Chapter 438: 0438 Fear of gain and loss_1

Ruffy Smith made a phone call and immediately had his people arrange a private plane for him.

He needed to return to East City right away and simply couldn’t wait another minute.

Compared to his excitement, Ellen Young was quite calm.

She knew that even if Ruffy Smith hurried back, considering the two hours for the plane and another two from the city to there, by the time he arrived, she would already be waking up.

She worried she wouldn’t rest well, thinking that with Ruffy Smith’s character, he would definitely come to find her once he arrived.

With this thought, Ellen Young decided to go to sleep.

She muted the sound and even said to Blackie, "Good night."

She did so with a smile.

In fact, she couldn’t quite articulate her feelings, but it seemed that agreeing to Ruffy Smith made her feel a bit more relaxed inside.

Unlike before, she no longer felt there was something wrong with herself.

She was neither thin-skinned nor thick-skinned.

She didn’t like Ruffy Smith, having even clearly rejected him before, but he was someone she couldn’t drive away.

Now that she had agreed, it seemed even harder to make him leave.

Blackie let out a soft bark and curled up in the dog bed by the bed, also falling asleep obediently.

She closed her eyes, and perhaps she herself didn’t realize that the corners of her mouth still held a faint curve, although subtle.

Imperial City:

Clinton White felt restless no matter how he tried to sleep that night, tossing and turning like a pancake.

Zoe Lewis, annoyed by his poor sleep, muttered groggily, "If you’re not going to sleep, then go sleep on the sofa!"

Clinton White turned over and looked at her with a somewhat serious expression, "I keep feeling uneasy today, as if something big is about to happen. Is there something wrong with the BOSS?"

"Don’t jinx her," Zoe’s voice was muffled, "Besides, Damien Frost and his team are there with Ellen Young. What could happen to her? You also sent a bodyguard over, we’d know right away if there was an issue."

Clinton White: "But I still feel something’s not right. What exactly is it?"

Zoe Lewis: "All I know is if you don’t sleep now, I’ll kill you on the spot."

Clinton White: "..."

He thought and thought and still felt uneasy, but he had to get up early for work tomorrow, and people from the overseas branch would be coming for a meeting. He had too much to do in one day to spend more time on this feeling that something was off.

Ah, it’s all the BOSS’s fault.

Such a good person retiring and coming back, yet not showing up at the company, look at these people.

***

When he went to the bar for a drink, it was only ten o’clock. Flying to East City at top speed, it was just past half-past midnight.

He had had a drink and indeed felt groggy. As much as he wanted to see Ellen Young, he would not joke with his own life. Otherwise, what good would fulfilling his dream be if he lost his life?

So he asked a driver to take him.

He requested the driver to go at maximum speed.

Luckily, the road was empty halfway there, and the driver’s skills were solid, allowing for full-speed driving.

Actually, he wasn’t feeling great. He drank as if he was drinking water that evening, and now the aftermath hit him. He became sick on the plane twice and his stomach ached slightly, but it wasn’t a big issue.

He now leaned against the backrest with his eyes closed, pretending to nap.

The pleasure was still visible on his furrowed brow.

At that moment, he was extremely eager to see Ellen Young, not knowing what she was doing. Maybe she was asleep, so he didn’t dare call her.

What if her temper flared up due to lack of sleep and she said she changed her mind?

Fear of losing what one has perfectly described his current state.

It was just like before when he had nothing to lose, so nothing really mattered.
