Hour Chase

More awake than when I first woke up, awake enough to send an email.It seems that my brain has not been damaged by the previous behavior.

"It's back again, and I'm really worried."

After much deliberation, Karen decided to apply to Neil for a week's vacation, so that she would have time to do some things she wanted to do.

Those things that I can't let go of.

It was the weekend, and everyone in the company was busy with their business, leaving only Ellie and David in the company.

Originally, I should have a good night's sleep, but unfortunately, this idea turned into a luxury in the end.

"It's Christmas next month, and it's time for you to tidy up your room Ellie."

Just such an unexpected sentence made Ellie wake up early in the morning, and started to do housework with disheveled hair.

Obviously it's next month... Ellie muttered helplessly in her heart, but her body still moved.

Although she is a girl, the room is so simple that she doesn't think of a girl's room at all.

Of course, simplicity has its advantages.At least, every time you just wipe the dust, you can solve the hygiene problem.

Except for the dirty clothes thrown on the chair last night that need to be thrown into the washing machine for a good roll, there is no large garbage that can be found with the naked eye, such as paper scraps.

Following David's instructions, Ellie still took a rag and wiped it symbolically on the desk.

The wooden table tops have clear patterns and are spotless.

The table was empty, except for a few ballpoint pens that were almost used.

Usually, I don't like reading very much, so books and the like never appear on the table.

In addition to the desktop, other drawers are also within the scope of finishing.

There are four drawers in total, three of which are clean.

The only drawer that was locked caught Ellie's attention.

He took out the key chain from the coat pocket hanging on the hanger, and searched for a key that would match this lock.

In the end, the target was locked on a small copper key.

Insert the key into the lock, and sure enough, it can be fully inserted.

Although the lock came off perfectly, Ellie was a little confused when the drawer was opened.

There is only one train ticket in the drawer.

"The departure time is... two days later on the 4th. Destination, Leicestershire?"

After calmly observing the unknown ticket, Ellie made sure that she hadn't bought it before, and walked towards David's room with it.

"Finished cleaning?"

David was looking at the newspaper, and when he saw Ellie coming over, he put the newspaper down.

"Almost. By the way, who bought this ticket?"

"ticket?"

David took the ticket from Ellie and looked at it carefully.

"I don't remember anyone buying a ticket lately. Did you buy it, Ellie?"

"Me? No... I didn't buy it."

The two looked at the ticket for a while, and suddenly, David's hearty smile shocked Ellie.

"Hey, you kid! If you want to take a vacation, just report to me directly. Well! There are many pastures there, you can have fun."

"Have a holiday?!"

Ellie was surprised by the vacation that suddenly fell on her head, but after all, this matter has not been clarified yet, even if there is a vacation, she can't just go on vacation in such a muddle.

"Look, you've even chosen your date... Forget it, you don't have to worry about the company's affairs. If you want to play, just go."

"But... I really didn't buy this ticket! It's just lying in my drawer... I don't know anything!"

David returned the ticket to Ellie, telling Ellie not to worry about it, and to prepare for the trip, while continuing to read the newspaper.

Back in the room, Allie was curious about the ticket.

If you really bought it yourself, why did you lock it up again...

After re-examining it, the destination above is a place I have never been to.

In other words, apart from London, I have never traveled far.

But now, since she found the ticket, Ellie had to accept it.It's just... Whether you really want to go, that's your own freedom.

Although the price of the ticket is not cheap, it was obtained by accident after all. Even if it was wasted, God can't blame himself.

Thinking of this, Ellie decided to put away the ticket again, and still locked the drawer.

Near the end of the year, the company's performance can remain stable, of course, the efforts of the employees are indispensable.

Neil was sitting alone in the office, one data report after another on the computer screen, but he couldn't bear to read it.

This time is really embarrassing.Everyone is looking forward to a good ending this year, but unfortunately, this wish has nothing to do with me.

Although the lace news on TV has been calmed down by the power of the family, there are always some things that cannot be handled by the same means.

I am not blind, and I know how those seemingly elite employees outside the door use their own affairs as jokes after dinner, and I know it well.

Naturally, their mouths cannot be blocked, and there is nothing they can do about it.

"President."

