Chapter 82: Chapter 23 Apologize to
"I..." The waitress was flustered. She looked at Adela, showing a pleading look.
Adela gritted her teeth, staring at the waitress threateningly.
The waitress trembled and imdiately knelt to lissa."I’m sorry, Ms. Eugen. Actually, I stole the ring,"
"Really?" lissa curled her lips. lissa did not believe her.
She was just a waitress. How could she have the gut to steal Adela’s ring and imputed it to lissa? Moreover, it is impossible for her to design such a perfect plan.
"I’m sorry. It’s all my fault. I stole Ms. Yale’s ring. Please forgive . I didn’t do it on purpose. I won’t do it again." The waitress cried bitterly.
Seeing the waitress admit all cris, Adela sighed with relief.
"You stole my ring but why would my ring show in lissa’s handbag?" Adela asked as if she had nothing to do with the waitress.
"At the very beginning, I planned to take it away after I got off work. But I didn’t expect Ms. Yale would find out it was gone and let the security guards search. I was afraid of being discovered, so I hid the ring in Ms. Eugen’s handbag when no one was seeing."
The waitress’s face was pale. "Please forgive , I really didn’t do it on purpose. My mother is very ill and needs money for surgery."
"Who told you to do so?" lissa asked in a deep voice.
"No one taught ." The waitress’s voice shook slightly. Her eyes filled with fear, turning to the direction of Adela.
Adela was afraid that lissa would find out the truth. So she said, "Forget it. Since I’ve found the ring, I don’t want to bla you. After all, what you did is to save your mother."
"Thank you, Ms. Yale. Thank you, Ms. Yale." Tears brimd in the waitress’s eyes.
"Why not? That was not what Ms. Yale said when she thought I was the thief," lissa smirked indifferently.
"The ring has been found. Adela would like to let it go. No more discussion." Archer announced, stopping lissa to embarrass Adela.
Adela waved her hand and let the director take the waitress away. She took the ring and was about to leave.
"Wait a minute." lissa took a step forward in front of Adela.
Bullying is unacceptable for lissa. She wouldn’t let the waitress leave easily and end the thing without any protesting.
"What do you want?" Adela looked at lissa anxiously.
lissa plastered a fake smile and said in a disdainful tone, "Ms. Yale, I don’t expect you to leave now. A mont ago, you accused
of stealing the ring and even wanted to send
to jail. Now that the truth has been revealed, shouldn’t you apologize to ?"
"You!" Adela was choked by lissa’s word. Asking her to kill herself would be easier for Adele than apologizing to lissa.
"Apologize to lissa."Murray said in a low and cold voice.
Murray had an intimidating glory that was making Adela afraid. His impact caused her to take a step back.
"Sorry, lissa. It was my fault." Adela clenched her fists.
"What are you saying? I didn’t hear you." lissa rubbed her ears.
Adela tried her best to press the anger and raised her voice. She gritted her teeth and spat out, "Sorry!"
After apologizing to lissa, Adela turned to leave.
Archer cleared his throat before comforting lissa, "Ms. Eugen, I’m really sorry. What happened was a mistake. It can’t be blad on Adela. Don’t take it seriously."
lissa smiled to retort him, "I hope that next ti, Mr. Yale will be able to find out clearly. Don’t listen to others blindly."
lissa’s words made Archer feel uncomfortable. He soon changed the topic. "Ms. Eugen, are your hands alright? How about I ask soone to send you to the hospital?"
"No. I’ll leave now." After this night of tornt, lissa felt a little tired. She picked up her handbag and walked towards the gate.
She walked out and was about to take a taxi back when suddenly, lightning flashed and thunder rumbled in the sky. It began to rain.
No way! Why was I so unlucky? lissa thought.
She internally cringed because she didn’t bring an umbrella.
The bean-sized raindrops fell on lissa, making her feel cold.
lissa was just thinking to find a place to hide when a black Bentley stopped right beside her.
It was Murray’s car.
The door opened and Murray get off.
"Get in the car."
lissa was stunned. Why did Murray leave as well? Should he be at the banquet?
lissa seed to be unwilling to take his car. Murray frowned. "Why not get in?"
"Thank you." lissa finally got in, sitting next to him. Recalling her awkwardness last ti, she fastened her seatbelt imdiately.
Murray watched as a drop of rain ran from lissa’s jaw down to her neck into her V-line dress. She wore a well-tailored red dress, which perfectly clung to her sexy body. Her scent blew to his face, making him dizzy for a second. Finding it hard to concentrate, Murray breathed out deeply then gripped the steering wheel tightly.
"Where are you going?" lissa looked out the window. This was not the way ho.
"To the hospital." Murray glanced at her.
The hospital?
"Why?" lissa was surprised.
"Your hands are still red." Murray knitted his brow. He wanted to send her to the hospital for a check.
"There’s no need. It’s just an allergy," lissa said.
Murray’s face is a little gloomy. "Why do you hurt yourself?"
"What can I do? They accuse
of being a thief."
"You can use other thods," Murray replied.
"Is there a better way?" lissa rubbed her eyebrows.
Adela had perfectly sched to fra her, and all the evidence was very unfavorable to her. Her allergy was the best proof that she did not touch that ring. lissa could not think there was a better way.
Murray looked at her and said in a low voice, "You can ask
for help."
Was this the better way he said? lissa was speechless.
"Whatever, thank you for your goodness," she said with a smile.
In fact, lissa was a little grateful that Murray was willing to believe her.
Murray was expressionless, but he snorted. This woman was beyond his expectations.
Calm and smart. She was completely different from what he had imagined her to be.
Murray took lissa to the hospital. The doctor checked her hands carefully. Luckily, her allergy was not serious. After getting an ointnt from the doctor, lissa and Murray returned ho
Murray walked into the room and strode towards the bathroom. "I’m going to take a shower."
With the sound of running water ca from the bathroom, lissa sat on the sofa, took out the ointnt, and sared it on fingers. Although it was just an allergy, it was still a little itchy.
Distracted, lissa was not aware the running water sound had stopped. She stood up in a trance, but suddenly bumped into a chin above. "Bang!" lissa felt a burst of pain in her head. She looked up and saw Murray standing in front of her.
He wore a white bathrobe, with the top two buttons open, showing his six-pack. His hair was wet, dripping water from his neck down his muscular shoulder over his pecs and down into his chest before stopping at his thing. He was really built like a god.
Because of the crash, his sharp jaw turned red. He stared at lissa with her face distorted. Gulping, lissa took a step back, trying to escape from her cri scene. But Murray imdiately grabbed her wrist and turned her to face him. "Why are you so scared of ?"
lissa widened her eyes. "No, I’m not. When did you...?" His large, warm hands on her waist were sending delicious shivers through her whole body.
For goodness sake, I had an urge to close my eyes and lean into him. What’s wrong with . lissa thought.
"What do you want to say?"his husky voice and minty breath fanning her face sent thrills all through her body.
"When did you ... co here?" she stuttered. Eyes tangled, he held her in a trance.
Frozen, her core could feel his bulge under his robe.
