Elaine jerked up and ran outside.
Aaron tugged at the rope untied half: "Hey, you can give me finished ......"
He could only pick up the pocket knife on the ground and fend for himself.
Elaine ran to the door, but saw only Nathan standing there in the aftermath, the car behind him, was gone.
Nathan said, "Miss James, let me take you back to the hotel."
Elaine withdrew her gaze and asked bluntly, "How did you know I was here."
Nathan said, "Mr. Conrad was at City H today talking about a partnership and just heard Miss James was here and the hotel side said ......"
Elaine didn't believe it: "There's no such thing as a coincidence."
She said, taking out her cell phone and dialing Stella's number.
Stella picked up, "Elaine, what's up?"
Elaine said, "Sister, is Clarence home."
Stella said, "Yes, he's taking Noah to the shower, do you want to see him for something."
"It's okay, I'll just ask."
Hanging up the phone, Elaine looked at Nathan without saying a word.
Nathan unnaturally touched his nose: "Miss James ......"
Elaine put away her phone and lowered her eyes, "Forget it."
At that moment, Aaron came running out from inside, looked at Nathan, and asked Elaine, "Who is this."
Elaine said to Nathan, "I'll just go back by myself, thank you for today."
"Miss James is very kind."
Elaine turned around and walked quickly forward.
Aaron followed up and repeated the question, "Who was that just now, your friend?"
Elaine hmmed lightly, stopped and said, "Don't follow me, go to the hospital."
Aaron was covered in blood, and no part of his face was intact.
He gently touched the corner of his eye and immediately hissed in pain: "How can that be, I'll take you back to the hotel first, don't get caught again."
Elaine raised her hand to stop a cab, pushed Aaron in, and after saying to the driver, "Please go to the hospital," she said to Aaron, "You can still walk by yourself, so I won't take you there. I'm not in a very good mood and want to be alone, sorry."
After saying that, she just closed the car door.
Aaron: "......"
Only after the cab left did Elaine call a cab of her own, quoting the location of the hotel and looking out the window in disbelief.
If he was here, why didn't he want to see her?
When she arrived at the hotel, Elaine went to the convenience store next to her and bought a bottle of water and sat there, wondering what she was thinking.
After a while, a light rain fell from the sky.
Elaine picked up her bag, turned around and walked towards the hotel, and just after two steps, two drunken men came out from inside.
She could have stepped to the side and avoided them.
But Elaine went head-on.
The two men did spot her and whistled and struck up a conversation, "Beauty, join us for a drink."
Elaine turned her head and looked at them with a calm face, "No."
One of them was so drunk that he reached out his hand and tried to pull her.
Elaine's breath was full of his scent.
She threw down the water in her hand, wrapped her arms around his neck and tilted her head in response.
Darnell lifted her up and moved forward on his legs, sitting in the couch.
The room has not had time to turn on the lights, only the light reflecting in from the street outside the window.
The colorful, light and strange.
Render the ambiguous atmosphere to the extreme.
Elaine sat on top of him, taking the initiative to some extent, and she bit his lips, slightly harder, only to have him regain the initiative just as she was about to have her way.
At the end of the long kiss, Elaine lay on his shoulder and spoke with a nasal sound that comes only after crying: "I've been waiting for you."
Darnell placed his hand on her waist and spoke only after a long time: "Ariel went to see you."
Elaine said, "I don't believe her words, never have."
Darnell said, "What if what she says is true."
Elaine slowly withdrew from his arms, even through a layer of heavy night, her eyes looked at him firmly and brightly: "I said I would always trust you. If my father's death was really arranged by you long ago, then you wouldn't have kept rejecting me. If you really want to control my father, just keep me by your side from the beginning."
Darnell laughed silently, "Elaine, am I that trustworthy?"
Elaine habitually played with his buttons: "I've heard from many people how terrible you are, but never heard anyone, denigrate you a single time. Including my great-grandfather, who complimented you many times during his lifetime."
"When?"
Elaine thought about it: "I don't remember. I overheard it secretly when he was talking to my dad. My dad's greatest wish before his accident was to get me out of Riverside City. If his death had anything to do with you, you wouldn't have specifically asked Clarence to pick me up."
It was too much for Riverside City at that time, and the car was tampered with when her dad dropped her off at the very beginning.
Who knows what the next accident will be.
But Clarence coming to pick her up himself would guarantee that, she could leave safely.
