Luke had been watching them...
Moments later, Kingsley's cell phone rang.
They were not far apart, but Sherman didn't see the name on the phone's screen.
Then the phone rang again...
Kingsley frowned and still didn't answer the phone...
Sherman thought it was a little strange. She thought for a moment and said, "What's the matter?"
It was strange because Kingsley didn't answer his phone and the caller kept calling.
Kingsley's deep eyes glanced over at Luke and then at Sherman. He said in a soft voice, "I'm going to take a call. I'll be back..."
Sherman nodded. The man stood up, picked up his cell phone with his right hand, opened the door of the private room with his left, and walked out.
That left only Sherman and Luke in the room.
After drinking warm water, Luke said, ""How much do you know about Kingsley? For example, his character and his family." "I know his character, but I don't know about his family. I'm not curious about his family neither." Sherman replied flatly.
Smiling, Luke put his glass of water on the table. The glass tinkled as he tapped it with his bent fingers. The water was shaking.
"Ms. Holmes, you're smart. The Kingsley family is unusual. You shouldn't be together.It's better if you break up before you fall in love."
