C74 I Don't like It!
Author?
Why was he here too?
Hearing the name Author, Lydia frowned slightly.
What exactly was going on between Reece and the Author? Why was he so persistent in trying to get something from her?
She was curious, but she quickly put her thoughts aside out of politeness.
She tactfully refused, "Teacher, there's no need to trouble yourself. I'll just drive to school myself."
"Anyway, I have to come to school tomorrow anyway. It's just a matter of convenience for me to pick you up, so it's not troublesome." Just as she said that, she heard Author's lazy voice from the other end of the phone.
Lydia froze.
The author was beside the teacher?
Just as she was about to reject him again, Author hung up the phone and said, "Little sweetheart, see you tomorrow morning at eight o'clock."
"Li..." Hearing the busy tone from the phone, Lydia helplessly put away the phone.
She knew that no matter how hard she tried, no one would accept her request.
Since she had come, she had to accept her fate. She chose to remain indifferent.
After putting away the phone, she continued to eat her food. She didn't notice that the man's eyes were filled with a dark mist, and the coldness was seeping out of them.
"Yo, there's so much delicious food! It seems that I came at the right time."
At this moment, Loran walked in from the outside.
Seeing the table full of dishes, he, who was starving, called out to Ora for a pair of chopsticks.
Just as his buttocks touched the chair, he bumped into his sixth brother. "What are you doing here so late at night?"
Ugh...
This tone was not friendly!
Loran looked up at Reece.
Although the man's expression was the same as usual, he could still tell from the bottom of his eyes that he was angry and irritated.
Not good!
He came at the wrong time.
He tensed up slightly as he thought about the cold man. "I, I..."
"It's just a project between the school and the enterprise. Can't you do it yourself? Why are you chasing me?" The man glanced at Loran with annoyance.
Loran was dumbfounded. "What?"
What?
Sixth brother, what are you talking about? Project between the school and the enterprise?
Did he tell him about this project?
Just as he was still in shock, Reece suddenly stood up and left him with a cold back. "What's the use of you?"
"..." Loran instantly broke out in a cold sweat. He was finished. He was being looked down upon by his sixth brother.
What was this project between the school and the enterprise? Why couldn't he remember it?
"Tomorrow, I will personally go to the administration department to discuss the process and choose interns from there. You will accompany me!" Reece paused for a moment and glanced at Loran, who was scratching his head and trying to remember the project between the school and the enterprise.
Loran was afraid that he would offend his sixth brother, so he didn't dare to ask any more questions.
He nodded repeatedly. "Okay!"
As if he had thought of something, Loran looked up at his sixth brother.
Loran followed Reece's gaze and saw that the only person on his left was the calm and collected Lydia.
His sixth brother was looking at Lydia?
When he turned around in confusion, he saw Reece walking towards the study room on the second floor in annoyance.
Loran quickly followed him and closed the door. He asked with a smile, "Sixth brother, when are you going to school tomorrow?"
The man on the seat paused for a moment and thought for a few seconds. Then, he said coldly, "...Eight o'clock!"
Loran nodded. "Oh." He blinked at the man's cold face. "Sixth brother, who did you get angry at? Then, why are you punching me?"
Reece paused for a moment and rubbed his forehead. He looked up at Loran, who was smiling at him, and asked, "Is that so?"
"Yes, of course! You gave me a hard time when I first arrived. I was so scared that I broke out in a cold sweat! And..." Loran nodded. "When did you let me handle the cooperation between the school and the enterprise?"
Facing Loran's questioning, Reece calmly leaned back on the sofa and said, "Just now."
Loran was speechless.
Sixth brother, don't you feel bad?
He clutched the heart in his hand and leaned against his seat, pretending to be in pain as he complained, "Brother Six, you are being so heartless!"
"Since you've already decided that I'm not honest, then I might as well prove my innocence." The man raised his eyebrows. "Tonight, I'll contact University of Goulcrest and tell them that the company has agreed to the cooperation between the school and the enterprise. Tomorrow, I'll personally go to the school to select the talent."
"…" Hearing this, Loran's heart was in pain, but he did not dare to complain anymore. He could only groan in his heart.
Oh heavens, why is my life so bitter!
Recently, Brother Six has changed!
Not only was his taste extremely low, but... he was becoming more and more inhumane.
"What are you still standing there for? Go and do it immediately!" Before he could even catch his breath, the man's voice sounded in his ears once again.
Hearing this, Loran clutched his aching heart and looked up at the sky. "I think I might need a heart-protecting pill."
"I don't have a heart-protecting pill, but do you want to cook some meat? Hmm?"
