“Ranita!”
Brendon stared at her, “Are you just going to leave like this?”
“And what else should I do? Stay behind to take care of you?” Ranita blinked, a look on her face as if to say, ‘I’ve even hired a caregiver for you, what more do you want?’ This made Brendon feel depressed.
“Aren’t you supposed to stay?” It was now a battle of who had thicker skin.
Pointing to the ice pack on the table, Brendon said, “I can’t do this by myself.”
Ranita sneered.
“Consider it repaying a favor, you don’t want to owe me, right?”
With that said, even if Ranita didn’t want to stay, she had no choice. She put down her bag, picked up the ice pack, and said coldly, “Take off your shirt.”
“Lie down.”
Brendon obeyed, but with his great physique, his strong and hormone-filled torso was exposed without his clothes, making Ranita feel her ears burning.
“What’s wrong?” Brendon looked up at her.
Ranita sat on the edge of the bed, placed the ice pack on his bruised back, and moved it from time to time to avoid damaging the skin, showing great patience.
“Last night… I drank too much, I apologize to you.” Brendon couldn’t remember the first half clearly, but he faintly remembered the second half.
Ranita remained silent.
“Ranita…” Brendon felt frustrated when she didn’t speak, “Say something.”
She had always been like this before, keeping quiet even if she was wronged, like an ostrich burying its head in the sand.
“There’s nothing to say. You said you were drunk yourself and you didn’t do anything.” As Ranita spoke, Brendon’s phone rang.
Ranita helped him with the phone and naturally saw the name on the screen.
Who else could it be apart from Shannon?
“Miss Murphy is calling you.” After saying that, she connected the call for him. Shannon’s sobbing voice came through the receiver, “Brendon, where are you?”
“I don’t feel well. Can you come and see me?” Shannon’s voice choked up as she spoke.
Ranita found Shannon annoying.
Furrowing his brows, Brendon replied, “I’m busy right now. If you’re not feeling well, rest properly. Do you have anything else to say?”
He was being cold and distant.
But Shannon didn’t give up. Her soft voice came through, “Brendon, I understand. I will listen to you and rest properly.”
Upon hearing this, Ranita saw Brendon’s face darken.
Shannon continued, “I didn’t pass out on purpose in the studio earlier. I was just really scared… I’m so useless, causing trouble for Ranita.”
“I want to apologize to Ranita. Can you accompany me?” Ranita couldn’t stand it anymore. She slammed the ice pack on Brendon’s back and said coldly, “Miss Murphy, you want to apologize to me?”
“Ranita?”
“It’s me! There’s no time like the present, so just apologize now!” Ranita said indifferently.
Shannon was just speaking without sincerity, how could she really apologize to Ranita.
But now she was in a dilemma and could only reluctantly say, “Ranita, I didn’t know you were with Brendon… I didn’t know you were here!”
“Aren’t you supposed to apologize? I am in a hurry…” Before she could finish her sentence, Shannon started to sound aggrieved, “Ranita, I’m just… I’m just… I didn’t mean anything by it. I apologize to you now.”
“I have arranged for Cindy to handle things in the studio, investigate the accident, and Cindy will clarify and release a statement online. I won’t make it difficult for Ranita and Steland Monolith Technology.”
