Chapter 341 Drifting Apart


    Vincent exined with a stiff voice, “If it''s true, I''m sorry. Pippa wasn''t doing too wellst night!”


    “Understood!” Le nodded. She then pulled open the door, and pointed at the door. “Please leave!”


    She had not slept all night, and now she just wanted to catch up on her sleep!


    Vincent’s face froze and he sulked, “Are you driving me away?”


    “Yes!”


    “Where did you gost night?” His ck eyes glowed with a cold light, and his tone became cold, “Why


    wouldn’t you knock on the door after I close it?”


    Le stood in the doorway and remain silent. ‘What’s the point of knocking the door’ She thought to


    herself. To continue watching him ignoring herself? Would she still have dignity after that? She did not


    exin anything and just replied, “I do not want to talk, I’m tired!”


    “You stupid woman!” Vincent yelled, not sure if he was annoyed with himself for ignoring her, or with


    her attitude. It might even be both!


    Le pursed her lips! Yes, she was stupid! Very stupid!


    “Le, as the matter of fact, Pippa... I''m worried that she…”


    “You don''t need to exin to me!” Le coldly interrupted Vincent, not letting him continue to talk and


    replied indifferently, “It’s your business, and I don''t want to know. Please leave!”


    Vincent was stunned. He pursed his lips and stopped talking, and the air flowed with a scary aura of


    silence.


    Aftering back to reality….


    The deep, dark pupils of his eyes narrowed down for a while; aplex mixture of feelings could be


    seen though his eyes as he looked at Le’s stubborn little face. She bit her lips while stubbornly


    ring at him, a thinyer of mist could be seen covering her big eyes.


    Vincent’s heart felt a vicious throbbing pain, a pain that came so suddenly.


    Last night, he actually locked her out?!


    Then, he gave her a stare in the eyes and stride away.


    Le stood at the door. After a long time, as she finally closed the door, her eyes suddenly became


    blurry. She reached out her hands and wiped away some tears from her eyes.


    After a knock on the door was heard, Le took a deep breath, thinking that he was back. She let out a


    sigh and started feeling bad for him. However, after opening the door, she was disappointed as she did


    not expect to see a locksmith, who was standing there and asked her, “Miss, do you want me to pick


    any locks?”


    “No, I want to change the lock on this door! Please help me change it!” Le said softly.


    Vincent wandered aimlessly through the streets in his car, his eyebrows frowning slightly as he took out


    his phone and pressed a certain number. The phone only rang twice and was immediately picked up.


    “Vincent!” A soft female voice came from the other end of the phone.


    “Is everything okay?” Vincent asked in a soft voice.


    “It''s fine, thank you for everything you didst night!”


    “Pippa, I hope, when you face any problems, you can be strong. Do not repeat what you didst time,


    you still have to take care of Owen! If you really were to die, what can he do?”


    “I know! I will be strong!”


    “I''ll pick you up, let''s have dinner together!”


    “Sure!”


    “Be there in fifteen minutes.” He whispered and hung up the phone while steeping his foot on the pedal.


    After eating breakfast with Pippa, Vincent asked Manager Billy from the HJ Hotel to send the image


    data from the entrance of Pippa’s exclusive suitest night. As he sat in his office, he started looking at


    the screen. He saw at the moment the door opened, Vincent walked into the door with his arm around


    Pippa, and he closed the door while locking Le out in an instant, she was dumbfounded!


    His heart, suddenly felt a pain.


    So, it really was he who closed the door. Although he did it with no intentions, she was still locked


    outside. Although there was only a door between them, she was still locked outside. He suddenly


    remembered that she said, they were like two stars, separated by a few light years of distance!


    Thinking about it made his heart felt even more pain!


    After the time in the video tape passed for about half an hour, Le was still standing at the door, no


    movement could be seen as she still continued standing at the door, as if she was stubbornly waiting


    for him to open the door. However, after another half an hour passed, the door still did not open. He


    seemed to see her letting out a sigh as she slowly turned back and left.


    Standing in the long corridor, she looked extraordinarily lonely. She was stubbornly standing still. Her


    small hands had clenched into fists, but she did not knock on the door. Her stubborn figure really made


    him felt sad for her.


    The door of the president''s room was pushed open.


    As Arthur walked in, Vincent quickly turned off the video and looked up at him.


    “What the hell is wrong with you? Didn''t you say you were on vacation? Why didn''t you go? Where is


    Le? Where did you take Le?” Arthur entered the door and asked a series of questions.


    As Vincent sat on the luxurious swivel chair, he remained silent. Then, he looked at the stock market


    chart on the screen and frowned, “The stock seems to be climbing a bit fast!”


    “Don’t change the topic” Arthur banged on the table. “Tell me, what is going on?”


    “Why are you so concerned about me and Le?” Vincent’s voice also turned deep, revealing that he


    was getting a bit impatient. He was already annoyed, and the fact that he had locked Le outside was


    annoying enough. After being questioned by him, he felt even more annoyed!


    “What do you mean caring about you and her?” Arthur sat down in front of him. “You’re wrong, I just


    care about Le! Not you. You don''t deserve my care!”


    Vincent frowned and finally went silent for a long time. Seeing that Arthur seemed to be angry, he said


    unhurriedly, “Pippa encountered something, and I had toe back.”


    “What happened to her?”


    “Beaten by that man!” Vincent said in a deep voice.


    “Ah! So that''s it, damn, is that Japanese person really a man? So, because of that, you brought Le


    back from City R?” Arthur frowned and seemed to understand something. “You''re worried that Pippa


    cannot think straight?”


