Chapter 30: Did I Misunderstand You?

Lucas's face suddenly sank, and his eyes gathered with cold light. That sharp eyes immediately cast on the face of Evelyn. “Become a shareholder?" "Yes, my father wants to buy a share of company." Evelyn had to stiff and tremblingly answered. But she blamed John in her heart that made her do such things. Lucas's eyebrows and eyes suddenly become ridicule, and his clothes were heavily thrown on the bed. "How many shares does he want?" Lucas knew a little about John who was shrewd. Nora was his daughter. So how kind could she be? "Thirty percent." Evelyn stammered. And this number was like a knot in her tongue. When she spoke out, it seemed too high. After all, Lucas had done almost everything for the company. John was ready to pick up the ready-made business. Evelyn secretly looked at Lucas, and found that his handsome face was like a layer of ice, indifferent with a trace of alienation, which made her heartbreaking. Once the words were out, she didn't know what she was saying, and she could only stare at her toes in a daze. "If I don’t agree, will you stop being a designer?" He looked straight at her, as if he wanted to see her through. There is no denying that he is really very appreciative of Evelyn these days, especially for her design talent, and her unique insights in this regard. They had a great time to talk about it, and he even offered her a job as a designer. he sneered in his heart that there’s no wonder that she was willing to be a designer.the reason why she agreed was that she wanted to be a shareholder. Unexpectedly, he, Lucas, also made a mistake and was fooled by a woman, which was really ridiculous. Nora was really true of the investigation,which was not as simple as he imagined. She pretended to be innocent, and now she began to calculate. Lucas changed his views about her. His eyes was filled with disappointment. She married him for profit, and now she wanted to join his company as well. "No, please don't get me wrong." Listening to what he said, she was shocked and hurriedly shook head to deny. This was not her intention, and she tried to find perfect way to solve the problem. But now John took her mother's life to blackmail her. What could she do? Her eyes turned red, looking at Lucas. She wanted to explain, but she did not know where to start. "Did I really misunderstand you?" Lucas coldly smiled, and his eyes made her have no place to escape. Evelyn was choked by his words, suddenly she stuck there. It wasn't like that, but now everything has changed. Everything was a mess. Her brain can’t work now. What she can do now was only to look at Lucas. She wanted to say something but stopped. "You don't have to explain anything." "While you shouldn't talk about something like business. Since father-in-law wanted to become a shareholder, so let him come and talk to me." His voice was cold, but... Agreed? Evelyn was uncertain, so she looked up to him in surprise. But Lucas has packed up his own clothes and directly went to the next room to sleep. The huge room, suddenly left her alone. It was no feeling that it seemed to be particularly empty. The cold wind was blowing, and she felt shivered. She turned and went onto the balcony. The window was not properly fastened, leaving it open. So she closed it. After waiting for a long time, she did not find Lucas want to come back to sleep. Evelyn can not help but smile wryly. Did he really thoroughly dislike herself now? But as he said, she really had nothing to defend that she was for profit, wasn't she? She promised John to pretend Nora. It was all for her mother who can go to doctor. Without any sleepy, Evelyn dialed the phone of John. The phone rang for a long time before it was connected. John' voice was full of displeasure. Obviously he had already fallen asleep and was woken up. "Why do you call me in the middle of the night? You'd better have something important to say." The angry words came across the phone. Evelyn was very angry. she offended Lucas because of him , so she relied rudely, "Of course, it is about your shareholder. If you don’t want to be, I'll tell Lucas ." "Don't!" There was the rustle on the phone, as if he was getting up. He came onto the balcony with eagerness, and his voice still was carrying the wind. “well? He agreed? I said, if you would speak to him, he would agree. you keep me waiting so long time. By the way, did he say when we sign the share transfer?" He was sure that the shares was in her hand. It was not his usual voice, even with faintly excited. Why he was so confident? She sneered: “how could it be so simple? But he said he would talk with you." "What? Apparently things weren't quite true of what John had expected. His voice sounded chilly. “ Have you said something that you shouldn’t?” "How can that be? Don’t you forget that my mother is under your control?" Evelyn was depressed, but she repeated the original words of Lucas without concealing, “He said that this kind of business should be discussed with you. Since you want to be a shareholder in the company, please talk to him directly." "To be or not to be the shareholder, It's up to you." when talking about this point,, she felt relieved. There was a long silence on the other side of the line. When Evelyn thought that he was going to hang up, he replied: “Sounds good! Let's make an appointment tomorrow. I'll wait for him in the coffee shop opposite the Hawk group." It was a surprise for Evelyn that John would agree. “OK.” When she was about to hang up the phone just want to hang up the phone, the words came out, "Did he tell you anything else?" John really wanted to use her totally. He still wanted to find out other information from her. Would Lucas tell her something else? Now he's better off not killing herself. Thinking of the quarrel just now, Evelyn frowned and said in a low voice, “No." John snorted. "You’d better tell him not to play any tricks." "If I do anything, I shall never see my mother?" Evelyn self-deprecatingly said: “You are always saying this!" He said: “ Well, when you make it and you'll be able to see your mother soon." There was nothing more to say on the other side of the phone.
