Chapter 143 Harley, This's Ebony
Ebony felt that she had been wronged.
She couldn't be angrier.
After getting out of the elevator, she went out first without saying anything to Elvin and Lloyd.
Elvin finally realized that Lloyd's bad mood really had nothing to do with her.
So he asked Lloyd, "It's really not due to her?"
Lloyd, "..."
Lloyd didn't know how to reply, because he himself actually had no idea if it was due to her or not.
He only heaved a sigh and shook his head.
His response made Elvin a little embarrassed.
Elvin asked suspiciously, "Then what happened to you?"
Elvin didn't ask any further questions. He knew domestic affairs were Lloyd's privacy.
Elvin looked at Ebony who was walking fast in front of him. After a short hesitation, he asked her, "I'll buy you breakfast later. What would you like to eat?"
As soon as Ebony heard his words, she turned and walked back.
She reached out to Elvin, "Give me the money. I'll buy it by myself."
Elvin, "..."
Elvin fell silent, took out his wallet, and asked, "How much do you need?"
Ebony said, "Forty dollars."
Elvin was taken aback and looked at her, "Why is breakfast so expensive?"
Ebony changed her words, "Thirty dollars."
Elvin reluctantly gave thirty dollars to her.
Ebony took the money. Five minutes later, she got to the cafeteria of the TV station with Lloyd and Elvin.
Looking at the cheat hamburger and a cup of milk on the table, Elvin fell silent.
But Ebony smiled as she looked at the thirty dollars Elvin gave her just now.
After breakfast, Ebony took Elvin and Lloyd to visit the training room.
She arranged two seats for them to watch her teach dancing.
In fact, Elvin just came here for fun, and he didn't think Ebony could really teach anything.
But what he didn't expect was that Ebony taught well .
She seemed very professional while demonstrating and correcting wrong movements of the learners.
She danced pretty well.
Elvin quipped, "This little monkey turns out to be..."
"Be quiet!"
Before Elvin finished his words, Ebony, who had already been in a working state, suddenly shouted.
Realizing that Ebony asked him to be quiet, Elvin had to shut his mouth instantly.
At this moment, Lloyd's cell phone rang.
Lloyd got up and went outside to answer the phone.
It was Ivan who called him to talk about some business.
After hanging up the phone, Lloyd turned to go in the training room, but the door was opened at the moment he set to push the door.
Ebony came out from inside.
Ebony was going to the bathroom. Seeing Lloyd standing at the door, she waved to him.
Lloyd put down the phone and suddenly said, "I'm going to take off."
Ebony was stunned, and then turned to look at him, asking, "Aren't you going to have lunch together?"
Lloyd said lightly, "My agent is coming. We have something to talk about."
Ebony felt a little regretful, because she wanted to have lunch bought by him. She muttered, "Then can you come back before lunch?"
Lloyd could see her purpose at a glance.
He asked with a sigh, "What do you want to eat?"
As soon as hearing his inquiry, Ebony's eyes lit up immediately. She replied without any hesitation, "Hot pot, hot pot! I haven't eaten hot pot for a long time!"
Lloyd gave a doting laugh, "I'll pick you up at noon!"
Ebony was overjoyed.
She patted Lloyd's shoulder heavily and said loudly, "Don't worry. I won't eat without pay. I'll give you a gift!"
Lloyd smiled and looked at her. His bad mood having lasted all morning faded out.
He asked softly, "What gift?"
Ebony said, "I'll give Elvin to you!"
Lloyd, "..."
Lloyd walked into the elevator expressionlessly, without looking at Ebony again.
Ebony ran to the bathroom.
When she came out of the bathroom, she saw Stella standing in the corridor on the phone.
Remembering that Stella rushed over to help her when she was in trouble yesterday, Ebony stood beside Stella, planning to say thank you to her when she finished answering the phone.
Stella didn't notice Ebony.
She looked at the ground and said anxiously, "How is grandma now? Is she okay?"
