41.Chapter 41
Lu Ling's hair was sticky to her scalp, and it was still the same effect after drying, and she felt like a giant humanoid moving champagne. Of course, the others were not much better, especially Nicholas.
They've had enough trouble in the dressing room, and a lot of the players' families have come from the stands or the box. Jesse Liang and Kate Morgan were also on the outside of the locker room. When Zixiang and Ian heard that their girlfriend had arrived, they hurriedly ran out and hurried back to the locker room without kissing twice. Lu Ling looked at the two reckless guys with amusement, and sure enough, they went to the shower.
Lu Ling picked his hair with his fingers again, oh, it could only get worse and worse. Maybe she should go take a shower too. The players were starting to undress, she glanced around, didn't see Pat, and walked out.
Nicholas was wiping his hands with a towel when he saw his assistant leave and shouted, "Wait a minute." ”
"What's wrong?" Lu Ling leaned against the door and turned around to ask.
Nicholas threw the towel and went out of the locker room with her.
Lu Ling glanced at the Spaniard's pants, and he couldn't hold back a smile. But he didn't seem to care much. The staff who passed by them or the family members of the players would invariably glance at his pants and all snicker. The Spaniard looked back with a serious face, without the slightest embarrassment.
People with strong psychology don't care about other people's eyes, is that the case? Lu Ling turned his head to look at his sculpted side face, today seemed to be the happiest day for him since they met.
Spotting that the assistant was looking at herself, the Spaniard also turned his head and looked at her. Then, suddenly, in a strange tone, he said, "Christine, there's something you may not be aware of. ”
"What's that, boss?"
"I'm vindictive. Nicholas said in a deep voice.
Lu Ling looked at his expression, he was not displeased, but stared straight at her. She licked her lips and looked away first.
They walked through the narrow passageway, all ready to go upstairs to the office shower. Nicholas pushed open the first floor door and let the assistant go in. Lu Ling walked past him and whispered thank you. The next second, her arm was grabbed, and he pushed her against the wall.
They are between two levels of doors, the first door separating the passage and pushing open the second door is the staircase. There is a distance of three or four meters between the two doors, which is for fire prevention. No one is passing by here.
The incandescent lights were bright, and you could faintly hear the noise in the dressing room.
The distance between the two has never been closer.
Nicholas took a deep breath almost inaudibly, and the assistant was drenched in champagne a little wolfy, but strangely seductive. She wears a blue training t-shirt inside and a club jacket with no zippers. The neckline is beautiful, and the collarbone is slightly exposed.
The air is filled with the intoxicating smell of champagne. Nicholas raised her eyes, her face flushed, not knowing if it was from the champagne or whatever.
The Spaniard's shirt was almost dry, and with three buttons open, Lu Ling could vaguely see his chest muscles inside. She could clearly feel her heart beating faster and faster. With her right hand tucked awkwardly into her chest, she tried to push him, but the Spaniard grabbed her wrist right away.
"You owe me a punishment, remember?" he said, bowing his head and in a hoarse voice.
His breath hit her face, his gaze fell on her lips, and she couldn't possibly not know what he wanted to do. His face was getting closer and closer, and Lu Ling wanted to close his eyes, but just as his lips were about to fall, she staggered.
She lowered her eyes to the carpet and forced her composure, "Pleasedon-tyou-vemadeyourdecision,andI-dratherbeyourassistantthanoneofyourmanygirlfriends." (Please don't, you've made your decision, and I'd rather be your assistant than one of your many girlfriends.) )
Lu Ling only looked at him again after saying this, there was a trace of anger in his dark brown eyes, and perhaps, a little bit of loss.
Nicholas didn't say anything, he raised his hand and brushed his assistant's sticky hair, then his index finger brushed her lips, stayed for a few seconds, with a little forbearance and reluctance, and finally, he let go of her.
"Don't be late tomorrow. The season is over and we have to plan for next season. With such a sentence, he pushed open the second floor door and went upstairs.
Through the glass on the door, Lu Ling watched his background disappear, and then he took a heavy breath. She was just about to gather her thoughts when the first door was pushed open.
Patrick stood stiff in the doorway, he had already finished his shower and changed into jeans and a t-shirt, his hair was still wet, and he didn't know what the expression was on his face.
"Anna wants to see you, she's been looking for you for a long time. "What is certain is that his voice is stiff and perhaps a little distant.
Lu Ling straightened up in embarrassment, how much did he see?
“…… Sorry, Pat, I'll be over soon, but, I need ...... Take a shower first. She stammered.
“OK.” The boy glanced at her expressionlessly, turned away, and the door shut.
