my experience of


    being framed in my story.


    Keh continued to listen to my past, but he didn’tment on it. By the time I was going to alight


    his car, he asked, “The boss there, Cooper, is not someone kind. Did he really allow you to leave


    without any conditions?”


    “I…”


    I suddenly blushed. Naturally, I couldn’t tell him about how I was being framed that time. It was a really


    shameful part of my life, and it was something I would never want to bring up again. Even until today, I


    never knew the identity of that man. He was someone that caused me a lot of grief and pain in my


    memories.


    Keh didn’t continue to pursue me as he continued coldly, “Cooper is never the kind person, and


    maybe he won’t do anything to you on the surface, but he is going to be on guard against you from the


    dark.”


    “I will be careful about that. Thank you, Mr. Quinn. I will treat you to a meal next time!”


    For someone like Keh, he probably wouldn’t be concerned with me treating him to a meal, but it


    was all I could do to repay his kindness. I said that to show my sincerity in contrast to really hoping for


    him to conform to my invitation.


    As expected, he shrugged casually and stopped talking. The man sitting in the passenger’s seat turned


    around and watched me with a meaningful expression before turning back to face forward with a smile


    on his face.


    “Mr. driver, can you please stop at the junction in front?” Seeing that I almost reached my condo, I


    hurriedly reminded the driver while I made sure I took all my stuff before getting out of the car.


    “What is your name?” Keh suddenly asked.


    “Barbara Cox.”


    “I mean your real name.”


    “…Jessica Shaw.”


    In reality, I was never one to disclose my real name to strangers, but in front of Keh, I found myself


    unable to do that. I didn’t dare to refuse answering him.


    When the car stopped, I nervously got off the car and never looked back. The car light was cast at my


    back, and I knew for a fat that Keh’s car was still there. I didn’t know the purpose to his questions,


    because as far as I knew, I didn’t have any impression of him. We shouldn’t have met before


    this.
