Nomsa widened her eyes and said, "Wilson..." The man wearing the mask squinted and interrupted her, "Shouldn't I ask you this? Why you are here?" The pleasing voice carried a trace of sternness, and the concern it showed was just right. Nomsa almost thought that this man was really her "cousin." She blankly said, "I was just about to go back." "I'll see you off." The man wearing the mask pulled her wrist and walked out. However, the colleague who came with Summer wouldn't give up easily . He walked forward and stopped Nomsa. "We are out to do market research. Are you skipping work now?" Nomsa looked at him with a smile. "It's rare for my cousin to come back from abroad. So I want to stay with him now. Please ask for leave for me." The colleague still wanted to stop Nomsa. The man wearing the mask slowly took out his phone and said, "Should I call the police?" When the colleague heard this, he immediately moved aside. Nomsa followed the man wearing the mask into the car. She hesitated for a moment and finally summoned up her courage to ask, "Are you Adams?" Adams took off his mask and smiled at her. "Did you recognize him so easily?" Nomsa shook her head repeatedly and was a little exited. "No, no...I just..."
Nomsa didn't have the nerve to say that she had liked him for eight years, and her cheeks turned red. She watched all the plays in which he participated, so she was familiar with his gaze. Seeing her blush, Adams nodded and said in a gentle voice, "I understand." He drove attentively and asked, "Where are you going?" "A crowded place ahead . I'll take a taxi back." Nomsa did not expect to see Adams one day. She was happy to see him. She liked all the roles he played, but that was all. This time he helped her, but she should not trouble him in the name of his fan. When they arrived at a crowded place, Nomsa got off the car and asked him, "Will you pick up a new script after returning?" Adams said without hesitation, "If there is a good one, I will keep acting until the day when I'm too old to move." Nomsa's eyes lit up and she nodded heavily. "Well, as long as you keep acting so well, I'll keep watching." Adams laughed . It seem that she really liked his works and was his devoted admirer. Nomsa added, "Thank you for helping me today." Adams thought of what had happened and frowned. "It's a piece of cake, but you should be careful outside."
"OK, I will ." She smiled at him and turned around to leave. Adams looked at her back and asked her, "What's your name?" Nomsa turned around in surprise. "Nomsa." Adams softly repeated her name and frowned slightly. If he remembered correctly, Leonardo's new wife was also called this name...
...
In the Golden Cauldron Club.
As soon as Leonardo entered, he saw Tim. Tim was sent abroad a few days ago, and he just returned. "Master", said Tim respectfully as he walked up to him. Leonardo raised his hand and checked the time. "Is Adams here?" Tim responded, "Yes." Leonardo went straight to the private room. When Adams heard the sound of the door opening, he looked up at the door. When he saw Leonardo, he revealed a gentle smile, making himself gentler. He shouted, "Leonardo."
Leonardo went over to the seat opposite to Adams and sat down . Leonardo pushed the menu to him and said, "Haven't you ordered yet?" Adams was the son of Leonardo's aunt and a top-notch celebrity of the Tip Top Media Company. "There's no hurry," Adams did not go through the menu, but asked with interest, "How are you getting along with your new wife?" Leonardo frowned slightly when it came to Nomsa and just said, "It's okay." Adams reached out to grab the cup in front of him and casually asked, "What's wrong? Is she hard to get along with?" Leonardo did not know whether Nomsa was hard to get along with, but he knew that she had never pestered him. Adams was a casual person, but he had many questions today. Leonardo leaned back and looked at Adams critically. "Did you come back just to care about my marital life?" Adams realized that he had asked too much. He smiled and changed the topic. "My mother said that if I don't find a girlfriend, she will let me take part in a blind date show."
"Our company can't let this happen. But as your boss, I can get someone to arrange a blind date for you," Leonardo said with a rare gloating look on his face. Adams coughed to clear his throat. "I will lose my fans if I fall in love."
Leonardo looked up at him and said, "Do you think you're an idol?" Adams didn't respond. Was it his fault to become a Grand Slam winner at the age of twenty-eight?
...
In the evening, Douglas came home from work and found that Nomsa had already prepared dinner. Normally, when he came home, Nomsa had just returned. Why did she come back so early today? When he arrived at the kitchen door, he happened to see Summer carrying a large bowl of soup with heat-insulating gloves. When Nomsa saw Douglas, she frowned. "Douglas, get out of my way." Douglas did not move aside. Instead, he took off the suit on his arm and hung it on Nomsa's arm. He reached out to take over the soup in her hand. When she saw him carrying the soup with his bare hands, she couldn't help but remind him, "Hey, it is very hot!" Douglas put the soup on the dining table calmly. Nomsa was shocked. This man must be made of iron. As they sat down, he casually asked , "Why did you come back so early today?" Nomsa served herself a bowl of soup and tilted her head to look at him. "Is it necessary for me to report it to you?"Douglas laughed out of anger, "You are so eloquent!" However, his current identity was "Douglas", so he could do nothing to her. "Thank you for compliment."Nomsa felt that the experience she had concluded was correct. As long as she did not show weaknesses, "Douglas" could do nothing to her. Douglas narrowed his eyes and stared at her. He was arrogant and domineering. Even when he was looking at others, his eyes carried an aura that was different from that of ordinary people. Nomsa was so uncomfortable that she was about to speak but Douglas slowly said, "Nomsa, I am Leonardo." Nomsa was confused. The dinning room fell into silence. There was a dinning table between them. Both of them had serious expressions on their faces. Nomsa tightened her grip on the chopsticks and said in a hoarse voice, "Is this your new trick to play on me?"
