Edward faintly looked at me, then laughed, “Dennis is really quite compassionate, this kind of thing should be the first thing I thought of is, where should let Toby go to buy, should let Linda go to buy, by the way, buy a little bit of medicine for Secretary Shen to apply the burns, the girl’s scars, no matter where they are left is not good.”
Linda stood up and spoke, “Right, I forgot this was to, I’ll go buy it.”
After saying that, a slip of smoke and left.
I looked at Edward, faintly pulled a smile and said, “Thank you!”
He raised his eyebrows, “No!”
When Toby came back, he handed the bag to Sheila and said, “Miss Torres, can I help you with this?”
Sheila shook her head and refused, “No, thank you Toby, I’m fine, I’ll eat in a few minutes, I’ll get it after I eat.”
Linda came back quickly, Toby’s first foot arrived, she followed in, handed me a box of burn ointment, “I’m going to wash my hands first, I’ll apply it to you later!”
Just as she left, Edward took the ointment from my hand, pulled a chair and sat beside me, and said, “I’ll apply it to you!”
What’s wrong with that?
Without waiting for my reaction, he already took out the ointment, which had a cotton swab in it, he squeezed out the medicine, pulled me and put my hand on his lap, and applied it to me.
Linda came out after washing her hands and was shocked to see him applying the medicine to me, “Mr. White, what are you … doing?”
“What’s wrong with it?” Edward looked up, a pair of dark eyes looked at her lightly.
“No, it’s all good!” Linda pulled over a paper towel to wipe her hands.
The atmosphere was a bit weird for a while, the food was ordered but not yet served, Edward concentrated on applying the medicine to me, Dennis was iceberg face, he did not speak, everyone consciously closed their eyes.
I was on pins and needles, being watched by several people, could not help but pinch a cold sweat, but Edward, a face of indifference, as if there is no relationship with him.
The first thing you need to do is to take your hand and blow on it, and you can do it very gently.
This was too ambiguous, Dennis’s grim gaze fell on us.
Sheila asked fittingly, “Do Mr. White and Miss Kennedy live together?”
Edward nodded as if it were natural and said, “Well!”
The two employees of the George Group, not knowing what was going on, spoke up and said, “Mr. White is so good to Miss Kennedy, the two of you look like you have a good relationship, and you can work together and take care of each other, it’s really enviable.”
I don’t know what to say for a while, want to explain, but I’m afraid to say the words, but it seems some intentional explanation.
So silent, good at this time the waiter served food, we all changed the topic.
A meal down, the George Group’s two employees directly to Dennis and Sheila formed a pile.
After the meal, Dennis had a meeting and originally said that he wanted Toby to send Sheila back.
But Toby had other things to do, and Linda directly asked me to send her back.
I didn’t even have a chance to refuse, so I was pushed into the car by Linda.
In the car, Sheila did not open her mouth to speak, she did not say, I naturally will not speak.
After a moment of silence, she suddenly spoke, “You left Dennis because of me?”
I froze for a moment, shook my head and smiled lightly, “No, it has nothing to do with anyone else.”
She held her knees, probably because the air conditioning in the car was too low and a little cold, I pressed the air conditioning and turned up the temperature.
“You’re pretty self-aware, you know you’re not good enough for him, so you left on your own, that said, you’re not really annoying like that.” She opened her mouth, glanced lightly at my raised air conditioning and said, “Thanks!”
I smiled lightly, did not count with her this is, just said, “I will send you to the hospital to see it, twisted twice in a row, may be hurt quite seriously.”
She nodded her head, but not at all politely said, “Okay, you’re fine anyway.”
When she got to the hospital, the doctor said her foot was a strained ligament and she needed to lie at home for a few days, and prescribed medicine and anointing.
“You can take me back later, it’s not very convenient for me to take a taxi!” She spoke.
It is also true that it is not convenient to take a taxi to the hospital, I nodded my head and answered.
In the car, Linda called, “Why did you go so long? What’s wrong?”
“No, I brought her over to the hospital and prescribed medication, you talk to Edward, I’ll be right back.”
“Shit, Clara you are not you have a pit in your head, this woman is stealing a man from you, you take care of her so much, not a brain problem, right?”
The sound of the phone wasn’t too loud, but the people around me could still hear it.
I froze for a moment and looked at Sheila with some embarrassment, she was looking at the scenery outside the car window dazed and somewhat lost in thought.
“Okay, I’m driving, talk to you later!” Hanging up the phone, I continued driving.
“If it weren’t for Dennis, you and I might have become friends.” She suddenly came up with that line.
I froze and looked at her sideways, somewhat confused.
She smiled and said, “Love rivals at least can’t be friends, can they?”
After a pause, she said, “I’m curious as to why you left Dennis, he seemed sincere to you, at least to me.”
“Everyone has their own difficulties, people and people need fate, after two people walk for a while, the fate is over, naturally scattered.” Red light, I stopped.
She pursed her lips and said after a moment of silence, “Clara, probably this is the point, I think I will be happier than you, at least, I will not leave him for anything.”
I smiled and kept my mouth shut.
After sending Sheila home, I went back to the office and Linda brought me a glass of ice water and said, “How was it? Do rivals meet and see each other?”
“No!” I took a sip of the ice water, but I felt very comfortable, the August day is still so hot.
She tsked and sat down opposite me, extra serious, “No, how are you really? Do you really want to do this with Dennis?”
This topic has been tangled for too long, I’m not in the mood to talk more, simply said, “these two days is not the seventh day of the eve to arrive, when we ask Jannings, together with dinner?”
She nodded and after a pause said, “Indeed, the ointment I bought for you today was given to me by Toby!”
“Toby?”
She nodded, “I just went out and met him, Dennis was asking him to go out and buy the ointment for you, and by the way, he bought the ointment for Sheila, and then he met me, and he knew I was buying it for you, so he just gave it to me.”
I couldn’t get past that hurdle in my heart, more tangled than anything else, I huffed slightly and didn’t answer her words.
Seeing my silence, she spoke, “Clara, I do think that no matter what, at least you and Dennis care about each other, right, if so, why do you think so much about torturing yourself? Today you and Edward were so close, and you let Edward rub your medicine, you didn’t even see Dennis’s face, it was so black that it turned into carbon.”
