Chapter Eighty-Three: Ghosts!
The two held the phone and fell silent for a while.
For Suzanne Badenberg, there are mixed feelings, sorrow, regret, embarrassment, and deep regret.
As Robert John had guessed, Suzanne had not had a good time.
Once, her current husband worked in a state-owned enterprise, had a good income, a perfect welfare package, and even a little power, at that time, Suzanne was still working in the company, and it was the day and night that she fell in love with the powerful Berdenberg.
But life is like a play, since Mrs. Thatcher came to power, vigorously promoted the privatization process, state-owned enterprises became private enterprises, and Badenberg unfortunately lost his job and became a laid-off worker.
Suzanne was not spared, and the two suddenly went from senior management of the enterprise to unemployed.
Suddenly losing the job of the management, losing the high benefits and salary, it is inevitable that it is difficult for people to adapt, and after several turnovers, the two did not find a suitable job.
But God always likes to play tricks on people, and after a few years of spending their savings, when they wanted to find a job, they encountered a real estate crash, and the entire British economy fell into a recession.
There was even a long time when the family had to live on welfare.
Maybe it's because of the anger fate that injustice to him, or maybe it's the inability to reverse the reality of becoming a commoner from a state-owned enterprise executive, Susanna's current husband is also addicted to alcohol, smokes alcohol at every turn, and beats and scolds her when she gets drunk.
It's as if she was the one who made Badenberg lose her job.
A woman will always be a woman.
Needs pampering, needs comfort.
After being beaten and scolded again and again, Suzanne would often think of her ex-husband Robert John.
He would never scold her, let alone beat her, and when the two of them were poor, Robert John even secretly worked three jobs in order to buy her a favorite gold necklace.
When she is angry, Robert will always coax her, when she is happy, Robert will always laugh with her, and if she wants something, Robert will try his best to buy it for her.
The same style of women's hats of Queen Elizabeth, to luxurious German cars.
Whenever she was sick, Robert would take great care of her, shushing her and asking for warmth.
But that's all in the past.
There have been countless times when Suzanne thought in her heart that it would be nice if Robert had a worse life than herself, and at best, become a vagabond.
But as a result, she saw the last thing she wanted to see.
Recognizing Robert John in the park that day, Suzanne could barely believe her eyes.
A sophisticated suit is the Italian brand Prada, a set costs 5,000 pounds, and the watch slightly exposed on the wrist is even more luxurious and expensive, and it is the latest top luxury item of Patek Philippe, at least 600,000 pounds.
At that time, after Robert John confessed her identity, Suzanne almost tried to find a crack in the ground.
But she never expected that Robert John did not humiliate himself, nor flaunt his wealth, nor grit his teeth with hatred as if he saw his enemy, but generously gave himself 10,000 pounds.
"Robert, is it really you?"
"It's me, Suzanne, how are you doing?"
"It's fine. This is my husband, who works for Deen Industries, a large company. What about you, how are you doing, why didn't you see your wife? ”
"Oh, I'm still single. ”
“......”
Deen Industries, hell Deen Industries.
Badenberg now delivered only a newspaper at a newspaper office for only five hundred pounds a week.
He is still single.
Thinking of the look in Robert John's eyes that day, a thought could not help but spring up in Suzanne Bedenberg's heart.
Is he still in love with me?
It must be so, he must still be in love with me, I'm so beautiful, he's always been obsessed with me.
Why did the boss meet his ex-wife?
Holding the phone, Robert John couldn't help but think about it, but after thinking about it for a long time, he didn't understand why.
But the things that the boss explained, he didn't do it well, that guy hated others going against his will the most.
Robert John is very clear about Shen Jiannan's character.
What the boss doesn't say, don't ask, what the boss is thinking, must be in line with his mind, and don't show your cleverness.
After some deliberation, Robert John spoke.
"Suzanne. My boss wants to meet you, but I don't know if it's convenient for you now. ”
Suzanne was stunned, his boss didn't know me, how could he meet me. But in an instant, her heart swelled with infinite excitement and ecstasy.
Excuses, this must be excuses.
It's so late now, and he must be trying to see me......
Yes, it must be so.
His excuses are still as bad as ever.
