“Young master.” A man in black had walked in.
“I brought you supper.” The subordinate respectfully handed him a flask of noddles.
The man didn’t divert his gaze from his book.
He only muttered coldly.
“Go down.”
“Young master, if you do not want to have this for supper, then I could quickly get you something else.
And besides, it’s been a while since you returned to New York, so it’s time to go home.”
“Go down.” The man said for the second time.
For some reasons, the man in black had hastily walked out of the pharmacy.
The man flipped through the medical book, he felt that the contents were boring.
He closed the book and stood up.
He moved over to Oriana.
Oriana was wearing a mask.
Her black hair was scattered around her cheeks.
The man reached out and took off her mask.
Oriana’s phone which laid on the table rang.
The man lowered his eyes and glanced at her phone.
The word “Mr. Armstead” was on the screen.
The man slowly placed back her mask.
Oriana was awakened by the frequent ringing of her phone.
She sat up.
The man who was lying on the table had disappeared.
Oriana quickly picked up her phone and answered the call.
“Hello, Mr. Armstead.”
Deacon’s low, yet charismatic voice sounded.
“Why did you answer my call so late? If you had delayed a little further, I think I could have been on my way to catch the adulterer.”
“Mr. Armstead, your imagination has really gone wild.
I’m still here at the research institute.
I was exhausted and had dozed off for a while.
You have nothing to worry about.” Her sweet voice said softly.
“I’ll pick you up.” Deacon tone was now softer than earlier.
“No, no need.
I need to stay back and study.
In three days time, I’ll have to answer to director Hudson’s task.
Everyone’s waiting to see me fail, so they can mock me.
So I’ll be studying overtime so no one will have the opportunity to look down on me.”
Deacon didn’t persist.
He changed the topic and chatted casually.
How many handsome guys have you met today? I heard that there are quite a handful of handsome guys there.
and they’re mostly from wealthy backgrounds.” Oriana felt that in addition to acting aggressively, Deacon also had a strong desire to control her.
She had always insisted on doing things her way, hence the reason he had allowed her.
But now, he was strict with the male friends that she made.
Oriana didn’t have any male friends.
But she held the phone and deliberately teased him.
“Yeah, there are so many handsome guys in the Ivory Council.
I met some today.”
Deacon didn’t mutter another word.
After some seconds, he let out a low and provocative laughter.
“Oh, really?” Oriana knew that he was already angry.
She did not dare to provoke him further.
So she stopped laughing and said, “I lied to you, they are not as handsome as you.” Deacon’s smiled and muttered.
“Little liar, lying doesn’t suit you, don’t you think so?”
“Mr. Armstead, you’re the most handsome man to me, other guys handsomeness is none of my business.” She expressed her loyalty to him.
Deacon felt pleased with her words.
He knew he shouldn’t be interfering in her private affairs.
But she was way too intelligent and beautiful, he knew she’ll be wanted by numerous men.
“Olly.” He whispered.
Oriana rarely heard him refer to her as “Olly“, as he was fond of calling her Mrs. Armstead.
“What?” Oriana questioned.
“Olly, I don’t like boys who study medicine.
Don’t get close to them.”
“Oh.
Mr. Armstead doesn’t like boys who study medicine, but likes girls who do.
What an irony.” Oriana replied with a laugh.
“Olly, I’m serious.
My brother studied medicine.
He has been a medical genius since he was a child.
He is quite good.”
This was the first time Oriana had heard him talk about his family.
North had told her that Deacon had only come to LA seven years ago.
She had thought that Mrs. Samantha was his only relative..
“Mr. Armstead, do you have a brother?”
“Step brother.
My mother passed away when I was still young.
Mrs. Armstead is my stepmother.” Deacon chatted.
Oriana shivered.
She hadn’t expected Deacon’s background to be similar to hers.
“So his father, stepmother and his brother who is a medical genius lived together, and he lived with his grandma in LA?” Oriana pondered inwardly.
Deacon had always been a mature and reserved man.
He had never disclosed this prior.
He always did say little or nothing about his family.
“Mr. Armstead…”
“I don’t want to listen to you now.
Study hard and take care.” Deacon hung up immediately.
Oriana stared at her phone screen angrily.
He was the one who called her, and also the one who hurried to end the call.
Oriana placed her phone back on the table.
The man who often like sleeping had returned.
Oriana was really frightened.
His footsteps were very light.
Oriana looked at his hands, and sighted a flask which contained instant noodles.
Oriana’s stomach grumbled uncomfortably.
She had eaten only a little food at noon.
She had been cleaning all day, and hadn’t had dinner.
She was really hungry.
Oriana saw that the man was reading a book.
It was a medical book.
His fingers were white and slender, and also very beautiful.
Anyone who had such fingers were most likely a piano player or a doctor.
Oriana wasn’t interested in his hands or it beauty.
All she cared for was the noodles which laid before him.
He didn’t seem to be in a hurry to eat the noddles.
Oriana stood up and went to the man.
“Ii, sorry to bother you.
Do you want to eat your noodles? I haven’t had dinner, could I have your food for dinner, then I’ll return it to you tomorrow morning.” Without lifting his head, he said slowly.
” Take it.” Oriana grabbed the flask happily and thanked him, she hurried back to her chair.
Her phone rang, it was Mr. Armstead.
Oriana picked up her phone from the table and answered it.
“Hello, Mr. Armstead.” Deacon’s low and lovely voice sounded.” Come out.” Oriana’s eyes lit up.
She quickly put down the small fork and scurried out.
When she walked out of the Ivory Council.
Oriana sighted a Roll Royce Phantom on the side of the road.
It was Deacon’s car.
Oriana halted and stared at him.
Deacon sat in the car leaning his back on the chair.
He was wearing a gray shirt.
The color looked gorgeous on him.
She didn’t lie, he was the most handsome man that she had ever seen.
“Mr. Armstead, I’m here!” Oriana announced.
Deacon glanced sideways and got out of the car.
Oriana ran over and rushed into his embrace.
