C10 Cross the River and Destroy the Bridge

"Dear ~" When Clifton opened his mouth, Naomi felt goosebumps all over her body. She then quietly picked it up.

Fortunately, there was no one around. Otherwise, it would be hard to tell the gender of the two of them in the men's and women's restroom.

"Mr. Cobb, what do you think about having dinner with the Heavenly Queen?"

Clifton rubbed Naomi's head and used the gentlest smile to answer Naomi's curiosity, "I feel very good."

Tsk tsk, as expected, Naomi knew that this lustful man would not feel good. She automatically ignored the unhappiness in her heart.

"Then let me feel what this very good feeling is." Naomi's eyes were filled with hope. Clifton would not be able to resist teasing her.

Although Naomi did not understand why this man had such a unique hobby, most of the time, Clifton would not refuse her request after teasing her. Therefore, Naomi was very thick-skinned and ignored his difficulties.

Just like now, Clifton whispered into her ear, "About the conditions, I'll tell you tonight. Wait for me."

Naomi's face was flushed red. She should have been a young woman, but this man had easily aroused her emotions. Naomi thought that perhaps she was too old and could not take it anymore. She was even more fragile than when she was young.

When Clifton held Naomi's hand and walked outside, Naomi really rejected him at first.

When Naomi saw Bonnie’s surprised expression, she recalled her struggle to reject her offer and felt that it was too late to think about it.

The empress was also surprised, but Clifton did not seem to have any intention of explaining. He called for the waiter and ordered some dishes for Naomi. Although the empress was a little embarrassed, she did not dare to ask any further questions, so Naomi was relieved.

As expected, the boss was a target for everyone. Pah, everyone was afraid of him.

The empress was not stupid. Anyone could offend her, but she could not offend money and power. Coincidentally, both of these things were in Clifton's hands. Although she had always wanted to seduce this cold CEO, he was indifferent to her every meal. She felt very embarrassed, but she did not want to reject Clifton when he asked her out on a date.

Therefore, today, Clifton's date had benefited Naomi's work. It even exceeded her expectations. Because the interview went smoothly, she even asked a lot of news that other media outlets did not have.

After interviewing Naomi, he returned to his table. Clifton lowered his head and smiled. He muttered to himself, "You are such a small thing who wants to destroy the bridge after crossing the river."

Then, he looked at the empress who had been trying to please him all this time. She was still indifferent.

At this time, Bonnie was almost done eating. Naomi ordered a glass of drink and passed the fruits to Bonnie.

"Not bad, you are good. You can still think of work at this time. You did not ask why he was with the empress and even went to interview her. How disgusting."

Naomi was very pleased with Bonnie’s praise. Although she felt a little unnatural, she tried her best to maintain a gentle attitude when she asked questions. Although the questions were sharp, they could always comfort her spirit.

Naomi saw that the other party still had no intention of leaving, so she went to buy a meal and left first. Before she left, she went up to greet them.

A few days later, he said, "Tonight is Sherman’s birthday. If I can go and congratulate him personally, that would be great."

How straightforward was that? Clifton really didn't know how to appreciate the beauty of the world. He played with the lighter in his hand and saw Naomi walking over to play with Naomi's dress.

"Don't forget about Grandfather's birthday tonight."

Naomi didn't know why the expression of the certain day's queen instantly turned pale. She thought that she might have been severely injured, but the questions she asked just now didn't seem to be that powerful.

"Okay, I'll be leaving first. Have a good meal."

After Naomi greeted Bonnie, she left the restaurant with her. The sun was high up in the sky outside, so the two of them strolled around for a while before they left.

When they returned home, they found that there was a gift box on the bed. When they opened it, they saw that it was a red dress with a light veil on the outside. They were very tired today, but when they saw the dress, they felt a sense of comfort. What was it that made her feel this way?

She thought about it. It was probably because this dress suited her very well.

The old mansion of the Cobb family hosted Sherman’s birthday banquet. The road leading to the mansion was covered with green grasses. The largest house was the old mansion of the Cobb family.

From the evening, the cars on the wide and bright green road started to move towards the end of the road.

Naomi successfully entered the villa. No one made things difficult for her. Looking at the European style of the Cobb family, there was a touch of French romance in the boldness. After she came down from the stairs, Clifton was playing cards on the table.

When Clifton saw Naomi in her evening dress, his eyes flashed with surprise. He waved to her and asked her to come over.

Tonight, Clifton was dressed very formally. Unlike his usual office attire, he was usually meticulous. Today, he was a gentleman from the West.

Naomi walked to Clifton's side. She didn't know what he was thinking. "What is it?"

Clifton pointed to the cigarette and lighter on the table. "Follow me and light a cigarette."

The people who were playing cards with Clifton were all good friends. When they saw this scene, they couldn't help but tease him, "Mr. Cobb really doesn't know how to cherish women. Come to me. I won't let you light a cigarette. Just stay by the side."

Clifton kicked the man under the table. The man immediately shut his mouth and swallowed his saliva. Clifton actually kicked him for a woman. It was like Mars hitting Earth.

"Go to the side."

Naomi's cheeks were red. "I'll go to the bathroom."

Clifton glared at the group of bastards on the table. "Mmm, go. Turn left and right. Go early and come back early."

"Pfft." A little monkey couldn't help but laugh. What the hell was this little wife of his, Clifton, afraid that her husband had been lost? Was this still the Clifton he knew?

Naomi wanted to go to the washroom to wash up, but was stopped by Norma at the door.

"Naomi, why didn't you come to our engagement banquet? It's such a pity that you didn't see Elijah kissing me so deeply."

Norma wiped her hands and splashed the water on Naomi's body.

Naomi frowned. Was such an occasion really suitable for a lady like her to come out and cause trouble? She wanted to call the police.

Naomi ignored her words. When she saw that she wanted to leave, she did not listen to her at all. In a fit of anger, she grabbed Naomi's wrist. It was wet on the ground, and Naomi did not expect her to grab her. She fell to the ground without any preparation.

Perhaps because she had used too much strength, Naomi was knocked out and fell into a wide and familiar embrace.

Clifton picked up Naomi and rubbed her head with his palm.

"Be good."

Her voice was very gentle, causing Naomi to nod her head in a daze.

Finally, Clifton glared at the terrified Norma and said, "Villegas family, huh? Very good."

When Naomi woke up, she found herself in the hospital. When she saw the headlines on the newspaper, her headache that was slightly better immediately started to hurt again. Oh no, her parents must have found out about her condition.

Sure enough, at noon, Barney rushed to the hospital after reading the news. When he saw Naomi's haggard face, he felt his heart ache.

Geneva glared at Barney with a serious face. Since her daughter graduated and started working, she rarely had the chance to meet him. Today, she was still wearing a stern face.

Naomi leaned on her mother's shoulder guiltily. Wasn't the big photo on the newspaper the back of Clifton who carried her out of the banquet? Although it was only a side profile, it was her parents. How could she not recognize her?

"Naomi, tell your father who the man is." The mother gave Barney a way out, telling him not to be too arrogant. Her daughter was already so old. Did she really think that she was still your student?

"Dad, Mom, I just went to work. There were a lot of people at the banquet, so something happened. However, a kind-hearted person saw me and sent me to the hospital. Don't think too much about it. Your school is so busy. Go back and do what you have to do. I'm fine."

Naomi pointed at her finger and frowned. Geneva immediately felt her heart ache. She no longer asked about it and pulled Barney away. Geneva had always been open to the child’s education. It was similar to the care of a child who was left behind, but it was definitely heart-wrenching. At the critical moment, she would always stand on the child’s side and let her go.
