His standing posture could not maintain the straight and elegant manner of a superior gentleman. Instead, he stood a little tilted because he was enduring the pain, his brows were wrinkled, and his eyes were menacing and terrifying.He saw me almost immediately, and that uncomfortable expression instantly turned into an even more angry one.

He must have a gun in his pocket right now, waiting to shoot me in the head.

What a lingering unlucky ghost, I regret not being cruel enough to break his ribs.I drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, put the glass heavily on the table, then quickly stood up and said to the frightened Andrew: "Excuse me, I suddenly remembered that I have to take care of my uncle. I am very happy to dine with you. Let's meet again."

Andrew stood up, and he said with regret: "Me too, Miss Emily, say hello to your uncle for me."

"Yes, thank you." I pulled out the chair neatly, turned around and walked towards the opposite direction of the entrance of the restaurant. There was a long row of dining tables in front of it. Since the restaurant is on a ship, the shape of the big restaurant is a rectangle that conforms to the hull of the ship.The lights above the restaurant were too bright, and as I walked forward in ill-fitting shoes, it felt like I was walking a long, hopelessly long day.

Countless thoughts went through my mind, I'm sure that guy Carl saw me, but this is the upper-class restaurant, and there are still many female guests who haven't left, so they can't yell and grab me.And at the end of the direction I'm going, there's another door to the restaurant... to be honest I'm not sure if it's a bas-relief pretending to be a door, or if it's a real door.There must have been enough crew members waiting to catch me outside the dining room, intentionally hurting a first-class guest is a far worse crime than a lost watch.

If I was still sympathizing with the guests on this ship in the last second, I can only sympathize with myself in this second. Since the day I crossed, my luck has been back home.The worst thing is that I bumped into Cal Hockley, the unlucky guy who deserved his fiancée cheating on me, and who cares so much about a watch, who would like you so stingy.

"Miss, can you wait a moment?" The crew who were still at the entrance of the restaurant just now hurried to follow, probably because of Karl's identification.He walked up behind me suspiciously and asked in a low voice, but he was still not sure if I was a guest in the upper class cabin.

I didn't look back, and walked forward at the same speed. A noble woman in front looked at me in surprise, as if my cold face was very abrupt.

I was expressionless, and there were more obvious footsteps behind me, and another service staff asked, "Miss, can you stop for a while?"

My footsteps stopped suddenly, and I turned my head to look at the door, and saw Karl standing with one hand on his stomach, staring at me fiercely.

"What's going on?" Andrew asked suspiciously while standing in front of the dining table. He thought it would be rude for a crew member to suddenly rush out to stop me.

The manager of the restaurant also came over. He had a particularly ugly face, worried that so many of us would scare other guests.Cal Hockley looked at me grimly, as if wishing I could run away and tell people I was the bloody thief.

He didn't seem to be able to walk, or he just stood where he was a gentleman, waiting for the waiter to grab me.

I looked at him, and I could still see traces of embarrassment on his body.His hair was tidied, but a strand of hair still fell to his ear.His lips were still the same dull color, and there were marks and lines of pain on his face, making him look haggard.

He is like a dying dogtail grass, only when his eyes are staring at me, he is particularly alive, like a flame burning and boiling.

Why don't you make up for it when you walk?How do I know that this guy is so tenacious? I'm sure that ordinary people will never get up. It seems that he is in good health and can climb down layer by layer to identify me without being helped.

I habitually tapped my feet on the ground. It seemed that I couldn't pretend to be a lady anymore, and the terrain here was not conducive to escaping.

I can almost see the ending of being dragged back into the cabin and locked up. I can't use the crew's sympathy to throw him over the shoulder for the second time.And the dining room is not a cabin passage where you can hide and seek. I can use the railing stairs to jump up and down to avoid the capture personnel.

I took a deep breath, suppressed the urge to kick everyone away and ran out, barely showed the reserved smile just now, and said to the crew member who followed: "Is there anything I can do for you, sir?",

Before the staff member who was in charge of inquiring about me reached out to stop me, Andrew had already come over and stopped him with a displeased face: "George, is this how you treat customers?"

It was just right, and I immediately walked quickly through them and walked towards the band.The conductor of the orchestra did not stop his work, as if he did not see the chaos on our side, he just put the violin on his shoulder, and told the band members the next work to be played.

I came up to them and held out my hand to the conductor, "Emily."

"Henry Hallett." Henry held the bow and violin with his left hand, and shook my hand politely with his right hand. He tilted his head and looked down at me, then asked, "Miss Emily, what music do you want to hear?"

"Can you play the music that Mr. Andrew said just now? I like it very much." I let go of my hand quickly, because this almost dead-end scene made me feel nervous, and my fingers would unconsciously twist stand up.I could squint and see Carl walking slowly into the restaurant. He walked very slowly and strangely, and although he tried to maintain a straight posture, the only constant was that his eyes did not leave me.

Gritting his teeth and looking at me so intently, people who don't know would think this guy is in love with me.

"Of course, can I ask?" Harlett approached me suddenly and asked in a low voice, as if he was about to do something bad, he didn't want others to hear, he said very quickly and in a low voice: "What's the tune you played on the harmonica on the deck? "

If it wasn't for me being highly nervous and paying attention to the movement around me at all times, I really wouldn't be able to capture his almost inaudible voice.Unprepared, I blurted out, "My heart is forever."

"Very beautiful, really very beautiful." Hallett suppressed his excitement, but kept nodding and talking to himself, "It's really a very beautiful piece of music."

I finally reacted, I couldn't believe it, had I seen this bandleader?How did he recognize me playing the harmonica on deck?

"I'm not sure, you admit it yourself," Hallett added kindly, and then he turned to the rest of the band and said loudly, "Next, Londonderry."

The same melody floated over the big restaurant again, and the gentle and tender notes slowly flowed into my heart. I once danced a solo dance, which was also accompanied by a similar melody.I stood quietly next to the band and listened to their concentrated performance.

Andrew easily pressed the crew member's shoulder and told him softly, "Nothing should scare the guests."

Carl looked very impatient. If it weren't for the upper class restaurant, he would have pointed at me and yelled, "Get rid of this crazy woman."

Seriously, I don't want to have anything to do with this wretch at all.I don’t have any deep hatred with him, it’s just that by accident, I accidentally punished him. These days, I always offend a lot of people in order to survive. I don’t regret kicking him to the point where he almost paralyzed, because I had no choice in that situation. .

Although the retribution came faster than expected.I saw that Carl had already walked up to Andrew, threatening him in a low voice, "That woman is a thief, are you covering up criminals? Mr. Andrew."

Andrew showed a surprised expression, and he said in disbelief: "Do you have evidence? I don't think I should stand here and listen to you slandering an innocent woman. This...it's unbelievable."

"Slander?" Carl twitched the corners of his mouth angrily, and couldn't help raising his voice half a tone, then he immediately lowered it, and turned his head to look around uncomfortably, worried that others would see his gaffe.His face became even paler, and the hand covering his belly trembled slightly, looking in unbearable pain.He originally wanted to maintain his elegant demeanor, but when he saw that I was still leisurely standing next to the band listening to the music, he almost contorted his face with hatred and said, "I slandered her? She...she did that kind of thing , I doubt if she is a woman."

What did I do to not look like a woman, to force you?
