Chapter Twenty-Four: Forced to Act
After following the road for a while, and not getting a reply from Carette, Demos's expression gradually changed.
"It's not good to be so tough, do you want your Hector to lose his memory forever?"
Carette immediately stopped. She also understands Demos's methods, from threats to inducements, and finally coercion, never wasting too much time and feelings.
I don't want to surrender, but...
His terrified gaze was focused on the beam of light that had risen rapidly on his right hand. is like the image in the projector, vividly interpreting the past scenes of her acquaintance and love with Jose, which is clear and distinct.
"That's all he's remembering about you, and if I'm broken now, it's never going to get back to his head!"
Demos's tone was cold and stiff.
The changing image blurred between his slowly curved fingers, and the thinner and thinner beams of light were held in his hands, and stared at Carret's lonely and helpless eyes.
When the light is completely gone, everything about her and Jose will be wiped out.
"No... No—" Kareta shook her head, her expression frightened.
She finally pounced on Demos just as he was about to clench his fingers, but he deliberately pulled the raised palm back, causing her to fall into his arms.
"I promise you—promise to be your girlfriend, promise to accompany you to dinner!
Kareta wept and looked up at Demos's grim face, her sad eyes full of pleading.
He won again—
Seeing Demos reclaim the light of her memories was relieved.
The grim demeanor softened Demos's face, a snickering of triumph hidden, and he gradually spread his arms around Karete, but she broke free in anger.
"Although I promised, you don't want to take advantage of it!" she stubbornly wiped her tears, her face ashamed. "Call me directly after booking a time and place!"
"Good!"
Looking at her back as she ran away, Demos smiled warmly.
——
Sitting at a table in the corner of the restaurant of the Diros Hotel, Demos looked at his watch from time to time, accompanied by Carreta to his right. Nearly half an hour has passed since the appointed time.
"Hey Sewell, I'm so sorry I'm late!"
The clear female voice accompanied by the sound of high heels hitting the ground from far to near. At the moment when Carreta put down the teacup in her hand, a young woman wearing a white fragrant dress and long brown wavy hair walked up quickly and gave Demos a big hug, who had already stood up to greet her.
What! The relationship is really unusual, otherwise how could the etiquette of meeting between the opposite sex be so enthusiastic?
Kareta stood to the side and squinted at them.
"Oh... How are you doing? I miss you!"
"She is worthy of being the proud eldest lady of the Kamenian family, and she still hasn't changed her love for being late..."
"I'm sorry, I'm a girl, so I have to dress up carefully. The... It's your girlfriend. ”
When she saw Carette, she was amazed by the look of the girl wrapped in brand-name luxury goods.
"I'm going to introduce, my girlfriend, Carreta Lachio. This is..."
"My name is Yusia. Eusia Carmenia, daughter of an Italian jeweler. ”
Seeing that Demos lightly grabbed Carret's waist, and a strange complex expression slid over Yusia's carefully dressed face, she scrambled to speak, her tone showing a slight arrogance.
"My father and I are both long-time patrons of the Sevier gallery's business. It's a pleasure to meet you, Miss Lachio. ”
"Fortunately. ”
They shook hands amicably.
Kareta could feel that the other party was deliberately showing off her social status to her, it was nothing more than the vulgar vanity of human women, and she didn't need to be like such a boring little woman.
It's no wonder that the Carmenian family is one of Italy's most famous jewellers, with a history dating back to the 18th century.
Half a month ago, it had just annexed Coloto, Greece's largest jewelry brand, and the news caused a great sensation in this island nation with blue seas and blue skies. These are all things that Carreta learned about through the TV news after she arrived in the human world.
"No wonder I feel a little familiar when I see her..."
After taking her seat, Yusia looked at Carette carefully again, and her eyes lit up.
"That's right, Sewell, the other day in your studio, I saw a half-finished oil painting of a naked girl..."
He was only halfway through his sentence and stopped suddenly. She was a little embarrassed and stuttered and laughed.
"Well, I'm unlucky, and the friends I've made are all big mouths. ”
Demos smiled wryly, turning his head to look at Kareta with an embarrassed expression. The other party had already blushed with anger, staring at him but speechless.
Having laughed enough, Yusia took out two exquisitely crafted invitations from her bright red bag.
"The purpose of our family visit to Greece was not only to put the finishing touches on the brand integration, but also to complete a personal task. My fiancé and I will hold a wedding ceremony here, and we will invite the two of you to enjoy the light at that time. ”
Demos flipped through the cover of the invitation and glanced at the contents of the invitation, and couldn't help but smile slightly.
"The Carmenian family is so talented that they even have a unique choice of church. Mitropol Cathedral, this is not something that ordinary people can do if they think about it. ”
The disguised praise made Yusia frown and flutter proudly.
"By the way, what about the bridegroom, why don't you call him with us at this gathering?"
"I'm sorry, he still has some work to do, I only introduced you to you at the wedding. He was the chief jewelry designer of the Coloto brand, and it took me a lot of effort to recruit him to my dad's command. He was able to defeat the Koloto family this time, and his credit is indeed not small. ”
"Really, it seems that you must have used a lot of extraordinary means to achieve your goal, right?" said Demos's sly smile.
"I hate Sevier, your mouth is so bad. ”
Yusia laughed and slapped him in punishment.
"My ancestors were also Greeks, and fallen leaves always come back to their roots. If we go back to the local area, Coloto will be the biggest stumbling block to our business, and we will have to gnaw on this hard bone. Okay, get something to eat, I'm starving. ”
