NovelEnglishHolding the phone, Finnley looked at Eloise and didn't know what to say.
"Did you hear me?" Ivan thought the signal was bad.
"Yes, | do. | get it." Finnley replied immediately.

It's not serious. Her shoulder was twisted. | might need to ask for a few more days’ leave." "It's not a big deal to ask for leave," Ivan said. "You can spend more time with her. I'll take care of the business." Ivan continued, "well, you go ahead with your work. | have to hang up." then he hung up.
The phone call confused Eloise and Holly. Who was injured? Finnley put away his phone. When he looked at Eloise again, he felt a little sorry and embarrassed.
Seeing her red and swollen face, Finnley realized that he had used too much strength.
When he walked towards her, Holly stood in front of Eloise and begged, "Mr. Russell, if you want to hit someone, just hit me.
Don't slap her again! My lady has never been slapped!" Eloise felt wronged and took a deep breath. She pushed Holly away and stared at Finnley with a frown. "You'd better make it clear to me. Who was kidnapped?" Finnley stopped in front of her. His serious face turned a little gentler.
"That girl was kidnapped, right?" Eloise was even a little happy. "Are you anxious? Are you worried about me? The first person you suspect is me, huh? Finnley, am | so cruel in your eyes?" Eloise questioned loudly, "am I such a kind of woman in your eyes? | admit that I like you, but why should I kidnap her? Can | kill her in legal society? Will you fall in love with me even if | kill her?" Eloise had a clear mind.
She was not the brainless girl. After all, she was the daughter of the Calder family.
"I'm sorry..." Finnley apologized sincerely.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"If apologies work, then why do we need the police?" Eloise covered her red and swollen cheek and continued, "I got the first slap in my life for no reason. If | tell my father, I'm afraid you have to apologize to me with your family!" "You can slap me now," Finnley closed his eyes and said calmly, "as long as you feel happy." "No!" Eloise refused. "You treat me to dinner tonight, and then I'll forget this. | come to Arkpool City alone. Please entertain me as a guest." Finnley couldn't refuse. After all, he hit her by mistake.
"Is it difficult for you to have a meal with me?" Eloise reminded him. "This is the first slap I've received in my life." He knew that she was the apple of the Calder family's eye and had been loved by everyone in the family.
He didn't love her, but he couldn't hurt her... Especially when she didn't make any mistakes.
Finnley didn't want to affect the friendship and cooperation between the two families, so he agreed, "OK, take it as an apology." "I'l choose a place. I'll search online later. Just wait for the notice." Eloise smiled at him with a red and swollen face. "I hope you won't go back to your words. Men should keep their word." Finnley had a house outside, and he didn't drive them away. He thought he should talk about it after dinner.
Eloise didn't ask him to stay, because she knew she couldn't keep him.
"Miss..." Holly felt sorry for her lady. She approached her lady and looked at her face again and again. "I'll get you some ice." Eloise sat down on the sofa. Holly quickly brought an ice pack and helped her apply it to her red and swollen face. "Miss, how do you feel? It must be very painful, right?" "He will pay for this slap," Eloise said coldly.
Holly was confused and asked, "won't you make peace with him with the meal?" Eloise didn't answer. She had her own plan. She held the ice pack and was lost in thought.
