Chapter 144: Crying and Laughing
Valentine’s Day arrived.
Blanche Capra walked into the company early in the morning and saw her colleagues, who came earlier than her, looking at her with big smiles.
Blanche Capra had no idea what was going on and thought the company was giving out another perk. It was only when she got to her desk that she realised what their smiles meant.
A large bouquet of roses lay on her desk.
With all eyes on her, Blanche Capra calmly and easily picked up a pink envelope next to the flowers and pulled out a film ticket and a card.
Blanche Capra flips open the card-
“Happy Valentine’s Day! See a film tonight with Francesca Jones!”
Blanche Capra felt speechless, he would always call during this time, and wondered where he got the number from, and then there was the stopping at the end of the workday, but unfortunately his car was so windy and eye-catching that Blanche Capra wisely avoided it every time.
Add to that the congested lanes at rush hour and he hadn’t had much of a chance to catch her.
And now on Valentine’s Day, he’s up to something new? Blanche Capra thought back to the “couple’s seat” on her ticket and was filled with resistance.
Blanche Capra looked up as everyone around her looked at her with envy.
Blanche Capra puts on her best face and starts the day’s work. The company was having another meeting this morning, so she had to get the information ready as soon as possible, and then SECRETARY Lean had to go through it again before it had to be handed over to the president.
The meeting lasted until noon, and after the meeting was adjourned, when everyone was hungry and still sitting upright, waiting to eat after admiring the president’s appearance, the president frowned and walked over to Blanche Capra’s table.
Blanche Capra tensed for a moment, and everyone else’s brains were tense and they didn’t dare to breathe.
A large hand grabbed the bouquet of flowers next to her desk, and then everyone watched as it was thrown with such precision by the president into the rubbish bin in the corner.
“No such things can appear in the company in the future.” York Charlie’s low voice rang out.
The employees subconsciously nodded their heads, but Blanche Capra, as if she didn’t see or hear it, continued the work in hand with her face as usual.
York Charlie saw her like this heart is angry, tense face back to the president’s office, and said to secretary Lean, “Today’s meeting is particularly large, you take all those reports to her to organise, do not finish organising is not allowed to leave work!”
Secretary Lean of course understood who he meant by “her”, his eyes widened in surprise, “All of them?”
York Charlie coolly swept a glance at him.
Secretary Lean didn’t dare to say another word and hurriedly answered.
Blanche Capra responded painlessly when she received a work assignment from secretary Lean, and was rewarded with a sympathetic look from secretary Lean. It was only when she actually got down to business and started organising that she let out a long sigh.
So much? Guess it’s going to be a long night!
Blanche Capra concentrated on the task at hand, and before she knew it, it was time to leave work, and she began to feel dizzy and nauseous, and her hands and feet were cold, so she got up to pour hot water.
Time seemed to be drawn out, the office became less and less loud and the whole space became quieter and quieter, Blanche Capra turned on the hot water, the sound of the water running was clear and unmistakable. Suddenly, she felt something approaching behind her, and Blanche Capra’s hands went limp with fright, spilling all the hot water from the quilt and pouring it on the back of her hands, scalding them red.
The glass of water also hit the floor and shattered.
Blanche Capra endured the stinging pain on the back of her hand, and turned back to see York Charlie standing there. York Charlie frowned and stared at her hand, Blanche Capra immediately hid her hand behind her back, and bent down to pick up the glass shards on the floor with her left hand.
York Charlie pulled her back, “Don’t pick it up.”
Blanche Capra didn’t listen to him at all, her hand went to the ground, again absentmindedly, and all at once she was cut. As if she couldn’t feel the pain, she still tried to collect the pieces in her palm.
York Charlie saw a bit of red dripping from the floor and suddenly yanked her hand away, pulling her up and shouting, “I said, don’t pick it up!”
He held her hand and looked down to examine the wound, seeing that the inside of her thumb was cut, perhaps near a blood vessel, and blood kept gushing out in shocking quantities.
Wanted to yell at her again, but when he looked up, he saw the teardrops in the corner of her eyes.
No longer able to harden his tone, York Charlie took her injured hand and led her towards his office, “Come on, I’ll take you to get patched up.”
Blanche Capra, however, stood still and refused to move, saying coldly, “I’m not going, I can do it myself.”
York Charlie suddenly felt powerless, “How can you do it yourself? Can’t you bandage your right hand for your left? You come in with me and I won’t do anything to you.”
Blanche Capra then looked down at her left hand and was simply instantly shocked. She didn’t know how just a small cut like that could bleed so much and drop in a puddle on the floor.
York Charlie saw the surprise in her eyes and actually found it funny.
The two entered the president’s office and York Charlie first led her over the sink to rinse it off with cool water, then dry it off, then briefly wrapped it with a band-aid, and he couldn’t help but ask the question out loud, “Did it hurt?”
Blanche Capra froze, he hadn’t spoken to her in such a soft tone in so long that even she couldn’t remember.
They were always hurting each other, getting angry at each other, or just being cold like they had been for the past few days.
Blanche Capra didn’t say anything, and York Charlie didn’t care, finishing with this hand and saying to her, “That hand, show me.”
Blanche Capra still had her right hand behind her back and refused to move it.
York Charlie felt that she was unusually stubborn, so he had to reach out and pull it himself, she couldn’t resist him, so her right hand was pulled to him. Blanche Capra could clearly see that the back of her hand was red, and there were a few small blisters on it.
No wonder it had been hurting so much earlier.
York Charlie glared at her and ran to a nearby cupboard and pulled out a salve for her to apply, it was cool and refreshing, it hurt a little, but it was soothing.Content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
“Blanche Capra, I’m so impressed, you almost wasted two hands in one day.” He said as he applied it carefully.
Blanche Capra didn’t feel embarrassed at all, instead, she murmured in her heart, if it wasn’t because he suddenly appeared and scared him, how would she have this series of accidents?
After applying it, he put away the ointment and put it directly into her jacket pocket, Blanche Capra froze and heard him say again, “What? Nothing to say?”
Blanche Capra was uncomfortable with him, it was his fault, so she opened her mouth and said, “It’s not because of you, if you hadn’t appeared out of nowhere, I would have been burned?”
York Charlie’s eyes diffused a hint of laughter, feeling that she finally came alive, “Well, at first it was my fault, it was me who scared you, but what happened later? I told you not to pick up the cup when it broke, why didn’t you listen to me?”
Blanche Capra glared at him, “Then it’s even more your fault, would the cup have been broken if you hadn’t suddenly appeared? If the cup hadn’t been broken, I wouldn’t have picked it up!”
She said it in such a righteous way, and it seemed to be quite reasonable when logically pushed, York Charlie was a bit crying and laughing, but the shade and stifling in his heart seemed to be mostly dispersed because of these few simple words.
