Chapter 628: Displeased

“David told you about it?” Chen Zhao was surprised by Kate’s arrival.
Kate looked at the sissy. “Perhaps you don’t know me, but I can introduce myself. I’m the chief reporter of the L.A. Daily News. I have 30 freelance reporters under me. If you contact any minor, I can turn it into child sexual abuse.”
Chen Zhao felt like he had become a vicious bully.
In the end, the sissy canceled the accusation and escaped with his tail between his legs.
But this did not mean that they had buried the hatchet.
Chen Zhao had really been disgusted.
If they had made any peace, it was only legally.
Chen Zhao was no longer his old self, who would keep quiet and pretend that nothing had happened after being bullied.
Had he not known so many people, he might actually have to go to court.
Regardless of whether he would be sentenced, it would be an unpleasant experience.
David and Kate walked Chen Zhao out of the police station with teasing smiles.
“Chen, to be honest, being harassed by a pervert is a special experience in life.”
“Exactly. Look, David’s never been harassed before.”
“Are you still my friends?” Chen Zhao was upset. “I’m leaving.”
“Let me drive you home,” David invited.
“Forget it. I’ll get a cab, before you have another chance to mock me.”
Since David got injured last time, his relationship with Kate had been improving.
Chen Zhao was pretty glad. At least he did not have to worry about them suddenly breaking up.
Once Chen Zhao returned home, Fali came to comfort him.
“Fali, why do you know about this too?”
“David told me.”
Fali was the last person Chen Zhao would tell the incident to.
It was simply embarrassing.
He was harassed by a sissy and then arrested by the police.
Fine, Fali just wanted to comfort Chen Zhao.
But very soon, the atmosphere changed.
Because even she found it hilarious.
“Chen, don’t be sad. At least this proves your charm. You can even attract men.”
Chen Zhao pulled Fali and did it with her on the spot.
“Fali, do you want to go to New York on the 21st of June?”
“Haven’t you just been there?”
“The Diamond League has a track and field competition in New York on the 21st of June. Rufford is taking part.”
Fali had seen Rufford before, but they were not close.
On Leonardo’s birthday at that time, Chen Zhao had brought them to watch Rufford’s competition.
After the match, Rufford had a short conversation with Chen Zhao’s friends.
However, they had not contacted each other since then.
Fali remembered Rufford, because she knew that Chen Zhao had been investing in him.
When Chen Zhao went to New York last time, she did not go with him.
But she wanted to. After all, she had never been there.
“I’ll see. I don’t know if Robio will approve my leave application.”
“It’s already been four months since you last took leave. You’ve even been working overtime on weekends. I think it’s reasonable for you to take some leave.”
“Actually it’s not Robio’s fault. It’s summer now. There have been many tourists on the beach.”
“Also, I plan to bring all the pets there this time. I can’t take care of them by myself,” Chen Zhao said.
Since he returned from New York, Samuel had been throwing tantrums.
As the most prosperous city in the world, New York was the most featured city in Hollywood movies, especially disaster films.
It was as if a disaster would be significantly less catastrophic if it did not involve New York.
Chen Zhao suspected that Samuel was planning to start world destruction with New York.
Black-Ma and White-Ma had also been complaining about why Chen Zhao had only brought Blackie there.
In fact, Chen Zhao did not even enjoy his last trip. He could not play with Yura and Cheryl around.
“I’ll try.”
“No, you have to. We’ve never been to another place together.”
“Does Sacramento not count?”
“Of course not.”
“Fine, fine.”
With Fali’s promise, Chen Zhao could finally hug her and sleep in peace.
Early the next day, Chen Zhao received a call from Karim.
“Chen, we’ve arrived in L.A.”
“Great. Come here yourself.” Chen Zhao looked at the time. It was only six in the morning.
Why did they call him this early? When was their flight?
…
“Brighton, what happened to your face?”
“Don’t remind me. I met a barbarian. If he wasn’t pitiful, I would have sent him to jail.” Brighton still had gauze on his face.
“Can you still work today? We’re going to see an important client later. If you still feel unwell, you can rest at home,” Nat said.
“Don’t worry. It won’t affect work.”
Brighton had just become Nat’s assistant designer. Since the client was important, Brighton did not want to be absent.
“Then cheer up. Cooper and Tris are going too. Don’t embarrass me there.”
Hearing that Cooper and Tris would be going too, Brighton was energized. “Who’s the client?”
Tris, Cooper, and Nat were the three lead designers for Baroness.
Usually, a celebrity could only meet one of them. In addition, the client would come to their place, not the other way round.
This time, the designers were actually going to the client’s house.
And all three of them were going. It was obvious how important the client was.
“It’s a friend of the boss,” Nat said coldly. “Mind your own business. Stop asking questions.”
He did not want to talk about Chen Zhao. After all, they had had a conflict before.
Of course, he had never thought of revenge.
Anyway, Chen Zhao had not done anything to him after the incident.
They also did not have any further conflicts.
Moreover, if he really wanted revenge, he would probably lose his job.
The work this time was quite important. Nat had a serious attitude.
“Remember, do not make that client angry, or I’ll kill you,” Nat cautioned.
“Understood.”
Hearing Nat’s solemn warning, Brighton did not dare to be careless.
He was pretty new to fashion design.
Even Nat could bully him, not to mention the client that caused Nat to be so anxious.
Just then, Cooper and Tris came with their assistants.
“Nat, are you ready? Let’s go together.”
“Sure, I’m ready too.” Nat stood up and waved his hand at Brighton. “Pack the tools. We’re leaving.”
“What happened to your assistant’s face?”
“Nothing. He’s fine.”
