After a long, sweet kiss, Linda pushes away Kevin's groping hands behind her back and runs into the living room to take a deep sip of lemon water.
Her heart is still beating quickly, and she needs a sip of water to calm herself down.
If it goes any further, Kevin's going to…. She feels maybe it is too dangerous to move too fast with Kevin.
A hunter will not cherish a prey that is too easy to get.
I'd better develop my career first, there will be a harvest if I do my best.
Kevin also follows to the living room.
Linda looks into his eyes: "How about call it a day, you go back home first!"
"Are you in such a hurry to kick me out before the business is finished? Heartless woman!" Kevin answers a little wistfully.
Linda is a little worried. How to deal with it? It seems that there is no escape for her tonight.
She pulls her collar down and looks fearlessly: "Come on! You come here."
Kevin sees her and bursts into laugh: "You think I want to sleep you, ah? See, you have a robot at home, I am terrified. How dare I have the courage?"
"Today is to tell you that I have found a house, when you are free, I will accompany you to have a look. If you feel it is suitable, we will settle down."
Linda suddenly has a big red face: "You, you, always tease me, you are so annoying."
"But thank you for the house! "
"Don't thank me. I'm waiting for my surprise."
In order to avoid being kicked out again, Kevin directly takes the initiative to say: "It is late today, I need to go back home. Let's date again when you have time."
"Ok, honey, please drive carefully on the road."
Linda watches Kevin drive away, she returns to the living room to continue to read the script.
After a while she is a little thirsty, the water in the glass is gone, she goes to the kitchen. When she opens the refrigerator door, it is full of cooking ingredients, meat, vegetables, milk, eggs, drinks, all kinds of things, enough to last for a few days.
Linda takes a bottle of orange juice for herself, unscrews the lid and takes a sip. She says to herself: "It tastes good. This guy knows it well."
Back in the living room, she continues to sit on the sofa and read the script. Accidentally she touches the coat next to her. She looks down and finds that Kevin had left his coat here.
This guy is negligent.
Linda picks up his coat and smells it close to her nose.
A unique smell belonging to Kevin, really good smell, Linda could not help but close her eyes, smell for a moment.
She shakes the coat and prepares to hang it up for him. A small box falls out of his pocket. Linda picks it up and looks at it. Her face flushes.
This guy, he told lies. He said he was afraid of the robot. He didn't have the guts. You don't have the guts, but why this gadget is in your pocket?
The next time I get a chance, I have to tease you hardly.
But this man always respects my decision, never forced me doing anything I didn't like.
Such a good man, even if he wants more from me, it is a perfectly normal thing.
At this time, the mobile phone rings, it is her mother Mrs. Lin. Linda quickly puts on the phone.
"Mommy, it's late at night, do you want to contact me for something important?"
Mrs. Lin sighs: "Ah, my dear daughter, your mother I have been in the business for so many years, but today I was cheated by a liar. The more I think about it, the angrier I get, so I want to tell you about it."
Linda soothes her quickly: "Mom, don't worry, what is going on? Tell me. Please!"
"I had a client coming to the store today. This client he had a painting just like the one that Kevin had sent, but his was a fake and mine was the real one. He said he would bring his painting over, compare it with my real painting, analyze them together. Both of us are art lovers, so I didn't think too much about it, I took the original one out."
Mrs. Lin pauses, then continues: "This client is too cunning, he took advantage of my bad attention, and stolen my real painting. When he left, he took my real painting and left me with the fake one. It is so annoying! "
"Mommy, that man is really awful."
'I don't want your father and brother to know. I'm really pissed off, and I think it would be appropriate to tell you, since it's a gift from your fiancé. Please don't tell your dad or your brother, OK? "
"Mommy, you can count on me to keep your secret. Can I help you? "
"Good daughter, I really like this painting, and my son-in-law gave it to me. In the future, Kevin must know that it is gone, and it is difficult to explain. I want this painting back. But when I found out and tried to call the client, the phone was disconnected. I'm worried too. It'd be nice if you could help. "
Linda asks calmly: "Are there any surveillance records in the store?"
Mrs. Lin answers quickly: "Yes, yes, all of them. "
"Mom, you want to settle this quietly, right?"
"Yes, yes, the painting was stolen. What a shame. The fewer people who know about it, the better."
"Ok, Mommy, I see, I will try to find a good way and get back to you tomorrow. OK?"
"OK, OK, we'll talk about it tomorrow, and remember to keep it a secret."
"I see, you can rest assured."
Linda has been thinking about how to solve this problem, but there is no good way. I can't call the police. Then it will be known by many people.
Well, if we do this privately, I have to find this guy. I don't have enough resources to find this guy.
Maybe I should ask Kevin for help. Mother always calls him "son-in-law", and she does treat him as her own son.
I will ask Kevin to help and keep it a secret, and I'm sure my mom wouldn't blame me.
Linda decides to tell Kevin all about it. He is the one she can count on.
