“So, you are saying that you've spent a few thousand dollars on a plane ticket just to come here to have dinner with me?”
She raised her eyebrows, “Why not?”
Fair enough - I had no clue what the rich had in mind.
After eating and chatting, I really didn’t know what else Folly Lewis had planned to do.
Seeing that she didn’t seem to have any plans to leave, it felt like a headache already. So I said, “Folly, we...”
“There he comes! Finally!” She didn’t pay attention to me at all. But she was looking at the person walking in at the door of the restaurant, with a look of excitement.
I was stunned for about two seconds, then turned to look at the person who had made a classy lady like Folly crazy.
The man who came in was handsome, with beautiful facial features, and a warm and jade-like temperament.
Such a pleasant gentleman!
I was running short of compliments.
“That is Zack Norman. He’s such a gorgeous man, isn’t he?” Folly said. It seemed that she couldn’t take her eyes off him, not even for one second.
I turned my head and pursed my lips, “So, it turns out you have been here waiting for him, huh?”
She shrugged and smiled innocently, “If you have to put it that way... After all, it’s embarrassing to eat alone, especially for such a long time. Others would think I am weird.”
I...
So, I had been a foil.
I was just a foil to keep her company until the man showed up.
Well, whatever.
Looking at her, I couldn’t help but ask, “How long have you known each other?”
As if Folly and I had suddenly found a topic, she said, “469 days! No, plus today, that’s exactly 470 days.”
I...
That was accurate.
Zack Norman entered the restaurant. He sat down directly at another table, and there was a good-looking woman sitting beside him.
I couldn’t help raising my eyebrows and looked at Folly, “Are you stalking him?”
She tutted, “No, I am not! Don’t be so lame, I call it a romantic encounter.”
Ha-ha!
“He’s a professor at J University, and that is his student sitting next to him.” She said, her eyes still fixated on the man.
“Good for you, Ms. Folly! The nightclub owner and the professor, tsk-tsk.” I said.
She glanced at me sideways, saw me chuckling, so she said, “What are you talking about? I think he’s my prince charming.”
I held my chin, “Didn’t you just say that I was all about love and hatred? Look at you now.”
She curled her lips, “I am all about career, love, and life. You don’t get it!”
Looking in the direction of Zack Norman, the girl who was sitting with him seemed to have left beforehand.
Folly pulled me up and shamelessly said, “Let’s go over to his table.”
I...
So I was dragged to Zack Norman’s table by Folly, and she smiled extraordinarily ladylike.
“Professor Norman, it’s been a long time since we met. What a coincidence to meet you here, are you here by yourself?”
Zack looked at her, then at me, raised his hand to support his black-rimmed glasses, and frowned slightly, “May I know you two ladies are...?”
I was only shocked to find out the 470 days that Folly had bragged about was just the days she had learned about the man - Professor Zack Norman had no impression of her at all.
It would be a flight of more than ten hours - I drove directly to the airport.
On the way, I texted Nanny Daisy telling her I had to deal with some stuff and wouldn’t be going back at night.
Because I had to turn off my phone on the plane, I sent Dennis a message in advance to tell him that I would be busy and out of contact in the next few hours. Then I got to the airport, boarded the plane, and flew to Country M.
The flight time abroad was extremely long. I fell asleep on the plane and woke up a few hours later, so I simply took out the books I bought at the airport and read.
Halfway through a transfer in Sydney, I went to the bathroom and grabbed something to eat at the Sydney Airport.
I almost forgot the book when I boarded the plane. But luckily I had enough time, so I ran back to get it.
“Ouch!” Because I was in a hurry, I accidentally knocked down a girl who was wearing high heels when she was going down the safe passage.
The girl was still holding a coke in her hand, but her beach hat dropped on the ground, and her blonde hair was exposed.
“Hey, my clothes!” The coke was knocked over on the girl’s clothes, and she cried out immediately.
I hurriedly took out a tissue to help her wipe, and I apologized while I picked up all the things that had fallen off the ground.
After calming down, I could see the girl’s appearance clearly. She had a pair of blue exotic pupils in her two deep eyes, pronounced facial features, and skin as white as snow.
She was so naturally beautiful that even girls couldn’t take their eyes off her.
“Fortunately, it’s just coke. My clothes are dark in color, otherwise, I won’t be able to get them off. Miss, you’re in luck!” She said in Spanish.
I immediately apologized again, handed her the hat I had picked up, and said sorry a few more times in a roll.
She looked at me, shrugged, but didn’t say anything else. She put on her hat and muttered, “My Mr. Gibson may have been waiting for me too long.”
After that, she went up to the boarding gate.
I went back to the airport diner to get the book before boarding the plane again. But as soon as I sat down, I saw the blonde girl on the other side of the aisle.
She had taken off her hat. She was wearing sunglasses, and she had a book in her hand. I glanced at it, and it was the same as mine, And Then There Were None.