The person on the other side of the phone seemed to say something.
Stella bit her lips and asked worriedly, "She went to the hospital to recuperate? Didn't the doctor say my grandma could go home to recuperate and didn't have to be in hospital?"
The person on the other side of the phone replied something to her.
Being silent for a while, Stella asked, "Mum, do you think I should go back? The competition...I can retire from the competition..."
Ebony frowned deeply upon hearing this.
After a while, Stella finally hung up the phone.
She didn't notice that Ebony was standing beside her because she had lost in deep thought.
Ebony stepped forward and touched her hair to express concern.
Stella was stunned for a moment and greeted in a trance after seeing Ebony, "Miss Gibson."
Ebony asked softly, "Is the elder in the family sick?"
Stella gave Ebony a deep look, and then nodded, "It's my grandma. She is in poor health. She was just discharged from the hospital, but she felt not comfortable yesterday. After emergency treatment, she has to be in hospital again."
Ebony pondered for a moment with her forehead knotted in a frown, asking, "What kind of disease is it?"
Stella couldn't explain it clearly, so she thought for a while and took out her phone.
She found a photo and said, "This is a checkup report of my grandmother. It was sent by my aunt before."
Ebony took the phone and saw the name of Chasidah Kelly at the top of the report.
Chasidah was really an elegant and noble name.
Ebony enlarged the picture and looked at it carefully.
After a while, she frowned and asked, "Has your grandma been treated by Western medicine all the time?"
Stella was taken aback by her question, and then nodded, "Yes."
"Has she been treated by traditional Chinese medicine?"
Stella shook her head, "I don't know. But my grandfather actually trusts Western medicine more."
Looking at the symptoms of the disease in the picture for a while, Ebony said, "I haven't seen your grandmother, so it's hard to make any judgment. But I think the combination of traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine is supposed to be given a try. They have their own advantages. Learning from each other's strengths and complementing their weaknesses is the best way."
"Then...I'll talk to my dad and let him find a doctor of traditional Chinese medicine."
Ebony pondered for a while and said, "President Stan of the Huaton Association of Traditional Chinese Medicine is a well-known expert."
Stella nodded, "Okay, I'll tell my dad."
Seeing that Stella was still as obedient as ever, Ebony sighed and advised, "If the condition of your grandma is really serious, you can retire from the competition. Your family is much more important than the competition."
Stella's eyes were teemed with tears.
She looked at Ebony's face seriously, and then nodded heavily, "Yes! Family is more important than anything!"
Ebony smiled, "It's not easy to have a good appointment with President Stan. If you have any questions, tell me at any time."
Ebony talked to Stella for a while before leaving.
An hour later, Stella carefully knocked on the door of the training room.
Ebony was teaching, and was about to get angry. When she saw Stella coming, she made a gesture to a dancing master, asking her to keep an eye on the learners, and she walked outside.
As soon as she went out, she saw that there was a man standing beside Stella in the corridor.
He was Darryl Gibson, Stella's father.
It was Darryl who went to help Ebony when she got in trouble last night.
Remembering that, Ebony quickly bowed to Darryl.
Darryl was stunned for a moment, but he didn't have enough time to care about it. He anxiously asked, "Miss Gibson, I heard Stella say you recommended President Stan of the Huaton Association of Traditional Chinese Medicine to her?"
Ebony said, "Yes."
Darryl pursed his lips, "As far as I know, Dr. Stan has already announced to retire."
Ebony smiled, "It seems that you have known about traditional Chinese medicine. Yes, Dr. Stan has retired, but that's just because he likes quietness. He still sees patients. If necessary, I can help you get in touch with him."
Darryl's eyes lit up. He said instantly, "Thank you very much. I really need you help!"
Ebony smiled and said, "It's my pleasure."
Then she took out her mobile phone, found a number that she hadn't dialed for a long, long time, and then dialed it.
After a while, Harley Stan answered the phone.
Ebony greeted, "Harley, this is Ebony."
