Chapter 589: Testing Selene
Harvey’s face turned as red as a monkey’s bottom; last night had indeed been measured by hand. “Selene, how can you be so shameless for a girl? It’s not small, it’s just thermal expansion and contraction. I haven’t expanded yet…” Harvey got more agitated as he spoke, almost wanting to prove its size. Selene ignored his rambling and walked out.
To Selene, everything outside was new and fresh. They sat down at a breakfast shop near the hospital. Selene glanced at the menu and ordered a basket of steamed buns and a bowl of congee. Harvey seized the opportunity to probe, “Selene, what happened to you? Why were you in the greenbelt last night?”
Selene straightforwardly replied, “I don’t remember, I don’t know.” She was willing to talk because Harvey was the only person she knew at the moment. She also wanted to understand why all this was happening.This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
Harvey muttered, “Could she really have injured her brain?” This was a big deal. Harvey accompanied Selene for breakfast, then helped her buy a new phone and get a new SIM card. Since Selene had no clothes, he bought her several outfits.
Selene didn’t know if she had any money; she couldn’t remember anything about bank cards either. She forgot she had over a hundred million in savings. Every time she spent Harvey’s money, she said, “Put it on my tab; I’ll pay you back later.” She wasn’t the type to borrow money without repaying.
Harvey waved it off, “Forget it, it’s not much money anyway.” Selene saw rental and job advertisements on lamp posts by the roadside. She needed a place to stay and a job. Thinking of this, Selene extended her hand to Harvey, “Lend me some more money to rent a place.”
“You really aren’t shy,” Harvey muttered. “How much do you need?” The rental ads stated that rent ranged from three thousand to five thousand dollars per month; this was the capital of Auroraville, where rent was expensive.
Selene said, “Lend me fifty thousand dollars first. Once I settle down and find a job, I’ll pay you back.” Without hesitation, Harvey lent her fifty thousand dollars. He wanted to see if Selene was faking it.
He accompanied Selene to rent an apartment-a studio-and bought many daily necessities. Harvey was curious all day long. The old Selene had been cold and distant; now she seemed like an ordinary girl trying to make a living in Auroraville.
Harvey wanted to ask Selene if she had saved any money from her previous job as an assassin but seeing that she had forgotten everything, he refrained from mentioning her past occupation.
With everything settled, the next step was finding a job. Harvey asked, “What kind of job do you want?” Selene thought for a moment but wasn’t sure what she could do: “I’m not sure.”
Harvey teased, “I think you’d be good at working for a security company or teaching Taekwondo; you’d definitely be suited for it.” Coming from Celestial Alliance as an assassin, she could definitely fight. Security companies and Taekwondo would be easy for her.
Selene seriously considered it: “Okay, I’ll give it a try.” Harvey was speechless; she really seemed to have brain issues-she was so obedient now.
Remembering Selene’s previous injuries, Harvey laughed and said, “I was joking. How could a girl like you do those things? Why don’t you come work at my company as my secretary? I’ll pay you fifty thousand dollars a month.”
Selene didn’t care what job she did; the fifty thousand dollar salary was very tempting. In one month, she could repay Harvey’s money. “No problem,” Selene asked, “When do I start?”
Harvey was taken aback: “No rush; take a few days off first. You’ve forgotten everything from before; get familiar with your surroundings first.”
Selene said firmly: “No need to adapt.”
Curious, Harvey asked: “Aren’t you worried about forgetting your past? Don’t you want to know why this happened or what your life was like before?”
After pondering for a while, Selene said: “I want to know but can’t remember; I’ll let things take their course without troubling myself.”
Harvey gave her a thumbs up; her mindset and awareness were impressive. Casually he said: “Rest for two days first. Report to my company on Monday. You have my number; call me if you need anything.”
Selene agreed without question: “Okay.”
After settling Selene in, Harvey hurriedly went to find Terrence. He had spent so much time with Selene today not only to test her but also to know where she would be staying so he could find her easily in the future.
At the hospital.
Terrence was alone there; Meredith had taken Little Lucky out and hadn’t returned yet.
Harvey animatedly recounted everything that happened and then asked Terrence: “Boss, do you think Selene is pretending? How could she forget everything all of a sudden?”
