The two are brothers.
It would be a lie to say that Ruben was not distressed to see his sister cry like that.
But, even though he was heartbroken, he could not consent to her doing such wrong things. So Reuben’s large hand gently stroked Zoe’s back and coaxed her gently.
-Be good, don’t cry. He’s not the only man in the world. I’ll introduce you to more good ones. Besides, he’s not good enough for you, it’s his lack of vision, eh?
Zoe sobbed in his arms, tears streaming down her face, shaking her head all the while, and Reuben could only keep coaxing her.
When at last the girl stopped, looking at Ruben’s arm as she sobbed. The wound was still bleeding, it looked serious and horrible.
-Brother, I’m sorry… I was really too impulsive, does it hurt? -asked the girl.
Ruben stroked her head and smiled bitterly.
-As long as you don’t do anything stupid again, no matter how many times I let you bite like this, it’s not like this little wound is going to kill me anyway.
-Sorry, brother, I won’t do like that again.
When Reuben heard this, the heart that had been hanging in the air was finally released.
-It’s good that you can think about it, that kind of man is not worth it.
-Brother, I’m fine, go heal the wound before it’s too late,” Zoe said, and reached up to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes fiercely, urging Ruben on.
Ruben looked hesitantly behind his back, then said, -Then I’ll go, later I’ll ask someone to come help you clean your room, you go rest first, and take a shower to calm down, then I’ll take you out for a walk and introduce you to more good men.
-Okay, go get the doctor,” Zoe pushed him down the stairs.
As she watched Reuben’s back, Zoe’s poor expression changed instantly, and a cold smile came across her face.
She reached out her index finger, wiped tears from the corners of her eyes.
Her brother was right; if she kept making such a scene, it would serve no purpose, except that it would only make people stare at her. No matter how much she trashed and cried over here, Kennedy wouldn’t see her or like her.
Against this kind of man, it seemed, she could no longer use the old ways of the past.
She still believed in fate, and since God had given her one more chance, she would hold on to it tightly and never let it go.
“Kennedy, wait and see, even if you don’t love me, I will remember your rejection, and make you take the initiative to beg me to marry you.”
Zoe’s smile turned grim as she made up her mind.
The servants hiding in the shadows could not help a shudder at the sight of this scene, and several of them looked at each other and exchanged whispers, -Is the young lady well? That smile a moment ago was scary.
-Who knows? When our young lady has grown up and has not been held in high esteem? I can’t believe she’s been rejected this time, I think she must be very irritated, ugh ……-
-I hope the young lady has recovered quickly, if she keeps throwing tantrums like this, I think we’ll all be too injured later.
-I wish…
***
On the other hand, towards the end of the day, Alice went to the office to deliver the information, and from what Kennedy had told her, she did not stay in the office, but left it and turned to go.
But, Kennedy told her, -Wait for me after I get off work.
Alice’s steps faltered and she looked back at him with some uncertainty.
-What?
Kennedy pursed his lips and narrowed his eyes at her.
-You don’t want to?
-I don’t, then I’ll go out first.
“So you can say I’ve seduced you again.”
-Okay.
When Alice left, Kennedy opened the file and no one noticed that there was still a faint smile on her lips.
Soon it was time to leave work and Alice’s pace slowed a little as she gathered her things and left the secretary’s office, then she looked toward Kennedy’s door.
Kennedy had just told her to wait for him when she got off work, but without saying what kind of wait.
“Should I wait in the office and leave together? Or what about the same wait as before?” she asked.
Thinking about it, Alice thought the latter was more plausible, because although her relationship with Kennedy was now more developed, they had not explicitly stated what their relationship was.
And with Kennedy’s current position, it would inevitably attract criticism if she were to leave the company with him now.
Eventually, this thing would get to Jorge.
As soon as she thought about it, Alice decided to do the same as before and, headed straight for the elevator and headed for the main entrance.
As she was waiting for Kennedy, Alice walked this time slowly, like a walk.
A little later, Kennedy arrived by car. Before he could roll down the window, Alice turned with some excitement and went around to the other side to open the door and step inside.
As she buckled her seat belt, she heard him question in a cold voice.
-Didn’t I tell you to wait for me?
She looked up and met his inky eyes and found a strong look of displeasure in his eyes.
She was a little confused.
-I’ve been waiting, haven’t you noticed I’m walking slowly today?
Kennedy frowned, the expression on her face still one of discontent.
He was speechless.
Alice was really puzzled, she had obviously deliberately slowed down and waited for him, why did this man still look unhappy? After a moment’s thought, Alice reacted quickly.
-You’re asking me to wait for you in the office to go out with you, aren’t you?
The man pursed his lips in a straight line and kept silent, as the answer was an obvious yes.
Alice was speechless for a moment and, after buckling her seatbelt, withdrew her hand and looked away.
-That won’t work, I can’t leave the office with you.
Kennedy instantly tensed his eyebrows at these words.
-What, are you afraid people will see you with me?
Alice nods sincerely.
In fact, she was afraid people would see the two of them walking together, and then there would be no way for her to handle gossip or anything else.
Seeing that the girl had admitted it without hesitation, Kennedy’s frown deepened.
-Are you so afraid of people finding out? I can’t go out with this handsome face like this? Huh?
Alice didn’t want to be with him because she was afraid that George’s side would find out, and she thought of nothing else.
Now that she realized Kennedy wasn’t in a good mood, she knew she might have said the wrong thing.
-“It’s not what you think, I…. -she explained in a panic.
