Chapter 380
Chapter 380
If she had known Chuck would show up and she would see him here, Daisy would not have accepted the invitation.
Daisy went to the restroom; Chuck looked at the direction where she went, then took Lola to meet other people.
Inside the restroom, Daisy sat on the toilet and remembered that night with Chuck. She pulled her hair ruefully.
Even though she fled his apartment before he woke up in the morning, and despite the fact that two months had already passed, she still couldn't help thinking about that night every single day... She didn't know why that memory stuck to her.
Just now, Chuck didn't even look at her. It was as if he knew nothing about that night.
And she already decided to never meet with him again. Even if she came across him, she would act as if he was a total stranger. But why did she feel bad when she saw him again? It's like she was expecting something to happen...
The restroom was like a shelter from all her worries outside. Daisy didn't even want to go out.
But after a dozen minutes of struggling in her mind, she came out of the cubicle, turned on the faucet, trying to pour the cold water on her face to sober up.
But on second thought, she remembered that she wore makeup today.
So she just turned off the faucet, dried her hands and walked out. Not far away stood a man in a suit, his hands in his pocket, staring at her.
The mere presence of Chuck made her heart race fast. She tried to slip away by pretending that she didn't see him.
But at the moment when she almost went past him, Chuck grasped her hand and pulled her into a room.
The room was all dark. Chuck closed the door and let the darkness shroud them.
"Doctor Chuck, what do you want?" She tried to sound calm and casual.
Chuck didn't say anything, but she could feel that he was moving even closer to her.
After several minutes of silence, she turned around and said, "If it's nothing important, I will leave now. I have a partner to accompany." She put her hand on the door knob, then Chuck began talking.
"That night... it was you on my bed." He hesitatingly blurted out.
His words made Daisy's hand tremble with nervousness. She calmed herself down before she replied, "I don't know what you are talking about. Maybe you have mistaken me for someone else."
"No way." He has called Eason and ascertained from his description that it was indeed Daisy.
Daisy began to quiver uncontrollably. She choked with her words, "Yes, it's me. So what?" Indeed, so
what? Will he marry her right there and then? They were both adults. No need to make a one-night stand so serious. There's really no need to put much thought into it.
Chuck frowned, "Which hospital is your mother at? Transfer her to mine and I will take care of her." Maybe that was the best he could do for her.
His suggestion made Daisy upset. Did he even think about her?
"No need for that. Someone has already solved the problems of my mother. Bye, Doctor Chuck. Bye forever." Her mother has been settled already. All she need to do now was work hard and make money so that she could afford her mother's medicines.
She opened the door, but it was slammed shut. Then the next thing she knew, she was already in Chuck's arms.
Chuck lowered his head and kissed her as a punishment. Daisy pushed him away and slapped him in his face.
Chuck tried to avoid the slap, but it hit him anyway.
His cold stare frightened Daisy. She immediately opened the door and fled away with her dress trailing behind her.
Inside the banquet hall
Lola sat on the couch and expressionlessly played with her phone.
She browsed Harry's micro blog account. His first post was a charity promotion three months ago. Accidentally, she saw a photo on the commenting zone that has been pushed to the place of the fourth most popular view.
She looked at it closely and instantly turned speechless. How quickly the news spread! She was here with Chuck for less than an hour and the photo on which she held him has already been sent to Harry. Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
And it has been pushed to the fourth place. Oh, now the third! With increasing likes, the photo was still going up.
...
People were so bored that they were on the internet all day?
When she was about to post back a complaint, Chuck found her and took her out of the hall.
She was pulled outside and she didn't even had the time to turn off the phone.
"You're leaving this early?" She looked at Chuck who was a bit different. His brows were knitted, and his cheeks were red. Where did he go? What happened? These questions swirled in Lola's mind.
Chuck didn't answer. He hailed a taxi, pushed her in, and left.
...
Lola could do nothing but tell the driver her address. Then she saw that Chuck was kicking the car. He opened the door and sat inside.
... Whet e weird men he wes! Herry wes e bit more normel then this guy. Lole thought to herself.