    “Yeah!” After he nodded, Vincent rubbed his eyebrow and took another look at thepany''s stock


    chart, “The rise in our stock these few days are fast, abnormally fast. It seems like there is someone


    behind the scenes manipting something.”


    “You mean someone is buying our stock?” Arthur also walked over to look at the screen.


    Both of them stopped mentioning Le for a while and both focused their attention on the screen. Both


    of them were gradually frowning, Vincent’s expression looked frustrated as he spoke in a cold tone, “It


    seems that someone is really buying our shares, and inrge numbers!”


    Just at this moment, ra knocked on the door and walked in.


    “President, this is the overall operating statement of the group for thest month, please take a look at


    it.” ra handed over the folder with a somewhat nervous look.


    Vincent took the report and noticed ra’s serious expression and guessed that there might be


    something wrong with the report. He opened the folder and carefully reviewed it item by item, while


    Arthur sat back on his chair. Vincent then asked in a deep voice: “Who is responsible for this report?”


    “It''s Mr. Hawkins, head of the finance office.” ra answered carefully.


    “Ask him toe here. I want to understand the whole situation!” Vincent raised his voice, implying


    anger in him.


    Although this report was handled extremely smartly and looked fine, but if you paid close attention,


    something fishy could be noticed. Since Levi has always been a sophisticated and prudent


    businessman, how could he make such a rookie mistake? Was it Levi’s negligence, or was there


    another reason?


    “Vincent, I''ll go investigate the matter about the stocks!” Arthur stood up, turned around and walked out.


    As he arrived at the door, he said, “Yesterday, Le was alone in the streets, with no money and no key


    in her possession, did you know?”


    This text is property of N?/velD/rama.Org.


    Vincent’s eyes narrowed as he looked at Arthur.


    He said again, “I took her to my ce and sent her back in the morning!”


    Vincent was stunned again; sadness could be seen in his eyes. After remaining silent for a while, he


    said, “Thank you!”


    “She''s really a pitiful woman!” Arthur added. “Don''t hurt her, and don''t let her be like Pippa back in the


    day.”


    The hand that was holding the pen tightened fiercely and the pen broke with a sound. Vincent’s heart


    throbbed painfully and he fell silent.


    Arthur walked out.


    Le slept until the afternoon when she received a call from Renee asking her to go shopping.


    Thinking that she had not seen Renee for a long time, Le agreed. It was already five pm when she


    left home.


    When they met, Renee squealed and ran over to hug Le. “Ah... girl, I haven''t seen you for many


    days, and I missed you so much! Did you miss me?”


    Le smiled softly and nodded her head. “I did miss you!”


    “Come on, let me treat you to dinner. What are we going to eat? Wait! I''ll ask Callum toe too and


    let him to pay the bill while we have a nice meal. After that, we should go shopping when we''re full as


    we can digest our food as we shop. How about that?”


    Le thought about Callum and Renee being frenemies. She also thought that Renee must have a


    secret crush on Callum. So, she nodded her head and said, “Yes!”


    She wanted to create opportunities for them!


    So, Renee called Callum and asked him to meet them at the HH Restaurant. At first Callum did not


    want toe, but then when he heard that Le was also there, Callum immediately left.


    “It seems that Le has a better reputation then me, and you just would note if she was not here?”


    As soon as they met, Renee started making sarcastic remarks at him.


    Callum continued ignoring her and smiled at Le, “Le, it''s been a long time, I didn''t expect you to be


    Mrs. Vincent!”


    As he mentioned Vincent, Le lost focus and just gave a smile.


    Seeing that she did not say anything, Renee asked, “What''s wrong? Is everything between you and


    Vincent alright?”


    “Yes! We''re fine!” When she was outside, she wanted to maintain a good image. For her own sake, for


    the Hunter family''s sake, and for Vincent’s sake.


    Thest time they ate here, they met up with Vincent and Pippa. They surprisingly met this time as


    well. Soon after they sat down, they saw two figures walk through the door, Pippa who was dressed in


    white, and Vincent who was in a ck suit.


    It seemed that this encounter, again, was like something that happened in a drama. Le sighed.


    Although she did not want to see him, but they still met. What a twist of fate.


    “Ah! There is no way! Why did we encounter your husband again?” Renee asked Le with a frown,


    and asked again the moment she saw Pippa, “By the way, who is that woman? Howe I often see


    her with Vincent?”


    Le pulled the corner of her lips, smiled lightly and did not say anything. As her eyes took a ze over


    the two people who walked through the door, she picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip, but


    she coughed violently because it was too hot.


    “Ah! Is it hot?” Renee asked with a squeal.


    “No, it''s fine!” Le shook her head.


    Vincent and Pippa did not see Le at first, but Renee’s voice drew both of their eyes over. When they


    saw Le, Pippa was slightly surprised and looked sideways. “Vincent, Le is also here! Let''s go over


    and sit together.”


    Vincent saw Le sitting with Callum and Renee. There was no expression in his eyes. He just nodded


    and walked over with Pippa. When they stood in front of the three of them at the table, Pippa smiled


    and spoke, “Such a coincidence, can we have a meal together?!”


    Le did not know what to do.


    Renee froze and stood up; Hostility could be seen in her eyes as she looked at Pippa. “Miss, who are


    you? Oh! No! What’s your rtionship with President Vincent?”


    After being questioned by Renee, Pippa was stunned for a while. However, she quickly showed an


    elegant smile as she looked at Le. She raised her eyebrows and asked with a smile, “Aren''t I


    wee?”
