Chapter 200 – National Assist
“The weather forecast says it’s going to be a continuous downpour for the next few days.” Bluck replied without raising his head.
“People still believe in weather forecasts these days.” Helen Benson couldn’t help but laugh, thinking Bluck was adorable.
Bluck heard this, wrinkled his brow, looked up to say something, but found Helen Benson is cold hug himself.
“Why didn’t you say something about being cold?” Bluck now frowned more tightly at the tip of his eyebrows, stood up directly from the table, walked to the cabinet, opened the door and took out a blanket from inside.
Helen Benson recognized the blanket from the last time she fell asleep in Bluck’s office and woke up covered with it.
Bluck handed her the blanket: “Put it on.” The tone was unmistakable, and for no apparent reason, Helen Benson’s heart quivered twice.
She pulled a corner of the blanket and tilted her head, “Master, you actually don’t hate me that much in your heart, do you?”
If you really hate it, even if you watch her freeze to death, you probably won’t worry about her being cold.
“I’m only doing this because you’re Cecilia’s friend.” Bluck’s hand stiffened for a moment, then in the next second, he let go of the blanket, spoke faintly, and turned back to the table.
Helen Benson had some small expectations, but after hearing this, she understood that what Bluck said was true.
If she wasn’t a friend of Cecilia Glendon’s, Bluck would probably have kicked her out of the office on the spot, and wouldn’t even let her come here again.
Helen Benson just some small touched heart suddenly bitter up, blanket draped on the body also did not feel warm, but also more and more cold.
Her sudden silence made Bluck feel out of place, he looked up, just in time to see Helen Benson that bleak look, originally very godly eyes also become godless, she seems to be sad … but the next moment, and suddenly clenched his hands, his eyebrows became firm, as if he had made some kind of decision.
Such a Helen Benson gives Bluck a strange feeling in his heart.
Probably really he is older, many frustrations really can not pass, he will not be a drum to go forward.
It’s like an affection for Cecilia Glendon.
She merely said that she only wanted to be a master and apprentice, and he immediately agreed, and tried really hard to stop liking her.
But what about Helen Benson …
She had a fondness for him from the beginning, a process in which he did not take her feelings seriously at all, and after invariably hurting her, she was able to quickly adjust her emotions and get more and more frustrated.
Somehow, Bluck’s mind was curious about this little girl Helen Benson for the first time.
He also wondered how far Helen Benson could go.
…
Cecilia Glendon was a little distracted. The competition piece was ready and she was sitting in front of the mannequin, still tugging at the dress in her hands, but not sure what she was thinking.
“Hey!” Bonnie’s voice snapped in Cecilia Glendon’s ear.
Cecilia Glendon was startled: “What’s wrong?”
She patted her chest in some shock.
“What’s wrong with you? Why are you so distracted.” Bonnie asked curiously, “You’ve just been frozen in thought for a long time.”
“Yes?” Cecilia Glendon asked, baffled.
Bonnie looked at her and asked, “This isn’t some kind of pre-game syndrome, is it?”
Some people become very nervous before a competition and can even lose their game on the way, and although this does not happen with Cecilia Glendon, she now looks like she has a clear tendency to do so.
“I’m fine.” Cecilia Glendon shook her head and pushed down the uneasiness in her heart, “Go ahead and get busy while I check again.”
With that, she went to check her work again, but was stopped by Bonnie before her hand could touch it.
“You’ve been checked countless times, there’s no problem, take a good rest, don’t put yourself under too much pressure.”
With no choice but to nod in response, Cecilia Glendon then got up and went to the window.
Outside the rain is still falling, and there is no way to stop. Cecilia Glendon used to love the rain, but today it makes her feel extra uneasy.
After thinking about it, she took out her cell phone and called Debby White.
Debby White has been on the road for several hours and should be almost there by normal travel time.
It took a while for the call to go out to Debby White, whose voice sounded a little hazy: “Cecilia …? What’s going on?”
“Not there yet?” At the sound of her voice, Cecilia Glendon dropped her heart just a little.
“Almost there.” Debby White said, “If it weren’t for the rain, we’d be there already.”
They were driving back on their own. Debby White originally wanted to drive her own car, but was disliked by Montague Scott.
Debby White thought he was going to drive the flashy red sports car, and was thinking about the family’s expression when they saw the car, but she didn’t expect Montague Scott to pick her up in a Bentley, although the car was more expensive than the sports car, but at least the color was not outstanding.
“Remember to text me back when you get there.” Cecilia Glendon admonished, “Tell Montague Scott to drive slowly, it’s raining and the roads are bad.”
Cecilia Glendon has been to Debby White’s house many times and knows that their road has many curves and is not very good, especially when it rains.
“Got it.” Debby White smiled, “By the way, just heard him say the Benson Master is away on business?”
“Well …,” Cecilia Glendon hesitated, “it seems to be.”
“I heard it was going to August City, which is a little far from Greenwich.” Debby White said.
“Yeah well …” Cecilia Glendon didn’t ask Abbott Benson where he was going on business, but it’s not surprising that Montague Scott knew.
“I hear it’s raining hard over there too.” Debby White came back with, “It’s worse than over here, last year August City was when heavy rains caused flooding …”NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.
“You don’t have to say anything.” Cecilia Glendon interrupted her.
Debby White said so in order to make Cecilia Glendon worry, as to why … still want to set them up, right?
“OK, no more talk.” Debby White sighed, “I’m hanging up, cheers for the game tomorrow, sorry, if it wasn’t for my mom’s accident, I would have been there to see it.”
“Auntie’s health is important, remember to say hello to your aunt and uncle for me.” Cecilia Glendon said.
“Good.” After responding, Debby White hung up the phone and then looked to Montague Scott, who was driving beside her, “Do you think that worked?”
Cecilia Glendon is a soft person, Debby White knows it well, but now to use Cecilia Glendon’s soft heart to let her worry about Abbott Benson, Debby White always feel a little cruel to her.
“Who knows.” Montague Scott replied, “Whether it works or not, you’re telling the truth, and it’s not like you’re saying it to worry her.”
Debby White rubbed her chin and nodded, “That’s true.”
The August City flood last year was real, and this year it just happened to be raining heavily for two days, and Abbott Benson was there on business, so what if he was unlucky enough to run into it?
Thinking about it, Debby White sighed secretly.
Abbott Benson and Cecilia Glendon between ah, can really be counted on all people to help them get back together.
