Suzy absent-mindedly drove back to the villa. She carefully recalled this matter in her mind, and the time and place matched.
She waited at the door for a long time before Evan's car slowly appeared.
Suzy walked over. Evan said indifferently, "Get in the car."
Suzy did not move. Instead, she stood by the window and said with a conflicted expression, "Can you... not go on the business trip?"
Evan had been looking down at his phone when he heard that and met her gaze.
"Or shall we go somewhere else for business? I don't want to go to Cone Town." Suzy's expression was a bit strange.
"Don't be long-winded. Go wherever I go." Evan was impatient.
Suzy was speechless. In the end, she opened her mouth and said, "Wait a moment for me. I'll go pack my things first."
Evan was momentarily speechless. After packing the two sets of clothes and daily necessities, Suzy quickly went downstairs. At the same time, Evan had already changed to the passenger seat.
At this time, he was looking down at the tablet computer. Hearing the noise, he said lightly, "You drive."
"Just the two of us?"
"Who else do you want?"
Suzy was too speechless. Not only did she have to go on a business trip with him, but she also had to work part-time as a driver. Sitting in the driver's seat, Suzy could not help but feel that those clothes and jewelry in the morning were not given to her for nothing.
The car left Somo City. About an hour and a half later, they arrived at Cone Town.
The Hughes Group had developed a resort near Cone Town. Evan's main purpose for this trip was to check the resort's property ownership and other details.
Their car stopped outside the hotel. Evan said, "Go upstairs and book a room. I still have work to do."
"I'll go with you," replied Suzy immediately.
"No need."
"It's boring for me to stay in the hotel alone. I'll be your driver. Don't worry! I won't go to work with you. I'll wait for you in the car."
Evan looked at Suzy in confusion: She had always wanted to stay away from him, but now...
"What's the matter with you?"
"Huh?" Suzy didn't know what was going on before she realized that Evan thought that she needed his help with something. She smiled and shook her head. "No, it's my honor to be Mr. Hughes's driver."
Evan narrowed his eyes and sized her up.
"You'd better not regret it."
As Suzy didn't understand what he meant, Evan had already told her the address.
Suzy started the car again and arrived about half an hour later. Evan got out of the car with the documents while Suzy was waiting outside the parking lot.
She glanced outside and saw that the resort was still under construction. In the news of her past life, it had only mentioned that Evan had been injured due to a plot, and there were no other details. Suzy frowned. He was unlikely to be injured in broad daylight.
Suzy was indeed worried that something had happened to Evan. He was now her backer. If something had happened to Evan and he had been in a coma for a month, who would she ask for help?
While thinking, she took out her mobile phone and slowly dialed a number...
They arrived at the resort at one o'clock in the afternoon, while Suzy had waited until five, but Evan still hadn't come out. At this time, she finally understood what Evan meant before.
Suzy waited in irritation. She regretted it so much - couldn't she sleep comfortably in the hotel?
It was not until 5:30 p. m that Suzy couldn't stand it anymore and dialed Evan's number. Ten seconds later, the call was picked up.
"Is your work still not over? What a huge waste of time!" complained Suzy.
"You insisted on following me here."
Suzy was extremely speechless.
On the other end of the line, Evan hung up the phone ruthlessly. This call did not affect Evan's work. It was not until 7. p. m. that he finished the meeting with the project director and walked out of the resort. The project director said respectfully, "Mr. Hughes, I have booked a restaurant in Cone Town. The address is..."
Evan looked at his watch and thought of Suzy, waiting outside. He paused briefly and said coldly, "No, thanks. I still have something to do. You can eat by yourselves."
With that, Evan left.
Suzy almost fell asleep in the car while waiting for Evan to finish his work.
Evan got in the car and looked down at the documents. He didn't say a word and treated Suzy as a tool girl.
Suzy cursed in her heart: Merciless Capitalist!
Suzy then started the car to leave.
The car drove to the hotel and stopped. Evan and Suzy got out of the car. At this time, more than a dozen men at the front desk were checking in. They were tall and strong, dressed in black suits, and looked very dignified. Everyone couldn't help looking at them.
Seeing Evan and Suzy approaching, the man in the lead walked over and said to Suzy, "Miss Carters, it's done."
He passed a small thing in his pocket to Suzy as he spoke.
"You can press this alarm. We will know your location and then come here immediately."
"Okay, thank you."
Suzy received it with a smile. After the bodyguards checked in, they brought their men upstairs.
The scene was particularly grand, so the hotel staff had to take a few more glances.
Evan looked at Suzy. "What's going on?"
Suzy pursed her lips: How was she supposed to explain this?
She couldn't possibly tell him that she had reincarnated and predicted that Evan would be in danger in the next few days, so Suzy hired so many bodyguards, could she?
She thought for two seconds and said, "I have a lot of enemies and anti-fans recently. Teresa threatened me in the mall that she would not let me go. I'm afraid the Carters family will do something to me when they know I'm not in Somo City."
Evan probably really believed Suzy, so he glanced at her speechlessly.
"Would your movements be exposed with me around? Would something happen to you?"
It was because of you that something bad happened. Suzy complained in her heart, but she still said with a smile, "I have to be careful when I'm outside! Okay, let's eat."
Evan didn't know what was in Suzy's mind. After arriving at the restaurant on the third floor and ordering the dishes, he suddenly asked, "Why did you break off with the Carters family?"
The Carters family was quite wealthy. Even if Suzy was not their biological daughter, her relationship with the Carters family was still admirable.
"I have always been a substitute for Teresa in the Carters family, so they treated me well before. But now it's different since Teresa returned to the Carters family. To get the heroine role in the movie, Teresa even sent me to Mr. Levis's bed with dirty means. But the Carters family also thought that what she did was right. In the future, as long as the Carters family is in trouble, they will push me out as a scapegoat! Therefore, severing the relationship with the Carters family is my only way out!"
Evan couldn't help looking at her a few more times. This girl was clear-headed.
"What about you? What enmity do you have with the Carters family?" Suzy asked.
Evan lowered his head to eat and did not answer her. When it came to this topic, his eyes were very gloomy.
Suzy didn't dare ask any more questions.
After dinner, the two went to the hotel room. They would sleep together at night, so she only booked one room. When she walked in, she found that the bathroom inside was transparent glass.
Suzy said, extremely speechless, "I'll book another room."
Evan watched her leave with an expressionless face. For some reason, he recalled that night and the red dress she had worn last night... He couldn't help feeling agitated from head to toe.
