She didn’t know what to do. Seeing that Manfred kept wanting to scratch the rashes, Selina held his hand.
“Don’t scratch it, or else it might leave a scar.”
She turned around and returned with a bucket of warm water. She twisted the towel and wiped his face. Then, she realized the rashes weren’t only seen on his face, but all over his body.
The rashes were densely packed, so it looked scary.
“You’re not stung by a bee, are you?” Selina frowned.
Manfred deepened his gaze. He recalled Bonnie pouncing on him while he wasn’t paying attention, so he felt extremely pissed. Of course it was a bee, a terribly scary bee.
“Don’t be angry!” Selina quickly pressed his narrowed eyebrows.
“You shouldn’t feel annoyed or pissed; otherwise your rashes would become worse.”
“It’s itchy!” Manfred frowned as he was clearly unhappy. He had always been indifferent and would never show his weakness. Selina felt hilarious to see him behaving like a cute little child.
“Even so, you still can’t scratch it!”
Selina put down the towel in her hand and pointed to the region where he said it itched. She brought the ice over, and carefully placed her fingers on it. It was not until her fingers felt chilly that she gently pressed the ice on the region where Manfred felt itchy.
Manfred couldn’t help but narrowed his eyes. He felt the coolness through her fingers, as if it was directly penetrating from his skin into his heart. It was just like eating an ice cream in summer.
“Here too.”
“Okay!” Selina said helplessly. Her tone was soft, as if she was coaxing a child.
Not long after that, Manfred had finally calmed down. However, he still looked ghastly. It seemed that he was still pissed.
Selina kept pressing on the region that he felt itchy. She thought of a joke that she had heard when she was still a little girl, and slowly told Manfred about it.
When she finished telling him the joke, Manfred did not laugh. Selina felt dejected, so she stretched out her hand to scratch Manfred’s neck, “Can’t you laugh at my joke?”
“It’s not funny!” Even though he said that, the corner of his lips still tipped into a smile when he turned around.
Lawrence heard that Manfred had fallen into a trap, so he quickly followed Osborn here. He came a little late last time, and Manfred almost overturned his entire house.
As soon as they entered the door, the scene that they were expecting did not appear.
The room was neat and tidy. Manfred was peacefully lying down over there while Selina gently gave him a massage behind him. Furthermore, there was a smile on Manfred’s face?
Lawrence was astonished.
He rubbed his eyes, then turned around and said to Osborn, “Could you give me a punch?”
Osborn couldn’t believe his eyes as well, so he didn’t hesitate to give Lawrence a punch. The next second, both of them were feeling so much pain that they gritted their teeth.
“It’s not a dream!”
It was indeed real. All these years, it was the first time Manfred had let a woman to touch his rashes without getting angry. In fact, he was smiling?
Their actions attracted Selina’s attention, so she quickly released her hand and got up, “You’re here? Did you bring any medicine?”
Only then, Lawrence reacted and hurriedly brought the medicine to the couch, “This is what the doctor has prescribed previously, apply this on…”
He suddenly stopped talking.
Selina asked hurriedly, “What’s wrong?”
“I don’t think it’s necessary anymore,” Lawrence said. “He’s fine now!”
“He’s fine?” Selina didn’t believe him. She saw red rashes all over his body earlier, how could he recover suddenly? However, she followed Lawrence’s gaze and realized that the rashes on Manfred’s body were all gone now?
There was none left! She was so busy telling him jokes just now that she didn’t pay attention to it. Since when did it recover?
Manfred was also startled. He only paid attention to Selina’s jokes earlier that he didn’t realize he had already recovered.
“This is too mystical! Sister-in-law, you’re really my brother’s lucky star!”
Selina, “… What did you call me?”
“My sister-in-law!” Lawrence was really amazed. A woman who could handle Manfred was definitely an expert!
“Maybe there’s a mistake somewhere?” Selina didn’t believe that she had the capability to do this anyway. She wasn’t a doctor.
“That’s possible too, but anyway, this is still a good start.”
Osborn was also very excited, “That’s right, Mrs. Gordon. We would be extremely relieved that Mr. Gordon is in your care!”
After saying that, Osborn directly pulled Lawrence out.
Selina, “…” Sister-in-law? Mrs. Gordon?
When Selina and Manfred were left in the room, she smiled embarrassedly, “They were simply addressing me. Don’t be angry.”
“Why should I be angry? Besides, it sounds really nice, isn’t it?”
Selina, “???”
She thought that Manfred was in a good mood after he had recovered, so she changed the topic, “Do you still want something to eat? I’ll make it for you!”
“I want to eat you.”
Selina quickly ran away, “… If I knew this would happen earlier, I wouldn’t scratch it for you!”
“It’s too late!”
The next day, Selina slept until late in the morning. As soon as she got up, she received an interview notice.
She didn’t expect that the Cornell Group would call first and told her to attend an interview in the afternoon. Selina quickly got up and tidied herself up. She didn’t have time to eat, so she directly went to the Cornell Group.
Operating under the name of the Cornell Group, Long Peace Group had regained its business in just half a month’s time.
When Selina entered the building, it was as if she had returned to the glorious moment of Long Peace Group previously.
…
In the interview room…
The interviewers nodded with satisfaction listening to her answers. Especially since Selina personally had a good image, it was easy for her to make a good impression.
In the last round, the interviewer sitting in the middle had a question for her.
“Ms. Jones, why do you wish to work here?”
This question…
Selina couldn’t think of a better answer, and she answered truthfully, “I believe Long Peace Group could be a place for me to make a fresh start in life.”
“You’re recruited!” The man smiled gently.
She glanced over. Why did she feel that this man seemed a little familiar?
However, her thoughts had been taken away by the joy of getting recruited by the Cornell’s Group. She felt extremely happy that she could work here at Long Peace Group.
She stood up while suppressing her emotions and shook hands with the interviewers, “Thank you.”
She left after they informed her about the working hours here.
While she was walking away, someone stopped her, “Selina!”
Selina was startled. She turned around and realized it was the interviewer who was gently smiling at her earlier. She thought he had some business affairs to tell her, so she stood straight and looked solemnly at him.
Unexpectedly, the man smiled.
“Ms. Jones, you’re really forgetful. It’s been just a few days, and you’ve forgotten me already?”
Selina was even confused, “You are…?”
“Revolving restaurant.” The man hinted.
“Oh!” Selina realized he was the man that she accidentally bumped into when she came out of the bathroom at the revolving restaurant a few days ago.
She didn’t expect her that they were actually the same person. She quickly felt sorry and smiled, “Hello, sorry that I couldn’t recognize you.”
