“Sorry, but | gave her the last bottle.” Finnley showed her the empty box. “I'm also out of it.” Linda felt disappointed but didn’t show it on her face. With a smile, she said, “It's alright. Sorry for interrupting, Mr. Russell.” Then she turned away.
She guessed Finnley would give a bottle to her if he still had one.
As she thought affirmatively, she believed she must take the initiatives to gain his heart.
Dusk.
Finnley went to the vice president's office and knocked on the door. “Mya, time to go home.” He had been waiting for this moment for a whole day.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtMya darted at the door with a lollipop in her mouth. “All right. A moment, please.” Then she hurriedly packed her desk and left.
‘Where are they going? What are they going to do?’ Linda wondered, watching Mya trot to Finnley. Then they exchanged a smile and went toward the elevator together.
Linda tossed her pen away, bowing her head, feeling frustrated.
“Are you sure you can cook?” Mya asked expectantly in the elevator.
Finnley looked proud with his hands in the pocket of his trousers. “Why don't you have a try?” “I look forward to your dishes, Chef Russell. It's my pleasure.” Amused, Finnley laughed.
The entrance of the Marsh Group.
Shirley was sitting in a car that wasn't eye-catching. Wearing sunglasses, she gazed at the company entrance and waited for Mya.
Shortly after, a man and a woman appeared in her sight.
Shirley recognized it was the young man who came to work with Mya this morning.
She took off the sunglasses, gazing at them without blinking.
Then Shirley watched Mya sit in the white Maybach with Finnley, who opened the door of the passenger's seat for her and protectively let her sit in. They looked like love birds indeed.
Soon, the Maybach moved, heading to Shirley's car. Shirley dodged in the shadow and told the driver in a low voice, “Follow that car. Don't get lost or attract their attention.” “Yes, Mrs. Saunders.” The driver started the engine.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter the white Maybach left the company, so did Shirley's car.
Shirley put the sunglasses on her nose, holding her breath gingerly. She gazed at the car ahead, her mind jumbled.
‘Where are they going? They dated before going to work and will date after work as well. Didn't Mya tell me she stayed in Emerald Bay? Why does she seem to head to another place? The direction is utterly different...’ In the Maybach, Finnley didn’t notice the stalking behind.
“Is tonight the last night you stay in my apartment?” he asked to ensure, but he didn’t know why he did it.
“I can't tell you certainly,” Mya answered randomly. “I feel too stressed when staying home. Youngsters don't like staying so close to their parents nowadays. So, I'll stay out from time to time.” “I can buy a bed and make my study the guest room.” Finnley had this idea for a long time but didn't tell her before.
Mya looked at him in surprise. “Do you mean... you are willing to take me in?” “It's better than staying at the college dorm, isn't it?” Finnley was driving carefully. “It's inconvenient for you to rent an apartment and stay there alone. Even if you bought an apartment, you would stay there by yourself. It wouldn't be safe, either.” Mya nodded and echoed, “That's a good idea. It's really nice of you, Finnley. You are my reliable best male friend. Girls are sometimes too petty and troublesome. | like being with guys.” ‘Best male friend?’ Finnley realized he was just a friend to her, feeling a little bit upset.
“By the way, what would you like to have for dinner?” Finnley changed the topic. “Shall we go to the wet market or the supermarket?” Mya thought for a moment and asked, “Are you good at making soup? | want to have mushroom and lobster.” “I cannot make it, but | can learn from videos on YouTube. | can cook whatever you want for tonight.” “It's super nice of you!” Mya laughed joyfully. “I envy myself. Haha!” In the car stalking them, Shirley was anxious, wondering where they were going.
When the Maybach stopped in front of a supermarket, Shirley's driver stepped on the brake gently.
Then the two front doors of the Maybach were opened. Finnley got off with Mya. Over a thousand guesses flashed through Shirley's mind.
