Couldn’t blame Armand for thinking too much, the actions done by Cormac were too strange.
Boyce looked at Theresa and he was thinking about something, he wouldn’t believe that Cormac would fall in love with others. He was mumbling the name of Renee Gordon, suddenly he noticed the key point ‘Theresa would go overseas because she was disfigured during the explosion, even though the surgery was successful, she should have different looks from the past, right?’
‘Coincidentally her surname is also Gordon, is it a coincidence?’
He didn’t think that it was a coincidence, he felt that this Renee Gordon in front of him, was indeed Theresa Gordon, Cormac would come and find her was definitely inquired about Loredana. About the change in her voice, he didn’t know the reason, perhaps she was just purposely changing her voice?
After figuring it out, Boyce seemed to understand the reason that Cormac let Armand give her the phone number. He hoped that Armand would understand Cormac’s intention, he stretched his arm and patted his shoulder, “I will wait for you at the roadside.”
Boyce walked away after saying this, but Armand suddenly grabbed him, “Don’t go.”
Boyce was speechless.
‘Is he an idiot? Doesn’t he notice at all?’
‘He doesn’t want me to give him the chance of staying alone?’
Boyce thought in his mind that Armand was pathetic.
Armand didn’t notice Boyce’s intention at all, now he felt that he was betraying Theresa if he looked at other women. How would he think that Theresa’s looks had changed and were totally different from the past?
Some more the voice was different, he wouldn’t think about that aspect anymore, he glanced coldly at Theresa, “Don’t hook up someone simply just because you feel that you look pretty, Cormac is a married man. If you don’t want to get scolded, faster go away!”
‘Hmm, Armand thinks that Theresa is a woman who is hooking up Cormac. Don’t mention giving her the number, it’s already good that he doesn’t scold about something unpleasant.’ Boyce was looking at the sky quietly beside him.
Theresa didn’t get angry, she kept smiling, “I don’t understand what you’re talking about, please give me the phone number.”
Armand frowned, ‘Isn’t it that I haven’t made it clear?’
“Why do you want his phone number?” Armand’s voice still sounded cold.
It was even worse than just now.
Even though Theresa was pretending to be calm and cool, there was still fluctuation deep inside her heart. After all he had slept with her and was being so intimate with her before, she had even gotten pregnant in the past, how would it be possible to say that she had no resentment at all?
She clenched her fists tightly, she didn’t understand Armand’s meaning because she was nervous, she felt that he was purposely looking for trouble, so her smile vanished, “It’s okay, I’ll go ask from him.”
Theresa was going to walk toward the roadside while saying this, Armand was irritated and pulled her, “Eh, lady, why are you so shameless? Isn’t it that I haven’t made it clear? He has a wife, don’t become a mistress…”
“Mister.” Theresa interrupted him, “Not everyone has such a dirty mind like you, I ask for his number because I need to discuss work with Mr. Mendelsohn.”
These words made Armand Bernie choked. Boyce Shawn really couldn’t stand it, if Armand continued to say something offensive and pissed Theresa Gordon off, he would never be able to coax her in his life.
He pulled Armand away, “You wait for me, I’ll solve this matter.”
Armand was quite aggrieved as he was scolded instead when he was thinking for Loredana Flores and was afraid that Cormac Mendelsohn would be snatched away. He had a chip on his shoulder.
“Boyce, how come women nowadays are so eloquent …”
“Armand, can you stop talking?” Boyce held his forehead as he was going to be exasperated by him.
Armand hummed coldly, “You settle it.” After saying that, he walked away with resentment, thinking in his mind that he didn’t want to care anymore.
Boyce watched him walk away before looking at Theresa, “You’re Theresa, right?” he spoke again firmly without waiting for her to deny it, “The reason Armand didn’t find out was that lookers-on see most of the game.”
Theresa knew he was a steady man. Since he could say that, he must have discovered something. She pursed her lips and smiled bitterly, “I’ve found out.”
“Why your voice is different? Are you on purpose?” he asked with concern.
