"Let me help you to the sofa to have a rest." Tony tried his best to make his tone sound calm and emotionless.
[I wouldn't even help an old lady, but I'll help you just this once. After that, I'll leave immediately. Okay?]
Hearing Tony's inner thoughts, Evelyn's eyes narrowed into slits with laughter. Want to run away? It's not that easy.
When they got back to the sofa and saw Tony getting up to leave, she quickly shouted, "Tony, I sprained my ankle. Could you please rub it for me?"
"I don't know how to." Tony refused without hesitation. He came here today just to get through this part of the plot and get the system rewards. He didn't want to have any intimate contact with this second female lead. That would be asking for trouble.
"You're lying. When I sprained my ankle while playing tennis in college, it was you who rubbed it for me. Do you really hate me that much?" Evelyn's eyes turned red, and she said pitifully.
"Yes, so if you're really in pain, I can call your family doctor for you." Tony nodded expressionlessly and said coldly.
[Yes, yes, just think that I hate you and stay away from me, okay?]
[We're not suitable for each other at all. You're a candidate for Yegor's harem, and I'm just a little cannon fodder villain. If he knows that I'm close to you, I'll be doomed tonight.]
After hearing Tony's inner thoughts again, Evelyn snorted coldly in her heart. Want me to leave? No way. However, seeing that this guy was so afraid of Yegor, she rolled her eyes and simply played her trump card: "You won't rub it for me, right? Fine, then you can go. I'll tell everyone that you took advantage of me in a minute."
"???" Tony, who had just taken a step, seemed to be under a spell and stopped in place, his face full of shock.
[Damn it! Don't do this. Can't you be reasonable?]
[If you go out and spread rumors randomly, that guy Yegor will surely hold a grudge against me. Then I'll be dead!]
[I've never seen a villain in any cool novel who could have a good ending after competing with the protagonist for a woman!]
"Don't be like this... We can't go back to the past. Let bygones be bygones, okay?" Tony had no choice but to persuade her earnestly.
"I won't listen. It's like the old saying, 'An obstinate man will never listen to advice.' I'll give you one minute to think about it, or I'll post it on Moments." Evelyn shook her mobile phone as a threat.
"If you post it on Moments, I'll be doomed. Maybe there's still a chance if I rub your ankle... Damn it! I'll take the risk." Tony thought for a moment, gritted his teeth, and made a decision.
"Okay, I'll rub it for you, but you mustn't tell anyone else." Tony instructed as he sat on the sofa reluctantly, carefully took Evelyn's delicate foot, put it on his leg, and gently rubbed it. While rubbing her foot, Tony couldn't help but glance at Evelyn's charming figure from the corner of his eye.
[When we were in a relationship before, this girl didn't have such a good figure. What has she been eating these years?]
[Also, why is she wearing safety pants under this evening dress? Where's the trust between people?]
Evelyn, who was lying on the sofa enjoying the foot-rubbing service, blushed slightly and secretly scolded in her heart: This guy, he looks like a gentleman on the surface, but he has so many thoughts in his heart.
"Okay, that's enough." Hearing that Tony's inner thoughts were getting more and more presumptuous, Evelyn couldn't take it anymore. She quickly pulled her foot back, pretended to twist her ankle, and said, "It's much better. I'll come to you again next time I'm injured."
"Again next time?" Tony widened his eyes and looked helpless. Is this woman deliberately making things difficult for me?
"Of course." Evelyn looked at Tony with a smile, feeling extremely proud in her heart. Being able to hear his inner thoughts and grasping his weakness, she wouldn't let him off easily. That's not her style.
"Damn system, come out. Why has Evelyn's character setting also collapsed?" Tony roared angrily in his heart. This damn plot! Why didn't they follow the routine one by one? Isn't this pushing him into the fire pit?
"Hehe..." The system let out a laugh.
At this time, Evelyn's mobile phone on the table suddenly rang. She picked it up, talked for a few sentences, and then frowned and said, "Got it. The new energy meeting will be postponed for half an hour. I'll be there soon."
After hanging up the phone, she gave Tony a sweet smile and said, "There's an urgent meeting in the company. I have to go now. I'll find you later."
"Go ahead with your work." Tony couldn't wait for her to leave quickly and secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
[The new energy project? I remember now. Isn't this a trap set by Victor and Yegor?]
[To invest in this project, the Vandrode family's 50 billion funds were all trapped, which led to a huge crisis for the family enterprise.]
[Victor took the opportunity to seize power. Yegor played the good guy and helped Evelyn solve the crisis, successfully took Evelyn into his harem, and then found someone to get rid of Victor. In the end, wouldn't the Vandrode family fall into his hands?]
Evelyn, who was just about to get up and leave, froze suddenly, and her face was full of shock. How did Tony know about these things? This project was the top secret in the company, and only a very few people knew about it. And the one who promoted this project was her cousin Victor!
"Could it really be like this?" Evelyn bit her lip and looked at Tony with a bit more admiration and gratitude in her eyes. It must be that he had been secretly paying attention to her and used the power of the Thomson family to help her investigate these things.
She wanted to ask Tony about it and thank him properly, but she found that her throat seemed to be blocked and she couldn't say a word. Helplessly, she could only say goodbye to Tony and left in a hurry to go to the company to investigate this matter.
When Evelyn left, her face was terribly gloomy, and her heart was full of murderous intent. Victor! Yegor! If I find out the truth, none of you will escape!
After Evelyn left, Tony leaned back on the sofa with a relieved look and the corners of his mouth slightly turned up, showing a smug smile.
Master, I've realized it! Although Evelyn's performance today was very abnormal, that's how the plot is set. Later, when Yegor comes to the Vandrode family to show off, with the domineering aura emitted by his protagonist's halo, he will surely conquer Evelyn. By then, when Evelyn compares Yegor with him, she will definitely fall for Yegor without hesitation. As for the little episode with him, she definitely won't tell Yegor about it.
"As long as I keep a low profile today, Yegor will be busy flirting with girls and showing off, and surely won't have the time to bother with me. When he knows that Sophia has nothing to do with me, I should be able to survive until the end of the story smoothly this time." Tony thought happily.
Just then, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door. Tony turned his head and saw a petite and pretty girl walking in. Although the girl was petite, some parts of her body were quite voluptuous and swayed gently as she walked. Coupled with her cute Lolita dress, she looked like a beautiful girl walking out of the two-dimensional world.
The girl saw Tony and immediately showed a sweet smile and greeted, "Hello, Brother Tony."
"Oh... Alice. Long time no see." Tony quickly responded and soon remembered her identity.
She was the famous female doctor Alice in Milan! Only twenty years old, her medical skills could rank among the top ten in the whole of Europe. Her grandfather was George, a legendary figure in the European medical field, known as the "Medical God".
With excellent medical skills and a beautiful appearance, such a favored daughter of heaven was naturally also one of the members of the Dragon King Yegor's harem.
