With a "clang", the small round mirror fell to the floor. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"Hey honey, what's wrong with you?" Cathy's voice came from the kitchen. She stuck her head out and looked into the living room, only to see that Royce was smiling at her, so she nodded, smiled softly, retracted her head, and continued to work in the kitchen. Clearly, she thought it was an accident.
Royce waited for her head to retract, his face changed suddenly, he carefully picked up the mirror, and then walked towards the kitchen, and said as he went, "What will be dinner today?"
"Steak and spaschetti...... Uh, and onion soup. Cathy looked back at Royce and said with a look of concern, "If you're still feeling sick, then go and lie down on the couch in the living room." I'll be fine soon, and when the time comes, I'll call you. ”
Royce's face tensed a little, nodded and said, "Okay, okay, I'll go and lie down in the living room." With that, he hurriedly walked into the living room, but did not lie down, but went out directly from the living room, walked to the garage, hurriedly got into the car, and opened the garage door.
"Boom-" The second-hand car made a loud sound, and he slammed the accelerator, and the car rushed out of the garage and sped desperately towards downtown Los Angeles.
"Hey, Royce—" Cathy rushed out of the kitchen and shouted at the rear of the car, "Hey." Where are you going?"
But the car had disappeared at the intersection and was nowhere to be found. She frowned a little worriedly, then took out her mobile phone and dialed Royce's phone number, and the phone worked, but was quickly hung up, and when she called again, the phone was turned off directly. This made her drop her phone on the couch with some chagrin.
It was clear that everything was fine just now, but something so sudden happened that she couldn't even find the reason. Royce left in a hurry, more worried about his safety.
"Damn it, isn't there anything important you can't just say and leave?" Cathy sighed, sinking into a kind of self-melancholy, staring a little blankly at the row of trees in front of the house, and even the smell of burnt kitchen left her indifferent.
Yes, it happened too suddenly.
Not only did Cathy come suddenly, but Royce also felt sudden. He was frightened, and when the kitchen shone on Cathy's face, his first thought was to run away quickly, far away. That's the first thing that came to his mind.
When the car was getting farther and farther away from the villa, his flustered heart slowly calmed down, and he touched the small round mirror in his hand, and couldn't help but remember the scene when he met Jia Huan and what he said.
After thinking clearly, he jerked his steering wheel and sped towards the inn where Nina was. The car soon arrived at the door of the hotel, he hurriedly got out of the car, walked to the front desk, and when he looked, he didn't find Nina, it was another brown-haired girl with a round face.
"I'm looking for Nina—" Royce said to the girl with his hands propped up at the front desk, "Please, I have a very urgent matter for her." Or you can help me find out one of the tenants here, named Huan Jia, and say I'm looking for him, and my name is Royce. Royce Courtney. He knows my name. ”
"You're a friend of Nina's, sorry, Mr. Royce Kourtney, Nina is on the evening shift today, and she's either sleeping at home or going out to play. And also...... Our customers are not free to provide it to you. It's the rule...... But you can leave a message or a note, and I can bring it to him. ”
"Hell!" Royce scolded, and then said to the round-faced girl at the front desk with an ugly face, "If you don't make this call, then ...... You're going to face one thing, and that's I'm going to be killed...... yes, don't look at me in such surprise, I'm going to be killed......"
"Sir...... I think you should go to the police...... If you're still talking nonsense, I'll call the police......" The round-faced girl said, and was about to pick up the landline phone next to her, but Royce held it down.
"Please—" Royce couldn't help but plead, "please, just call that guy and tell him...... Royce is looking for him, and as for him not coming down to see me, this is his business, and he will not force it, God testifies, I am his friend......"
The round-faced girl finally found Jia Huan's room number in confusion, and then dialed the internal phone. But unfortunately, the phone rang for a long time and no one answered. The round-faced girl shrugged her shoulders at Royce, spread her hands and said, "I'm sorry, I've done my best." ”
Royce shook his head in a depressed mood and turned around slowly, he left the hotel and drove around the city aimlessly, he didn't dare to return to the rented villa. Eating something in the restaurant indiscriminately, his heart suddenly tightened when he recalled the scene he saw.
When I turned on my phone, I suddenly heard the sound of various prompts continuously.
There are reminders for missed calls, and there are also reminders for text messages. And it was all sent by one person. That's Cathy. He flipped through a text message, which was full of care and anxiety.
"Honey, where have you been, you went out in a hurry, the phone can't get through, if something happens, I want the two of us to face it together......"
"I don't know exactly what's going on, but honey, you still have me!"
Royce read all the text messages, a total of twenty-eight text messages. Every twenty minutes a text message would come in, and the content would be similar, but it could be seen that Cathy cared deeply about Royce.
"God, what should I do?" so many text messages made Royce's heart begin to waver, especially when his mind was full of Cathy's beautiful face, and the warm picture when the two were together.
Damn little mirror. Thinking of this, Royce suddenly grabbed the small round mirror and threw it towards the road. But when the small round mirror was thrown out, it suddenly turned into a ray of light and disappeared into the sky.
As if he had made up his mind, Royce picked up his mobile phone and dialed a call, and after the mobile phone rang, he heard a woman's voice, full of surprise and anxiety: "It's me, Royce, is it you?"
"Yes, it's me, I'm Royce,"
Royce whispered into his phone.
In a restaurant in Los Angeles, Jia Huan was eating slowly. Sitting across from him was Nina. The two were eating veal steaks. Nina is in a good mood. She finally had a second official date with Jia Huan. She didn't know if she was in a relationship, but it was at least a good start.
"I know an Italian restaurant that tastes very good, I can take you to try it next time!" Nina, this girl has a good heart, and she is already planning her next date.
"Of course, I enjoy food from all over the world. Jia Huan cut a piece of steak and put it in his mouth. Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly saw a light pass through the air, and then it fell into his palm, and there was already an extra mirror in his palm.
The light, like a ray of sunlight coming in through the window, didn't attract anyone's attention at all, including Nina, who was sitting across from her, and didn't notice anything unusual.
Jia Huan held this mirror and couldn't help frowning. With a flick of his palm, the mirror disappeared into his palm, raised his head, looked at Nina and said, "Do you think Royce is a good person?"
"Of course, he's a good guy and I like him. Why do you want to mention him at this time?" Nina felt that Jia Huan's question was very strange, and looked at him suspiciously, "Don't hit his girlfriend's idea." "This girl is thinking too much.
"Good people don't usually live long. Jia Huan shook his head and smiled, he had already given Royce a chance, but he didn't grasp it. Maybe that's how fate decided its own destiny in the wrong decision.
Royce returned home, and he drove fast along the way. When he got home, it was already night, and he quietly parked the car outside the gate, and then crept in, trying to surprise Cathy. I wanted to tell her in person that he shouldn't have believed the words of a stranger, and that the mirror that was suspicious of her must be a prank.
