Chapter 50
Thirty seconds later, Diana Swift put on high heels and hurried out the door, barely keeping the little delicacy left after removing her makeup.
She pressed the four elevators on the left and right, and then stood and waited there, silently missing her own top-floor elevator of Cedar Department.
Thirty seconds later, the elevator did not arrive.
One minute, not yet.
How slow! Awful real estate!
One minute and eighteen seconds later, the elevator finally opened.
Diana Swift was sucked in like a gust of wind, and by the way, she pushed out Bonnie Smith, who was still playing with his mobile phone.
Bonnie Smith was stunned when he was kicked out of the elevator. Was that Diana Swift just now? Damn, I didn't bring a door card. Were you going to the grave by running so fast? My sister!
In fact, Diana Swift's mood was no different from going to the grave.
She was uneasy all the way, and a little bit inexplicably cautious. The key was that she didn't know when Josh Hunter came, and what was he chatting with Toby Hunter downstairs. The most important thing was that Toby Hunter sent her back just now. When he hugged her, shouldn't they be seen by Josh Hunter?
Diana Swift beat the small drum in her heart, and after a while, she felt that something was wrong.
This dog man was so righteous when he invested in a movie for Mandy Lee, what happened to her meeting with Toby Hunter? What's wrong with a hug between old friends?
Josh Hunter completed all the things that he shouldn't do, and Diana Swift just did something of it, so why should she feel guilty!
That's right.
Thinking of this, Diana Swift's waist straightened unconsciously.
She also reflected that this may be the sequelae caused by the strong sense of morality. Not good, very bad, too self-destructive but good for Josh.
People in this building of Star Park came and went very frequently. Although she took the elevator, it almost stopped on every floor when going downstairs. People came and went from time to time. It took five minutes to go down from the thirty-third floor to the first floor.
It was snowing outside, the temperature was low, and the wind was cold.
Diana Swift wrapped her small windbreaker tightly, walked to the intersection and crossed the road, and hurried to Josh with the flow of people, only to realize later that Toby Hunter and his white Mercedes had disappeared, leaving Josh Hunter put his hands in the pockets of his coat, leaning his back on the door of the Land Rover, with a pale gaze, just like a judge.
The hell was empty, but Josh Hunter was on the way.
Diana Swift asked subconsciously, "Where's Toby Hunter? He is gone?"
"Yes."
Josh Hunter answered briefly, and his voice seemed to be wrapped in snow, clear and cold.
Diana Swift's heart trembled, stiffened for a moment, and then hesitantly asked, "Then you, what were you talking about just now?"
"What did you think?"
Josh Hunter looked down at her.
Diana Swift opened her mouth, but didn't say anything.
After a long while, she asked another way: "When did you come?"
Josh Hunter: "It's half past six."
...?
She just went out at half past six, so from when she went out to when Toby Hunter sent her back, did he see it all?
Diana Swift subconsciously wanted to explain, but when she spoke, she remembered the series of mental activities when she got off the elevator... What should she explain? What needed to be explained? Why should she explain to this dog man Josh Hunter!
In just three or four seconds, Diana Swift's attitude changed suddenly, she straightened her waist, and stretched out a finger to poke Josh Hunter's chest, plausibly said: "Please note that you and I are in a relationship pending divorce! You dared to invest in a movie for Mandy Lee, what's wrong with Toby Hunter and I having a meal and hug! I haven't judged you yet, so don't try to judge me here!"
Josh Hunter's eyes were quiet, and he didn't speak. He only suddenly held the finger she poked on the chest, then took her hand, and put it into his coat pocket very naturally.
? ? ?
Diana Swift was stunned.
"A few days ago, I was discussing a merger and acquisition, and I was working continuously for 72 hours without sleeping. I came back this morning and rested for a few hours. I wanted to pick you up for dinner at night and watch a movie by the way. You have already eaten, but I haven't eaten anything since the morning."
His eyes were still calm, and his voice did not fluctuate, as if he was giving a report at a meeting, but Diana Swift could inexplicably hear a sense of grievance from the schedule report.
And the point was, he came to pick her up for dinner and a movie at half past six. The aura she just held back vanished in an instant, and there was even a feeling of special regret and guilt.
After a long silence, she lowered her eyelashes and whispered, "Actually, I didn't have enough of that French meal."
After pondering for a moment, Josh Hunter said, "Then go to dinner."
He helped Diana Swift clean up the snowflakes that fell on the windbreaker, and led her to the co-pilot.
The door opened, and Diana Swift sat in dully. Just as she was about to stretch out her hand to pull the seat belt, Josh Hunter leaned forward one step ahead of her and buckled it.
In the few seconds when the seat belt was buckled, they were very close. Diana Swift could smell the light fir smell on his body, and she could also see that six snowflakes were quietly melting on his short hair.
For some reason, Diana Swift suddenly wanted to kiss him.
Since he'd been standing outside for so long, his lips must be cold now, like jelly out of a freezer.
Just at this moment, Josh Hunter also turned to look at her.
The moment they met their eyes, Diana Swift leaned back in the chair with a reserved expression, but every cell in her body was screaming: woo woo woo kiss me, kiss me, kiss me! Kiss me and I won't let you kneel down to admit your mistake! ! !
Unfortunately, after looking at each other for three seconds, Josh Hunter straightened his body in confusion and opened the car door from the other side, as if the move of putting her hands in his pockets was done by nearby a ghost who couldn't bare.
"..."
Oh, it seemed that he still prefers to kneel down to admit his mistakes.
Diana Swift was saying bad words in heart when she suddenly received a call from Bonnie Smith.
