Chapter 313 Lloyd Was Not Coming Back Tonight, Was He?


In the end, Dolores didn't want to say anything.


She dragged Ebony and left.


On the drive back, Dolores was complaining all the way.


Ebony did not dare to confront her. And she had to hand Dolores a bottle of water when Dolores was tired of scolding her, saying in a flattering way, "Dolores, thank you for your hard work! Please have some water."


Dolores snatched the bottle of water from her and yelled, "It's not my work hard. My life is hard! Did I own you in my last life!"


Ebony ducked and didn't dare to make a sound.


Dolores gulped two bottles of water in a row to suppress her overwhelmed anger. Then, she took a look at the time and said, "Where do you live? Give your address to the driver. We'll drive you home directly."


Ebony was shocked and freaked out. She answered in a hurry, "No need... I drove my car today. My car is still at our company. You can just drive me to the office directly!"


Dolores looked at her with squinted eyes.


Ebony let out a serious awkward laugh in an attempt to get away.


Ebony nodded obediently, "Okay."


Dolores warned, "Don't talk nonsense. Just say something polite and cheerful like you will continue to work hard. Don't write a word more."


Ebony nodded again like a chicken pecking at rice, "Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know!"


Dolores waved her hand and said, "Go ahead."


Ebony immediately got off the car.


As soon as Ebony got off the car, Dolores thought of something else. She rolled down the window and was about to say another few words to Ebony.


Then, she saw Ebony, in the front, holding her hem, had already rushed far away.


Dolores, "..."


She thought to herself, 'Do I look like a cannibal?'


Ebony went to the parking lot and got her car. Then, she drove all the way back home.


As soon as Ebony entered the house, she started looking around for Llyod.


The maid came out of the kitchen and asked, "Miss Gibson, what are you looking for?"


Ebony stood with her hands on her hips, asking, "Where's Lloyd!"


The aunt was stunned, "Young master? Young Master hasn't come back yet."


Not back yet?


Ebony frowned as she looked at the clock on the wall. It was after one o'clock.


Today, the award ceremony ended at eleven o'clock. She was delayed for a long time after that. And then she went back to the company to pick up her car.


She thought she came back late enough. But she didn't expect that Lloyd was still not back.


The maid said, "But the young master's assistant just sent something back. Over there. It's in the living room."


Ebony looked into the living room and saw a red box on the coffee table. She went over and opened the box. A clean crystal trophy was lying inside.


Ebony frowned.


The trophy had been sent back. But Lloyd hadn't come back yet?


Thinking of Dolores' request, Ebony suppressed her anger for the moment. She picked up the trophy, took a picture of it, and tweeted it.


After Ebony updated the post on Twitter, she wanted to call Lloyd.


However, the maid smiled at her and asked, "Miss Gibson, are you hungry?"


Ebony was stunned. She immediately forgot about Lloyd and said, "Yes, I'm hungry! The award ceremony doesn't include a box meal!"


The maid smiled and said, "I know you won the award. I especially made dessert for you. Have some before you sleep?"


Ebony hurriedly said, "Sure, sure, sure, sure!"


Soon after, the maid brought out a whole plate of snacks.


Ebony immediately started to gorge herself on snacks!


An hour later, Ebony finally had enough. The maid was sleepy and went to bed.


Then, Ebony was alone and free. She looked at the clock again.


It was almost three o'clock!


Lloyd was not coming back tonight, was he?


Time passed by.


In a flash, it was 4:00 am.


Sitting in the back seat of a silver sports car running down the road, Lloyd raised his hand to press his brow.


He looked tired. He leaned back on the black leather seat and occasionally pressed his temples.


Mathew was driving in the front.


Ivan sat in the copilot seat.


Ivan then said, "Why does Director Nicolas have to be so chatty? Even if he wants to talk about the script, can't he do that during the daytime? Why does he have to hold Lloyd till now?"


In the back seat, Lloyd was sleeping, not making a sound.


Ivan glanced at Lloyd through the rearview mirror. He knew Lloyd wasn't asleep. So, he asked, "So you've decided to shoot this?"


The man in the back seat opened his eyes slightly. There was a trace of laziness in his inky pupils. "The script is good."


Ivan said, "No matter how good the script is, it will be directed by Director Nicolas. Honestly, I think it's too risky. Everyone in this circle knows that Director Nicolas is a crazy workaholic in filmmaking. Usually, he looks very nice and very easy to get along with, like an old man next door. But when it comes to filmmaking, he will stick to the end to achieve the best. He would actually demand an actor to reshoot countless times for one shot during a year or two. Did you forget that famous movie 'Everything About My Father'? It is a classic movie. But at the time, it took seven years to finish that film! But the best time for that actor was all wasted because of that film!"


Lloyd remained silent.


Ivan persuaded again, "Director Nicolas is a titanic figure in the film business. Of course, it's a good opportunity to work on his film. But you can't be sure when he'll go crazy. I still don't think it's necessary. If we sign the contract, we won't be able to leave. Why don't you think about it?"


Lloyd still didn't make a sound.


Ivan knew Lloyd. Lloyd had been quiet. And he had stayed up all night talking to Director Nicolas for four hours about this play.


It was obvious that he really liked this script.


Ivan was very worried. However, with a twinkle in his eye, he said, "If you join the crew and have to shoot for seven years for that play, will you have any chance of getting married in your life?"


Lloyd was stunned.


Mathew, in the copilot seat, chuckled and said, "Ivan, Mr. Vasquez doesn't even have a girlfriend yet."


There was no time than now that Ivan sincerely wished Lloyd to have a girlfriend to hold him from doing anything stupid. Ivan said, "Look at you. You are wasting your handsome look! You don't even have a girlfriend."


"I have a girlfriend."


In the back seat, Lloyd's indifferent voice suddenly sounded.


The carriage was abruptly silent.


Ten minutes later, the car drove back to the community of the Vasquez family's villa.


Ivan sat in the co-pilot's seat. He still couldn't accept this sudden official announcement from Lloyd.


'Lloyd has found a girlfriend...'


'His girlfriend is Ebony...'


'D*mn! Why does he have to date that bloody Ebony?'


Ivan felt a little light-headed. He was in a daze.


All he could think about was the devilish name "Ebony" right now. So, Ivan felt that he was hallucinating.


He pointed to a blurred figure in pajamas with long hair under the streetlight and said, "Why does that person look like Ebony so much?"


Lloyd froze. He frowned and looked out.


Mathew also looked over. Then he said excitedly, "Not like. It's Miss Gibson! Gosh. Mr. Vasquez, is Miss Gibson waiting for you to come home? I really didn't expect Miss Gibson to be so gentle and virtuous after falling in love. She really loves you so much, Mr. Vasquez!"


Lloyd's eyesight was better than Ivan's and Mathew's. He stared at Ebony's figure in front of him for a while.


Then, he said in a deep voice, "Turn around and drive the car back. She's holding a kitchen knife in her hand."
