Chapter 271 Kneel on the Keyboard or the Pen, I’ll Listen to You
The next morning, probably because Evelyn had something on her mind or because she felt uneasy,
she woke up particularly early. She stretched herself, and her first reaction was to
reach out to touch the side.
She wanted to hug the person next to her and act like a spoiled child, but she didn’t expect to touch a
smooth bed
sheet.
Stunned for a moment, Evelyn tried left and right again, but it was still empty.
Her face, hidden in the quilt, wrinkled. She sat up halfway and found that the bed and pillow beside her
were all neat and tidy. Huston hadn’t come back all night.
She bent down and picked up her phone. There was an unread text message on the table.
When she clicked on it, there were only a few words: I drank too much at the social engagement. Don’t
wait for me.
When her eyes met these words, she bit her lip. Had he drunk
too much?
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhen did he become so hard-working at social engagements? Did he go to drink personally?
Her intuition told her that there must be something fishy going on. Without much hesitation, she made a
phone call. Fortunately, the other end of the line was picked up soon.
Huston’s deep voice came into her ears. “You’re awake?”
However, when Evelyn heard that, her anger subsided a lot, and her resentment turned into coquetry.
“Didn’t you come back last night?”
Huston remained silent for two seconds and said, “Well,
I drank too much alcohol, and the after-effects were too strong. If I went home, I would disturb you, so I
slept at a hotel.”
His voice sounded normal. Evelyn tried her best not to think too much about it, but she couldn’t help
asking him, “Who did you drink with last night?”
“Some political officers.” Huston was waiting for the traffic. light when he stepped on the brakes
repeatedly, giving the
reason that he had rehearsed countless times in his mind.
Evelyn understood that dealing with political officers’
obligations and social engagements could be troublesome. She knew that he had many responsibilities
at work beyond his control. However, deep down, she couldn’t help feeling a sense of grievance. She
knew that no one would make things difficult for him, and if he wanted to return, he would definitely be
able to.
For a moment, neither of them spoke, and there was only the
sound of each other’s breathing on the phone.
Hearing the sound of the car horn on his side, she didn’t dare to delay any longer. “You can drive first.”
Knowing that she was about to hang up, Huston called out to her softly, “Evelyn.”
Evelyn paused and asked, “What’s wrong?”
“Be good, and don’t think too much about it. I’ll ask the driver to pick you up later. Let’s talk about it
when we get to the company.” Huston pursed his lips and loosened them. His playful tone didn’t hide
his unease, “You can decide whether to make me kneel on a keyboard or a pen as punishment. I’ll
obey your command.”
The gloominess in her heart dissipated a lot because of these words. “Don’t go back on your word.”
At the end of her words, she raised her voice slightly. Hearing

and his tone
was doting and indulgent. “I won’t back down. I’ll have your personally ‘check me.””
Evelyn curled up her knees and muttered with a red face, “What a rogue…
From last night until now, a rare smile appeared on Huston’s
face. “Get up quickly. I’ll wait for you at the company, okay?”
Hearing his voice, the anger in Evelyn’s heart almost disappeared, and her voice was soft as if it had
melted out of
a pile of candy. “Okay.”
After saying a few more words and hanging up the phone,
Huston kept calling Kevin. The gentleness in his voice
disappeared, and he said in a businesslike tone, “Arrange for two of George’s men to the villa in the
north of the city. Mia
said she felt dizzy last night. I’m worried about her health.”
On the other end of the line, Kevin had just arrived at his
office. He had yet to put down his briefcase. “Dizzy? Are there
any other reactions? This has never happened before.”
