Chapter 21 Beckoning
Just when I didn't know what to do, Gavin suddenly said to me, "It doesn't matter. I told Mr. Moretz that
you were not feeling well these days. I took you to the hospital and brought you back. I apologize to
him for you and he won't blame you anymore."
Looking up at Gavin's eyes, my heart suddenly beat faster.
Gavin had made his words very clear. Mr. Moretz was not a fool either. Of course, he could tell that the
relationship between us was not ordinary.
But why did he do this? I suddenly couldn't understand.
The cup of warm water Gavin handed to me earlier suddenly became hot. My palm was sweaty and I
couldn't even hold it anymore.
I didn't understand Gavin's meaning, but that day he asked me if I liked him or not, and now appeared
in front of me again.
I didn't notice at that time, but now I remembered that he asked me with a serious and focused
expression.
At that time, compared with Gavin at that time and now, suddenly, there was a feeling of illusion. I might
be confused out of fever and looked at him with expectation. I almost blurted out the words "I do".
I quickly shook my head. When Gavin saw me, he said, "What's wrong? Drink some water. You don't
look so well."
I nodded and said slowly, "Thank you. I'll consider going back to work."
"Well, drink some water, or it will get cold."
I raised my cup and took a light sip. Suddenly, I felt a sharp pain at the tip of my tongue. I quickly threw
the glass on the table and shouted, "Hot!" Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.
Gavin looked at me strangely and said, "Is it hot?" Then he picked up the cup and took a sip, saying,
"It's not hot."
I stared at him in surprise. Then I stood up and left without saying a word.
I flagged down a car and urged the driver to go faster. I just wanted to sneak into bed and forgot
everything that happened today.
The driver saw the look of panic on my face and looked into my eyes through the rearview mirror.
"Miss, are you having a fever? Why is your face so red?"
I touched my burning face, smiled apologetically and said."I am not feeling well, so please hurry up."
"It seems that your symptoms are quite serious. How about I take you to the hospital directly?"
"No!" I screamed, and then immediately realized my gaffe and said, "I'm sorry, sir, take me to the place
as I said before."
The driver said nothing and drove quietly. In a short time, he drove me to my home, during which I
didn't feel any uncomfotable.
After going upstairs and entering the door, I still felt that what happened today was too unbelievable.
Gavin once again came to my aid and let my boss know about our relationship. Even if I went back to
work now, what would I do with these stuff?
It was also very clear that my relationship with Gavin was going in a dangerous direction. If it was
impossible for me to resign at work on his behalf, I must move now. I must leave at once, in order not to
cause more unnecessary trouble later. This was because the only way to break my with Gavin was to
stay away from him.
