“If you can’t settle it by then, just let me know and I’ll…”
Grace was interrupted by Lina Sweeney. “You’ve helped me a lot
yesterday, Grace. If it weren’t for you, I don’t think Jason would’ve
have saved me. I started all this mess with Hadwin Stephenson. I’ll
let him let it out on me.”
Lina Sweeney put it mildly, but Grace was still worried. Could it be
that simple?
“Hey, don’t worry. Although I left Hadwin Stephenson without
saying goodbye, I didn’t kill someone or set fire to him, nor do I
have a grudge against him. It was just a… one-night stand. I don’t
think he’ll be too hard on me.” Lina Sweeney reassured her best
friend.
After all, it was already hard enough for her best friend to deal with
Jason. She did not want her best friend to worry about her.
“However, if you have any trouble, do let me know!” Grace
continued. “Even if I’m in no position to help, I can ask Jason.
Maybe he’ll help.”
Grace was visibly embarrassed when she mentioned asking
Jason for help.
Lina Sweeney knew that her best friend must have asked Jason to find her yesterday. How could she not understand what it
were all caused by Jason.
However, in the face of her best friend’s anxiety, Lina Sweeney
smiled and said, “All right, got it.” She only said this because she
did not want her best friend to worry. As for the thing between her
and Hadwin Stephenson, she would take care of it herself.
They continued talking for a while. Grace looked at the time. It
was about time for her to go for the interview, so she got up to
leave.
“Interviewing for a job as a food delivery rider?” Lina Sweeney
asked.
“Yes.” Grace nodded. “I sent my resume two days ago and got a
call for an interview this morning.”
“Good luck, then! I wish you success,” Lina Sweeney said.
After Grace left, Lina Sweeney planned to go to the bus station to
take the bus to the parking lot yesterday to get her car.
Hadwin Stephenson had taken her away so suddenly yesterday.
Her car was still in the parking lot!
Lina Sweeney felt a pang of pain at the thought of the parking fee after parking for nearly a day!
Money was not easy to earn nowadays. Some time ago, her little
design studio said that they would only pay 80% of their salary
every month. The remaining 20% would be paid together with
their year-end bonus. It was a wage reduction in disguise. It was
Lina Sweeney was about to go to the bus station when a car stopped in front of Lina Sweeney.
Lina Sweeney took a look at the car and it gave her the
heebie-jeebies. Was this not Hadwin Stephenson’s car? It was the same car from yesterday!
The car window rolled down and Hadwin Stephenson’s delicate face was reflected in Lina Sweeney’s eyes.
Lina Sweeney unconsciously took a step back, trying to keep her
distance.
Hadwin Stephenson’s eyes narrowed for a moment. Her retreat
was only an eyesore to him.
“Don’t you want your phone?” he said.
She looked at him carefully and licked her somewhat dry lips. “Are you going to give it back?”
