Chapter 105 The Female Voice on the Phone
Kristen comforted him in a soft voice. She felt sorry for him, but she did not show any emotion. She just said to him, “It’s all in the past. You have to look forward.”
Ethan held Kristen. He seemed to feel a sense of security as soon as he felt her temperature.
After a long time, the two finally let go of each other.
Ethan said, “You have never mentioned your family. What does your family do?”
Hearing this question, Kristen was stunned for a second. She blinked her eyes and quickly thought of how to organize her words. Then she said, “My families are ordinary people. My parents passed away when I was a child, but I have a grandfather who loves me. I grew up under the protection of my grandfather, so my life was happy.”
It was the first time Ethan had heard Kristen mention her family.
Although he had already investigated her family background, his heart still ached when he heard her say it out loud. He held her tightly, “It doesn’t matter. I will be by your side in the future.”
Kristen looked up at him.
Although she knew that they wouldn’t be together for a long time, she still couldn’t help being touched by his promise.
Kristen came back to her senses, “I have to go. Or I’ll be late.”
Ethan let go of her.
“Let me take you there.”
Ethan drove Kristen to the place where the show was recorded. Kristen got out of the car and waved at Ethan. He didn’t drive away until he couldn’t see her.
In the car, Ethan called Jacob.
“You can put everything difficult to deal with on my desk. I’ll be right back.”
“Yes, Mr. Wharton.”
After hanging up, Ethan couldn’t help speeding up.
After arriving at TNK Group, Ethan took his exclusive elevator upstairs as usual. However, when he pushed open his office door, a familiar figure slowly turned around.
“Long time no see.”
Ethan narrowed his eyes and looked at the face that looked very similar to Kristen’s. For a moment, he was stunned.
Scarlett took the initiative to walk up to him with a bright smile, “What? Don’t you recognize me?”
Ethan looked at the woman who had once occupied his memory, but he only bit his lips and said, “Why are you here?”
But Scarlett took the initiative to wrap her arm around his.
“Ethan, I miss you so much.”
Jacob, who was at the door, was dumbfounded when he saw this.
But just as he was about to leave, Ethan called him.
“Jacob.”
Jacob stopped in his tracks, “Mr. Wharton.”
Ethan withdrew his hand, “Get Miss Alene a cup of coffee.”
Jacob understood. He turned around and left, closing the door behind him.
Jacob pushed his glasses up his nose and thought of the face that was the same as Kristen’s. He felt that this matter was not that simple, but he did not ask any more questions. He just brought in a cup of coffee as he was told.
…
Kristen and Ivan spent a long time choosing a song for the final. Finally, they chose a song with a strong beat. They practiced in the singing room with Malcolm.
“Well, I think this song is not bad. Tomorrow is the final competition. Everyone, try your best to get good results.”
After Kristen finished, Ivan opened a bottle of mineral water and handed it to her, “Have some water, Miss Healey.”
Kristen took it and said, “Thank you.”
“Miss Healey, I think we can make some modifications to the ending part of this song,” Malcolm said as they began to discuss.Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
Just then, Kristen’s phone rang.
“Excuse me, I have to take this call.”
Kristen took out her phone and looked at the strange number displayed on the screen. There was a flash of suspicion in her eyes, but she still picked up the phone.
“Hello?”
There was no sound from the other end of the line. Kristen frowned, “Are you there? Hello?”
Just as Kristen was about to hang up, a woman’s voice rang out.
“Ethan, so many years have passed, but you haven’t changed at all. You still love me, don’t you?”
Kristen didn’t hear it clearly, but she felt that the voice was a little familiar.
However, in the next second, a man’s voice rang out and Kristen was stunned.
Ethan’s voice came from the receiver, “Yes, I love you…”
Because of this simple phrase, Kristen was stunned on the spot. She looked at the phone screen in disbelief and was overwhelmed by confusion.
“Miss Healey, what’s wrong?” Ivan asked after seeing her face.
However, Kristen didn’t say anything for a long time.
Ivan was confused, “Miss Healey, did something happen? What’s going on?”
Kristen then came back to her senses, “Nothing, I’m fine.”
With that, she hung up the phone.
“You guys practice the song first. I have to go out for a while.”
After saying that, Kristen ran out and bumped into Anna, who was walking over.
Anna found that Kristen was absent-minded, so she hurriedly asked, “Kristen, where are you going?”
Kristen ignored her and left.
Anna was a little worried and hurriedly caught up with Kristen.
“Kristen, what’s wrong with you? You seem a little jumpy. Did something happen?”
Kristen replied, “I’m fine. Go to work.” Then she stepped into the elevator.
Anna stood still with a puzzled expression on her face. As she watched the elevator door close, for some reason, she felt that Kristen was a little strange today.
Kristen rushed to the top floor of TNK Group and Jacob was stunned when he saw her, “Miss… Miss Healey?”
Kristen asked directly, “Is Ethan here?”
At this moment, Kristen was like a hedgehog with thorns. No one dared to approach her.
Jacob, who had been Ethan’s assistant for so many years, felt Kristen was different today. He remembered that the woman in the office was still there at the moment, so Jacob said.
“Miss Healey, Mr. Wharton isn’t here now.”
Kristen frowned and immediately took out her phone to make a call. Then, a familiar ringtone came from the office. Jacob just wanted to slap himself.
“Miss Healey…”
He wanted to stop Kristen, but she had already passed him and pushed open the office door.
The next second, Kristen froze in place. When she saw the scene in front of her, her mind went blank and she clenched her fists silently.