The assistant secretary stood at the door, maintaining a knocking posture.

"I just received a call from the chairman, asking you to go back immediately, there is something important."

"okay, I get it."

It doesn't matter whether you go back or stay in the company, you just stare at the computer in a daze.

Although he didn't know what important things he couldn't call himself directly, Neil still packed his clothes and drove home.

When he got home, Neil caught a glimpse of a vehicle in the garage that didn't belong to him.A dark blue family car naturally has no luxury of its own.

Butler Robert opened the door and whispered to himself.

"Master, sir, I'm a little unhappy today because of your affairs, please be careful with your words and deeds."

Neil didn't speak, but returned a understanding look.

Sure enough, when he saw his father in a suit talking to another man beside him, Neil suddenly realized the identity of that man.

Future father-in-law, Thomas Springs.

Treating him, Neil naturally didn't dare to be careless, and sat down with an absolutely respectful posture.

I thought the meeting between the two was about the cooperation of the company.However, when Thomas talked about his daughter, Francis, the father, was merciless and scolded Neil.

"I'm sorry to say it. I was supposed to bring Caroline with me, but she lost her temper yesterday and left London early this morning to go back to my mother's hometown to relax."

"It's us who should say sorry."

Francis turned his gaze to Neil and smiled slightly.

"I think it's a good choice to let the children relax at this time. Neil, should you say something?"

"I'm terribly sorry, Mr. Prince. I think I'll get another chance to explain it to Caroline."

Neil didn't dare to disobey his father. He knew his father's thoughts well and would never allow this perfect marriage to have any tendency to break down.

And now, even after explaining to the other party's father repeatedly, Neil has no idea whether the other party will believe him.

"I believe that with the reputation of the Adams family, my daughter will be treated fairly. It's just..."

"only?"

Thomas sighed helplessly, with distress written all over his face.

"So it is necessary for me to visit Mr. Adams in person today. Last night, Caroline explained to me that she wanted to break off her engagement with Neil."

For a moment, the expressions of the three people present were different.

Neil's unbelievable expression and Francis' serious expression showed dissatisfaction in his heart.

"I think Miss Caroline's decision must be very hasty, isn't it?"

"Father…"

After receiving the stern look from his father, Neil immediately shut up.

"Although it's not good to meddle in young people's affairs, if you let it go, it will definitely be a great loss to you and my family."

"I very much agree with what you said, Mr. Adams. Indeed, I also persuaded Caroline a few words. But... you also know that when the daughter grows up, the father's words are not very listenable."

"Then Mr. Prince, do you have any objections to my son's marriage to Miss Caroline?"

"No, I very much hope that Caroline can marry a young man like Neil."

Listening to the conversation between the two parents, Neil could only express his own opinion in his heart.

However, Neil is more familiar with his own father than Caroline's father opposite him.

From the conversation between the two, he accurately captured his father's overtones.

If Thomas opposed the marriage, his life would be threatened.

If it wasn't for his father's suspicion, Neil would definitely have reason to believe that Caroline's remorse was due to his father's will.

Unfortunately, even Caroline's father agreed to the marriage, but Caroline...

"I will continue to persuade her and hope she can change her mind."

"Hehe, it's okay for young people to be impulsive, just think clearly."

"Mr. Prince, if possible, can you let me see Caroline? I am also responsible for this matter, and I must make it clear in person."

"This...I'm afraid it won't work."

"Okay, Neil, don't you know how to give others some private space? Please leave this matter to Mr. Prince. I think the wedding can be held as scheduled, and your task is to prepare for the wedding, do you understand? .”

"Yes, father."

His father was already very displeased, and Neil knew what his father meant, that is, he must marry Caroline in ten days.Any of these unfavorable factors must be ruled out.

As long as there is no relationship with the Prince family for a day, it is unknown who will get their property.

This is the only way to seize it by non-violent means.

Not only Neil, but also Thomas, how could he take it lightly when facing the former underworld leader.

Blame only his spoiled daughter for the troubles brought to this marriage.

Sometimes, Thomas hopes that the people Caroline loves are just ordinary people.In this way, maybe it won't cause so many troubles.

It is obvious that the other party is the one who did the wrong thing, but his daughter is under unfair pressure.
