Chapter 541 Deep Loneliness


    Just when she entered, she saw ady at the counter running towards her attentively with ambiguous


    look and pulling her to the counter.


    “What’s the matter?” Esther looked at them surprisingly who seemed to be nice to her.


    “Esther, that…” There were three women standing at the counter, the eldest woman among them,


    Brandy Tyson gritted her teeth and started to ask, “Is CEO strong?”


    Esther blinked her eyes, and she was startled, her mind shed back to the night. Her face was


    blushing but still she concealed her embarrassment quickly and then she asked them back, “Why do


    you all ask so?”


    Brandy swallowed her saliva. “Please tell us, we are really curious about it. See, it is published on the


    newspaper. It said that you are his woman. How is his skill of sex?”


    “The newspaper published this?” Esther was astounded, “Where is it?”


    Soon, someone gave her the newspaper. There was arge part on a page with the picture that Elijah


    Perry cing his hand on her waist at the car park and that picture was titled as ‘The Woman of Elijah


    Perry’.


    Esther’s head buzzed terribly. She was a little embarrassed. She looked at the newspaper and was


    stunnedpletely.


    “Esther, you are already his woman. Just tell us, how is his skill of sex?”


    Esther blushed and exined immediately, “It is just gossip, this is definitely a rumor. I don''t know. Just


    go and ask him if you want to know. I am going upstairs now!”


    The lobby in the morning was a bit noisy. Many people who rushed to work passed by. The sight


    projected from people around made Esther feel ufortable. The news had made her to be famous


    in thepany.


    She left in panic and there were a few people watching each other. “Is it really a scandal?”


    At Perry Charity.


    “Yeah! Esther, finally you reach here. Were you alright yesterday?” Lh ran over and grabbed Esther’s


    hand as soon as she saw her. “I was wrong yesterday, it’s all my fault. I shouldn''t do such a reckless


    thing! Ah, your forehead is injured!”


    “Lh, I''m alright and you''re too. That’s great!” Esther wrinkled her cute little nose. Her eyebrows and


    eyes became more active due to that expression.


    “You were really reckless yesterday. Hurry up, tell me how you jumped yesterday. I was really startled


    by your action!”


    “This is a long story; I will tell you slowlyter!” Esther was now worried about the scandal of her with


    Elijah. Did that mean that the wholepany had known about it? Uh! No! It was the whole country


    had known it, right?


    “By the way, the newspaper, do you read the newspaper? Did you really have something with the


    president?” Lh also went gossiping.


    “Uh! No, no!” Esther shook her head in a panic.


    Lh rolled her eyes andughed like a thief. “What are you afraid of? I won''t tell others. Is it the truth?


    Is he good in bed?”


    “Lh!” Why even Lh asked this! “We are not in that kind of rtionship that you are thinking we are!


    Really!”


    “Oh! What do we think?” A man’s voice came suddenly.


    Esther and Lh turned at the same time. Both of them saw Ethel leaning against the door of the office,


    looking at Esther with a pair of peachy eyes, “Good morning, pretties!”


    “Ethel, good morning!” Esther became serious immediately. She didn''t forget the thing that Lh told


    her which was to stay away from that man. Furthermore, she saw him taking off a woman’s clothes in


    the hotelst night. If she hadn''t jumped down, the woman would have been scammed by him early.


    Thus, it could be seen that he was really that simply!


    “Why are youing to work? Don''t you onlye once a week?” Lh looked at Ethel in surprise.


    Ethel smiled treacherously. “I remember that Esther went back with CEO yesterday, right? There is


    such news published on today''s newspapers. It is for sure that I can''t miss this good show.”


    “I think you just have nothing to do?” Lh nced at him. “You areing at the right time. This


    fundraising is really too embarrassing. Esther and I were almost ruined. This is obviously not for charity


    but for sale. Please tell CEO, if Perry Group can''t get the funds in the future he could just close the


    company, I won''t bring Esther to raise money anymore!”


    “No problem! I''m also looking for him now!” Ethel smiled and talked to the two of them, “What if we go


    to the top floor together and talk to CEO?”


    “I''m not going!” Esther shook her head immediately.


    Ethel and Lh looked at her at the same time. “Don’t tell me that that’s really something between you


    and CEO?”


    “I had already said no!” Esther denied. “Reporting on work is your business, I am just nothing and have


    not reached that level!”


    Ethel smiled faintly with a yful look in his eyes.


    “I haven’t reached that level too, just go by yourself!”


    “Then you all just wait for the news. It was really thrilling yesterday. She was a super girl who was just


    like Superman!” Ethel blinked at Esther and turned to go upstairs.


    *************


    Wearing ssic ck shirt and ck suit trousers and standing in front of the French windows, he


    looked particrly depressed and lonely. The news in the newspaper made his eyebrows wrinkled.


    “CEO, Ethel is here!”


    “Come in!” Elijah turned around and he saw Ethel walking in.


    “Hey, Elijah, good morning!” Ethel entered his office and simply sat on the sofa.


    Elijah Perry nced at him quietly. “Say your thing!”


    “I have nothing to tell you!”


    “Go home if you have nothing to do!”


    “Do you really like the little rabbit?” Ethel started his word with his smiley face.