Calm down, calm down!
I must not act too anxiously, in that case, I will be despised by her.
Suppressing the excitement in her heart, Suzanne hesitated.
"It's past eight o'clock, could it be, it's too late. ”
"Well, if it really doesn't work, forget it, I'll explain it to my boss."
Suddenly, Suzanne was in a hurry.
"It's okay, where are you, I'll go to you now. ”
With that, Suzanne Badenberg realized that she was acting too eagerly, and she hurriedly remedied.
"You can't let your boss down, and as a friend, I can still help with this little favor. ”
Also.
With the character of his own boss, if he doesn't complete his task, he will definitely find a reason to clean himself up.
"I'm at the hotel now, and I'll pick you up at your house if it's convenient for you. ”
He came to pick me up.
Thinking of the luxury Bentley that Robert John drove that day, Suzanne couldn't help but feel excited, such a luxury car, the leather sofa must be very comfortable to sit on.
But...... In case of......
Suzanne glanced at Badenberg, who was drunk and asleep in the living room.
No, you must leave yourself a way out.
"Don't bother, I'm going out to take a taxi to find you now, which hotel are you in. ”
"Oh. I was in the Presidential Suite on the twenty-eighth floor of the Wells Hotel. ”
Presidential Suite.
Suzanne couldn't help but take a breath, like a girl who had returned to her youth, and a sweet feeling came over her.
Sure enough, he still loves me.
It must be so, he is the presidential suite specially prepared for me.
The big bed there must have been soft and big.
Hanging up the phone, Susanna was full of anticipation like a girl, like returning to the green years of love.
She hurried back to the bedroom, picked up cheap lipstick and smeared it on her lips.
Thirty-one flowers for men and thirty tofu dregs for women.
Women are much less resistant to time than women. What's more, white women themselves are easy to look old, and after thirty, if their lives are hard and not maintained, they will age faster than ordinary people.
Suzanne is now in her fifties, so naturally she can't compare with her girlhood, and she feels very dissatisfied when she looks at herself in the mirror.
The fair face is covered with brown age spots, and the corners of the eyes are also full of deep wrinkles.
It's just too ugly.
After thinking about it for a while, she opened the box of foundation that she was usually reluctant to use, picked up a cotton wipe and carefully applied it on her face.
The hard work paid off, and under Susanna's careful grooming, the nasty brown age spots were gone, and the annoying wrinkles were gone.
Smiling slightly, she changed into the most gorgeous outfit, picked up the Elizabeth lady hat that Robert had bought for her, and went out confidently with her handbag.
He's going to be fascinated by me.
Wells Hotel.
A soft, delicate whisper came from the bedroom.
Licking a dog may be innate, Robert John quickly took off the cigarette in his hand and walked into the bedroom.
Lucy Badenberg had woken up, young and energetic, fair skin, exposed to the air, and with just one glance, Robert John was like twenty years old again, and his blood was boiling in his body.
The two looked at each other, and to Lucy Badenberg's exclamation, Robert threw himself on the bed again.
The color is not charming, and people are fascinated by themselves.
For Susanna, Robert John loved Suzanne deeply, deeply, and that love lasted for twenty years. What's more, Lucy Badenberg looks too similar to Suzanne when she was young, indulging in sincere love, Robert John can't extricate himself.
A fifty-year-old man is like a charcoal fire that is about to go out, but when he peels off the dust covering it, the heat lasts longer.
Time passes imperceptibly.
Robert John lost track of time, indulged in the beautiful melody of love, and devoted himself to the great construction of love.
Ding Ding –
Ding Ding –
The shrill doorbell suddenly came, and the crisp sound of the bell was simply infuriating.
Robert John didn't want to pay attention to it, but the damn bell rang like a curse.
Annoyed, he put on a bath towel and walked out of the bedroom with slippers.
The door opened.
A nightmarish being stood outside the door, dressed in red, with a bloodless face, like a female ghost who asks for her life at night.
What's even more terrifying is that when she saw Robert John, she burst open and laughed.
In the dead of night, Robert John was so frightened by the sight of such a terrifying creature that he couldn't help but dance and scream in horror.
"Holy. What the hell!"
