Chapter 31 The First Step of Lloyd Courting a Girl
[It's over, Ebony has gone crazy completely.]
[Haha, I'm the one who went crazy. Lloyd is a national idol, he is popular all over the world. He is at an unreachable height, how would he envy you?]
[Am I the only one who is curious, did Ebony befriend the anti-fans? I'm dying of laughter.]
[Ah, I don't care anymore about what kind of scandal or bad reputation, I announced that I had become a fan of this damn woman!]
When everyone was ready to leave, the live broadcast was finally cut off.
The program team sent everyone to the airport. It was a thirteen-hour flight, Ebony slept like a log on the plane.
When the plane arrived, the others were still lazy and she had already refreshed.
At this time, it was already two o'clock at the midnight.
The airport was quiet, but all the cars that came to pick up had already arrived. Ebony had no one to pick her up. She saw that everyone else had left when she took her luggage out.
She wore a mask and went to the entrance to wait for a taxi.
Ebony was stunned for a moment, staring at the BMW.
At this moment, the car door of the rear seat slid down. The man with a cold face appeared in her sight, "Get in the car."
Ebony looked at Lloyd in the car and waved her hand politely, "No need, I'll book a car."
Lloyd frowned slightly, "I have something to look for you."
"You have something to do with me?" Ebony wondered what kind of private affairs could the two of them have?
Lloyd said in a deep voice, "Get in the car."
Ebony finally got into Lloyd's car, but she did not expect that the so-called "something" was actually this matter.
Looking at the square gift box packaged delicately in her hand, she opened the lid and stared at the pyramid-shaped clock inside, and she was stunned.
"This clock..."
Before Ebony finished her question, Mathew in the driver's seat said as if taking credit, "Miss Gibson, Mr. Vasquez saw that you liked it on that day. He immediately sent a message to me to buy it. Look, do you still like it?"
Lloyd glanced at Mathew and scolded him softly, "You talk a lot."
Mathew stuck out his tongue and shut up.
Ebony held the clock and turned her head to look at Lloyd beside her.
Lloyd's dark-colored eyes were particularly deep in this dim carriage. He leaned against the back of the leather seat with a relaxed posture and looked calmly at Ebony, he seemed to wait for her to say something.
Ebony said, "I'll pay you back."
"..."
After speaking, she started to find her phone.
The man frowned and said, "No need."
"I must." Ebony turned on her phone and flipped to the payment software, "Three hundred dollars, right? I'll check my balance..." Ebony's body suddenly froze when she saw that she had only five hundred dollars left on her card.
After a long while, she raised her head and asked cautiously, "Mr. Vasquez, do you accept installment payments?"
The salutation changed formally.
Lloyd looked at her silently with a hint of displeasure on his face, "No need."
"How could it be? I must return your money, I'm not the kind of person who takes advantage of the others, so let me divide it into three installments. No, it will be divided into six installments. No, I will pay you back in twelve installments, I will pay you the first installment first. Turn on your phone and I will transfer you one hundred and fifty-nine dollars."
"..."
Ebony insisted on paying, Lloyd looked at her for a while thoughtfully, then suddenly took out his phone.
Ebony said, "I'll scan you."
Lloyd lowered his eyes and opened the QR code to add her as a friend.
Ebony hurriedly said, "Wrong, this is not the QR code for the transfer, it's the one over there."
Lloyd said lightly, "It's more convenient to transfer money after being added as a friend."
Ebony thought that it was reasonable. There were still one thousand and seven hundred left, she need to transfer the money again.
In fact, Ebony said that she will return the money in twelve installments, but she did not mean to pay it back to Lloyd in one year. It's mainly because she could now only get the money for the first installment, she planned to wait until the end of the month to receive the paid, and then the rest of the money will be returned to him all at once.
Since she still had to transfer money, she did not think much about it and added Lloyd as a friend directly.
After transferring one hundred and fifty-nine dollars, Lloyd accepted her friend request. He raised his head and looked at Ebony who was about to cry.
He frowned, "...what's the matter?"
Ebony shed her tears as she looked at the remaining three hundred dollars in her account.
She was too poor, Dolores gave her three thousand dollars and she could not help spending it.
An hour later, Mathew drove the car to the gate of Ebony's neighborhood.
Mathew could not help but speak again, "Oh, Miss Gibson, you also live here. It's a coincidence that Mr. Vasquez also has a house in this neighborhood." Of course, Mr. Vasquez's house was in Area A, not the same as Area C where Ebony lived, which was more complicated. He did not say anything about Area C which was considered low-end. Anyway, it was the same neighborhood and they can be considered a neighbor.
Ebony Gibson did not expect this. She looked at Lloyd and said, "You also stay here?"
Mathew said, "No, no, Mr. Vasquez has a house here and but he does not stay here."
Ebony said, "Oh."
However, Lloyd spoke out at this moment, "I will stay here occasionally."
The assistant was stunned for a moment. He had been Mr. Vasquez's assistant for almost three years but he had not seen him come here for once. He only knew Mr. Vasquez had a house here because he had lent the house to Ivan's relatives for a few days once.
Mathew did not speak anymore. He took out Ebony's luggage from the boot.
Ebony held the gift box in one hand and her luggage in the other. After saying goodbye, she walked towards the gate of the entrance.
It was until she walked inside that she heard the sound of an engine behind her. She turned her head and saw that a black BMW left.
"He's quite a gentleman," Ebony muttered and did not say anything else.
The black BMW had already driven far away. After replying to a WhatsApp message, Lloyd exited the interface and saw the chat box of Ebony that he had just added.
He stared at the profile picture in front of the chat box. The profile picture of Ebony was a picture of an owl wall clock. He was silent for a moment and suddenly asked Mathew in front, "Does Ebony like clocks or pyramids?"
Mathew was taken aback and said confusedly, "It should be... pyramids, right?" I have never seen any young girl who would particularly like clocks after all? Some like expensive watches, but no one like clocks.
Lloyd frowned and thought for a moment. After a while, he saved the photo of the owl wall clock and sent it to Mathew, "Go check it and see whether you can buy it."
Mathew glanced at the photo and nodded, "Alright, I'll look for it when I go back." Mathew did not felt anything wrong with the behavior of his boss who deliberately bought something that Miss Gibson liked.
Previously, Mr. Vasquez drank alcohol by mistake. He almost died in the elevator and Miss Gibson saved him. It was hard to repay her saving grace, does it matter to give her a small gift? Does it matter to be very nice to Miss Gibson in the live variety show? After getting off the plane, does it matter to wait specially to send her home?
Isn't this the right attitude one should have towards his savior?
