Chapter 12 Everything Will Be Fine Tomorrow
Enrique said this with great talking skill. He seemed to offend no one by saying this, but he also meant to blame Teresa.
But on second thought, he asked Teresa to prove that she didn't steal anything. That was not easy to prove.
Yilia already said that by looking at the surveillance, Teresa was the only one who's been to the 18th floor. She was a newcomer, and no one knew her, and she had few friends. Of course she was suspected first.
Although the property had not been found yet, in everyone's eyes, she was unable to escape.
After consideration, Yilia nodded and said, "Okay, I'll do as you say."
After hearing Yilia's respond, Enrique turned to look at Teresa and asked, "Miss Gu, do you agree with my arrangement?"
Teresa opened her mouth, trying to say something, but hesitated. "Yes," she answered in a low voice.
"Then it's a deal. I'll give you one day, and if you can prove your innocence for one day, I'll treat it as if it never happened. If not, I can only hand you over to the police according to the company's rules and regulations."
After finishing his words, Enrique did not look at Teresa and turned away at once.
After giving Teresa a cold glance, Yilia left with her subordinates.
Teresa slumped into the sofa behind her, and her mind was in a mess.
She recalled that the reason why she went to the 18th floors was because she met someone in the hallway. She asked the person where the canteen was, and the person told her that it was on the 18th floor and she went there.
Now she thought about it carefully. Why would that person tell her that the canteen was on the 18th floor? Did he just want to play tricks on her or deliberately lure her there to make mischief?
What was that person's identity and what was his purpose?
For a moment, Teresa didn't know what to do.
She sat there and thought for a long time, but it turned out that she got nothing in the end.
Suddenly, Teresa felt very helpless.
It was her first day in the company. If she couldn't find out the truth and was taken to the police station, it was very likely that she could not hide her identity anymore...
After spending the whole day in deep worries and anxiousness, Teresa generally clocked out and went downstairs, while a low-key black car stopped at the gate of the company.
The driver said to her respectfully, "Miss Gu, Mr. Shen has a dinner tonight. He asked me to pick you up."
It turned out that he was the driver of Enrique.
Teresa slouched into the car, returned to the villa, and sat on the couch, thinking of what had happened today. The servant prepared dinner for her. It was clear that she had been hungry all day, but she had no appetite at all.
The villa was quiet at night.
The servants also went to rest after finishing their duties.
Teresa was still sitting on where she was. The faint moonlight covered her with a light silver coat.
She was a typical southern beauty. She was not very tall, and her skeleton was small and she was very thin. She looked very thin sitting there.
When Enrique walked through the door, he saw this scene.
All of a sudden, a faint, indescribable feeling rose from the bottom of his heart.
He felt his heart skipped a beat at the sight of it. He frowned and walked up to Teresa. "It's so late. Why are you still sitting here?" he asked.
Teresa was still thinking about the missing of the jewelry. At this time Enrique's voice pulled her mind back, she shook her head and answered, "Nothing..."
After a pause, she asked him in a husky voice, "Mr. Shen, if I can't prove my innocence, are you really going to call the police and hand me over to them?"
After hearing what she said, Enrique slightly raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's wrong? Are you afraid of it? Or are you feel guilty?"
Teresa shook her head. "I didn't steal Miss Candy. I'm not afraid of it at all. I just think that human beings are really complicated..."
"I didn't do anything. I don't know why someone hated me and wanted me to fall from the ground so badly. I didn't steal anything, but no one believed me. Even you suspected me..."
Hearing Teresa's words, Enrique tightened his lips and said gently, "Don't think too much."
Teresa kept saying, "I know you're just following the rules of the company, but I still feel a little uncomfortable. I don't want to work at TH Group at all. It was you who asked me to do so. Now I'm here, but you handed me over to a stranger."
There was a hint of grievance in her tone.
For some reason, Enrique's heart was softened.
He couldn't help but doubt whether it was right for him to do so.
But this idea only lasted for a short time, so short that he couldn't catch any of his thoughts.
He patted Teresa's shoulder and continued, "I believe you. I asked you to find evidence to prove your innocence. I didn't call the police immediately because I trusted you."
"You are lying!" Then Teresa wrapped her arms around her knees tightly and continued, "You colluded with Yilia to torture me!"
Looking at the sad and wronged side face of Teresa, like a little dog abandoned by its owner, Enrique's eyes became much warmer, but he was not aware of it himself.
After Teresa gave vent to her pent up anger, she felt a little relaxed. She yawned and leaned against the sofa, which made her fall asleep unconsciously.
Enrique waited a moment to see that whether she want to continue talking. Then he heard a slight grunt. He turned his head and saw that she was curled up on the sofa and asleep!
She really looked like a little puppy now.
With a deep sigh in his heart, Enrique picked Teresa up and put her on the bed in the guest room, tucking her in.
The sleeping face of Teresa seemed extremely quiet in the dim light.
Teresa's face is not the one that looks amazing at first sight, nor the Internet celebrity's face.
Her eyes were big, round and wet, like the eyes of a small animal. Her nose and mouth were very small, and her chin was not sharp, with a little baby fat. She looked normal at first glance, but the more she looked, the more beautiful and good-looking she was.
Enrique stood at the head of the bed and looked at her. It took him a long time to come back to himself, and then he whispered in her ear, "Don't worry. Everything will be fine tomorrow."
He suspected the identity of Teresa so he didn't help her clarify it during the day on purpose to see if she could hold back her anger and not reveal her identity. Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
But Enrique could not bear to see her so sad and helpless.
'Maybe she is just an ordinary girl without any hidden identity?
Or, was she really hiding something? She would not let anyone know even if she was sued to steal?'
No matter what the reason was, Enrique had never thought of sending her to the police station.
Enrique left the guest room cautiously. Then, he called Tony and ordered, "Send all the monitoring materials of the 18th floor yesterday to me. Remember, all of them! Don't miss a millisecond!"
