“Brendon, I was so scared! Luckily, you had Ranita come to save me… I was almost terrified to death.” Shamelessly, Shannon hugged Brendon and rubbed herself against him desperately.
The female manager looked on, feeling awkward, and quickly ran away.
Ranita looked up at Brendon, who seemed a bit guilty. He reached out, removed Shannon’s hands, and created some distance, saying, “Shannon, as long as you’re okay! Go and freshen up, change your clothes, and then we can talk.”
Shannon naturally acted obediently in front of Brendon, nodding softly. “I was a bit scared, Brendon. Can you come inside?”
“Oh, by the way, thank you for having Ranita come to help me! Brendon, it was my fault for causing trouble for you and Ranita!”
After speaking, she glanced at Ranita, her eyes filled with a strong provocation.
A surge of anger welled up within Ranita.
“I didn’t do much to help! Miss Murphy got up on her own, didn’t she?”
Shannon showed no panic, but instead wore a look of grievance. “I was just afraid of bothering Ranita. I’m still in pain, but fortunately, it’s getting better.”
“Brendon, can you check my back later? I don’t know if I have any bruises from the fall.”
Brendon frowned. “If you’re injured, you should go to the hospital!”
Shannon’s eyes immediately welled up with tears. “I don’t want to go to the hospital! If I go, it will definitely become a hot topic!”
“Brendon, I don’t want to waste public resources. Since you love me the most, can you check on me?”
Brendon was at a loss. “Shannon, we’re not married yet, so it’s not appropriate to do this. If you need help, I’ll ask Ranita to check on you!”
As Brendon spoke, he reached out and pulled Ranita.
Ranita was furious and didn’t really want to get involved, but seeing Brendon’s helpless expression, she swallowed her anger and said, “Miss Murphy, do you need me to check on you?”
“It’s better not to… Brendon… I don’t want to trouble Ranita. Besides, it’s late, and she should go back and rest.” Shannon desperately pressed herself against Brendon. “Brendon, there are many private matters between us as a couple, and it’s not appropriate to say them in front of Ranita!”
Ranita listened.
“Brendon, I have something to take care of. I’ll leave first.” It wasn’t that she didn’t want to stand on Brendon’s side, but she didn’t have a position to do so.
Every word and every sentence from Shannon felt like invisible blades, leaving Ranita completely defenseless.
Over the past few years, Brendon was Shannon’s fiancé, and they were a couple, intimate and close.
Ranita turned around and left.
Shannon rejoiced as if she had won a victory. She tightly held onto Brendon’s arm, her watery eyes filled with mist. “Is Ranita angry?”
Of course, she was angry!
Brendon carefully examined Shannon and realized that she seemed to be fine. He said, “You should go back to your room and rest! I’ll contact Cindy to come over.”
“Brendon…” Shannon’s heart trembled, and she said with a grievance, “Can’t you stay with me?”
“I suddenly remembered that I have something to do. You go back and change your clothes, don’t catch a cold!”
After saying that, Brendon went to chase after Ranita.
Just as Ranita entered the elevator, a figure rushed in before the doors closed.
Ranita recognized the person and her heart tightened. She spoke with a tense voice, “Why did you follow me out? Aren’t you supposed to take care of Shannon?”
In a moment, things could turn for the worse. It could be a big problem.
Brendon stood beside her, slightly out of breath from rushing, and looked down at her with fervent eyes.
