Samuel Gray followed Kevin Clarkâs gaze and landed on the backpack beside himself, laughing, âSo simple. I thought we would be sealed here for a while. Since the belongings are important, itâs right for us to cooperate with the inspection.â
Daisy Zane showed no emotion, but there was a trace of cruelty in her eyes as she stared at the red liquid in the wine glass.
Kevin Clark glanced at Samuel Grayâs silly grin, and then looked at Daisy, asking, âShall we head back as itâs getting late?â
âYeah.â Daisy finished the last bit of wine in her glass, grabbed her bag, and stood up.
She didnât want to cause too much trouble, but if they took the thing from her bag, she wouldnât care anymore.
Samuel was a step slow and started to stand up as well, saying, âSister, let me hold it for you.â Kevin Clark looked at the backpack, asking, âYours?â
âYeah, â Daisy replied.
â Kevin thought the bag belonged to the man beside Daisy as he had never seen her with a bag before. He stretched out his hand to take it, âIâll carry it.â
Seeing him take the bag, Samuel subconsciously gripped the other side of the backpack, glaring at Kevin, âItâs my sisterâs, Iâll hold it.â
Kevin didnât look at him and directly asked Daisy, âYour younger brother?â
âNo,â she picked up the two unopened bottles of wine from the table, unzipped the backpack, put them in, and zipped it up again, âMy son.â
Kevin Clark:
Samuel immediately looked at Daisy and called out without any burden,
âDaddy.â
Daisy Zane: .
Kevin couldnât help but smile, then grabbed the backpack and held it in his hand, saying, âLetâs go.â
Samuel glanced at his empty hands, clenched his fingers but said nothing since Daisy didnât speak up.
The entire bar was under control, with only the police, the barâs bodyguards, and Kevinâs men present.
An intense inspection was being conducted at the entrance. Samuel counted the number of people and assessed the security.
He appeared nonchalant but was prepared to act at any moment. However, Kevin simply carried the backpack, greeted the people at the entrance, and led them out.
Samuel blinked, not quite understanding.
As they walked towards the parking lot, Daisy asked, âArenât you going to check
âLosing that thing is very dangerous. This level of strict investigation is for fear of someone misusing it or it falling into the hands of criminals.â As Kevin spoke, he took off his suit jacket and draped it over Daisyâs shoulders, âItâs getting cold, wear more when you go out.â
He didnât answer directly, but Daisy understood.
If the item was with her, his words just now served as a reminder that it was dangerous and should not be used.
As for the second reason, Kevin trusted her and wouldnât label her as a âcriminalâ. So even if the item was with her, he was at ease.
Apart from these factors, Daisy knew that Kevin probably still thought the chances of her being involved in the incident were slim.
After all⦠She had been quite harsh earlier.
Her image in his mind hadnât reached that extent yet.
As she smelled the scent of Eaglewood, Daisy smiled with her head down.
Daisy and Samuel had both drunk wine, so they couldnât drive.
Thus, she didnât mention driving herself and directly took Kevinâs car back to Everlasting Palace, planning to let Samuel drive the car back the next day.
At Everlasting Palace, the elevator stopped at the twenty-eighth floor. Daisy and Kevin bid farewell, and she prepared to go home with Samuel.
But Kevin suddenly called out to her. âLucia.â
Daisy turned to look at him, âWhatâs wrong?â
âLet him stay at my place.â
âWhat do you want to do?â Samuel immediately hid behind Daisy, âAlthough you look good, I, I donât do everything.â
Kevin didnât bother with him, instead telling Daisy, âItâs inconvenient for him to stay at your place.â
âWhatâs inconvenient?â Samuel Gray retorted.
Kevin Clark still ignored him, only speaking to Daisy Zane: âI have toiletries and a change of clothes at my place, all convenient.â
Daisy Zane thought about it and indeed, it was true.
When this kid was young, he dressed him in a skirt. Now, even if he wanted to wear a skirt, he wouldnât be able to fit into it.
Moreover, he would definitely be annoying and not let people sleep.
âSister, I donât want to.â Samuel Gray sensed Daisy Zaneâs wavering and immediately grabbed her arm and shook it.
Kevin Clarkâs eyes immediately fell on his hand, his expression as if he wanted to chop off Samuel Grayâs hand.
âLucia.â Kevin Clark called out to her.
Daisy Zane cleared her throat, grasped Samuel Grayâs wrist, and pulled his hand down, saying, âThat would be troublesome.â
âSister! You, you donât want me anymore. How can you hand me over to a stranger? What if he has ill intentions towards me? Iâm so beautiful, how can you be at ease? I⦠Ow!â
Daisy Zane gave him a kick in his leg: âBe quiet.â
âOh.â Samuel Gray immediately behaved himself.
âHis name is James Collins.â Daisy Zane introduced, âItâs a bother to you, Iâm going to sleep now.â
Samuel Gray had a code name, and Daisy Zane would usually call him by his real name in normal circumstances.
Kevin Clark smiled gently: âAlright, good night.â
âBehave yourself.â Daisy Zane patted James Collinsâs head, and then she mercilessly opened and closed the door, leaving him outside.
âGot it.â James Collins replied and looked at Kevin Clark, the corner of his mouth twitching.
This person was clearly smiling, but why was he so scary? Wasnât he gentle just now? Could it be his misunderstanding?
This person seemed a little dangerous. But with his thin arms, thin waist, and long legs, he should not be able to beat himself.
With that thought, James Collins felt at ease and followed Kevin Clark home.
After going to the bar and coming back, Daisy Zane already researched all those elixirs and stored them properly.
When she finally went to bed, it was already three oâclock in the morning.
And the next day at not even six in the morning, she was awakened by a phone call from Hill Dawson.
âSister Emily, whatâs wrong? Did something happen at the drama crew?â Other than something happening at the drama crew, Daisy Zane couldnât think of any other reason for her to call so early.
âNo, no.â Hill Dawsonâs voice sounded quite happy, âLucia, did you act in a movie a few months ago?â
Daisy Zane snuggled back into her quilt, her voice muffled, âMm.â
âThe movie had a premiere last night.â Hill Dawson said, âYouâre a sensation!
Hahahahaâ¦â
As soon as she laughed, Daisy Zane sobered up quite a bit. In that movie, she only appeared in one scene, but she also roughly looked at the script.
It was a suspenseful theme.
It left a lingering suspense in the end.
And she was that final suspense, only one scene, where she smiled at the lens.
A pretty ordinary smile, but it left infinite room for imagination.
âLucia, you just had that one scene, but it was so amazing.â Hill Dawson said, âThe movie itself is popular, well-produced, and has a great script. Your appearance at the end was like a mini-climax. Now everyone online is praising you, asking who this stunning lady is. Youâre currently 18th on the Hot
Searches.â
Daisy Zane responded casually.
Hill Dawson: âThis is a great opportunity. We must take advantage of the hype for marketing. Lucia, do you have a Facebook?â
âNo.â Daisy Zane replied, âHelp me register one, and you can manage it for me afterward.
âAlright, you just wait, Iâll definitely make the most of this trend.â
âMm..â