She shook her head, “I hurt my vocal cords.”
He sighed, “It’s okay, it’s not ugly now anyway.” He asked for a phone with his hand out, “You know the news about Loredana, right?”
She handed him the phone and there was no need to beat around the bush when talking to someone smart, “Yes, I went to see her as soon as I got out of the hospital and we’ve been staying together.” After he finished entering Cormac’s number and handed it to her, he still wanted to explain to Armand, “You know his temper, sometimes he is ignorant, but he has never had a bad intention. Just now he didn’t recognize you as he thought you’re a scheming woman who seduced Cormac. After all Loredana isn’t here, so he …” He didn’t finish the rest of the words as he believed that Theresa would understand it. She also expressed her attitude, “I hope you can keep this secret for me, don’t tell him my identity. I still can’t let go of the past, I don’t want to be harassed by him and I want to live a quiet life.” He looked at her for a moment and said, “I won’t tell him. I’ve to make him suffer or else he will still make mistakes. I support your ideas.”
“No.” She hurriedly explained, “I’m not trying to punish him, I just don’t want to have a relationship with him anymore as it’s too tiring. I don’t want to dabble in it for now, I just want to put my career first, moreover, I’m really busy now. As you can see, there are a lot of people today, the convention was a success and there’s a lot of work to do afterward.”
He sighed, “Fine, I respect you.” As he turned around to leave, he seemed to think of something and he turned to look at Theresa, “He has a hard time recently and he also feels bad, being negative for a perio of time. If it isn’t that many things have happened recently and he is being busy all the time, he wouldn’t even be in his current state.”
She didn’t say anything or give any response.
He just wanted her to know as he didn’t expect her to show her attitude. At that point, Armand couldn’t be forgiven and he knew it well. “Take good care of yourself.”
After finished speaking, he turned around and left while Theresa smiled, “Take care of yourself too. You’re not young now, hurry up and find a girlfriend.”
When he heard of the word ‘girlfriend’, he inexplicably thought of Jasmine and the kiss that caught him unawares.
Then, he was filled with guilt again.
He quickened his pace as if to flee from something. She looked at his hasty back and smiled as Boyce who was always steady had lost his poise too.
On the roadside, Cormac was calling Abbott Baron.
“Yes, book the recent flight to City C.”
Soon Abbott’s voice was heard at the other end, “The most recent one is tomorrow morning at 7.30 a.m.”
“Well, book one for me.” He hung up the phone after he said. Armand leaned against a lamp pole, looking at Cormac, “What’s wrong with you? Why do you go to City C in a rush?” Cormac didn’t look at him and said indifferently, “Business. You guys can go back.”
After saying that, he stopped a taxi and went away.
Armand was speechless.
He felt that he couldn’t understand Cormac.
Yet Boyce knew why Cormac was going there, so he didn’t ask and wrapped his neck in his arm, “Let’s return to the hotel. If you can’t fall asleep, I can have a drink with you.” Armand looked at him, “I think you’re the one who wants to drink.”
“Okay, I want to have a drink. Will you accompany me?”
“Of course.” Armand’s arm was placed on his shoulder and they bent their arms around each other’s shoulders. They didn’t immediately stop the car but walked along the road. “Armand, I want to ask you a question.” Boyce suddenly said.
Armand twisted his head and looked at Boyce in surprise. A miracle had happened as he even had a question to ask himself. He resented him usually. Was that the moon was different in Country Y and Country Z? Did it make people change their nature? “You say.”
As he met Armand’s eyes which filled with gossip and curiosity, he swallowed what he wanted to ask. If he told him about the matter which Jasmine kissed him, he would surely ridicule him in sarcasm.
The words on the tip of her tongue took another turn, “Didn’t you notice that woman called Renee is quite pretty?”
Boyce accentuated the pronunciation of the word ‘Gordon’, trying to remind him.
However, Armand focused on the point which that woman was pretty as it was the first time he heard Boyce praise a woman.
