Chapter 914: My Friend
Amanda could feel Abbott’s glance. She looked back and explained, “My friend.”
Abbott asked, “Male or female?”
Amanda scratched her hair and answered honestly, “Male.”
Abbott asked the two men to wait for him outside the door. He walked in and continued, “Did he stay
here overnight?”
Closing the door, Amanda answered frankly, “Yeah.”
Abbott looked at her. Obviously, he was surprised.
Amanda rubbed her forehead and realized that he had overthought.
“He’s a friend of mine. He has saved my life. Last night, he was in a bad mood, so he came over to
have a drink with me. He got drunk and I was worried to let him go home alone. Hence, he stayed
here.” She pointed at the sofa. She hadn’t put away the blanket yet. Abbott could tell that someone was
sleeping on it earlier.
He also realized that he had overthought. Amanda had suffered a big loss in love, so he didn’t believe
that she would do anything recklessly again.
He sat down.
Amanda asked, “Abbott, have you had breakfast yet?”
Abbott said yes.
“I saw you came with another two men. What are they?” asked Amanda.
Right then, her phone started ringing on the table. She picked it up and checked the caller ID, only to
find Casimir’s name. She raised her eyebrows, wondering what he was doing as he had just left. Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
She swiped to answered.
“Hello, Amanda. Are you all right?”
She heard Casimir’s question as soon as the call was connected.
Amanda didn’t answer.
She was confused.
“What happened, Casimir?”
“Oh, nothing.” Casimir had arrived at the same level. Seeing the two men outside Amanda’s door and
noticing the peace in her voice, he didn’t think she was in trouble. He asked tentatively, “Will you come
out?”
Amanda was quiet for a moment.
“Haven’t I told you I’ll work from the hotel?”
“Oh... I forgot. Are you alone in the room now?”
Amanda sensed something wrong, “Casimir, what on earth do you want?”
“Nothing. I’m afraid you’ll feel bored alone in the room. Shall we go to see a movie during lunchtime?”
“No, thanks. I’m still busy. I’ve gotta go now...”
“Wait. Are you truly all right?”
“Sure. Bye for now.”
“Okay. Bye.”
Upon hearing the beeps on the phone, Casimir was standing at the corner and looking at the door. He
didn’t leave. He wanted to ensure if that man who knocked on Amanda’s door would come out from
there later.
In that case, he would ensure if Amanda knew that man or not.
If so, when he told her he had met that man, why would Amanda tell him that she knew him?
In the room, Amanda put down the phone.
Abbott asked, “From your friend who wasn’t in a good mood?”
Amanda said yes while lowering her head.
After all, she knew Casimir’s identity, but she hid it from both of them.
She was quite hesitant, wondering if she should tell Abbott.
Suddenly, Abbott said, “I’ve considered your words.”
As a matter of fact, he had called to ask Matthew for his opinion.
“About Stanford James, I won’t get involved. You can carry out your own plan. However, you must keep
the two men outside.”
Amanda understood. When Abbott said he wanted to consider it, actually he meant to ask her parents
for their opinion.
She heaved a sigh. It was all because of her self-esteem.
“Thanks a lot, Abbott,” said Amanda with a smile.
Abbott said seriously, “You can call them in and get to know each other. They both are good at fighting.
They can protect you and help you. If you can’t do anything in person, you can ask them to do it for
you.”
Amanda didn’t refuse, because she knew that if Abbott wouldn’t stay here and help her, she must keep
those two men. Otherwise, he wouldn’t agree to her to take revenge on Stanford all by herself.
She stood up and went to open the door.
