Chapter 55 The Repeatedly Mentioned Past
Chapter 55 The Repeatedly Mentioned Past
Life was just like a drama. You never knew when your life would come to an end, and when it would restart a new drama.
And most of the time, this drama was often improvised.
Vann denied my assumption, but he didn't tell me the reason for the call.
"Your father didn't break the law. I'm glad to see you today. I won't disturb your rest. If you need any help, you can call me. This is my private number."
After the phone was hung up, I saved Vann's number, but I was not sleepy any more.
"Xeon, Jacen, have already become two code names in my life. They have no meaning to me."
The next morning, I went to work on time.
Lucy arranged a desk for me to rest at. I finally had my own place to rest. There were many other artists in the company, and some of them look familiar to me.
But those who stay in the ordinary area like me were newcomers with little fame.
Unlike ordinary employees, we don't have anything to do or work. There is a magazine or column in the company that is related to the company's business and their stars. You can look through it whenever you have time, so it became a tool for me to kill time.
Fortunately, in the afternoon, Lucy thought of me and gave me a document. She said that it was the materials of the factories and the ideas of this advertising show needed. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
When Lucy gave the document to me, several of young ladies looked at me enviously.
"You are so lucky. You just came here and there was an advertisement waiting for you, not like us. We only took part in a business show held by our company."
I know the document in my hand must be the one Rosie has introduced to me. Otherwise, I wouldn't have the luck to get the document.
I could only smiled in front of them.
When Lucy left, she reminded me to go home and get an idea of how to act. The shooting time was tight, so I should finish it in a couple of days.
The document was simple. A commercial of a real estate company only put on local TV stations.
My lines were simple, too. "Give you a lifetime commitment. Peace of mind for your family. "
I really like the words "Peace of mind for your family".
According to the set, another male model was also taken with me.
I left the company after work and went to the nearest bus station as usual. But as soon as I arrived at the bus station, a car stopped.
It looked familiar.
The car window was rolled down. Vann's head was exposed. "Hey, you just sat on it yesterday, you forget it?"
"Mr. Van?"
"Get in the car."
Seeing that the bus was about to enter the station, I didn't dare to stay any longer but get on the bus first.
Vann smiled and asked, "is it because my car is so common that you can't remember it?"
"No, I'm not sensitive to numbers, so I can't remember the car number."
"What a coincidence! I met you again here," said Vann, who was driving carefully
"My department is on the street over there. If there is no need to send police, I will off duty at this time. How about you? You work here too? "
I pointed at an office building through the car window and replied, "I work there, at the XinYu Media."
"Wow, you work there. Are you a star?"
I couldn't help but laugh at myself. Because Vann is very casual, I felt at ease when I talked to him.
"Have you ever known me, a 'star'? Have you ever seen any star who doesn't take a private car, and only take a bus like me? "
"What did you do in there?"
"I'm going to pick up some commercials, company ads or something like that."
Vann nodded, "Oh, I see."
"Mr. Van's home isn't on the same way, is it? I don't want to bother you to drive me home all the time. Put me down and I can walk myself. "
"It's not a big deal. Please don't mind."
But Vann didn't seem to drop me off the way. He paused for a while before he looked at me and said, "I'm sorry about that yesterday. I didn't notice that it was very late when I was on the phone."
As a matter of fact, the call with Vann yesterday came to an end without any reason and it really confused me a lot. I didn't know if it was appropriate for me to talk about it with him. But since he talked to me first, I wanted to continue the conversation.
"How do you know my family, Mr. Van?"
Vann seemed to be perfunctory with a smile. He pointed at his chest and said, "who am I? Policewoman. It's a piece of cake for me to know about the household register information. "
"Then Mr. Van called me that late at night to check if the information on the computer is correct?"
As the light turned red in front of us, Vann stopped the car and pointed at me with his finger. "I saw your suspicion of me in your eyes, and you must be wondering why I called you. Do I have any purpose?"
When we were talking, the traffic lights turned green. Instead of answering my question, Vann asked, "what would you think if I were not a police and the one who asked you these questions was Robbie?"
"You will think that Robbie only want to know more about your family, won't you? As a matter of fact, you can just take me as an ordinary friend instead of my career. But I'm a person who can make use of my position and know more about you. "
But there was still some doubt, "is that really all?"
"How complicated do you think?"
I didn't look at Vann anymore. I looked at the gate of the community, "I still think something's wrong."
But I also knew clearly in my heart that even if there is really some reason, if Vann doesn't want to tell me, I can't do anything about it.
I thanked Vann for sending me back and thought he would turn around and leave. I didn't expect that he would follow me into the community after he parked the car.
I looked strangely at Vann, who was following me, while he grinned. "The power was off in my house today. Can I have dinner with you? It's okay if it's just a common meal. If you don't know how to cook, I can do it. "
"You saved my life, and you're Spencer's friend. If you want, just come."
Hearing that, Vann quickened his steps and walked with me.
"You said your father eloped with someone on the phone yesterday. Do you know whom he eloped with?"
"I don't know. I was too young at that time. My mother never mentioned it."
"How have you lived all these years?"
"It was a bad memory and I don't want to mention it anymore."
I pressed the elevator button, and Vann followed me. I watched at the elevator went up, trying not to think about what happened in the past.
When the elevator door opened, Vann couldn't help but ask, "have you ever seen your brother these years?"
