Telling Lies, loving you

Chapter 108 A Shell Game

"Michelle, why do you..."

At this moment, a large part of astonishment was shown on Olivia's face.

"Mom, it's not what you think. We are just friends. " She knew that her mother misunderstood their relationship again.

"Really? You said the same words last time. But what happened then? " Scott was the one whom Olivia liked. No matter what he did, it was the past.

For this new man, Olivia felt things were not as simple as she thought. But she didn't know much about the world of young people, so she had to stay aside and watch.

After dinner, Walter left without staying any longer. After Michelle saw him off, she let out a sigh of relief, turned around and went upstairs.

However, she did not know that when she turned around and went upstairs, the white off-road vehicle was slowly driving in again from the outside of the community.

"Mom, I'm going to work now!"

That was how life was like. She repeated the same thing every day: going to work, eating and sleeping. As time went by, the regular repeating had gradually become a habit.

As soon as they came out of the stairway, she saw the door of the off-road car open. Startled by Walter, Michelle widened her eyes and exclaimed, "Walter? Why are you here? "

Walter got out of the car with severe dark circles under his eyes. He didn't sleep well last night.

"You won't stay here the whole night, will you?" Suddenly, the idea came to her mind. She asked tentatively.

With a silly smile on his face, Walter replied, "no, I just got up early this morning." He said that on purpose, because he wanted Michelle to be more comfortable. He had indeed stayed in the car for the whole night. It was the first time that he had slept in the car. No matter what position he had changed, it was not comfortable.

"Oh, I see. I can go to work by myself. You don't have to pick me up. " Now that he said so, Michelle would feel better. However, she was unable to get a sure answer from his eyes, but she also knew the purpose of his coming.

"Look, I'm here." He was afraid that she would turn him down.

Michelle had no choice but to accept his kindness.

The car was parked at the entrance of the company. Every car was eye-catching. There were too many gossips about the people in the car.

"Look! The car has been changed. I don't know how many times it has been replaced. Look at her. "

"I am really curious how on earth did she hook up with a man. She doesn't even know how to dress? I heard someone saw her hook up with our CEO. "

The crowd were standing at the front desk and chatting with each other. But their voice was a little loud, which was heard by Michelle who came in. Without saying anything, she walked towards the elevator with her head down.

Workplace was like a battlefield. There were always some people who would be bullied by people.

Everyone was not surprised that Scott did not come to the company today. With such a gorgeous woman by his side, how could he be willing to leave?

However, the person in charge of F City had no idea whether she was here for work or for a relationship. Rachel had never been away from Scott.

Sitting in her office, Michelle quickly typed on the keyboard. Although Scott was not in the company, life had to go on. There were still endless works in her hands.

In fact, they all could go out for lunch at noon. Of course, they could go back home if they stayed close to home. However, she didn't want to waste the money. It was just two dollars for her to take the bus and it was four dollars after return. If four times among a day, the price would be eight dollars. Then she might preferred going out to buy a bowl of beef noodles.

Michelle packed up the files on the table and closed the door before she left. Then she turned around and walked towards the elevator.

But when she just stepped into the elevator, her phone rang.

She looked down and saw it was Walter. "Hello?"

She hesitated for a while before picking up the phone. She didn't know what his purpose was. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

"I'm in front of your company's building. Do you have time for lunch?"

At this time, Walter was standing in front of the building of the Jiang Group. He held his cell phone in his hand and looked up from time to time at the position on the top floor of the company as if he saw someone standing there.

After hesitating for a while, Michelle finally accepted his request since he was here.

At lunch, they ordered several dishes and a seafood soup in a restaurant which was close to the company.

The meal was a little tasteless for Michelle. It was a shop opened by a Northern man, with a mild taste. Michelle liked the Sichuan style, because her father born at that place. Perhaps she had been accustomed to the food cooked by her mother since she was a child, now she could even say that she ate everything spicy.

Seeing that she was not enjoying the food, Walter asked, "What's wrong? Are you sick? "

Raising her head, she shook her head at him. Then she continued to pick up food with chopsticks. Walter had lived abroad since he was a kid. He wasn't used to spicy food. Even worse, he couldn't stand any pepper.

So he picked some food according to his taste.

After lunch, while it was still free, they went to the cafe and each ordered a drink. It was a little hot in C City at this time. It would be better to have a cold drink.

"Generally speaking, girls are supposed to order milk tea or something like that? Do you like drinking lemonade? " Walter didn't know how to please a girl, so he tried his best to be nice to her. At this moment, he finally found a topic.

"I also like pearl milk tea, but I suddenly like sour things recently." Michelle stirred the lemon juice with a straw, looking very calm.

"Aren't you busy with your shop?" Michelle looked up at him doubtfully.

"It's my own shop. So I'm free," Walter said casually.

"That's true." In the past, Michelle also wished she could own a shop. In that case, she wouldn't have to work for others every day.

Her store would open when she wanted it, but closed when she didn't want. She lost herself in thought again.

As if Walter could read her mind, he continued, "if you want to open a shop, I can sponsor it."

His words undoubtedly hit Michelle's heart. But she didn't want his help.

"Thank you for sending me back. Be careful on the way." There were only five minutes before the working time, Michelle's tone could not help but be a little anxious. After saying that, she left without looking back.

Sitting in the car and watching her walking away, Walter took out his phone and dialed a number. "Scott, come out for dinner tonight. It's my treat."

After work hours, Michelle's phone rang, making her ready to go out with her bag in hand.

She looked at the caller and directly turned off the voice. She didn't want to answer it.

She walked out of the company. Fortunately, Walter's car was not there. She was afraid that he would call her later, so she quickened her pace to the bus stop.

"Michelle!"

As soon as she stopped thinking, there came the voice of Walter behind her.

'oh no!' she thought to herself, but she still stopped walking. Walter made his way to the car slowly and leaned forward with half of his face exposed. "Get in the car," he said.

"What? No, thanks. I can take a bus home and buy some food by the way. " Without thinking too much, Michelle turned him down. She was well aware of his kindness.

She doesn't like such kind of friends who are too enthusiastic.

What's more, he once said that he had someone in his heart. Wasn't he afraid that the girl would misunderstand him if he did so?

"Let's go."

Michelle had no choice but to open the door and get in due to other's pressure. On the way, Michelle looked out of the window and felt something wrong.

This was not the way she could go home!

"Where are you taking me, Walter?" In panic, she put her hands on the back of the chair, her eyes full of fear.

Walter didn't say anything. He parked the car by the side of the road, turned off the engine, and went to open the back door.

Michelle got out of the car slowly and looked up at the high-level restaurant in front of her. He did bring her to eat, but she had no interest in the food in this place.

"Why do you take me to this place?" At this moment, she looked a little angry. After saying that, she turned around and was about to leave.

"Sorry, I lied to you. But I have an appointment with my friends. They all have female companions. I only know you in this city, so I brought you here. I'll drive you home now if you don't want to. " Walter was flustered too. He wanted to open the car door.

"No need. Now that you are here, just go in. But don't do this again next time. " Michelle knew that he meant no harm, so she simply agreed. Before that, she called her mother and told her not to wait for her.

After all, Walter was a well-educated man. When they arrived at the designated place, he gently pulled out the chair for her. Michelle did not refuse. She went over and sat down.

It was a small table with only four chairs in the hall.

"Hello, can I help you?" Just then, a waiter from the store came over.

After she gave a glance at Walter, she opened the menu and read some kinds of coffee. At last, she closed the menu and handed it to the waiter. "Give me a glass of water, thank you."

As soon as the waiter left, Walter stood up and shouted to the direction of the door, "Scott, there."
