novelxo Chapter 201
"I'm sorry! I'm so sorry for being late. I was held up," Dylan immediately apologized to everyone when he arrived.
Chandler looked a little relieved when he was here, but it was replaced quickly with a stern expression as he said to his secretary, "Let him do the rest of the work."
The secretary understood Chandler and knew Dylan's tardiness irritated him. At the same time, it was indeed Dylan's job. Dylan was supposed to be the one doing the introduction that day, introducing the local culture of that area. This was Dylan's forte and also his job.
The secretary's head was lowered. "Alright."
Dylan was not at all surprised by what his grandfather said. He understood him well, so he immediately said, "Let me do it! Don't worry. You guys can rest while I pick up from here. No problem!"
Everyone chuckled at Dylan's confidence and agreeable personality. He was a natural at socializing. The moment he arrived, the entire atmosphere was different. He was the life of the party, and everyone was much more relaxed.
Naomi, still in her wheelchair, looking at Dylan smiling. She was pleased and relaxed, too.
Dylan was a natural at influencing other people's moods.
Naomi could not see any hint of anger in Dylan at all, nothing like how Belle described him the night before.
Naomi suddenly realized something. Men would not easily show their true emotions no matter what happened. Even if it was something serious, if they were to work or do something else, they would put their emotions aside and work as if nothing happened.
They were calm and very rational.
A strange thought crossed Naomi's mind. She thought that caring for someone meant that one's emotions would have huge changes, just like the incident the night before. She thought that Dylan would look rather off, but she saw nothing on him. It was as if the incident the night before did not happen.
The 'Dylan' Belle described did not exist.
Naomi looked at Dylan, her gaze turned from being pensive to being wary and confused. This was different from what she knew.
Meanwhile, Scott looked at Naomi, unable to decipher her thoughts. This happened rarely.
While Dylan was talking to everyone, he casually swept a glance at Scott and Naomi. He secretly assessed them, especially Naomi. When he saw how Naomi did not look one bit sad at all, he was alarmed. He looked at Scott with a little hint of pity in his gaze.
Naomi did not care about Scott at all. Scott was going to have a tough time winning over Naomi's heart, then.
Scott sensed Dylan's gaze on him. He looked over and met with Dylan's eyes. Dylan flashed him a wide smile and his set of perfectly white teeth.
Scott looked at Dylan and tapped his fingers on the handle of the wheelchair.
When Dylan arrived, it was coincidentally when everyone was taking a break. After he greeted and got to know everyone, it was almost time to continue the tour. Dylan went right in front of the group and started explaining to everyone in a professional way.
He seemed like a totally different person.
Naomi looked at Dylan, listening to his explanation calmly. She got distracted.
To be human was to have feelings, yet she felt Dylan was a little cold and heartless to be able to come out of his emotions so quickly. Upon a closer thought, she felt that it was not much of a problem too. There was not only one type of relationship in this world. It also did not mean that one could not continue living or working without a relationship.
