Chapter 33 The man who Sent you Back
“Mom, I’m not that fragile.” Suzanne hugged Afra. “Besides, pigeon soup is so nutritious. Maybe I’ll be full of energy tomorrow morning.”
Afra was amused by her words and nodded. “Okay, I’ll ask Edwiin to send you home.”
“It’s okay.” Suzanne refused without hesitation. Seeing Afra look at her in confusion, she hurriedly smiled and said, “I mean, Edwiin must be very busy. I’ll just ask the driver to drive me home.”Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
“It’s okay. I’m not busy.” Edwiin’s deep voice came from the stairs on the second floor.
“It’s good that you’re not busy.” Afra was very happy when she saw Edwiin coming downstairs. “When you come back, buy a few boxes of papaya in the mall.”
Edwiin went out wearing a black shirt and black suit pants.
Suzanne was upset, but since he had already gone downstairs, she couldn’t refuse. She could only change her shoes at the entrance and follow him out.
Edwiin took less than 20 minutes to drive her to the apartment she rented.
Seeing Suzanne open the car door and get out, he said lightly, “Be careful.”
“Okay,” Suzanne replied obediently and got out of the car with a bag of documents in hand.
She ran to the gate of the apartment and entered the password. After entering, she looked out through the hollow door. Edwiin’s car left not long after it stopped by the roadside.
Seeing the black Maybach leave, Suzanne took the elevator to the sixth floor.
As soon as she returned to the apartment and hadn’t changed her slippers yet, Nancy White, who was watching TV in the living room, ran over while standing on the porch. Her face was covered with LaPrairie’s mask, and her eyes were bright. She said in a soft voice, “Honey!”
“Back off!” Suzanne shouted. This was too disgusting. She put one hand in front of her body and firmly refused to let Nancy get close to her. “Don’t laugh when you stick to the mask. It’s too much of a waste.”
“Oh, this expensive mask was not paid by myself. It doesn’t matter.”
Nancy didn’t care at all. She stared at Suzanne and asked happily, “Who was the person who just sent you back? I saw a Maybach parked at the gate of our TV station in the afternoon.”
Suzanne was shocked. “It can’t be so obvious, can it?”
In that case, wouldn’t she have been seen by her colleagues when she got into Edwiin’s car in the afternoon?
Thinking of how many colleagues would be curious about her personal matters tomorrow when she went to the television station, Suzanne didn’t know what to do.
Her colleagues didn’t know much about her family background. She usually kept a low profile. When someone suddenly saw such a luxury car coming to pick her up, there would be a lot of speculations in their hearts.
“Tell me!” Seeing that Suzanne still refused to speak, Nancy felt that there was hope. She shook her arm hard with great curiosity and excitement. “Is he your boyfriend?”
Nancy had always known that Suzanne had a boyfriend. It was said that he was the vice president of a company and was very rich. However, she had never seen him before, so when she saw the Maybach send Suzanne home, she could not help but guess that the driver was her boyfriend.
“Uh, no.” Suzanne’s face was full of unnaturalness. When she thought of Nancy calling Edwiin her boyfriend, she felt strange and a little embarrassed.
In order to prevent Nancy from chasing after her with a question, Suzanne quickly found an excuse to say that she was going to take a shower. She took her clothes and ran into the bathroom, keeping Nancy outside.
In fact, Suzanne had been feeling uncomfortable since the afternoon. She felt as if something was about to happen, but that feeling was very subtle, and she couldn’t sense anything.
She entered the bathroom to take a shower. When she accidentally hit the sink with her wrist, that uncomfortable feeling appeared again, making her feel a little stuffy.
In order to avoid bumping into the bracelet on her left wrist, Suzanne leaned forward and raised her arm slightly. As a result, she did not pay attention and her fingers were poked by the sharp thorns on the cactus, which made her almost scream in pain.
“Why am I so unlucky?” She muttered gloomily as she looked at the beads of blood on her finger. She placed it in her mouth and sucked it. She wrinkled up the eyebrow.
Could it be that something bad is about to happen?
Suzanne believed in her extrasensory perception. She felt that if she had a bad premonition and predicted that something bad would happen.
She was afraid that something unexpected would happen in the bathroom, so she was very careful. Whether washing her hair or taking a shower, she had to wash away all the bubbles around her before she dared to move.
This made her stay in the bathroom for half an hour longer than usual. When she went out, Nancy complained, “Suzanne, aren’t you afraid of rubbing your skin off after bathing for so long?”
“Why do you blame me for taking a bath a little longer?” Suzanne was a little embarrassed. She took out a dry towel from the cabinet to dry her hair. “Are you waiting for me to come out and coax you to sleep?”
Nancy didn’t think that her joke was funny at all. Her pink face was full of sadness, and her two eyebrows were knitted together. It was obvious that she was extremely worried. “I don’t know which makeup is good-looking.”
“Why are you thinking about this?” Suzanne sat down next to her and glanced casually at the coffee table. Only then did she realize that she had taken out almost all of her cosmetics, whether they were previously used or unopened new products.
“You have quite a lot of stock.” Suzanne couldn’t help exclaiming. She casually took a powder box and opened it to have a look.
Last year, Nancy and she each bought NO. 3 foundation of Huge Egg. She didn’t expect that Nancy’s box still seemed untouched even when she was about to run out.
“Suzanne, you’re good at this. Please help me!” Nancy rummaged through a pile of cosmetics and raised the two lipsticks in front of her. “Which color do you think I should use for the interview tomorrow?”
“Do you have an interview?” Suzanne raised her eyebrows, apparently curious about her words.
She stayed with Nancy every day, and they were colleagues in the same department. Of course, she knew what Nancy usually did and what announcements she made. It was rare for Nancy to have an interview that she did not know about. It was too rare.
According to Suzanne’s understanding of Nancy, she would not make simple things more complicated, such as her makeup and how fast she could do it. She would use the same lipstick every day and would never get tired of the color for a year.
At this moment, her distress and entanglement really made Suzanne curious.
“Could it be that tall boy surnamed Graham from earlier?” Suzanne asked after pondering for a moment. She has the deepest impression of that boy. A few months ago, their TV station recorded the show, but he did not come.
“No. It doesn’t matter if you don’t interview that kind of handsome young man whom no one cares about,” Nancy said. There was a little excitement on her face. “It’s the young master of Follette’s family. Didn’t I tell you that I began to make an appointment with him three months ago?”
“The Follette’s family?” Suzanne thought for a moment, but she couldn’t remember anything.
