Chapter 589 I Better Eat More
She held a few stones in her hand at once, and she threw them away one by one. She did it as though she was throwing her anger away.
Why was she even angry?
She knew that she was a few years older and not as good-looking as Yvonne even with makeup on. Sean was just stating the truth.
“How about I ask the makeup artist to teach you some techniques later?” Sean said.
Eli glanced at him and answered, “Why do I have to be so pretty for? My future husband would be worried if I were to attract unnecessary attention from those unnecessary people.”
Sean frowned. “Are you trying to upset me on purpose?”
“I have nothing to say to you since we are on different levels. It’s really difficult to communicate with each other when we don’t even get each other,” Eli said as she threw all the stones in her hand away. After that, she clapped her hands and said, “Are we leaving now?”
Sean held her hand tightly and said, “You know that I like making jokes. Are you upset because I said that you are ugly?”
Eli smiled and looked at him, “How could I be angry over such a trivial matter?”
“Why did you come out here alone then. Don’t you feel cold?”
“I didn’t want to interrupt your breakfast. I thought you said that you were disgusted by my look.”
“What kind of makeup is this? You really don’t look good in it,” Sean said and let go of her hand.
Eli chuckled. “You are the President, of course, you would want me to dress up beautifully so that I look pleasing to your eyes. However, I am your secretary. I am sure that I would attract a lot of unwanted attention if I were to dress up to be as beautiful as a peacock. All I want to do now is to be low-profile, the lower the better!”
“The fact that I am bringing you to that place meant that there won’t be any reporters there. So, don’t worry about our photographs being taken,” Sean explained.
“How about the parade? Aren’t they human? Wouldn’t they talk? Everyone around you could also be a risk to us. I am so tired of talking to you,” Eli turned away from him.
Sean hugged her from behind.
Eli panicked, then she straightened her back and said to him, “Buddy, how about the satellites?”
“I have already asked them to sabotage all the signals in the President’s Mansion, so the satellites wouldn’t be able to take any pictures.”
Eli was relieved for a while. After that, she looked at him and asked, “Why are you hugging me then? I thought that you feel disgusted just by seeing my face.”
“Didn’t you say that I would be worried? You did a good job,” he smiled and said.
Sean’s smile was really charming, and he was indeed one of the most handsome man in the world.
“When did I ever say that you would be worried?” Eli couldn’t seem to recall that she had said that.
Sean changed his expression and said, “You were talking about your future husband being worried. Why have you never considered to be my future wife?”
“Well…” Eli didn’t want to argue with him anymore, so she changed the topic, “Alright, is it time for us to go yet? Do you already have an itinerary for the parade?”
“Normally, my secretary would list out the events that I would need to attend into an itinerary, and then from that, he will make some amendments to make contingencies for urgent meetings. This parade is considered a non-urgent event, so it’s not such a big deal. Besides that, I have two meetings before lunch. You could just rest in my office while you wait,” Sean explained to her.
“Would I able to view the files of the soldiers during the parade?” Eli tried to ask him.
“I could let you access my database if you’d like to take a look at it. If I had guessed correctly, you’re looking for something from The Invisible, right?” Sean said to her directly.
Eli knew that she couldn’t hide it from him anymore, so she didn’t try to deny it. She nodded and said, “I saw the person who had murdered my mum the other day. It was the same person who wanted to kill me on the island. Jasper said that it was someone from The Invisible.”
“The Invisible is my personal organization, so the member’s profiles are not in the database. If you really want to view it, I will arrange it for you. Let me know once you find out who the murderer is. I won’t let him go,” Sean promised her.
Eli had a strange feeling and she felt burdened, “Wouldn’t others say that you are acting strangely simply because of me?”
Sean smiled and said, “It’s their responsibility to obey my command. If the person had really done it behind my back, he should be put to death then.”
The burden she had felt earlier was suddenly lifted off her shoulders. “When are we leaving?”
Sean held her hand, and both of them walked toward the villa, “After I have my breakfast.”
Eli withdrew her hand and said, “Okay.”
Sean held her hand again, and they went into the house together.
Eli felt that he was really childish.
Yvonne had already finished her breakfast by the time they were back, “Actually, I think that this makeup look is so unique. It’s very different from others,” Yvonne smiled and said to Eli.
“Right? That’s what I thought,” Eli smiled and answered.
“Could you help me to do that makeup look someday? I am quite interested in it.”
Eli whispered in Yvonne’s ear as she pointed a finger to Sean, “I should do one for him in the future.”
“Sure. I think that it would be very interesting,” Yvonne smiled and said.
Eli soon realized that Natasha wasn’t here today. That servant used to always follow Yvonne around.
Hence, she turned to Sean and asked him, “Did you really punish Natasha?”
“What do you think?” Sean glared at her and went to sit at the dining table, “Join me for breakfast.”
“I am already full,” she rejected him.
“We’ll be having late lunch today,” Sean reminded her.
“Alright, I will have some more food then,” Eli agreed without hesitation.
Yvonne pursed her lips and laughed. “You’re adorable.”
Eli felt a little embarrassed. She picked up a pancake and took a huge bite.
Sean immediately took a piece of tissue and wiped the crumbs on the corner of her lips away, “Do you still want that makeup to stay on your face? Can’t you just eat it slowly? Nobody is going to snatch it from you.”
“I developed this habit during my time in Jasper’s military training. We only had five minutes to eat, everything would be gone after that,” Eli complained.
“Yes, Jasper’s army was the most disciplined with the highest prestige and the best accomplishments. However, why did you go to his military site? Why didn’t you just stay at home and let your father protect you?” Sean asked lightly.
Disappointment flashed through Eli’s eyes.
She thought of her parents and Stella.
“I promised to join the military with Stella at that time. However, she went to the US shortly after I went into the military,” She shrugged and continued saying, “Maybe this is what you call destiny. I didn’t use to believe in it, but Stella did. So, I too believe in it now.”
She lost her appetite. She rubbed her belly, then put down her cutlery and said, “I’m really full. I feel like I have put on some weight ever since I came here.”All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.
“You look better with some extra weight.”
“Alright, Sean. Do you really dislike my appearance that much?” Eli glared at him.
“Not just your appearance, I am also not pleased with your intelligence,” Sean laughed and said.
“Why do you still like me even though there’s nothing good about me then?” Eli got annoyed by his constant teasing.
