Chapter 122 What’s Your Relationship With Charlie?
After Huston went out, Evelyn scrambled out of bed, went to the bathroom, turned on the tap, and splashed a handful of cold water on her face.
She needed to cool down. Otherwise, she might have a nosebleed immediately.
However, when she looked up and saw her swollen lips in the mirror, she couldn’t help but feel agitated. Those who knew the truth might assume that she had been passionately kissed, while those who were unaware could easily mistake her swollen lips for a result of getting caught in a door.
The most important thing was… how could she face others when she looked so ugly? This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
Perhaps because their relationship was different from before, she was particularly concerned about her image at this moment.
She had to think of a way to remedy it!
She hurriedly turned around in the bathroom several times and finally filled a little cold water with a tooth mug. She pouted and put her mouth in the water. Although her action was a little ridiculous, it should have some effect.
isted for early seven or eight minutes. Just as her lips were about to cramp, she raised her head and observed. Although it was still very red and swollen, it was much better than before.
She washed up and went downstairs in high spirits in time.
There were two servings of porridge and two sandwiches on the table, along with a plate of fruits in the middle, including grapefruits, strawberries, and avocado.
She hadn’t eaten anything last night, so she was starving. As she sat down, she took a bite of the sandwich. The bread had been baked in advance with butter and it was crispy and fragrant. And the sandwich was full of sauce. Tuna and salad sauce filled the sandwich, creating a delicious and refreshing flavor.
She ate half of the sandwich in one go and ate some porridge. She temporarily filled her stomach with something. When she looked up, she found that the man sitting opposite her had not started eating yet…
She slowly swallowed the porridge in her mouth and smiled awkwardly, asking, “Hey, why don’t you eat it?”
Huston’s expression was still as calm as ever, but there was a smile in his eyes. “If it’s not enough for you, you can eat my food too.”
His tone seemed to be telling his daughter, “Come on, I’ll reward you. As long as you’re happy.”
She withdrew her hand with the spoon. “It’s okay. That’s
enough.
However, she was annoyed that she had caten so rudely just
now…
“Go to the company with me after cating.” Fortunately, he quickly changed the topic.
Instead of wolfing down, she restrained herself and ate as slowly as possible. “Is it convenient for me to go with you?”
She was afraid that it would cause unnecessary trouble for him. After all, the rumors about them were not very good now. Although there were more accusations against Jerry, she was still worried.
He thought that she didn’t want to keep a high profile at first, so he didn’t make things difficult for her. “I’ll drive you there. Let’s go upstairs separately.”
She thought about it and felt that it was feasible. “Okay.”
“By the way,” he suddenly thought of something and asked, “what’s going on between you and Charlie?”
Charlie?
Evelyn was stunned. “What do you mean?”
Thinking that she was deliberately denying it, he put down the cutlery in his hand and gently rubbed his thumb and index finger. “He provided cover for you in the previous exam, and
this time he came to look for you regardless of the danger when the man jumped off the building. Tell me, what’s going on?”
She was not stupid. After thinking about it for a while, she understood what he wanted to say. She shook her head firmly and said, “It’s not what you think. Lawyer Athena is my instructor at work. We have more contact at work, but he can’t have any other thoughts about me.”
Otherwise, why would he reprimand her so harshly? Even if there was some sort of connection between them, she believed it was solely because they were colleagues and schoolmates.
However, as a man, Huston knew best what every action of a man meant. Charlie definitely had a good impression of her, but this stupid woman did not know yet.