****
The water sprayed out, and Lu Ling closed his eyes and thought back to what had happened before.
Nothing was a problem.
The only question is what would Pat think of this if he had witnessed the whole process? Does she need an explanation? If not, would he really have misunderstood her because of her ambiguous personal relationship with her boss to get the job and support?
Lu Ling was already upset, the soap was empty, and the staff didn't refill it in time, which made her even more irritable. If your hair is washed with water, it's still a little sticky, and it's on your body too. In the end, she could only reluctantly turn off the faucet.
By the time she returned to the dressing room, most of the players had already gone back with their families. There weren't a few people left in the locker room. Pat sat in his seat, cell phone in hand, not sure what he was looking at. Jack and Lucy chatted with Zixiang and Ian, as well as their girlfriends.
And Anna, as soon as she saw Lu Ling, jumped over and gave a warm hug, "Oh, dear, where have you been? You look terrible, though. Are you sick?"
Lu Ling hugged Anna hard, leaned on her shoulder and said, "I'm fine, it's just that I don't have soap in the shower." ”
"Oh, poor Christine, your hair smells of champagne. Anna had a vague feeling that something was wrong. When Pat came back from outside, his face was very bad, and now Christine is like this again, could it be that the two of them quarreled? She thought about it as she glanced back at her brother, who didn't even lift his eyelids when Christine came in just now.
Lucy and Jack also came over, and Lu Ling hugged them again, chatting casually. Lu Ling listened to their conversation as he crossed Lucy's shoulder and looked at Pat, who was still looking at his phone, completely unconcerned about the situation here.
Perhaps sensing the gaze, Patrick looked up. Lu Ling smiled at him, but the boy lowered his head indifferently and continued to look at his phone.
Patrick is looking at a weird Twitter account. At the same time that QPR was officially promoted to the Premier League, the strange Twitter account attracted a lot of attention on social media.
The account's first tweet went something like this:
[I wonder why no media used this photo as a news image after Patrick Amber's first hat-trick.] 】
The linked image is a photo of him and Tina hugging. Maybe the person who took it has a heart, this one does look a little ambiguous.
And the second one goes like this:
[A bartender told me that she had seen Flores and Lu appear in their tavern at the same time one night.] Of course, I won't reveal the name of this tavern and this girl, I'm a person with a bottom line. 】
Next, the third one:
[I'm really happy to see the QPR upgrade, so next season, there will definitely be more people who follow my account.] I love triangles. 】
There are only three of them, but each one has a lot of retweets. The name of this account is: LoveAffairsatQPR (QPR's Romance) and the introduction is: Freelance journalists. The avatar is a Photoshopped QPR crest, and the QueensParkRangers have been changed to QueensParkRomance, which has more than 6,000 followers.
Patrick frowned, maybe some fucking Burnley fan.
Ian also sensed that something was wrong with Pat, and he let go of Kate and walked over to him and asked him what he was looking at. Patrick shook his head and put away his phone. Stand up and open the locker and take out your bag to pack your things.
"Honey Tina, are you free for the evening, will you go to our house for dinner?" Lucy looked back at her son's actions, and knew that he was ready to go back.
Lu Ling was a little embarrassed, and she also glanced at Patrick's back, not knowing if he heard it.
As Patrick put on his headphones, he heard Tina say, "I'd love to." Thank you, Lucy. ”
As they were about to leave the locker room, a media employee came running out of breath and was relieved to see Patrick. He looked like he had something important to say, and the boy took off his headphones.
"Hey, Patrick, good thing you're not gone yet. Sky Sports wants to have a feature about you this season, and you want to have an interview, can you do it tomorrow in Harrington?"
Patrick shrugged, "OK." Without a single word, he put his headphones back on and walked past the staff member.
Everyone realized that something was wrong with him. Lucy and her daughter exchanged glances, and they both had the same thoughts, they must have quarreled with Tina outside. Obviously, when they came from the box, Pat was in a pretty good mood.
When Zixiang and Ian walked outside with their girlfriends in their arms, they were chatting about where to go on vacation. Both of them renewed their contracts with the club a while ago, and their weekly salary is 100 times higher than before, so they should be able to live a very comfortable summer this summer. Originally, they wanted to ask Pat, but in view of the situation, it was better to go back and ask again.
At five or six o'clock the sun was a little slanted, and the sun shone on the streets of West London. The fans around the stadium were basically gone, and there was no one at the back door. However, there seems to be the voices of fans in the distance, perhaps lingering in the tavern.
Tonight should be a night of all-you-can-drink.
Lu Ling lowered his head and sent a message to Lu Yungui, she invited him to this game, but he didn't come.
