My Love, Enlighten me

Chapter 505 Telepathy

"Why can't he do it? He is a pleaser since he was only a little child. Children are very fond of him." Edith Hall smiled nostalgically when she recalled the past.

She patted Gloria Taylor on the shoulder, "Don't worry. It will only be an hour or two."

"Carl Cook won't stay for the banquet?" Gloria Taylor asked.

Edith Hall sneered, "His life is basically party after party. He is invited to dinners and banquets every day. What's the big deal if he doesn't stay for one?"

Gloria Taylor was thinking of another thing this time.

The fact that Kenny Clarke was the real boss of Sheng Ding Media had never been exposed and the relationship of Kenny Clarke and Carl Cook was rarely known except for those around them.

This way, it was normal for Carl Cook to or not to attend the banquet Kenny Clarke hosted.

When she finally came to her senses, Edith Hall was already calling Carl Cook.

Even if she could hear what Carl Cook said, she could imagine Carl Cook was probably saying yes.

Although Carl Cook had a temper, people with eyes could see how he felt about Edith Hall.

He regarded her word like an order. He would never say the word 'no'.

This bright and straightforward manner was how Carl Cook and Edith Hall get along.

Edith Hall seemed to hide something in her heart. She hadn't officially accepted Carl Cook either. But, looking at Carl Cook's approach, it seemed that he wouldn't stop until Edith Hall said yes.

If she happened to refuse, Gloria Taylor doubted that they could get along for the rest of their lives.

It was not a good thing.

After Gloria Taylor and Edith Hall picked out dresses and done putting on their makeup, Carl Cook came.

Tina Clarke also happened to be awake this time.

The little girl was fascinated. She wanted to touch Gloria Taylor's permed hair.

She took Tina Clarke to change her clothes and held her out.

Carl Cook had a signature way to charm a child, candy.

Tina Clarke loved candy the most.

She picked it up happily. Carl Cook clapped his hands, "Will you give me a hug?"

He successfully bribed the little girl. Tina Clarke reached out her little arms and leaned over to Carl Cook.

His eyes narrowed with laughter, "Oh, my little baby."

After he called her that, he acted as if Tina Clarke was his own daughter.

Tina Clarke's eyebrows wrinkled, "Name's Tina."

Carl Cook laughed, "You have you father's personality."

Carl Cook was holding Tina Clarke. Both of them were talking and laughing. They got along well.

"I think we're done." Edith Hall patted Gloria Taylor's shoulder and followed her eyes to look at Carl Cook and Tina Clarke.NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

"Will she bother you?" Gloria Taylor walked to Carl Cook and asked.

"No. We're fine." after he entered the room, he never stopped smiling.

Gloria Taylor told Tina Clarke to promise her that she would listen to Uncle Cook well.

Finally, the three adults and a little girl set off to the banquet.

It was almost six o'clock at the moment. Although there was food in the banquet, they wouldn't be full eating that. So, they went to the restaurant in the seven-star hotel where the banquet was held to eat something.

After eating, Carl Cook booked a room in the hotel. In case something happened, he could directly find Gloria Taylor and Edith Hall in the banquet hall.

The party started at eight o'clock. Gloria Taylor and Edith Hall went down early.

There were not many people yet. Gloria Taylor managed to find a small and quiet corner to sit.

This time, the guests were coming one after another. Familiar faces seen in the newspaper and movies were there.

When the place was getting crowded, Gloria Taylor, who hid in the corner, became inconspicuous.

Edith Hall was sitting in the corner to keep Gloria Taylor company. She talked about the guests, "Do you see that man over there? He is a philanthropist, but he secretly has several mistresses."

"That female star over there. She is secretly married."

"There is also that one over there. He is a director infamously known to have secret rules that newcomers have to agree on."

Gloria Taylor listened with relish, "You're doing a wrong job. You should be a reporter."

Edith Hall shook the champagne glass in her hand and said with irony, "There is no secret in the entertainment industry. People with tainted reputation will be kicked out sooner or later, but when they have no interest in each other, they will play dumb and pretend not to know."

Gloria Taylor was silent for a moment. She asked, "Aren't you tired of it?"

As a screenwriter, she worked behind the scene. It was completely different from Edith Hall's job.

"Well, it mainly depends on my mental."

This time, there was a commotion at the entrance of the banquet hall.

Edith Hall stood up. She tiptoed and stretched her neck to look out, "It seems that Big Boss is coming."

Gloria Taylor saw Kenny Clarke pushing Randy Clarke to the hall.

As usual, Kenny Clarke wore a dark-colored suit. She felt that he didn't look very good tonight. His face was rather pale as if he was… ill.

She bit her lips. She thought too much.

Kenny Clarke was made of iron and steel. He rarely fell ill.

Randy Clarke was sitting in the wheelchair. His hair was neat. However, because he was too thin, the suit looked baggy on him. It didn't look good at all. One of the sleeves was also empty.

Although he was lowering his head, not seeing anybody, his tight grip on the handrail showed that he was nervous.

It's hard to imagine a man who was in power for decades and spent his life in the market nervous about attending a banquet.

This was Randy Clarke's first appearance since his kidnapping news three years ago.

He could feel that everyone was surprised.

Some pitied him, some other was happy.

The guests made way for Kenny Clarke.

Shi Ye followed from behind.

Gloria Taylor was standing in the corner. Many people were standing in front of her. Kenny Clarke pushed Randy Clarke forward without looking around. He shouldn't be able to spot her in the crowd.

However, when Kenny Clarke pushed Randy Clarke past her, she felt that he suddenly looked back and saw through the crowd.

The other guests felt that Kenny Clarke seemed to be looking at someone. They all followed his line of sight.

When Gloria Taylor noticed this, she quickly turned around and pretended to look to the other side like everyone else did.

Edith Hall responded differently. She excitedly pulled Gloria Taylor to the side, "Big Boss is looking at you. It's amazing, isn't it? He can see you from far away. Is this telepathy?"