I'm Not Harassing You
Douglas fixed his eyes on her critically and seriously, not neglecting any expression on her face. Douglas and Nomsa looked at each other silently, as if there were in a silent contest. In the end, Nomsa turned her gaze away.
"Douglas" was Leonardo? She found it ridiculous. Douglas looked at the constantly changing expression an her face and understood that his words were too abrupt. He withdrew his gaze and slowly drank a mouthful of water before he said calmly, "If I say no, will you believe me?" "Of course not. Do you think I'm that easy to fool?" Nomsa realized the teasing in his tone and felt relieved. Douglas said in differently, "No."
It was not his thought , but a fact. After dinner, Nomsa returned to her room. She was still thinking about what "Douglas" had said. She didn't know "Douglas" for long but she knew that he was too arrogant to be at the mercy of others and marry a woman he did not like.
No matter who married into the Emerson's, Vicky or her, Leonardo could investigate their backgrounds. At that time, she was"ugly and stupid," while Vicky's private life was a mess. They didn't match him. If "Douglas" were Leonardo, needn't marry her or Vicky. Moreover, Leonardo was disabled. He was indifferent towards Nomsa, so it was more authentic. After analyzing, Nomsa calmed down and took her clothes to the bathroom. When she came out after bathing, she heard her phone ringing. Without seeing who was calling, she picked up the phone. "You skipped your work today?" Hearing Lynn's harsh voice, Nomsa was shocked for a moment. She pressed the hands-free button and put it on the bed. Then, she dried her hair and said, "Dad, you are really well-informed. I went home after I went out this morning. But it was already late at night when you found out that I had skipped my work." The man who went out with her to do market research during the day, must be asked to take revenge on her by Stone. Otherwise, Vicky, who liked to make trouble for her, couldn't tell Lynn about this matter until now. Vicky was probably involved in this matter. Perhaps after confirming that person had not succeeded, she told Lynn's about that. Vicky spared no effort to deal with her. She hadn't settled the matter with Vicky about Violet Gold Club yet! That day in Lynn's office, she said on purpose that Vicky had been to the Violet Gold Club again to test whether Vicky was there that day.
Although the mastermind behind that incident could only be Vicky, she still had to confirm it. Lynn knew nothing about what had happened to Nomsa today. When he heard Nomsa's arrogant tone, his anger grew even stronger. He shouted on the phone, "Nomsa! Do you think that I can't discipline you since you become an Emerson?" Nomsa said languidly, "No.If you want, you can do it anytime." However, since she was young, Lynn had never cared about her. He would only look at her when he needed her. Lynn remained silent with astonishment for a while. He coldly said, "Fine! We'll talk about it on Monday at the company!" He hung up the phone fiercely. Vicky placed a glass of water in front of Lynn and said, "Dad, what did Nomsa say to make you so angry?"
"She thinks no one can discipline her. She is simply looking down on me!" Lynn slapped his desk angrily. Vicky gently stroked his chest and comforted him, "Dad, I think Nomsa has gone too far this time. You treat her so well, but she doesn't respect you. I think it's better to teach her a lesson." Hearing this, Lynn pondered for a moment before nodding slowly.
...
As for what Lynn had said, Nomsa had long expected that this matter would not be over. But now that she dared to go the Jarret Group, she wasn't afraid. Jessica was still filming in another city. Nomsa had no friends in Hoover City, so she just stayed at home to watch TV and write scripts on weekends. She couldn't stay at the Jarrett Group for long, so she couldn't abandon her major. She didn't know what "Douglas" was busy with these days. He rarely showed up at home. She did not see him all weekend which reduced her burden.
On Monday morning.
When it was almost twelve o'clock last night, she heard the sound of the car engine, so she guessed "Douglas" should be at home. So she made breakfast for two. When she arrived at the dinning room with her breakfast, she saw "Douglas", dressed in a suit, sitting at the dining table. This was the first time they had met face-to-face since the dinner last Friday. Nomsa was still dissatisfied with what he said that day. She sat down carrying her breakfast and looked at him. "Go to the kitchen and get the breakfast yourself." Douglas did not say anything and his gaze fell on her breakfast. Her breakfast was simple : porridge and egg pancake. Nomsa felt according to his gaze that he would fight for the food with her. Thus, she lowered her head and took a bite of the egg pancake to proclaim sovereignty. After doing this, she felt that she was a little childish. However, she did not expect that "Douglas" was even more childish than her. He directly stood up and brought her breakfast to him with his long arms. Beside, he took a bite at her egg pancake as if he was demonstrating. Nomsa wasn't experienced in getting along with men before, so she blushed , "Y-you're shameless!" Douglas put down his chopsticks seriously and calmly." I didn't harass you. Why did you scold me?" Nomsa felt didn't know how to respond. She turned around then, and went back to the kitchen to get the other share of the breakfast. She ate a hasty meal before going out. When she came out, Douglas looked at her in surprise. Nomsa walked out quickly. Seeing her disappear, Douglas couldn't help but smile. It seemed to be quite interesting that she didn't know he was Leonardo. Although he had been busy these past two days, he still remembered that Nomsa came back so early last Friday. Vicky was vicious. She would stop at nothing to deal with Nomsa. He would not help her unless he had to. After all , it was interesting to watch Nomsa fighting against others. While he was thinking, he stood up and walked out.