She answered "hello" and said solemnly, "I'm a little hungry. I'll go out to eat something and come back. What's the matter? Did you work overtime without eating? Would you want me to bring some for you?"
"No, it's okay. I just... made a wrong call. Yes, a wrong call."
Bonnie Smith hung up the phone quickly. Looking at the shadow of the Land Rover speeding away on the opposite side, she stood on the side of the road for a long time without returning to her senses.
The cold wind was blowing, and the little girl who sold flowers called her "sister" before she woke up from her wandering thoughts.
She quickly bought a bunch of flowers and called Betty Miller, "Where were you?"
Betty Miller was eating and answered vaguely, "Haley Williams and I are eating hot pot at Biqiao."
Bonnie Smith: "Then will you go back to the apartment tonight?"
Betty Miller blushed, swallowed the fat beef roll, drank another coke, covered her phone and whispered: "What nonsense areyou talking about? The relationship between Haley Williams and I is very pure! Of course, I will go home! And my dad will call and check every day at zero o'clock!"
Bonnie Smith didn't care about her sexual life, "Then you take me in for one night You eat first, I'll wait for you at the cafe downstairs of your house. Diana Swift left with her husband and took my key card away!"
Betty Miller: "Then won't you let her bring it to you?"
Bonnie Smith: "Is your brain blocked by the hot pot ingredients? I would disturb such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity free from trouble? Even if I freeze to death under the overpass tonight, I will never call Diana Swift!"
Betty Miller: "..."
Absolutely.

In the Christmas Eve, the festive atmosphere in the city center was very strong. Christmas songs were being played everywhere and there were Christmas trees of all sizes on the roadside in the square. A thin layer of snow had accumulated on the ground, and it seemed to continue to fall for a long time.
Although it was a festival, the restaurants that were open near zero were basically Japanese food restaurants and hot pot restaurants. Since Josh Hunter didn't like Japanese food, so the only choice for them was hot pot.
The service of this hot pot restaurant was very good, and the waiters were still very energetic in the middle of the night. While saying "Merry Christmas" to them, she handed them towels and Christmas hats.
Diana Swift has a bird-stomach. She had a big meal in the evening and couldn't eat anything at this time. She ordered a few vegetables casually, and then handed the tablet to Josh Hunter.
Josh Hunter didn't order too much. After placing the order, he handed the tablet to the waiter. He glanced at Diana Swift's bare calf at the bottom of the table. "Are you cold?"
Diana Swift: "It's okay."
If I couldn't stand this cold temperature, how could I be a beautiful fairy?
In fact, a sweater skirt and a windbreaker were her daily winter outfits. What matters was that she was in a hurry to go out. She didn't have time to change her boots. She ran out after wearing a pair of high heels. Her feet were a little cold at the moment.
Hearing this, Josh Hunter was about to take off his coat, but the waiter suddenly appeared at the table secretly, holding a blanket in her hand, with a smile on her face, "Miss, keep warm in winter. The blanket is for you."
"Oh, thanks."
It was also the first time for Diana Swift to come here. She was a little surprised by the thoughtful service and took it with a smile.
Josh Hunter looked up at the waiter.
The waiter was clueless and asked impeccably, "Sir, do you need one?"
"No."
Josh Hunter felt that maybe she hadn't eaten hot pot for too long, and she didn't even know that the service was already so considerate in the semi-self-service catering of hot pot.
Diana Swift was a troublesome woman when she went out. When she had hot pot, she didn't make her own seasonings, pour the water herself, and peel the shelled food.
But even with such a troublesome woman, Josh Hunter couldn't do anything for her during the whole process. The almighty waiters did it all right away.
When leaving, Diana Swift praised the good service attitude of this restaurant, not worse than those Japanese food restaurants and French restaurants with thousands of yuan per capita.
Josh Hunter didn't speak, just rubbed the receipt and mercilessly threw it into the trash.
The waiter stood at the door to see off the customer. She was a little confused about the reason why this male customer was dissatisfied. The whole service was so attentive. When he left, there was even an expression of "I would never come to your restaurant for the second time" on his face. The catering industry was so hard.
It was very late after they finished their hot pot. The west gate of the shopping mall, which was still open, was closed now, and only one elevator from the cinema was still in operation.
Walking all the way to the cinema, Josh Hunter suddenly asked, "Do you want to watch a movie?"
"Movie? OK"
Diana Swift had pink bubbles in her heart, but she pretended to answer embarrassedly.
The only movie still on sale so late was a romance film that premiered today, with three shows from 0:00 to 6:00 in the morning.
There were a lot of people watching the zero-point movie, but there was no one at the two-point movie that they were watching.
The light in the movie hall was dim, and the rhythm of the romance film was slow. Seeing no one else, Diana Swift subconsciously recited the content of the movie while watching.
When she saw that the male protagonist misunderstood the female protagonist cheating with the male No. 2, she couldn't help complaining: "It's too awful. Are the investors now panicking with money? Why did they invest in any movie? There must be something wrong with the male protagonist. The heroine so obviously likes him, but he still misunderstands her. He is a fool, so stupid."
Josh Hunter didn't speak, but echoed in his heart: he was really stupid.
Toby Hunter talked to him a lot tonight, but he didn't listen to it and didn't pay much attention to it. However, there was one sentence that he heard clearly and remembered very clearly, "Diana likes you now, but it doesn't mean that she will like you forever."
Now, she likes you.
The eyes he looked at the curtain were inexplicably soft, and the corners of his lips also lifted up, slightly lifted.
Diana Swift was infuriated by the plot, but when she turned her head, she saw Josh Hunter laughing, and her mind was full of question marks.
Was he a pervert? The heroine was so miserable, but he could still laugh, Was there any humanity?
