Finally, she wanted to leave but Louis did not intend to let her go, he wrapped his arms around her and pulled her into his lap. On the corridor, there were two or three people walking this way, talking and laughing, their voices were not small. Seeing that, Alice was even more anxious, struggling and struggling in his lap. But his arm was so strong, so strong, that no matter how much she tormented her, it was still as strong as a solid wall.
“It will be seen by others!” Alice gritted her teeth and yelled.
Louis seemed to enjoy teasing her, despite her impatience and irritation. Just as the other group was about to approach, his large hand gently hooked one, pulling her head to touch his chest. Her tall and tall body completely shielded Alice.
Those people swayed and swayed past, everywhere was the smell of alcohol. The lights are not very bright, and it is a place to play, so even if there is a passionate couple in the corner, it will not attract too much attention.
Waiting until there was no more movement, Alice's heart finally calmed down a bit. After all, this was Leon's territory, so it wouldn't be nice to let people see this scene. She pushed him once, but he still hugged her tightly from beginning to end and didn't let go.
“Let me out.” She couldn't be patient anymore, but she couldn't push him away either: "Louis, your great-grandfather!"
Hearing that, Louis's arm tightened even more, so tight that she almost lost her breath. He lowered his head to look at her, smiled but didn't smile: "What did I say on Ky Than Mountain?"
Alice stared at him, not understanding what he meant.
Louis didn't answer anymore, his handsome face suddenly approached. This action made her heart skip a beat. She turned away, Louis' lips brushing past her cheek and down to her earlobe.
Her whole body stiffened, thought she was dead, in her head, only the endless beeps remained. Louis' lips paused for a moment, then followed her neck and slid down. The bridge of her nose was high and straight, as if touching the hollow of her shoulder, as if it hadn't been touched. His breath was hot, as it swept over the bare skin of hers creating a stinging, itchy sensation.
The heart had a moment as if it was about to jump up to the throat. She gasped, her waist being held by his hand painfully.
After a while, she heard him smile softly in her ear: "It's really nice."
His voice was low and heavy, like a falling rock. There was a moment when she was suddenly dumbfounded, her heart was beating very fast, and her temple was also twitching every now and then. He raised his face slightly, borrowing the dim, flickering light above his head to observe her tension. His gaze moved freely across her face. Her lip shape is very beautiful, cherry pink lip color. She also has a pretty neck attached, slim, aesthetic. The most attractive people must mention her shoulder bones. If the two sides of the bone cavity were not too deep, if it became a lake at the foot of Thuong Mountain, the ripples of light on the lake surface would reflect her white skin.
Alice did her best to push him away. This time, he also let go of her hand as she wanted. The two stood a few centimeters apart. Although this distance was still only a few inches, it was still more than the sight of body and body pressed together. She felt her breathing was much clearer.
"Do you find it amusing to tease other people?" She frowned.
“How do you know what I said wasn't what I thought from the bottom of my heart?” Louis pursed his lips and smiled. After seeing her serious expression, he said again, "Sincere words are hard to hear, but I think you deserve to hear them."
“What are you going to say?”
“Stay away from Leon.” Louis said bluntly.
Alice was stunned. She did not expect him to say this sentence, even more surprised when he could say it so concisely and frankly. "What do you mean?" When she spoke again, a sense of vigilance rose throughout her body.
The corners of Louis' mouth remained relaxed from beginning to end, but the words that came out made people extremely frightened: "People often say that they sit under a big tree to cool off. But Leon can't be the big hand to keep her cool. Before long, even he himself would find it difficult to protect himself. So now what I need to do is quickly get out of the relationship with him, or else I will bring disaster to my body.”
Alice's heart was still pounding, but she forced herself to calm down: “If House Johnmy were to bring disaster, there would be great danger of poking him. Brother Luc, don't be so romantic as a human. Even the Johnny House never said it intended to swallow all the power in Goman, so he had to push every step of the way? Can't you from the Enchar clan of the Johnmy family fight back?"
Even though she said that, her heart was as bright as a mirror. This Louis is not a better talker than a doer, if you dare say something like that, you must have received some news or know something.
After listening, Louis laughed: "Do you think the person Leon offended is only influential in Goman? In the past few years, his influence has spread to many neighboring provinces and cities, and many people in the areas where he swallowed the power are trying to control their anger. The more food Leon swallows, the more people want to have his stomach removed.”
At this point, he paused slightly, reaching out his hand to gently tuck a strand of hair from her cheek behind her ear. Finished, he did not immediately pull his hand away, but slid down her earlobe, his slender finger gently caressing: " This Goman is about to get windy. Alice, follow me.”
Goman is about to get windy.
