Chapter 311 Are You Checking on Him?
Burton was a little surprised to see August get into the car directly after he came out of the hospital gate.It had only taken him only ten minutes in the hospital, which was too fast.
Seeing August's face terrifyingly gloomy, Burton had no choice but to swallow his doubts.
August instructed in a deep voice, "Go to the Perfect Fortune."
Then he took out his mobile phone and called Joshua directly, "Come out and have a drink."
Half an hour later, when August arrived at the place, Joshua was already waiting at the door.He was sleepy and in a bad mood.
Seeing August getting out of the car, he went up to meet him, "August, don't you know I had a mission last night?"
August cast a cold glance at him, and said coldly, "Who said that he has never lost when it comes to the wine? Now, are you willing to admit defeat?"
When Joshua heard this, he laughed out loud, "Of course not, I never give up easily."
He followed August, observed his face, and suddenly asked with a smile, "Who messed with you? You look so gloomy!"
August didn't answer.
After entering the box, he ordered the waiter to serve wine.
Joshua smiled.
He opened a bottle of wine calmly, took a sip, and said, "You've been leisurely lately, so it stands to reason that you shouldn't have anything to worry about."
August picked up the glass, swayed the liquid in the glass, and said thoughtfully, "Don't you think they've been too quiet these days?"
Hearing this, Joshua straightened his back a little bit, and his face became a little more serious, "I wouldn't have noticed if you hadn't said it.Apart from the occasional movement in the western suburbs of Austos City, there's nothing else going on."
"It's strange."
August's eyes darkened a little and he said, "It must be a diversion.It's a trick they've always played."
"I understand.I'll ask Bond to keep an eye on them when I go back."
The two talked for a while and had a few glasses of wine.
Joshua saw that August had emptied half of the bottle of red wine, and couldn't help but tease him, "Why's wrong with you today? After drinking so much, are you not afraid of being cross-examined by your fiancée?"
A dim light flashed in August's eyes, and he smiled lightly, "I'm not living with Jeanne."
Joshua blinked slightly, and he asked, "Are you still thinking about..."
"What?"
August turned his head sharply and met Joshua's gaze.
Joshua smiled and didn't continue, "Nothing."
Unknowingly, it was getting late.
The two of them drank a lot of wine and uncommonly talked about a lot of topics that they didn't usually talk about.
As for August's abnormality, Joshua saw it but didn't talk about it.
Just when August went to the bathroom, the phone he put on the table started ringing again.
Joshua looked up, glanced at the caller ID on the screen, and couldn't help smiling.
Over the past hour, Jeanne had called August many times, but he didn't answer.
Joshua hesitated for a moment.
Then he picked up the phone and pressed the answer button.
Soon, he heard a woman's anxious voice, "August, where are you? I'm waiting for you at the villa.Why haven't you come back yet?"
Joshua laughed out loud, "Are you checking on him before you even get married? Is it appropriate?"
Jeanne was stunned and quickly asked, "Who are you?"
"I am his friend."
"Where is August now?"
Joshua said lightly, "We're having a drink at Perfect Fortune.Don't worry.He'll go back soon."
With that, he hung up the phone directly.
It just so happened that August came out of the bathroom.
Joshua raised the phone in his hand at him and joked, "I answered the call for you.She wouldn't call again in a while.Would you like to call me back?"
August glanced at him coldly with sharp eyes and said, "Don't touch my phone next time." Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
"Okay, okay, I won't touch it."
Joshua smiled and put his phone back in place.
At this moment, Jeanne, who was far away in the villa, was holding her mobile phone and was on the verge of going crazy.
She was standing in the living room with clenched fists.She was very angry, but this was August's villa after all.She resisted it because it was inappropriate for her to lose her temper here.She walked out of the villa and walked to the door.She couldn't help the anger in her heart, and went straight into the car, "Mark! Go to the Perfect Fortune!"
Mark was stunned.
Looking at her angry face, he asked, "Miss, aren't you going to wait for August?"
Jeanne was furious and said, "He's at the Perfect Fortune!"
Everyone in Austos City knew what the Perfect Fortune was like.
As long as there was demand and money, there would be the best services and transactions.
When she thought that August would rather stay in that kind of place until midnight than come back home to see her, she was about to lose her temper.
Mark saw the reason why Jeanne was angry and persuaded, "Maybe, he is just socializing."
Jeanne gritted her teeth and said, "I specifically checked his itinerary today and made sure he wouldn't see anyone else for business tonight.So I went to the villa to cook for him! I didn't expect to see him stay outside until now!"
"And we've only been engaged for three days, and he couldn't wait to go to that kind of place.It's insulting to me!"
"Drive right away! I'm going to have a look and see what he's doing at the Perfect Fortune?!"
Jeanne was on the verge of a nervous breakdown.
On the contrary, Mark was much calmer than her.
"Ms.Kelly, I can take you there, but you must know that once you run over and check on August as if he's with another woman, you can't go back to the way you were."
Jeanne was startled when she heard his words, and her face turned pale.She had been too angry to think of it at all.
If she went to see August, it would show her distrust of him.
It would not only disgrace him in front of his friend but make her a joke in the Austos City’s socialite circle.
More importantly, August would be disappointed with her behavior and felt that she was inconsiderate and intolerant.
As a result, there would be a gap between her and August.
In comparison, it was clear what was more important.
Jeanne gritted her teeth, resisted the anger in her heart, and restrained herself for a long time.
Only then did she slowly regain some sense and she said, "Well, what should I do?"
"Wait."
Mark blinked and said, "Now you can only wait for him to come back."
After a moment of silence, Jeanne took a deep breath and slowly thought it through.
She nodded and said, "You're right.I'll wait for him to come back! No matter how late!"
She was going to make August feel guilty about her.
Only in this way could she win his heart! Back in the living room, Jeanne talked to the maids in the villa, and then sat in the living room and waited for August to come back.She didn't know how long she waited.
The headlights in the villa hall were all turned off, leaving only a floor lamp next to the coffee table.
Jeanne was drowsy and almost fell asleep several times.
Suddenly, there came a clicking sound, and the door of the villa was pushed open.
Jeanne shuddered, got up immediately, looked in the direction of the door, and saw a tall black figure.
Her heart trembled.
She quickly walked over there and said, "August..."
After taking two steps, she slipped and fell to the ground unexpectedly perhaps because she was too anxious.
August heard the sound, frowned, turned on the light, and saw Jeanne on the ground.
August frowned, "Jeanne?"
He immediately stepped forward to help her up.
Jeanne had been waiting for this moment the whole night.
She jumped into August's arms and groaned, "Oh, August, it hurts..."
