When they arrived at Ellison's villa, Hailey had already packed up everything and was waiting for them
in the living room. There were two big suitcases, one small suitcase and one small bag.
"All the things are here?" Looking at these suitcases and Hailey, Lily asked.
"Yes." Hailey nodded with a calm expression on her face. Then she stood up from the sofa and said,
"Let's go."
Then she handed a big suitcase to Eric, "Help me take this."
Then she handed the smallest suitcase to Lily and said, "Lily, take this one."
Finally, she took a big suitcase and a small bag.
"Let's go." After she arranged everything, her tone was emotionless and she didn't seem to miss this
place at all.
Seeing her like this, Lily and Eric looked at each other, and then she blinked and asked, "Just leave like
this?"
"Or what?" Hailey raised her eyebrows and asked.
"Well..." This question really confused Lily. It was all Ellison's fault!
"Ahem..." Eric cleared his throat and looked at Hailey, "well, don't you tell second brother?"
"I told him yesterday." Hailey replied indifferently and walked out with her suitcase.
Lily and Eric looked at each other again, and then the two followed her.
Catching up with Hailey, Lily asked awkwardly, "Well… Isn't brother at home?"
"No, I don't know he is on which woman's bed." Hailey said angrily.
Lily really couldn't do anything about such an answer. Ellison was really enough. Deep in his heart, he
obviously liked Hailey, but he had to show that he didn't like her.
Now he is leaving, but he can't even see a person. At least you should stay at home!
Eric was also helpless. He was a little boy, and he really didn't know how to persuade others.
Persuade a woman? It seemed that he couldn't do it, because he didn't know what women were
thinking. His mother and Lily were the most women he had met so far.
Persuading a man? That would be even more impossible. What's more, Ellison had experienced much
more women than her. There was no need for him to persuade him!
That's it. Everything will be solved.
Putting all the luggage in the trunk, they all got on the car. Eric was the unchanged driver, and Lily
chose to sit in the back seat with Hailey.
After the car started, Hailey leaned against the back of the seat and closed her eyes for rest, but said,
"If Ellison asks, don't tell him where I am."
Although she didn't say it by name, both Lily and Eric knew that she said it to them.
"Okay." Lily answered.
"But I don't think he wants to know either." Hailey laughed at herself, "He wants me to leave and have
fun every night."
Uh…
Lily felt sorry for Ellison in her heart. If Hailey really gave up on him, he would probably come back to
pester her when he realized one day.
"Actually, brother is not..."
"I'll sleep for a while. Call me when we arrive." Eric wanted to speak for Ellison, but was interrupted by
Hailey as soon as he opened his mouth. Then she opened her eyes and took a look at Eric from the
rearview mirror. "I need to be quiet these days, so don't tell anyone my whereabouts."
She emphasized again, closed her eyes and continued to rest, and this person naturally referred to
Ellison.
At the same time, Ellison, who was playing with fire and didn't know it, was lying on the sofa in the
house of Noble. He was quiet, looking at the ceiling and thinking about something.
Sitting next to him, Noble was smoking with a cigarette between his fingers. The smoke swirled in the
air, making people feel unreal.
Neither of the two spoke. The living room was very quiet. It was not until he finished smoking and
stubbed out the cigarette in the ashtray that he broke the silence. "When are you going to be so
absent-minded?"
Hearing this, Ellison turned to look at Noble, listless, and spit out three words, "I don't know."
Casting a sidelong glance at him, Noble leaned his upper body against the back of the sofa and asked,
"Did you sleep with a woman for a long time last night and get dried up?"
"Don't talk nonsense." Ellison frowned and looked a little angry.
"You didn't go back last night. Why did you come to me this morning to be in a daze? Wasn't you
raped?" When he said this, there was a faint smile in his black eyes.
"I didn't hang out with women last night!" Ellison scratched his head remorsefully. "I slept in the office."
"Oh..." His voice was a little long and meaningful. "It's rare that you don't go to find a woman. It's also
strange."
"I'm not interested." As soon as he finished his words, Ellison looked listless again. He was lying on the
sofa, staring at the ceiling, with his eyes unfocused.
"Not interested?" As if he had heard a joke, Noble smiled, "You really impress me. The playboy Ellison
has lost interest in women."
Well, Noble admitted that he was taking pleasure in his misfortune at the moment.
Rolling his eyes, Ellison glanced at him crossly, "Boss, don't you laugh at me?"
