Chapter 10

Arriving just at the junction, Alston saw the red light and stopped at the zebra crossing, looking at Edith with amusement.

"Huh? "

"Mr Alston, I don't know what you're talking about."

Edith wasn't sure why Alston knew he could do the over-the-shoulder, only that right now, in front of Alston, he just couldn't.

Looking at the person in front of him pretending, Alston eyes with a smile, long fingers in the steering wheel edge rhythmic knocking:

"Edith Miss can this be a nobleman much forgetfulness, in the school wrestling male classmates are quite clever, now how not to admit it?"

"I don't trust you with Jenny with this memory."

At those words, Edith's body stiffened, and subconsciously her eyebrows knit up, she knew what Alston was talking about, that she had dropped Louis at school last time.

"But how did Alston know?"

"He'd seen it?"

She had been so focused on cleaning up after Louis and Sharon that she had forgotten that Alston had been in the car park at the time, and he must not have left at the time and seen the whole thing!

Edith nearly slapped her leg in chagrin, her eyes narrowing slightly as she quickly thought of a countermeasure.

She looked to Alston lowered her eyebrows and said in mock shame,

 "I'm sorry Mr Alston, I lied to maintain a good image in front of President Alston, I was afraid that if I appeared to be too rude President Alston wouldn't let me be Jenny's teacher."

"Miss Edith cares what I think?"

Alston raised an eyebrow and lowered his voice a few notches to be more magnetic.

Edith didn't care for the few hints of tentativeness in Alston's words and nodded her head desperately, a pair of clear eyes full of sincerity, full of sincerity for that half a million dollars!

Alston noticed that Edith's seatbelt was not fastened tightly, and pressed his body forward towards her, wanting to help her fasten the seatbelt firmly.

Edith, however, subconsciously leaned back and put her hand against Alston's forehead to keep her distance.

The man was wearing a thin grey shirt and beige trousers, different from the elite model of suits and dresses, less sharp and aggressive, more lazy and noble, but despite this, Edith could still feel the oppressive aura that could not be dispersed from Alston's body.

The mellow and steady wood aroma faintly attacked, through the layer of clothes Edith could also feel Alston's sturdy and powerful pectoral muscles, suddenly hot fingertips, and Alston looked at the atmosphere became subtle.

"Mr Alston, I ..."

Edith mistakenly thought that Alston was misbehaving with himself, his heart was disgusted, and it was difficult for him to open his mouth.

Just as the indicator light changed colour, Alston opened Edith's seatbelt and re-buckled it, tugged to make sure it was fastened, and with a teasing glance at Edith, he sat back in the driver's seat and started the car.

The corners of his mouth quirked up slightly at the thought of the sudden look of embarrassment that appeared on Edith's face, and he couldn't hide his amusement.

Alston didn't believe Edith's words; he would rather believe that in Edith's heart, half a million was more important than himself.

See Alston just wants to help himself buckle the seat belt, Edith's cheeks are scarlet, feels that he misunderstands Alston some shame, looks like he coveted it for a long time, and opens his mouth to continue to look for complementary:

"Mr Alston, I dare not fall, Miss Lila, Miss Lila delicate, fall bad how to do."

"You just drop it."

Alston looked ahead with a serious expression.

Edith thought that Alston would say that he would take care of it if it was broken, his eyes were brighter and he looked at Alston with excitement, but Alston snapped over a pot of cold water.

"That half a million is enough to pay for it."

...…

"Damn!"

"Dog capitalist!"

"Scrooge!"

"Master digger!"

Edith hunkered down on the comfy leather backrest of the passenger seat, her head tilted over once more, pouting slightly as she mentally spat loudly at Alston.

Alston's afterglow caught sight of Edith's gamely little gesture and the smile on his face deepened, inexplicably making him feel in a good mood.

On Saturday, there was still traffic outside the university, full of college men and women going out on holiday.

A red Ferrari sports car parked in front of the gate, the men and women passing by all stealing envious gazes, and even some people clocked photos.

Lila, who was sitting in the passenger seat of the car, had a black face and looked to the side of the showy man who was dressed in a fancy dress and said in disgust,

"Can't you drive a low-key car here?"

The man opened his mobile phone camera, fiddled with a few locks of hair in front of his forehead, and said carelessly, "This is already the most low-key one."

Lila sniffed and glared at Tony impatiently,

"Did you remember what I told you?"

"Remember remember!"

"I've memorised all the information you gave me! "

" However, are you willing to give up all of Family C's future projects to me for the sake of a woman?"

Tony switched off his mobile phone and looked at Lila seriously.

Tony is Lila's cousin and the heir of T's Group, he is a few years younger than Lila, and not as experienced as Lila who has been in the mall for many years, and is about to take over T's Group, but is being challenged by some stubborn shareholders, and is in desperate need of some worthy projects to stand on his own feet after he officially takes over.

"Sure, I can write you a guarantee. "

Lila was about to say something else when she saw Edith heading towards the school entrance and immediately tapped Tony nervously,

"Coming, coming!"

Tony responded to the sound and looked, Edith a white jumper, dark jeans, backpack properly a school student, although her face was clear, a pair of eyes born of the spirit of clarity, but compared with the women he has experienced, is not counted as a stunning beauty.

"Just her? Why did you go to all that trouble?"

Tony questioned for a moment that Lila was teasing herself.

"Cut the crap, chasing or not?"

Lila's face was a little impatient.

Tony, this boy was a womaniser since he was a child, he has experienced not one hundred but eighty women, let him seduce Edith, Lila did not believe that Edith, an uninitiated student, would not be attracted to him!

Lila mentally secretly made a cruel, in her heart, Alston can only be her man!

"Chase after chase after chase, three days, guarantee that within three days I can make her lie honestly in my bed."

 Tony immediately lost his smile and said conceitedly.

People and money are both received, which is the reason not to want it.

Lila hooked her red lips in satisfaction at the words and got out of the car to leave.

Although it was Saturday, Edith temporarily took over a school competition project, came to the school to discuss it with the teacher, and after finishing it was already midday.

Edith went to the school canteen and asked for a noodle, she pinched the time, and after eating, she could take the bus to A's Group's manor, and ended the tutoring just in time to take the last bus home.

Edith was satisfied with her planning when Sharon appeared in front of Edith with a gang of punks.

"Louis hurt his back and it hasn't healed, come with me to Louis and apologise."

 Sharon ordered Edith, relying on the fact that there were people behind her.

Edith frowned slightly, feeling ridiculous at Sharon's appearance,

"What kind of stale shit is being rehashed to talk about?"

"It's not me, Sharon, what do you see in Louis?"

"For Louis to have such a bad back at such a young age, what's going to happen when he gets old?"

Edith was just kindly reminding, but the punks behind him smiled lewdly and scanned their eyes frivolously up and down Sharon's body.

"You!"

Sharon was annoyed, her face red with shame, she raised her hand to slap Edith, but before her palm could fall, it was held in one hand.

A man's voice suddenly sounded beside Sharon: "Dare to hit my girlfriend, did you ask me before?"
