Chapter 46 Changing Lover So Soon?
Aaron couldn't figure out why his grandmother was asking like this, so he didn't answer for a moment.
The next second, Grandma Abbott casually said, "I just had a video call with Susanna. She's still working late at Q.F. Studio. Don't you know to go pick her up?"
Aaron calmly took over the conversation. "I'll go later."
"Go now, there's traffic on the road. You can go nearby and have a meal before coming back."
"Grandma, I wanted to ask how you've been lately."
"I'm doing well. If you and Susanna have a baby soon for me to hold, I will be very happy. Go quickly and pick up Susanna, stop with all this nonsense. I get annoyed just seeing you!"
The call ended with a click.
Aaron let out a sigh, but seeing the old lady's energetic voice, he felt a little relieved.
He glanced at his watch, Susanna was still working late?
He grabbed his suit jacket and walked out briskly.
Q.F. Studio
Susanna sat alone in front of her computer, working on a design drawing. This client was a bit difficult to deal with. The design drawing she worked on during the day needed some modifications, but the other party was in a hurry for the renovation. She had to work overtime to finish the design and send it to them for review.
Everyone in the office had left, and she was the only one left here, working on the design drawing.
"Susanna, you're still working overtime?"
Susanna heard a voice and turned to see Dick walking in from outside. "Dick, what brings you here?"
"I came to get something and didn't expect to find you still here. Working so hard?"
"Well, it's for work. After I start school, I probably won't have as much time to come here."
Dick smiled. "I also have something to take care of. Let's leave together."
Susanna lowered her head and continued drawing, paying no attention to the gaze Dick cast her way. The man sat in the office chair, watching the woman work diligently.
An hour later, after Susanna sent the completed design drawing to the client, she rubbed her neck.
Her stomach made rumbling sounds, and the baby inside her womb began to protest.
Susanna gently touched her belly. "Sorry, baby, I will go eat now."
Dick walked over and placed a hand on her chair. "Finished drawing?"
"Yes, let's go."
Susanna got up from her chair and silently created some distance between them.
Dick retracted his hand, and they both took the elevator downstairs.
The voice of the Dick echoed in Susanna's ears. "Susanna, congratulations on being able to go back to school. If you ever encounter any difficulties in your life or at school, feel free to come find me."
The elevator was quiet, and Susanna smiled. "Thank you, but for now, I don't have any difficulties."
"I'm just saying if you do. Don't try to handle everything on your own. After all, I'm your senior and two years older than you. You can ask me for help."
Susanna's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and she calmly replied, "Thank you. No wonder Q.F. Studio is doing so well. It's because you is so caring."
Dick understood her meaning and quickly changed the topic. "It's late. I'll drive you home."
"No need, I'll take a taxi."
"You just said Q.F. Studio provides such good benefits. If I let you take a taxi home, wouldn't it tarnish the brand of Q.F. Studio? I'll drive you from the parking garage."
At this point, Susanna couldn't refuse. She stood by the roadside alone, waiting, but she saw a black Maybach drive by. The sleek and cold lines of the car made her face change slightly. She remembered that Aaron's vehicle was this kind of car!
It was late, and he probably wouldn't come to a place like this.
At this moment, Dick Dick's Mercedes drove out from the underground garage and stopped on her left. "Susanna, get in the car."
Susanna saw the Maybach also driving over and stopping on her right.
She held her breath and saw the outline of the driver's seat through the dark window, which looked familiar.
For a moment, Susanna was uncertain.
"Susanna, what are you dawdling for?"
Dick got out of the car and walked towards her. He also saw the Maybach on the side of the road, low-key and luxurious, outshining his Mercedes. The man felt a bit envious. "Susanna, do you like this car? When my company grows bigger, I'll buy one too and take you for a ride, how about that?"
She showed a hint of embarrassment and didn't know what to say.
At this time, the car window rolled down, revealing Aaron's noble and aloof face. His tone was steady. "Get in the car!"
When Susanna saw Aaron, she knew that her earlier guess was correct.
But what was he doing here?
She absolutely didn't believe that he would appear here randomly, let alone believe that he came to pick her up.
Dick looked very puzzled. "Susanna, do you know each other?"
Susanna was very embarrassed. "Dick, please go first."
Dick became very cautious. "Susanna, are you sure this is your friend? I'm a little worried, shall I take you home?"
When Aaron heard these words from the man, he directly wore a cold face and got out of the car. With his intimidating height, he exuded a sense of nobility in his deep-colored high-end suit.
He walked straight over, took a glance at Dick, and said to Susanna, "Grandmother asked me to pick you up."
Upon hearing "grandmother," Susanna knew why Aaron had come. It was because she had a video call with Grandma Abbott while working overtime, and Grandma Abbott knew she was working late, so she sent Aaron to pick her up.
Susanna looked up at Dick. "Dick, thank you anyway, someone came to pick me up."
Only then did Dick nod. "Alright, take care of yourself then."
Aaron pursed his lips, stared at the man as he drove away in the Mercedes, and then opened his mouth. "You're interested in a man who drives a Mercedes?"
Susanna rolled her eyes. "It's none of your business."
"So, the celebrity you dated last time dumped you? And you've already found a new target so quickly?"
"No, you're wrong. I have many lovers."
After saying that, she bent down and sat in the passenger seat, rolling down the window. "Please drive, thank you."
Aaron propped himself up on the car door and looked at her. "I'm not your driver."
"Then why are you here?"
"Grandma asked me to come."
"Didn't Grandma ask you to pick me up and drive me home? Why are you wasting time?"
Aaron pressed his tongue against his cheek. This woman had turned into a rose with thorns all over her body, pricking at him whenever he touched her!
He started to miss the previous Susanna, who was gentle and obedient.
He felt a bit unwilling. "You drive."
"Are you sure? With my driving skills, aren't you afraid I'll send you straight to heaven?"
Aaron went to the driver's seat and stepped on the gas pedal, speeding off.
Susanna grabbed the door handle anxiously. "Do you even know how to drive?"
The man replied earnestly, "Don't worry, I won't send you to heaven."
Susanna yawned and fell asleep. When she woke up, she saw a handsome face leaning close to hers.
Very close. She could almost feel Aaron's breath.
She widened her eyes, wondering what he was up to.
Was he trying to steal a kiss while she was asleep?