    “You''d better be careful; the old man is about to hand over the family business to your elder brother.


    How can you stillugh?” Elijah reminded him kindly in a cold voice.


    “I didn''t intend to participate in their family''s affairs. Let’s talk about you, the news in this newspaper


    seems to be real! And the little rabbit refused toe up to meet you just now, do you guys really have


    something?”


    “She came to work?” Elijah frowned slightly.


    “Yes!” Ethel blinked and smiled treacherously of a sudden. “Elijah, don''t you really have a special


    preference for that little rabbit, do you?”


    No matter what he said, Elijah just took out his phone and called Esther.


    Ethel was stunned for a while. From Elijah’s expression, it seemed that he really cared of her and it


    was not that simple between them. Ethel had felt strange when Elijah appeared in Y Hotel suddenly


    last night.


    Elijah’s looked angry but he hid it perfectly. The call went through and Esther picked up the phone.


    This is from N?velDrama.Org.


    “Didn''t I tell you not to go to work?” She was disobedient.


    Esther was taken aback, “Why are you calling me?”


    “Go back now!” Elijah shouted coldly and then he hung up the phone.


    Esther looked at the phone. She frowned and whispered, “What? Do I have to do as you say?”


    “Esther?” Lh pointed to her phone with a surprised expression. She seemed unbelievable, “This, this


    call is from Elijah?”


    “Hmm!” Esther had not realized the situation at that moment and so she nodded casually.


    “Oh my God, you just said there is nothing between both of you. If it really does, I am really old-eyed!”


    Lh sighed and shook her head. Then, she mmed Esther on her shoulder ambiguously. “Hey! Will


    Elijah Perry really be with a woman? Isn''t he gay?”


    When Esther heard that Lh had linked herself with Elijah again and she knew that both Ethel and


    Lh were people who like to join in the fun, she was blushing in embarrassment but still she gave the


    answer immediately, “Lh, he is a gay! And he is the bottom. I will call him sister when we are not in


    public!”


    “Oh My God!” Lh was frozen for a moment. “Really? Really gay?”


    “Yes!” Esther nodded indiscriminately, not daring to look Lh in her eyes as she was afraid that Lh


    would discover that she was lying.


    Lh seemed to believe it a little bit. “Oh my God, no wonder he hasn''t had a rumored girlfriend over


    the years. It turns out that he is a gay, Jesus Christ! But it''s impossible? He looked like the one staying


    at the top ording to his figure, how can he agree to stay at the bottom?”


    “Lh, don''t tell anyone!” Esther didn''t want Elijah to know that she was ndering him like that at the


    back.


    “Don''t worry, I won''t say it!” Lh promised her seriously. “Let''s go, we go to the orphanage to give the


    check first!”


    ********************


    At Ball Group.


    A slender figure stood by the window, holding a newspaper in his hand. A corner of the newspaper was


    scratched by a strong hand as there was too much forced applied on it. How many times he had


    imagined standing by her side and imagined that there would be a day that she belonged to him, he


    would spoil her with his love for all his life, loved her for all his life, but—


    The hand that held the corner of the newspaper tightened suddenly and his eyes were stained with


    pain and grief. But now he was the one who hurt her the most and lost her by himself! He pushed her


    to the other men by himself.


    Thinking of this, he threw the newspaper on the table and picked up his suit. Then, he turned and left


    the office.


    As soon as the door was opened, he saw Winnie who was smiling gently and looking at him.


    “Hudson, are you going out?” She was holding a bowl of soup. He was working overtimest night and


    didn''t go back all night, so she delivered the soup for him early in the morning.


    “Yes!” Hudson walked away without even looking at her.


    “Hudson, can you drink the soup before going out?” Winnie tried to maintain her smile and demeanor.


    However, Hudson just left without saying a word.


    Winnie bit her lip with tears shing in her eyes. Then, she raised her head and forced her tears back.


    When she entered his office, her gaze fell on the pinched corner of the crumpled and obscure


    newspaper. The tears that she barely held back just now, were finally dripping and flushing down…


    Esther and Lh had just left Perry Group. Then, they saw a red Ferrari parking at the side of the


    building from a distance. Esther recognized that it was her birthday gift from Hudson but she thought


    that Lance drove it awayst time.


    By the time she was in a daze, she saw Hudson getting off the car. Esther was stunned. There was a


    trace of pain in her eyes when she thought of the words on the phone that day. She just pretended that


    she hadn''t seen him.


    However, her heart was already in mess. Hudson had lost weight. She had not seen him for a few days


    and he looked so thin and exhausted.


    She told herself not to look at him but still her sights were uncontroble and looked over. Both of their


    sights intersected. In the blink of an eye, lots of things had happened. His sight was filled with pain and


    despair when he looked at her.


    Lh noticed Hudson. “Huh? Isn''t that Hudson? Why did hee here?”


    “Let''s go, Lh!” Esther said hurriedly, she didn''t want to meet Hudson anymore, she didn''t want to hurt


    Winnie, nor did she want to affect their happy lives.


    However, Hudson eyes were fixed on her. He strode over with his cold face. He was still in a ck suit


    and his cold facial features were still full of loneliness.
