Chapter 1170
When Winnie got home, the little ornaments she had bought online arrived.
She put down the clothes in her hands and went to set up the study.
Not long after, the doorbell rang again.
Winnie walked out and opened the door, and the courier outside handed her a slip: "Is this Ms. Truman, please sign for it."
She took the list and looked at it, it was the same store she and Aimee had shopped at before, "This isn't what I bought."
The courier said, "A Miss Thomas asked me to send this to you, she said it was a gift for you."
At these words, Winnie's face changed slightly.
The courier lifted a few more paper bags on the ground: "See if there are any problems with it, if not, you can sign for it."
Winnie handed him back the slip: "Please return it."
The courier has some difficulty: "This ......"
Winnie said, "Just tell her that I know what she means."
After the words, she closed the door directly.
Winnie stood still, leaning against the wall and frowning slightly.
Georgie was telling her that she could easily know where her family lived.
This gift is, shall we say, a reminder, or a warning.
After a while, Winnie exhaled and re-entered the study to continue what she hadn't done earlier.
Downstairs.
The courier relayed Winnie's words to Georgie as they were, and the corner of her lips curled, not too stupid.
Georgie turned to the driver and said, "Drive."
When she arrived at the hotel where Halle was staying, Georgie knocked on the door, "Auntie, I'm here."
Halle was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window wondering what she was thinking, when she heard her voice she raised her head and smiled, "Didn't you go shopping, so soon?"
Georgie took a few steps forward: "Met the actress, not in the mood for shopping."
"What, such a coincidence?"
Georgie nodded, looking slightly annoyed and probably not really wanting to bring it up, and asked, "Did you get your business done, Auntie?"
The expression on Halle's face wasn't too good when he mentioned this.
She heard that Winnie is an artist of Conrad Group, so she went to Conrad Group today to talk about her contract termination, but the staff of Conrad Group said that she could not enter without an appointment.
This matter seems to be more troublesome than she imagined.
Halle sat down in the sofa: "Not yet, it might take a little while."
Georgie also sat next to her and spoke unhurriedly: "Auntie, I know where the actress lives, what should I do now."
Halle retracted his thoughts: "This is not simple, looking for journalists, she does not want to climb up, fly up to become a phoenix, then let her dream broken in advance."
"But I don't want to involve Channing in this."
"It's not that simple. A woman like that must have had a lot of contact with men. It's a good way to let Channing know what kind of person she really is."
Georgie nodded thoughtfully, and suddenly, she thought of someone.
They should, all of them, have the same goal.
......
At night, Winnie sat outside on the balcony and let the wind blow her hair around.
She stared out, a little out of breath.
I don't know how long it took, but a voice came from overhead, "Why are you sitting here?"
Winnie subconsciously looked up: "The house is a little stuffy, I sit here to breathe ......"
As she spoke, she was about to stand up when Channing picked her up by the waist and placed her in the living room couch.
Channing raised his hand and touched her forehead, finding the temperature normal before saying, "I'll go make dinner."
Winnie pulled him, "No need, I ordered take-out, it will be delivered in a while, you are quite tired every day, get some rest when you come back."
Channing didn't say anything, sat down next to her, took the thin blanket next to her and unfolded it and put it on her lap.
Winnie looked at him with her head on her shoulder and noticed a hint of fatigue in his brow. She said, "Why don't you take a nap and I'll call you at dinner time."
"Good."
Channing leaned his head slightly on her shoulder and closed his eyes.
Winnie adjusted her shoulders so that he could sleep more comfortably, and then gently pulled the thin blanket a little more toward him.
Immediately after, she took out her phone and sent a message to the takeaway, so that there was no need to knock on the door, just leave it at the door.
After doing this, Winnie opened the rental app again and slowly browsed through it.
After a long time, Channing's low voice rang out, "What are you doing looking at this."
Winnie put away her phone and spoke methodically: "In a while, Director Aarav's movie is going to start, and it's really not very convenient to live in this place now, so I thought about it and moved closer, so you don't have to go back and forth so far every day... ..."
"Then why rent a house."
Winnie: "?"
Channing said, "You can stay at my place."
Winnie did not think about this, she subconsciously turned her head, her lips inadvertently swept over the bridge of Channing's nose.
Channing's eyebrows moved untraceably as he leaned against her shoulder, his tone slow and with a bit of weariness: "Sister doesn't want to stay at my place?"
Winnie: "......"
What is he talking about.
Channing really looks like a little titty dog this way.
How can one say no to this.
She said, "I was thinking it might not be too convenient ......"
"Convenient."
Winnie was about to say something else when Channing continued, "It's close to the hotel where you're shooting and close to my office."
Winnie was shocked: "Is the hotel already booked?"
"Pretty much."
Winnie was puzzled: "No, I didn't even get the message, how did you know."
Channing said, "Because I gave them a discount."
Winnie: "......"
More or less too much.
Winnie was silent for a moment: "Then move?"
Channing slowly sat up straight: "I'll be back early tomorrow."
Winnie hurriedly said, "No, no, I'll just have my assistant and driver help me carry it."
Immediately after, she said, "By the way, I have to go out tomorrow afternoon, I may come back a little late."
Channing asked, "Is there a job."
"No, attending a friend's engagement party."
Channing thought for a moment and asked, "Jan Porter?"
Winnie felt in a trance that the name sounded familiar, she fished out her phone, looked at the engagement invitation Priya had sent her, and instantly her eyes widened, "You know it?" Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
"Don't know him, he has business dealings with Star Ferry Technology and sent me an invitation the other day."
Winnie opened her mouth, thinking that this was too much of a coincidence, but on second thought, it seemed to make sense.
Channing is now a hot newcomer to City N. There are many people who want to make his acquaintance and should have received many invitations.
Winnie said, "So are you going?"
Channing said, "There's a meeting tomorrow afternoon, and I'll be there when it's over early."
Winnie nodded slowly.
Channing picked up his phone, tapped his finger on the screen a few times, and sent it to her, "Here's the address, and the password is your birthday."
