Let Me Go, Mr. Harvey

“Do you really have to do this to sabotage yourself?” Danis strode up to her and clutched her wrist, “James likes Jessica, not you! Whatever you do is in vain!”

“I know James likes your sister, you don’t have to repeat it.” Angela tried to struggle off his grasp but failed, “Please let me go and don’t keep me from my work.”

There was a flash of light at the end of the corridor. She looked over, but saw nothing.

Maybe she didn’t sleep well and saw an illusion.

Instead of letting her go, Danis gripped her wrist even tighter, “Do you really like James so much? To stay by his side, you don’t even mind working as a cleaner!”

“Whether I like him or not is none of your business.” Angela sneered, “Even if I like you, will you be with a murderer who tried to kill your sister?”

Danis pursed his lips and released her, “Why did you drive into Jessica? James was going to engage with you, and Jessica won’t affect you at all.”

“No reason, I just wanted to.” Angela looked down and said in a soft voice.

She drove into Jessica?

Who knew whether it was her car crashing into Jessica or Jessica was running toward her car?

“How can you be so vicious?” Danis questioned, “You’re Jessica’s best friend and should know that she loves nothing but dancing. You broke one of her legs and ruined her whole life! Do you have any idea how miserable she was in the last two years?”

Angela remained calm, “Why should I care about whether she’s having a painful life or not? Since I’m such a wicked person, I love to see my friend feel sad, and the more she suffers, the happier I am.”

Was Jessica’s pain suffered in the past two years greater than the pain she suffered in prison?

Danis couldn’t believe such words were coming out of her mouth. She had been a bit wild before, but definitely not so vicious. Was this who she really was?© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

“Angela, Danis is a guest, how can you talk to a guest like this!” The supervisor came over, “Kneel down and apologize to Danis!”

Angela looked down at the ground and didn’t move.

“I told you to kneel down, do you hear me?” The supervisor said loudly.

Angela licked her dry lips and knelt down, looking down at her reflection on the ground, “I’m sorry, Danis.”

The floor was just mopped and it was still wet. As she knelt down, the water quickly soaked her work clothes.

Her leg was cold, and with the bruises from kneeling the other day, it was painful now.

Looking down at her, Danis said nothing.

Several guests passing by looked at Angela a few times.

One baby-faced girl couldn’t stand to watch it and came over with a frown, “What’s going on? It’s the twenty-first century, why are people still kneeling for forgiveness?”

Before Danis and Angela said anything, she just pulled Angela up, “Get up!? Why do you kneel as they ask you to? Are you stupid?”

“Raya, don’t butt in!” A man came over, pulled her arm, and turned to Danis, “My friend just arrived in City B and doesn’t know anything. Danis, don’t be mad, I’ll take her away.”

“I’m not leaving! How can he bully a woman?” Raya crossed her arms and stood in front of Angela.

The man was anxious but couldn’t convince her to leave.

“Thank you.” Angela gently pushed her away, “I’m fine, you and your friend can go have fun.”

The girl was kind enough to help her, but she shouldn’t get her in trouble.

“See, she says she’s fine, so why are you messing around in the middle? Let’s go, let’s get out of here!” The man and another woman pulled Raya away by force.

Raya turned her head and shouted at her, “I’m in Box 4502, you can come to me if you need help!”

Angela smiled at her and nodded. When she turned her head, she smiled was gone.

“Just do what you want and I’ll leave you alone!” Seeing Angela changeg her face so quickly, Danis said with a complicated look. He took out a tube of ointment and put it into her hand.

She knelt for so long that day, there should be quite a few bruises on her legs. The ointment was the one he asked someone to bring back from overseas.

Angela didn’t even look at the ointment and gave it back, “I can do whatever I like, and it’s none of your business. I don’t need you to take care of me.”
