chapter 38 – The Big Man
The first time she faced such a person other than Kemp Ross, she was still a little afraid, but thinking of Kemp Ross, that fear seems to be less, at the end, she forced herself to pluck up courage, raised her hand and knocked on the door.
The door was quickly opened, but the person who opened it was a bartender.
“Hello, may I ask who you are looking for?”
“I’m looking for Lu Less, could you please take this to him for a moment.” Phoebe Barnes stood in the doorway and handed him the pre-prepared note.
“Yes, please wait a moment.”
Every minute the door was opened again and the bartender smiled and said, “Lu less please come in.”
Phoebe Barnes is slightly stunned, he’s seeing her now?
She just wrote her own name on the paper.
If it was true that he helped Emily Bryrant, then he would have been impressed with her name, and she was just gambling.
The hand in the pocket of her trench coat tightened slightly as she raised her step and walked in.
The entire chess room is much larger than she thought, the decoration is luxurious to the extreme, the central card table in the hall around a few people, other places are also a few people sitting, together there are about twenty or so, men and women, the smell of tobacco and alcohol mixed with the house is very heavy.
I don’t know who was sharp-eyed enough to see her and suddenly said, “Who’s that?”
It’s just that she was wrapped too tightly and mysteriously and was mistaken for some big shot.
Subsequently, most of the entire box looked towards her, gazing curiously and nakedly.
Phoebe Barnes was startled and subconsciously stepped back.
“Come here.”
A lazy tone of voice pulled Phoebe Barnes back into her thoughts.
She fixed her mind and looked towards the source of the sound, a man sitting on the card table, twenty-six or seven years old, handsome to the extreme face Rong with an evil aura, half a cigarette in his lips, a dude’s posture.
The body is wearing a white shirt, looking loose, even the buttons are not buttoned, but still can see the fine and sophisticated.
The eyes under the short black hair are staring at the cards in their hands, looking a little lazy and slack sense, but mixed into the surrounding world of pandemonium but no taste of indulgence and depravity, like a sober game of earth.
He is John Lu?
Phoebe Barnes eyes moved, the heart can not help but be a little scared, a look is a bad deal with people.
“Lu Shao, which beauty have you invited here again?” The broad at the same table raised his eyes to look at Phoebe Barnes and flirted with a smile.
The man sitting across from John Lu, with his back to Phoebe Barnes, did not turn around and said, “Lu has more confidantes than he can count, so what’s so strange about that?
Hearing these words, Phoebe Barnes body a slight shock, the voice … so familiar.
As he was about to ponder, John Lu finally lifted his handsome face from his cards, exhaled a smoke ring, his eyes fell on her face, and smiled languidly, “This is not what I invited, make sure you all don’t know each other.”
This was in answer to the question just asked, before he actually turned to Phoebe Barnes and said, “Are you going to just dumb it down? Come here.”
Phoebe Barnes wrinkled her brow and stood still, but looked at John Lu and said, “Lu, can I have a word with you alone? It won’t take long.”
The particular soft voice came out, the man sitting with his back to her at the poker table raised his eyebrows abruptly, and an amused smile slowly crossed his thick black eyes.
John Lu laughed lightly, his tone was frivolous and loose, “There are no outsiders here, besides, I have invested hundreds of thousands of dollars in this poker game before I finish playing with you, how do you plan to compensate me and my brothers?”
Phoebe Barnes stiffened, was he trying to make things difficult for her?
“Lu less,”
“This young man does not like to speak to a pair of eyes, although they are quite beautiful.” He had a smile on his lips, still with an immodest look.
Phoebe Barnes looked at him, inexplicably reminded of Kemp Ross that good brother Wind Rong, Wind Rong although it seems to always be unorthodox, but the bones give a dark coldness, and this Lu less completely is the dude’s style, from the inside to the outside of the evil reckless.
The common denominator: keeping people guessing.
Helpless, Phoebe Barnes take off the mask hat, long hair fall, the whole small face exposed, face serious look at John Lu, “Lu less, I know you understand I came to you purpose.”
John Lu stroked his chin and swept her head to toe with an aggressive gaze like a laser, then gave a very fair comment, “Beautiful, looks like the people down at the company have a problem with their eyes.”
White shirt, black nine-point wide-legged pants, covered with a wide black trench coat, although the height looks nearly one meter seven, but still looks white thin and slender, plain face with a unique pure temperament, like a charming little flower, especially in this ominous place, set off a few fairy.
So much so that the other young men present looked straight at them, “Lu Shao, this little girl is good, your company’s new artist?”
Can be Lu less praise, a few women present some taste, sourly said: “How I look a little familiar?”
Phoebe Barnes forced herself to ignore the “rape” of the people around her and looked at John Lu and continued to pray, “Lu, I’m just taking a few minutes of your time to ask for clarification.”
“Hehe …,” she said, her poker friends at the table coaxed laughter and teased, “Little sister, you really underestimate Lu Shao’s durability, a few minutes is not enough time.”
After saying that, the whole room laughed along with the people.NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.
Phoebe Barnes was suddenly angry and disgusted by this upscale world.
But before she could react, she heard a “bang” and the young man who had just spoken was kicked down by the man with his back to her along with a chair.
Immediately afterwards came a rippling tone, “What an ugly smile, do you want me to help you to rectify Rong?”
The broad young man who fell to the ground had a stiff face, and was even more a little confused, “Second, second master, what are you?”
John Lu looked like he didn’t care about anything, but suddenly raised his handsome eyebrows and looked at the man across from him with a playful look in his eyes, ” Master Rong II knows Miss Barnes?”
What?
Phoebe Barnes, who was just slightly shocked, was now completely shocked.
Rong, Rong Erji?
The small face brushed white, she looked at the back of the man’s head across the room, her eyes trembled lightly, he was Wind Rong?
How did Wind Rong end up playing poker with John Lu?
The man with the gray shirt finally turned around, a handsome face without borders, a smiling expression, but also just swept her a glance, then turned away lightly and said with a light smile, “If you know the name, even if you know it, oh, then I should know it.”
“Oh, I remember, she’s the … one, Phoebe Barnes?” exclaimed the woman who had just wondered, flipping through her phone and finally remembering.
People have never met, but the words Phoebe Barnes do appear more frequently online these days, and they all stand in the headlines.