Today, he was really unusual. He was not only making fun of him, but also laughing at him. It seemed
to be not his usual style.
"Why did you come here today? If you have nothing else to do, just go back. I don't have time to
accompany you."
This was what he looked like under normal circumstances. Ellison withdrew his sight and stretched his
feet lazily. "I'm fine, but I don't want to go back either."
At the thought of going back, he felt very unhappy. Logically speaking, if Hailey moved away today, he
would have a very free life from now on, which was a very happy thing. But now he did not feel happy
at all. Instead, he felt a little disappointed. What the hell was this state of mind!
"You don't want to go back and see Hailey leave?" Noble pointed it out directly.
"How is that possible?" Ellison glanced at him and said, "I wish I could set off firecrackers to send her
away. I won't be free until she leaves."
"Really?" Glancing at him.
"Of course!" Ellison emphasized.
Putting his hand on his forehead, Noble thought, 'if he really think so, he would have already gone
back. He wouldn't have been sitting here listlessly.'
Obviously, he wanted others to stay, but he didn't know how to say, so he had to hide here to kill time.
"Well, that's it." "I got the news that the people from the province will come to the Guan city for
inspection next month. You'll be ready then."
"The provincial inspection?" Ellison frowned in confusion.
"Yes." Answered Noble. He took out a cigarette and lit it. "The leaders are planning to replan the Guan
city, and they happened to meet the senior leaders changing their positions. You know this. The new
officials take three fires in office. If the new leaders want to make some achievements, the first choice
is the Guan city."
Hearing this, Ellison became interested. He narrowed his eyes and asked, "You mean our business
opportunity has come?"
"Yes, of course we should strive for the opportunity to come to our door." Taking a deep breath, Noble
exhaled slowly.
"Have you decided the specific time?" Ellison asked.
"No, I just got the internal information that someone would come next month. The specific time and
number of people are not confirmed yet."
"Okay."
"Don't tell anyone about this. When the time comes, you can find an opportunity to pull strings." Then,
he took another puff with his cigarette between his fingers, and said in an elegant manner, "I'm
probably a little busy here. First of all, I have to hand over the company that my grandfather asked me
to temporarily manage to Eric in G city. After that, I can come back to manage my own company."
Ellison nodded, "Then what's his plan for the Gu family?"
"I don't know the details yet." "The fact that Richard had an illegitimate child completely angered the
Eric. According to my understanding of Eric, when the situation in G City stabilized, the Gu family might
be ready to make a move."
"I think so." Ellison agreed, "He is also tolerant. If I were him, I would have done it a long time ago."
"The situation is different." There was a hint of meaning in his tone. "At the beginning, he was never
interested in family business. Otherwise, a small company would have been controlled by him long
ago. It was because of the appearance of Lily that changed him and made him realize what he was
doing now. Therefore, what could change a man, in the final analysis, was there someone in his heart
that deserved to be taken care of and protected."
"You are right." Ellison smiled, "But he has changed very fast. He has known Lily for only a few months.
How many people can make such a rapid progress? After all, Lily has made a great contribution."
"Yes." "Didn't you notice? Lily is also very smart. At a young age, she knows how to weigh the
advantages and disadvantages. She knows what kind of business she can do and what kind of
business she can't. If Eric doesn't advance, he will become a gigolo with her."
"Ha ha..." Ellison chuckled, "I think if Lily is not bullied, he will be a toy boy at ease."
"No, he won't." Said Noble firmly. Then he looked at Ellison with a smile and said, "If we don't have the
strength, you are the one who is most likely to become a toy boy."
"Hum..." Ellison rolled his eyes, "This assumption doesn't exist, because I have become a powerful
man."
"Really?" "Then why don't you dare to face Hailey?"
"Of course I dare to face it!" The topic was brought back to the starting point. Ellison almost jumped up
from the sofa. "I don't want to see her for a moment! So, before she leaves, I will never go back!"
Taking a glance at him indifferently, Noble didn't say anything. Instead, he stood up and went upstairs,
leaving a sentence, "Ellison, you are running away from reality. Ask yourself what kind of feeling you
have for Hailey."
"I..." Ellison was stunned, looking at the direction he went upstairs.
After a long while, he looked away. What else feelings could he have for Hailey? Of course, he wanted
her to leave his villa, so that he could continue to live the past, how comfortable and relaxed!