In this cold winter wind in December, when the winter sacrifice is about to approach, when the streets are about to be filled with flowers and lights to welcome the Lunar New Year. Louis took advantage of the fact that the Skyline hotel had a ghost to turn around, won a beautiful battle, successfully acquired the most valuable project land in Melona district, which was rumored by countless people in the world. Louis the reason why he won that land so smoothly, in addition to the conspiracy behind the calculation, there is also Gray's effective hand to help him lubricate government relations. Everyone said Gray was a "trump card" of Louis, from the very beginning when Louis came to Goman from afar, Gray had already arranged Gray on the side ready to wait for his orders.
Alice's two shops are located on the cultural street in the old city, located on East and West streets, facing each other, in the middle separated by a green stone road that has a history of hundreds of years. This cultural street is located right within the district of Melona, so for the past few days, every time Alice goes to the store, Alice has heard the surrounding owners discussing whether the future of this road will be carried out. how to improve?
Although most people only get news from unofficial sources, they still consider it as stories at the tea table to chat passionately. "One person's sorrow is another's joy", perhaps referring to the anxiety of residents when faced with whether this area will be completely renovated or just expanded.
It's been a while since Louis stood at Mistythic and said to her "Follow me." Alice admitted that there were many things that could pass through her stomach, only his words were still ringing in her ears. Sometimes she even woke up from a dream, then raised her hand to rub it, only to find that her forehead was covered in cold sweat.
That day she answered Louis that: Follow me? Brother Luc, have you ever thought that maybe my greed is bigger than Leon's?
Perhaps each nightmare occurred not because of Louis' words, but because of the answer she gave him afterwards. Alice knows herself well, inside she hides a monster, thanks to Leon for many years, she was able to suppress the brutality of that beast. She didn't know how much longer she could suppress it. That bad premonition grew stronger and stronger. Perhaps Louis is the one who will let the beast escape. After that, she would no longer be Alice, and her life would no longer be peaceful.
Leon did not waver at Louis' determination and strength. During this time, he was outside a lot, and when he returned to Goman, he was also filled with preparations for the upcoming winter festival. Him and Louis, on the surface it looked like someone was busy with his or her own business. But with the speed of exploitation of the land in Atham district, the Melona side is also affected at times.
The people around might not understand all the nuances of this, but Alice could. Leon lost that land, but that doesn't mean he can't extend its mining time.
This afternoon, there were two small cats lounging in the sun on the empty window sill of Alice's shop. Seeing her coming, they didn't even raise their eyes to blink, just continued to bury their heads in a deep sleep. On the contrary, Ely came out from the house, pouting and c*****g her chin inward, indicating that someone had come to find her.
Around this time, Ely completely became Alice's toned legs. He didn't have the face to go to Leon anymore, so every day Alice opened the shop, he also became the odd cleaner here.
Alice peered inside, her eyes showing no sign of surprise or surprise. She instructed Ely to carry a pot of raw tea* over.
* Raw tea: Unprocessed, naturally stored, unprocessed tea, when drinking, it feels more stimulating.
The one who came to the empty store was Lance.
She sat on the tea chair next to the railing in the back garden, just lifting her head slightly, she could feel the afternoon sunlight of Naxi small courtyard, and at the same time see Alice coming.
Alice is dressed neatly today, with a dark brown goatskin jacket on top, a dark shirt lining underneath, combined with a pair of casual jeans. The hem is tucked into short black boots. She wore short, dark jute hair again, with a few loose curls on her forehead. When the sunlight shines on, it enhances her white face even more, making her more handsome.
She sat down across from Lance, one arm resting on the railing, looking both languid and handsome. Ely quickly brought up the tea. As he placed the teapot on the table separating the two, he saw Alice's fingers resting on the railing tapping each beat, each rhythmic beat.
The other eyes are tattooed downwards, but the long eyes are still visible. Only blame her wrist is too thin, so it shows the narrow and long shape of the tattoo.
After Ely put the oven on, Alice waved him out. Before leaving, Ely also turned to look at Alice's back somewhat suspiciously, muttering in her heart: Why make you bring raw tea? Isn't that the girl who always follows Louis? Logically speaking, with the personality of the Enchar House, all it takes is a cup of hot tea and then chase her away, but drinking raw tea, does that mean the two of them have a conversation?
At this time, Alice used the tea tongs to turn over some fragrant coals in the oven. With the flames rising and the coals moving, a faint scent also began to fill the air.
"This season, it is rare to be able to smell such pure ylang-ylang." Lance spoke softly.
Alice did not look up, after flipping a few times she put the tea tongs aside, silently waiting for the tea to burst: “I like the scent of ylang-ylang, so making this fragrant charcoal is not difficult for you. "