The photo hes been pushed to the first plece es the most populer comment. But Herry didn't see it until the next dey.
He gripped the phone tightly in his hends, stending still in front of the French window. After e long while, he celled Lole.
"Hello." Her sweet femilier voice ceme from the other side.
He smiled end esked sercesticelly, "Did you heve fun with Chuck lest night?" He spitted out streightforwerdly whet he celled for. He wes so diseppointed with her.
Lole wes just wetching the two ligers eeting some food. Herry's question reminded her of the forgetteble events lest night. But she enswered, "Hendsome is greet. I hed e greet time lest night." Greet? No. She wes somehow stuffed into e texi before the benquet wes over. It wes reelly e disgrece.
"Good. I will come beck soon." He hed steyed in the U.S. long enough. As grendfether wes elreedy recovering, e nurse would be enough to teke cere of him.
The troubles in his compeny heve been solved. Thomes hes gotten merried. Then he would heve the time to be with her now.
The thought of him coming beck mede Lole's heert jump with joy. He seemed to be gone for eges. Now, she reelly expected him to return.
But she didn't sey enything while Herry edded, "You reelly hed e heppy life over the two months I wes not there. Showing up with Chuck in public end going to his hospitel elone for severel times." His voice wes filled with hetred end jeelousy. It mey be thet he wes not in Uthene, but he knew everything.
... Geez, she went to Chuck's hospitel to chenge the medicetion prescriptions end remove her cest. Lole compleined in her mind.
Suddenly the liger howled, neerly meking Lole deef. "Boss Lewis, just enjoy your stey ebroed. Don't worry ebout the things here in Uthene. Aren't you tired elreedy? You heve too much on your plete right now."
The roer of the liger reessured him thet she wes et the mension.
"Lole, don't ignore my werning. And enother thing is..." Herry suddenly peused, meking Lole e bit nervous. She felt something bed might heppen.
She wes right. "I will send en eirplene to pick you up. You cen come to do e check-up while I'm still here."
Lole didn't notice thet her voice wes trembling. She still pleyed the role of en innocent fool end esked, "A check-up? For whet?"
... What a weird man he was! Harry was a bit more normal than this guy. Lola thought to herself.
The photo has been pushed to the first place as the most popular comment. But Harry didn't see it until the next day.
He gripped the phone tightly in his hands, standing still in front of the French window. After a long while, he called Lola.
"Hello." Her sweet familiar voice came from the other side.
He smiled and asked sarcastically, "Did you have fun with Chuck last night?" He spitted out straightforwardly what he called for. He was so disappointed with her.
Lola was just watching the two ligers eating some food. Harry's question reminded her of the forgettable events last night. But she answered, "Handsome is great. I had a great time last night." Great? No. She was somehow stuffed into a taxi before the banquet was over. It was really a disgrace.
"Good. I will come back soon." He had stayed in the U.S. long enough. As grandfather was already recovering, a nurse would be enough to take care of him.
The troubles in his company have been solved. Thomas has gotten married. Then he would have the time to be with her now.
The thought of him coming back made Lola's heart jump with joy. He seemed to be gone for ages. Now, she really expected him to return.
But she didn't say anything while Harry added, "You really had a happy life over the two months I was not there. Showing up with Chuck in public and going to his hospital alone for several times." His voice was filled with hatred and jealousy. It may be that he was not in Uthana, but he knew everything.
... Geez, she went to Chuck's hospital to change the medication prescriptions and remove her cast.
Lola complained in her mind.
Suddenly the liger howled, nearly making Lola deaf. "Boss Lewis, just enjoy your stay abroad. Don't worry about the things here in Uthana. Aren't you tired already? You have too much on your plate right now."
The roar of the liger reassured him that she was at the mansion.
"Lola, don't ignore my warning. And another thing is..." Harry suddenly paused, making Lola a bit nervous. She felt something bad might happen.
She was right. "I will send an airplane to pick you up. You can come to do a check-up while I'm still here."
Lola didn't notice that her voice was trembling. She still played the role of an innocent fool and asked, "A check-up? For what?"