"Ahem, no, no, I'll go and do it. I'll go and do it right now!" Loran was so afraid that his entire body was covered in cold sweat. He suddenly let go of his hand that was holding the heart.
Then, he left the study room as fast as he could.
The door slammed shut, and the man on the seat's mouth was slanted into a straight line.
He pinched the space between his eyebrows with a headache. His expression was extremely ugly. "Reece... What are you doing?!"
"You really don't look like you anymore."
"Heh!"
He smiled helplessly, his heart filled with complicated emotions.
He had never thought that he, who had always been calm and collected, would do such ridiculous things because of a phone call from Lydia.
Some things had already escaped his control.
...
Eight o'clock in the morning.
Ring, ring, ring.
Lydia's phone rang. She looked at the number on the screen and gently swiped her finger to the right to pick up the call.
"I'm here. You can come down now, sweetheart."
Lydia replied with a simple "Okay" and put away the phone.
She picked up her bag and walked out.
As soon as he reached the courtyard, he saw the eye-catching yellow Ferrari sportscar not far away.
She wanted to walk up to him, but a car suddenly stopped in front of her.
The man in the car opened the door and looked at her indifferently. "Get in the car!"
Lydia was shocked.
"What are you waiting for? Sixth Bro told you to get in the car!" Loran added impatiently when he saw that she didn't move.
He looked at the woman below and couldn't understand why Sixth Bro had taken a fancy to her.
What was so good about her?!
She was just courting death!
"...Why?" Lydia ignored Loran and looked at the man.
"Just passing by," the man said faintly.
Lydia was stunned again. Her eyes were filled with surprise.
Was he going to University of Goulcrest as well?
She pursed her lips and looked in the direction of Author's car. "No need. Someone is already waiting for me."
Lydia nodded politely and turned around to walk past the car.
However, in the next second, her arm was grabbed by a large hand.
She was suddenly pulled to the back by a strong force, and she was about to fall back to the side of a man when a hand suddenly grabbed her other arm.
Suddenly, her body froze on the spot.
"Oh, Mr. Tillman, we meet again!" Author grabbed Lydia's arm and looked at the man in the car provocatively.
Reece ignored the Author and looked at Lydia. "Get in the car."
"Mr. Tillman, are you trying to steal my business?" Author sneered and intentionally made his words controversial.
In the next second, the man's face darkened.
Author?
Did they already know each other?
In a split second, Author took advantage of his inattentiveness and pulled Lydia to his side. He smirked at Reece.
Their eyes met, and a layer of black mist appeared in Reece's eyes.
Seeing this, the Author deliberately looked at Lydia, who was beside him, and complained, "Little sweetheart, have you forgotten that I was waiting for you? How can you get into someone else's car?"
Lydia's words sent goosebumps up her back.
Not only was Ava's skin crawling with goosebumps, but Loran's was also crawling with goosebumps.
'Damn it! Is this Young Master Lee's way of complaining?'
However, the next second, Loran felt that something was amiss. His expression darkened.
Author was trying to poach Sixth Brother!
He secretly glanced at Reece, who was standing opposite him. The anger in the man's eyes was enough to destroy the entire Goulcrest in a second. It was a terrifying sight to behold.
Loran closed his eyes in despair as he was overwhelmed by the man's cold expression.
It was fine if this woman wanted to court death, but could she not be hit by him every time? He wanted to live for a few more years. He was not married yet, and he had not even given birth yet.
'Oh, heavens, who can save me?'
At this moment, Reece coldly swept his gaze across Author and his gaze once again landed on Lydia.
Instead of being angry, he smiled and patted the seat beside him. "Honey, get in the car!"
Lydia was speechless.
Loran was speechless.
Author: "..."
The wife's voice was not loud, but it was deadly to the Author.
He knew that this man was telling him that no matter how much trouble he caused, he would always be his wife. As for the outsiders, they were nothing more than his friends!
Immediately, Author's face turned ashen.
At this moment, Reece had already dragged Lydia into the car.
Author reached out his hand to pull him away, but the man closed the door with a cold face.
With a clang, Author’s hand was pinched, and his charming features twisted.
The man in the car looked at him coldly and opened the door to let Author’s hand go. Then, he slammed the door shut.
He ordered the driver in front of him, "Drive!"
"Yes, sir!"
The driver didn't dare to delay and drove away.
In the car, the eyes of the author fell on the woman. He frowned and opened his thin lips. He then said, "Don't interact with him in the future."
"Who is it? Author?" Seeing that the man had already agreed, she frowned in confusion. "Why?"
Why?
The man frowned again.
After a long time, he looked at her and said, "Because I don't like him."
These words struck a chord in her heart, and she felt her heart thumping.
