Chapter 6 Sister-In-Law
1238 Words
Norman tried to say something more, but the phone was cut off.
"Damn it! " He scolded, almost driving his car into a telephone pole at the roadside in an unguarded moment.
This was a Ferrari. He couldn't afford to break it.
"Looks like a tall order."
Norman never thought that one day he would be annoyed because he was good-looking.
"Are you all right? Shall I tell my sister-in-law?" Lily knew that her brother was in trouble.
Sister-in-law? Emma? If she knew, she would be furious and cause trouble.
"Lily, the owner of this car isn't your sister-in-law yet, and even then, don't tell her about this."
"Trust me, I can handle it. Don't be afraid, Lily. I'll be fine, and I'll let you all be fine."
Lily stopped talking and nodded.
Norman adjusted himself, started the car again, and caught up with Frank's car.
He was also thinking about Gina of Regal Entertainment, a division manager in charge of unknown actors.
When on earth did he get into trouble with such a difficult woman?
He lit a cigarette and felt relaxed.
As he tried to recall the memories of the original Norman,
As he tried to recall the memories of his owner, images flashed across his mind that was both real and unreal. He played back the memories in fast backward mode but in double speed.
He got it! In a flash of inspiration, he caught a useful picture in his mind.
Gina managed to lure him into a suite in Copley Hotel, under the pretext of discussing work.
Norman showed up as promised. Gina, on the other hand, didn't talk about work. She wore a revealing dress and seduced Norman in every way.
Norman was not impressed. After all, Gina was nothing like Emma in terms of looks and body.
He couldn't swallow his pride when faced with a beautiful girl like Emma. Gina's seduction was nothing to him.
His pride would never allow him to be a kept man unless he was in love with that girl.
After a few minutes, Gina saw that her efforts were fruitless. Thinking it was not obvious what she meant, she came straight to the point.
"Norman, I don't like to beat around the bush."
"You know very well that I am your superior and have the resources that you all want."
"You're talented, and I like the way you look. As long as you will stay with me one night, I will leave you to choose any good opportunity."
Gina's intention was made very clear. Norman couldn't pretend anymore.
"Gina, you are my superior, and if you have a legitimate need, I'll be happy to do anything I can for you."
"But with regard to the request you have just made, I am sorry that I cannot do so."
"If you have no further orders, I shall go."
Norman turned away without noticing how angry Gina's face was.
Holy crap!
Norman, sitting in the car, was shocked as he recalled the old Norman's memories.
In a previous life, he also knew that relationships in the entertainment industry were messy. It was common to have a silent code between a male leader and a female subordinate. After all, a philanderer was mostly a man.
He had never thought that handsome men were also vulnerable.
Gee. What's wrong with the world? Norman was filled with emotion.
Norman found it very informative. He used to be a loser and nobody talked to him at all, so he never had such an affair.
Now that he had it, he wanted to see what it felt like.
But he soon dismissed the idea.
No, he was taking Norman's body and was not going to give in to evil forces.
A lot happened along the way, and after a few twists and turns, he finally got Emma's car back.
Norman was relieved to be cleared of being a thief.
Next, it was time for him to take care of the company.
As soon as he picked up the phone, he saw the screen flashing, voice message 99+ unread.
It was all from the same person, Betty, who had bullied his sister at the bar.
Norman clicked on two voicemail messages at random and found that they were similar. Betty wanted to be his girlfriend. She apologized for hurting her sister. She wanted to ask him out to dinner.
He was now quite a catch to all women. He hadn't found a girlfriend in his last life for over thirty years.
"Since they all want to be my girlfriend, it's better if I just let the woman take care of the woman. " Norman thought cunningly.
He was really bad with women. He might as well leave his trouble to them.
He didn't know what was going to happen when Gina met Betty?
Norman edited a message and sends it to Betty.
"I can give you a chance to make amends. Now I'm under duress. If you act as my girlfriend and help me out, I'll consider forgiving you."
When Betty saw Norman's reply, she agreed without a word.
The next day, Betty visited Gina with a group of girls.
She told Gina she was Norman's girlfriend and warned her to stop pestering Norman. Before leaving, she threatened Gina again.
Gina, a manager of an entertainment company, had never seen anything like this. She knew that these little girls were not easy to mess with.
Gina wussed out. When Betty left, her anger was aggravated to the extreme.
She was determined to make Norman suffer!
On the way home, Norman suddenly sneezed.
It seemed like someone was thinking about him all the time. Norman didn't know whether to be happy or sad.
Accustomed to the days when nobody cared for him, he was a little unaccustomed to being such a likable person.
Today he decided to take his sister home with him.
He moved out of his home to assert his independence before. Recently he was so busy with his work that he had no time to go home.
He was worried about whether his parents were implicated because of his work, whether Gina had brought anyone on to get them in trouble, and whether they were in good health.
Norman hadn't felt so worried about his family in a long time.
People always knew how to cherish the lost! It was even more commendable to get it back.
Norman felt that he was such a jerk that he had not made any contribution to his family except to make a mess.
Now he wanted to make up for his previous regret!
He quickened his pace with this thought.
He stopped when he strode near the house. Now nearing home, he grew timid.
"Why are you walking so fast? I can't even catch up with you." Lily managed to catch up, gasping for breath.
"When you get home, don't mention the troubles in our house. Just pretend you don't know about it."
"Dad and mom wanted me to keep it from you for fear that you would be worried about them," Lily warned, afraid that he might give the cat out of the bag.
"Well, I won't mention it! "
Norman felt unspeakably miserable, wondering how much his family had to bear secretly for such a thing.
When they got to the door, they found no one at home, and the door was locked.
