Chapter 189 Not What You Think It Is
When Ivan saw that Austin was going to follow Suny, he hurriedly called out to him in time, "Mr.
Johnson, you have a meeting this afternoon."
Austin looked at Suny's back and glanced at Ivan with some dissatisfaction, "I know."
"I'll be at the meeting this afternoon, so you can get the meeting materials together and email them to
me."
He said, and without looking back, he went after Suny.
It was not Austin's first time on the underground, he just hadn't done it in years and thought he still had
to buy a ticket with change.
So when Suny wanted to pay, he decisively reached out and pressed the "+" sign, so Suny just
watched as the number of tickets jumped from "1" to "2".
She frowned and looked at Austin, not saying anything but stopping to pay.
Had Austin gone crazy now?
Austin was not even half ashamed of being looked at by her, and explained very calmly, "I didn't bring
any change."
Hearing this from him, Suny couldn't help but smile.
She gave Austin a smiling look, then took out her phone and settled the bill using the payment
software.
After picking up the tickets, Suny wasn't polite: "7.5, WeChat or Alipay?"
Austin took out his mobile phone and transferred 7.5 to her, following Suny all the way to the
underground.
At this point, everyone was bending to earning money, and there were really very few people who were
as bored as Austin to follow her experience of taking underground.
In the past, there was no room to stand in the underground during the peak commute, but at this point
there were hardly any empty seats.
Suny deliberately picked a seat for two and put her bag aside, leaving a spot that was obviously not big
enough for another person.
But Austin picked up her bag and sat down beside her.
He was tall and long-legged, and the original spacious two-person seat was so spacious that Suny felt
forced to sit down.
She couldn't help but incline her head to him, "Can't you see any other empty seats with your eyes?"
"You are not there." Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
Austin had a knack.
Suny moved herself to the side, stiffly separating herself from Austin by a distance of almost ten
centimeters.
An hour and a half by metro, the metro station was nearly three kilometres from the villa.
Outside, it was pouring with rain and hail.
Suny called for a taxi for five minutes, and no driver would take the order.
Austin hung up the phone and saw that she was still calling for a car with her phone in hand, "Do you
need help?"
"No need."
She didn't even look at him.
Austin walked back to her and reached out to pull her.
Suny was pulled back two steps by him and looked back at him, "If you move your hands on me again,
I'll call the police."
She said it with all seriousness.
Austin knew that Suny was not joking, the last time Grace and Tina made a scene at her doorstep, she
said she would call the police and she really did.
"It's raining hard, stand in a bit."
Suny looked at the rain that splashed in and didn't say another word.
In this weather, she shouldn't be able to get a taxi.
Suny put away her phone and didn't bother to stare at it.
Austin's car came, the black Bentley was simply a symbol of the rich, and Suny could tell it was his car
at a glance.
The driver came over with a black umbrella and was visibly stunned when he saw her, "Mr. Johnson,
Miss Holland."
Suny responded indifferently and inclined her head, looking at the underground advertisement next to
her.
Austin followed the driver and Suny watched him walk into the rain and mist, thinking that Austin was
probably out of his good temper.
She looked down at her short boots and pulled the corners of her mouth into a cool smile, she just
knew.
"Let's go."
Suddenly, the man who had gone away and returned came back at some point with a black umbrella.
Suny froze for a rare moment, "Where to?"
She looked up, her eyes blank when she didn't react, her pretty face dull but cute.
Austin rubbed his fingers on Suny's face and refrained from doing so, "It's not easy to take a taxi, I'll
take you back."
Suny glanced at the roadside, "Thank you."
The umbrella was not small, but it was not big enough for two people.
Suny was still trying to keep her distance from Austin, and had just taken a few steps when her
shoulders suddenly heaved: "It's raining heavily."
He had a good reason, and Suny gave him a look, but didn't say anything.
The heater was turned on inside the car and Suny got into the car and her cold downed hands and feet
gradually warmed up.
Austin handed her a handkerchief. Suny suddenly remembered that year, when she was pushed into
the water, Austin rushed over and also put a handkerchief from his pocket, only the handkerchief was
not handed to her, but to Tina's friend who pushed her into the water.
Her heart was hot that day when she saw him come over, hot when she saw him pull out his
handkerchief, but when he handed it to someone else, she instantly felt like being drenched in cold
water in the middle of winter.
Suny's face turned cold and she didn't take his handkerchief, but took a tissue out of her bag and wiped
the rainwater on her hands before looking down and wiping her boots.
These boots were still the ones Alicia brought her when she went to Paris, she heard they were made
of pure leather, and with that rain yesterday and this one, these shoes were almost ready for the trash.
Suny's mood changed in a second.
Austin could feel it clearly, and he inclined his head to look at her, the smell of Suny's body was all over
the inside of the narrow carriage.
He remembered the way she had fallen asleep against him on the plane just now, and Austin said, "I
haven't given this handkerchief to anyone else."
In fact his handkerchiefs were almost always disposable and he had long since thrown away what
others had used.
Austin thought she cared about that.
Suny looked at him and let out a laugh, "Do you remember the night of Master Murray's birthday three
years ago, when Tina teamed up with her best friend to push me into the swimming pool?"
Austin's face stiffened for a moment, his eyes lowered and he collected the remorse under his eyes,
"Yes."
"I had just been pulled up from the pool the other night and watched you walk up from inside the crowd
and I thought you were walking towards me and to be honest, I was kinda indisputable at the time and
instantly felt like forgiving you for all the disregard and bad things you had done to me before."
"I was even on the verge of tears when you pulled out your handkerchief. It's a pity that your
handkerchief wasn't for me."
How naive she was at the time, thinking that he was actually thinking of her as his wife and coming
over to hand her a handkerchief to wipe the mess on her face.
But when the handkerchief was handed to Tina's best friend, she even wanted to turn around and jump
back into the pool to clear her head.
What happened that day also occurred to Austin, he looked at the cool smile on the corner of Suny's
mouth and spoke somewhat feebly, "Although I did let you down that night, but I passed the
handkerchief, it wasn't what you thought."
He said, after a pause, "I just thought it was a bit unpleasant to see that woman with her make-up in a
mess as she spoke looking at me."
But it was undeniable that he did simply ignore Suny that day.
"I'm sorry."
His fault.
