Chapter 26 (1/2)
Pandragon. Owen's restaurant.
”Carol! Carol! Carol!! ”
After hearing that someone kept calling herself, Carol finally recovered.
”What's the matter? Uncle Owen. ”
Owen, the boss, looked at Carol with a worried look on his face and said, ”Why are you always distracted recently? You always look like you are out of your mind.”
”Ah, nothing.” Carol said faintly, ”just because a good friend of mine is doing a very dangerous thing now, and my other two companions are doing that dangerous thing with him. I'm a little worried about the three of them.”
Carol paused and continued:
”I'm... Worried that they won't come back...”
”All right, all right.” Owen said with a smile, ”there's nothing to worry about. It's no use for us to worry here. Is your friend who goes to do dangerous things the boy with black hair and black pupils who waited for you to finish your work and go home with you last time?”
The last time he had dinner with Ethel, waited for Carol to get off work in the restaurant, and then went home with Carol, Owen just saw Su Cheng.
”Well, that's him.” Carol nodded.
Owen's eyes became strange.
”Carol, what do you... Have to do with him? Is it that kind of relationship? ”
Then Owen put his hands in the shape of love.
”Well...”
Carol raised her right index finger and grabbed the back of her neck - this is Carol's habit, which she will do when thinking.
Carol thought for a moment and then said, ”it's not that kind of relationship yet. I should belong to my best friend and cohabitant with him now.”
”Cohabitation?!”
”Wow...” Carol was frightened by Owen's roar, and her shoulders could not help shrinking.
”Uncle Owen, why are you shouting so loudly all of a sudden?”
”Did you live with that boy?”
”Yes, didn't I tell you? Not only do I live under the same roof with him, but he and I also live with two other girls. ”
”In other words, does that guy live with three girls...” Owen showed an envious expression. ”How envious! Why didn't I have such a good fortune when I was young.”
”Well,” Owen continued, ”your relationship with that boy is really good. It's so good that you can live under the same roof.”
”You can say so.” Carol smiled brightly. ”I'm used to having him around me now. If one day I can't live under the same roof with him, I'll be very lonely.”
”Hey? Carol, listen to you, you're not right about that boy -- ”
Owen put on a loving expression with his hands again.
”Well...” Carol smiled cunningly. ”Uncle Owen, take your time.”
”You don't want to spoil my appetite...”
”Well, uncle Owen, keep working.” Carol's face looked a little tired. ”After talking for so long, I'm a little tired. Hurry up and continue working. It's almost time for dinner. I have to prepare quickly.”
”Well, well, work.” As Owen spoke, he stretched his waist hard.
Carol has been working with him for more than a month, and he has a little understanding of Carol's temperament. Now he also knows that Carol is not a very talkative person. It's a very strange thing to talk to him for so long just now.
However, Owen was only quiet for a moment and said:
”Oh, Carol.”
”What's the matter, uncle Owen? If it's not important, can you tell me later? Now I have to work hard. ” After more than a month and nearly two months of getting along, Carol and her boss Owen gradually became familiar, and their speech gradually became less formal and polite.
”Nothing, just want to ask you the bracelet you wear on your left wrist?” Owen pointed to Carol's left wrist. ”Haven't you been wearing it all the time? How come you haven't worn it lately? ”
”Oh, this.”
Carol raised her left hand to reveal her white wrist.
Looking at her white left wrist, Carol showed a shallow smile.
”I lent it to someone for the time being. This bracelet is the amulet my mother left me, so I lent it to someone. I hope this bracelet can also play a role in protecting my body without me.”
