Chapter 128
Gustavo looked up again and finished his drink, then said in a calm tone, “I’m Gustavo, this is my business card. If Ms. Davenport needs any help in the future, she can always find me.”
Paulette wanted to say no, but Gustavo clearly didn’t give her the chance to refuse, he just left after putting down his business card.
She stared at the business card for a while, then Lynda, who had just sat down, reached out and took it.
“Gustavo.”
She spoke slowly, as if in deep thought.
Suddenly, “Wow, Paulette, someone was hitting on you just a moment after I left, and he’s a really important person.”
Paulette casually took a sip of juice, “It’s not flirting, just sealing the deal.”
If Gustavo was really a big shot, it’s normal for him to act out of character when a stranger saw his vulnerable side and pretended to be friends to shut her up.
She nodded in agreement with the idea, looking at the business card in Lynda’s hand and said, “If you like it, it’s yours.”
“I don’t want to!”
Lynda rolled her eyes and tossed the business card on the table.
I picked it up and handed it to Paulette, “He’s the most famous colorist in
Paulette had a few drinks and when she left, her face was all warm. Luckily, the designated driver Lynda called drove very steadily, so she didn’t end up throwing up.
Lynda started sleeping as soon as she got on the car, the quiet carriage only interrupted by occasional navigation sounds.
Paulette looked outside through the window.
The bustling town of Crireton, full of people.
Countless people came to this city with dreams, from excitement to exhaustion, like wading through a whole quagmire.
She was lost in thought, her mind wandering far away.
Not long after, the phone rang.
Paulette picked up the phone, leaned her forehead against the car window feeling a chill, and said, Hello.
The man’s voice was deep and magnetic, “It’s me.”
Paulette laughed, “I knew it.”
“Did you go back?”
“Still in the car.”
At this moment, Jeremiah was standing outside a club, his car parked without moving. He turned to look at the night outside the window, the city’s neon lights reflecting in his dark pupils, deep and bottomless.
He seemed to see the girl’s pretty figure right next to him, pursing her lips. and smiling at him.

“What about Lynda?”
“I fell asleep.”
Paulette had a low voice, with a unique tone that hinted at having had a few drinks. “She drank a lot today, I didn’t realize this job also involves so much socializing.”
“And you?”
“I drank too.”
She pouted, “But I didn’t drink as much as her.”
Just listening to her voice, Jeremiah’s tired look disappeared a lot. He said, “Go back and let Larissa make you a sober soup, put a glass of water on the bedside, you might get thirsty at night.”
The girl didn’t say anything, she just chuckled softly.
“Paulette?”
“Huh?”
Paulette licked her lips, knowing he was puzzled. “I just suddenly felt like, you’re doing great.”
Jeremiah was silent..
Paulette leaned against the glass and took a deep breath, then extended her slender fingers to draw a heart, chatting casually as if with her closest
person.
“You know, when I was a kid, my parents loved me so much. Maybe God thought I was too happy, so He decided to take everything back that was

given to me. Everything stopped at the age of eight.”
“Although everyone in the Chapman family was very nice to me, Nelson…”
When it comes to that person, Paulette paused for a moment.
Then I laughed it off, “Compared to Monty and Maxine, my stepfather Nelson handled everything related to me in an organized way. I really appreciate him.”
“But…”
“But, I really can’t stand him again.
“He knew how much I relied on him, but he wouldn’t stay away from me, always trying to control everything and making me stay under his nose.”
Talking about this, Paulette realized that she didn’t know since when she had become completely indifferent.
She smiled slightly and said, “Jeremiah, maybe I haven’t really grown up yet, just give me a little more time.”
If you were willing to give me a little patience.
I am willing to walk towards the future with you.
Not just marriage.
But clean, pure, most loyal and precious, unique.
.
Jeremiah unconsciously tightened his grip on the phone, his Adam’s apple bobbing, and his eyes seemed to be filled with erupting lava.
“He didn’t say a word for half a day,” Paulette took her phone down to take a look, then put it back to her car, “Are you asleep?”
