Chapter 1307 Shut out The evil guest in the house
Deep doubts remained in Skye's heart, and she couldn't help but have all kinds of doubts about the identity of this courier. Of course, even if she wanted to find out the identity of this courier, it would be impossible.
He came and went quickly. As long as he blends into the crowd and takes off his clothes, even if Skye can mobilize the power of the Sky Hammer Bureau, it will be difficult to find his traces. Not to mention exploring his origins.
Of course, Skye wasn't worried that he wouldn't find this guy. She had already had such an idea in her heart after noticing the peculiarity of this guy. That is, this courier will definitely not appear in front of him just for the sake of playing this face. They're sure they'll see each other again, and the next one won't be too long. So, all she had to do was wait.
Of course, the problem at hand is to settle the immediate troubles. The appearance of this ceramic cat may just be an excuse for this guy pretending to be a courier to get close to him, but it is easy to give someone the wrong message. And this misinformation caused Harry to reappear in front of her as quickly as possible.
Like a lion who had spotted his territory encroached upon, he first stared at Skye and the ceramic cat a few times back and forth. Then his face changed suddenly, and he said to Skye in a tone that seemed to be casual and seemed to be very concerned.
"You like this thing? How did I not know? If you like cats, I can find you a cat with a champion pedigree. If you like fluffy and cute, you can get a shorthair, and if you don't like shedding, you can get a sphynx. ”
"I don't like cats! This thing is probably a souvenir from a company, but I don't know how it was delivered to the company. If you like it, I can give it to you! ”
Skye didn't give Harry any chance to please herself, but she didn't expect that Harry, who was no longer playing the domineering president, would actually start playing the role of a dogskin plaster.
"That's what you said, so don't blame me for being rude. It just so happens that there's one less furnishing in my office, and I think this thing fits perfectly! ”
With that, Harry unceremoniously reached out and hugged the ceramic cat. And looking at his smile, it seems that he has picked up a big bargain. Skye really sighed that he couldn't do anything about it.
Of course, she could tell that Harry was enjoying this interaction with her. It's just that she doesn't really like to see this happen. Yesterday's conversation with Natasha already made some things clear. If they fall deeper and deeper into this relationship, then the two of them will only get hurt more and more. This kind of injury is not as simple as an ordinary person's breakup. That will inevitably develop into hatred, into pain that cannot be resolved for a lifetime. And that's definitely something Skye doesn't want to see. It's just that even if she wants to refuse, she can't open her mouth.
Skye has always been strong and independent. This may have something to do with her background. Already alone from the moment she was born, she would not be able to survive in this cruel world if she did not learn to be strong and independent. And since she has lived well until now, it means that she has learned all this very well.
It's just that learning to be strong and independent doesn't mean that she doesn't crave the kind of sweet life that someone hurts and loves. As a woman, she obviously has her own desire for family and love. It's just because she can't get it that she has to make the way she is now. And when Harry showed such a chase after her, she naturally thought of a lot of things that made her think about it.
She was reluctant to let go of it, so she could only pretend to be stupid like an ostrich with its head stuck in the gravel, ignoring everything she was supposed to do. Neither alienated nor accepted any overtures from Harry. She just wanted to stay in the way she was, and it wasn't that easy to do so.
Harry, who had clearly laid out the carriage, pestered her so hard that it was time to get off work, and just as she was about to leave, Harry had already stopped in front of her and asked her.
"Are you going to dinner? I know a restaurant that does great Italian food, and their seafood risotto is very good. After eating, we can also go to the movies or operas, whatever you like. What do you think? Are you intrigued? ”
"Harry, I'm sorry, I'm so tired right now that I don't want to eat or see anything. I just want to go back and rest now, okay? ”
Skye had a distressed look on her face, rejecting Harry's kindness. Harry was a little nervous when she said that.
"What? Are you feeling unwell? Do you need me to take you to the doctor? Listen, Daisy. If you are not feeling well, seeing a doctor is the best option. If you drag it out like this, you're only going to make things worse. Do you understand what I mean? ”
He behaved very intimately, but it was this intimate performance that made Skye feel more and more uncomfortable. The guilt was so thick that she could barely look Harry in the eye, and she had to make up a reason to refuse his kindness.
"It's okay. It's just that I didn't get used to sleeping yesterday and had some insomnia. I want to go home and get a good night's rest, it should be much better. ”
"Do you want me to send you?" Harry was still trying his best to show his concern for Skye, and Skye had no reason to refuse. She could only accept Harry's kindness honestly, and returned to her home with him picking her up.
Of course, she didn't give Harry a chance to enter her nest. Because she knew that once Harry was brought in, the relationship between them would become more and more inexplicable. She didn't want to give Harry such a wrong signal, so she was determined to let Harry stop outside her door.
This left Harry helpless and helpless. However, he knew the truth of the future, so after only a little hesitation, he left decisively. And it wasn't until he heard his footsteps leaving here that Skye, who was leaning against the door, breathed a long sigh of relief.
It was obviously impossible to go on like this, but she really didn't have the slightest idea how to stop this. The distress and struggle left her brain in complete chaos, and this chaos caused her to pay attention to her surroundings to a minimum.
She didn't even notice that there were already a few uninvited guests in her house, and when she noticed all this, she was already surrounded by a group of people.
It was a group of men and women she didn't even know, but there were about a dozen of them. Squeezed into her small apartment, the first feeling is a heavy sense of oppression. Especially when Skye recognized one of them as the guy who had delivered her the delivery in the morning, she felt even more that this was a premeditated action.
What exactly are they trying to do? Skye didn't know that, she didn't even know the identities of these people. She hated the fact that everything was unknown, and in order to cope with it, she could only lean against the door and put on a fighting stance. And he warned them about it.
"Hey, who are you? I warn you, this is a private house, and it is illegal for you to trespass in this way. This is a premium apartment, I just need to shout a few times, and the police and smart machines will come and arrest you in no time. Don't think that if you have more people, you will be fine. In the face of the power of the government, there is absolutely no possibility for you to resist. So if I were you, get out of here honestly. In that case, I can act as if nothing happened. Do you see what I mean? ”
Saying this in the tone of a woman who lives alone, Skye shows a strong but special attitude that also reserves a way back for the other party. And if it's really just for money, after hearing her threat, I'll more or less consider the consequences of doing so.
After all, this time is different from the past, and there are intelligent machines that maintain the basic order of society. There is certainly no escaping such a serious security problem as burglary. And once caught, then it is indispensable to be put in prison for a period of time. As one of the few places in the world where there is no order, the chaos of the prison is definitely something that no one would want to try. No creature would like to be in a cage, especially when it was dangerous. So Skye was pretty sure they would have some scruples, as long as they really came just for the robbery.
Of course, it is naturally impossible for Westen to appear in front of Skye for the sake of robbery. So when he heard Skye say this, he immediately reached out his hand, made a reassuring gesture, and said this to her.
"Miss Johnson, our presence here is not for any ill will towards you. We just followed the guidance of a lady and came to ask for your help. Trust us, we are not your enemies! ”
"Not my enemy, not necessarily my friend." Shaking his head, Skye didn't let his guard down because of his words. Instead, she began to scrutinize them more and more harshly. "I remember you, sir. You're the employee who delivered me the delivery in the morning. Since you're here, it means you're not a courier! Who are you? What exactly do you want to do? And what are you coming to me for? ”
