Chapter 762


    Covering his bleeding nose, Ruben Lawson stood up and red at the ignorant Vincent. "Why are


    you still standing there? Go and get me a kleenex!"


    Vincent snorted coldly, "What did you just say?"


    Under his gloomy gaze, Ruben shivered in fright and smiled apologetically. "Nothing. I''ll look for the


    kleenex myself."


    With that, he sneaked into the living room and muttered under his breath while looking for a


    kleenex, "I immediately got injured the minute I see him. He is indeed..."


    As if something crossed his mind, he didn''t blurt the word "cursed".


    "Ahem." After plugging his nose with a kleenex, Ruben looked around. "This apartment is pretty


    good and clean. Where''s the little maid? Why don''t I see her?"


    Vincent looked at him coldly. "What are you doing here?"


    "I came to see you." Sitting down and putting his legs up leisurely on the table, Ruben sized him up.


    "I came to see how long you intend to y this role-ying game."


    Vincent ignored him.


    "Hey, aren''t you afraid of being exposed?" Ruben asked curiously. "By the way, Howard is so stupid.


    You''ve been here twice. How can he not notice anything?"


    Ruben thought that Vincent was excellent in disguising himself since he coulde and go freely to


    another person''s house without being noticed.


    Raising his eyes slightly, Vincent exined, "I won''t confront him head-on, so he won''t find out."


    "But why did the maid never notice anything off about you? Yes, both of you do look alike, but your


    temperament ispletely different. Dr. Perkins is righteous and noble but your gloomy


    characteristic is horrifying."


    They were two people withpletely different personalities.


    It might be difficult to distinguish their appearance but it was hard to disguise one''s personality.


    No matter how simr their appearance was, personality was not something one could forge.


    As if thinking of something, Vincent curled his lips into a sinister smirk. "The little maid may look


    foolish, but she''s also quite brainy. I think she can tell the difference between me and Howard." "Did


    she know that you''re not Howard?" Ruben asked curiously.


    His question, however, invited a re from Vincent.


    "Judging from that response, I think she doesn''t know yet." On the other hand, Ruben was thinking,


    "He is so cunning and crafty."


    "By the way, it''s gettingte. Are you nning to stay here?" After thinking for a while, Ruben


    added, "Be careful in case Howardes out all of a sudden."


    "You go first," said Vincent in a low voice.


    "Okay." Ruben was still somewhat ill at ease. "Don''t dawdle though. Come out quickly."


    After that, he got up and was about to leave when suddenly, the door of the bedroom opened, and a


    figure came out followed by a curious voice, "Dr. Perkins, who are you talking to... Oh, do we have a


    guest tonight?"


    ine looked at the stranger who suddenly appeared.


    Ruben looked back at her.


    The two of them exchanged nces in silence.


    Finally, ine broke the silence by saying, "Hello, you must be Dr. Perkins'' colleagues, right?


    Please sit down. I''ll make you a cup of coffee."


    Ruben didn''t know whether to leave or not, so in the end, he sat down. Vincent cast his cold nce


    at him to which he whispered, "What''s with the stare? Look at her. I can''t possibly turn down her


    invitation, right?! Rx, I''ll leave after the coffee!"


    When ine was in the bedroom, she heard the voice in the living room which she assumed was


    from the TV, but the more she listened, the less it sounded like it came from the TV. Hence, she


    came out to have a look only to bump into a guest at home.


    Previously, Howard had invited some colleagues to his house, so she knew some of them.


    But she didn''t know this person.


    "Maybe he''s Dr. Perkins''s friend?" she thought.


    When she brought the coffee out, she saw that the guest was talking to Dr. Perkins, but they were


    whispering to each other that she couldn''t hear them clearly.


    "Here''s your coffee." She walked over and put the coffee on the table.


    Ruben immediately sat up straight and thanked her.


    "You''re wee." With a smile, she said, "Please take your time. I''ll..."


    "Oh, we''re done. Don''t go. Sit down and chat with us." Ruben didn''t want to let this interesting


    ytoy go.


    Surprised, ine subconsciously looked at Howard.


    Vincent massaged his nose and said, "Go back to your room first. He''s leaving soon."


    "Okay," ine replied.


    "What? No, it''s still early. Miss Jacob, ignore him. Let''s sit and talk."


    Ruben rolled his eyes at Vincent, pulled ine to sit next to him, and greeted with a smile, "Hi, I''m


    Ruben. Ruben Lawson."


    Surprised, ine asked, "H-How do you know my name?"


    "Yes, I found out..."


    "Ahem. Didn''t you say you''re thirsty? Here, have some coffee. It''s getting cold," Vincent interjected


    while locking his warning re at him.


    Ruben broke out in a cold sweat. Only then did he realize that he had almost spilled the beans.


    However, ine seemed to be very easy to be hoodwinked.


    Thus, Ruben cleared his throat and tried again, "Howard told me about you. He said that you are


    very capable and outstanding, and an excellent housekeeper. That''s how I know your name."


    "Oh."


    Ruben stared at her, panicked.


    What did she mean by ''oh'' anyway?


    Shouldn''t she say like "no wonder" or "That makes sense" instead of a simple "oh"?


    He felt even more panicked as she looked at him with her bright and sparkly eyes.


    Smiling awkwardly, Ruben took a sip of his coffee, and then his eyes lit up andplimented,


    "Wow, this is so nice! You must be using high-quality coffee beans!"


    "Oh... Thank you," ine blurted, puzzled.

    It was just an instant coffee. She tore the package, poured it into a mug, and added hot water into it.


    However, she felt that Ruben was a nice person topliment her.


    Howard asked her to pour a ss of water, and she hurried over.


    As soon as she left, Ruben spat, "D*mn, I almost spilled the beans. Could she have sensed


    anything from that?"


    Squinting at him, Vincent reassured, "Calm down. She''s not that smart."


    "B-But I don''t think she''s that dumb either. The way she looked at me just now scared the cr*p out of


    me."


    Vincent frowned, but before he could say anything, ine came out of the kitchen with a ss in


    her


    hand.


    With that, Ruben immediately shut up.


    Seeing that neither of them spoke, she asked curiously, "Mr. Lawson, are you a doctor too?"


    Ruben shook his head and exined, "No, I am his friend."


    ine tilted his head and uttered, "I''ve never seen you before. He has invited his friends here


    several times."


    "Uh, I just came back from abroad recently, so this is my first time visiting his ce."


    "Oh, I see."


    "Yes!" Holding the mug in his hand, there was a shift on Ruben''s expression when he squinted and


    asked, "Are you questioning me, Miss Jacob?"


    Startled, ine immediately waved her hand and stammered, "N- No, of course not! I didn''t mean


    that..."


    "Rx. I''m just kidding." Ruben grinned. "But you''re so charismatic just now as if you are thedy of


    the house. Nice!"
