Chapter nine hundred and sixty-ninth hypocrisy
969, false intentions
Padme Amidala looked at the handsome man in front of her and smiled very appropriately, "Actually, there is nothing else to mean. I invite you to have dinner, mainly because I did lose my composure this afternoon."
Rush Clovis said appropriately: "You, Padme, cannot be blamed on this level that concerns national affairs."
He said, rubbing his hands on the table naturally forward, and then gently placing them on the back of Padmé's hand.
Padme's face changed. He wanted to pull his hand away at that time, but when he thought of his task, he still held back and just spoke out and reminded him first, "It's not the time it used to be, isn't it?"
Rush Clovis smirked, but he still took his hand back with a very graceful attitude. "I always think that this wrong war has caused us to lose our normal minds and thus made the wrong decision. In fact, we don't need to be so alienated."
"Am I wrong decision? I'm glad you think so, Clovis, because you still have to explain the matter of the Star Banking Association after all." Padme said, but her tone was very gentle at this moment. Compared to the stern questioning in the afternoon, it was more like a joke between friends.
Rush Clovis said leisurely: "This is exactly what I want to tell you... Padme. The Star Banking Association is not what you think. They just want to protect their own property. But for example, you see the planet of Cato Nemo Yindia, which once became a battlefield. If General Sephrans-Tann had not repelled the Republic fleet there, even I would have gone bankrupt now."
Padme Amidala was really surprised, "Cato Nemo Yindia? Do you actually have property in Cato Nemo Yindia? That world of wealth that is second to none?"
"Well, after all, working in the Star Banking Association is still a very good thing." Rush Clovis waved his hand casually, as if he didn't care about his huge wealth at all.
Padme Amidala looked a little disappointed, she lowered her head and sighed, "But no matter what you have there, it's very dangerous now. If you really want to continue with me, then we should leave these disputes...ah, no, no...no..."
Padme knew he was speechless and quickly wanted to change the subject, but for a moment he didn't know what to say, so he had to lower his head shyly.
Rush Clovis keenly grabbed Padmé's head, and he said in surprise, "You mean, you want to keep with me...? Padmé, you should know how I spent every night without you in the past year..."
He was excited to grab Padme's hand again, but he was avoided.
Padme leaned his head to the side and whispered, "You know, I have no friends in Coruscant... Members Onakonda Fal and Members Bell Organa, they are more like elders to me... I am indeed lonely."
"I understand your mood! I understand so much, Padmé...I...I really don't know how to describe it. This war, this war is a mistake! It made me lose you for a while... But, this is not the case, it is not." Rush Clovis was incoherent in his speech.
A hint of impatient flashed in Padme Amidala's eyes, but she still pretended to refuse and welcome her. She once again slapped Clovis's hand, "You said it right. If it weren't for this war... If the war could stop, maybe we could really start over again. But... the Star Banking Association is too dangerous, too dangerous..."
Rush Clovis said seriously: "Actually, I know too. But don't worry, no one can hurt me at this current position. The Interstellar Banking Association is indeed dangerous because it controls countless wealth. In this galaxy, it controls wealth and life and death. But I am the one who controls wealth."
"You seem to have changed a lot." Padme was stunned.
"My feelings for you have never changed." Rush Clovis said seriously: "What I changed is just my way of doing things. I am cooperating with the Star Banking Association to make an investment. Once this investment can be successful, I can reach the top 100 on the galaxy's wealth list. By then, I can let go of everything and enjoy life with you..."
Padme Amidala lowered her head to hide her expression and pretended to be painful, "No...I can't think so much now. This war has made me exhausted. Countless people die every day, but...I can't do anything about it..."
As she spoke, she started sobbing.
As soon as he saw her crying, Rush Clovis was a little fussy. He stood up and wanted to hold Padme's shoulder, but Padme shook his shoulder while pretending to cry, shook Clovis's hand off, and then cried louder.
Clovis had no choice but to squat beside Padme and whispered: "Maybe you are under too much pressure recently. Why not take you to the planet Cato-Nemoyindia, I am qualified to enter this planet of Fortune. There, all the scenery, service, and food are so perfect... to the visible future, this is our life. Tomorrow, how about tomorrow?"
Padme shook his head exhaustedly and said with a smirk: "I am very happy with your invitation, Clovis. But tomorrow won't work. I have a speech to attend tomorrow. In addition, I will wait for my guard captain and the spacecraft pilot to come back. Let's go the day after tomorrow... I do want to see the scenery of Kato-Nemo Yindia in the world of Fortune."
Clovis smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll make everything."
Padme's mouth curled up slightly, and her eyes were a little sharp under the cover of her palm. She whispered: "I look forward to the arrival of the day after tomorrow... Thank you, Clovis."
"Everything about mine is yours. Padmé...you shine like the stars in the sky."
...
Back at the mansion, Padme Amidala seemed to have become a different person. She took off her complicated hair accessories, simply tied a capable ponytail behind her head, and then took out the communicator to connect.
Master Wendu appeared in the holographic projection.
"Clovis invites me to the planet Cato Nemo Yindiya. You must know that this planet is the best wealth world under the Trade Union, and they will not let outsiders enter. In this case, I have reason to suspect that Rush Clovis is colluding with the Trade Union. It seems that your intelligence is correct." Padme said seriously.
"I'm very happy to see that you are not embarrassed by this, Councillor Amidala." Master Wendu nodded.
"I had nothing to do with Clovis from the day the war broke out. Now seeing him plotting something with separatist together will only make me sick." Padme said coldly.
