Chapter 4429

"I……"

Carl deliberately drew a long tone, which greatly increased Pippi's expectation and attention to his next sentence.

"I came in the morning and was supposed to pick you up for a company meeting, but you pushed back before you were drunk."

"Then, how did you get in?"

"I knocked on the door for a long time and there was no answer. I was afraid that something would happen to you, so I asked the staff to open the door. I sent you back yesterday, and I also booked the room for you. These staff members know about it."

"Oh, I see."

False alarm, Pippi got out of bed after hearing Carl's words.

She slipped on the slippers and slid in front of Carl, "I'm hungry, but I want to take a shower, please help me get food to be brought up."

Before Carl could say yes, she said thank you first, and then rushed to the bathroom.

Pippi was taking a bath in the bathroom. After a while, the staff brought food. Carl knocked on the bathroom door and said, "The food is here. If you don't want to eat something cold, hurry up."

"Oh, I see……"

Pippi responded, but didn't speed up.

This season is summer, she wished to eat cold food, no one would like to eat hot food, the hot taste is uncomfortable.

Pippi stayed in the bathroom for almost an hour before coming out. When she came out, Carl was drinking coffee at the dining table. The knife and fork in front of Carl had no signs of being used, which meant that he had been waiting for her to eat.

"Why do you wait for me, you can eat first."

"I'm not hungry."

Carl replied and continued drinking his coffee.

"Okay then, if you're not in a hurry, I'll change into another dress. It's awkward to eat in a bathrobe."

"Um."

Carl didn't think much about it, but Pippi actually thought about it a lot. She felt that sitting face to face with Carl, wearing a strappy bathrobe would make it easy to get naked. If... the straps were loose, it would be troublesome.

...

After Pippi changed her clothes, she sat at the dining table. Before she started, she took a deep breath, "Wow, the one you chose seems to be delicious. It is indeed right to entrust you with this task."

"Then eat quickly."

Carl reminded Pippi, and then he looked at the phone with a sophisticated look, as if he was dealing with work rigorously.

At this moment, Pippi felt a little emotional. She was only a few months away from Carl, but Carl's growth rate was much faster than her these days, and she couldn't catch up no matter how unwilling she was.

Pippi said to Carl while eating, "You look like a middle-aged president, sophisticated and cunning."

"There are too many troubles, and it will naturally be like this."

"What happened to you? Is it a business or a private matter? It is said that emotional problems make people grow. Did you meet a woman you like again, and then..."

Pippi was guessing enthusiastically, when Carl interrupted her, "No."

His denial made Pippi unable to continue guessing, so she had to eat in silence.

A few minutes later, Carl got up and took Pippi's cell phone from the sofa and handed it to her, "You turned off your phone when you fell asleep, but I turned it on for you in case there was something urgent."

Pippi was not in a high mood when he heard this, and just responded perfunctorily.

"Um."

Carl then said, "I received a call from Zhou Muqing, and he asked me about you."

"you……"

Pippi originally asked Carl why he answered the phone, but she answered it all. She didn't want to think about whether others were kind, so she temporarily changed the question, "You answered the phone, what did he say?"
