Looking at Laura's white and smooth skin on her shoulders, Chris's eyes darkened. He then quickly looked away.Laura noticed that Chris wasn't looking anymore, so she quickly put on her jacket and said with a red face, "Alright, I'm done.""Okay." Chris turned back around and passed the small bag in his hand to Laura. "There's medical cream inside, you can apply it to your wounds."Laura looked down and saw that it was a cream to reduce swellings.She bit her lip and said, "Thank you."She was going to put some ice on the wounds at first to reduce the swelling.Chris frowned. He was a little dissatisfied with Laura saying thank you to him. "We're married. You don't have to say thank you to me."He remembered that he had told Laura this before. She didn't need to say thank you to him. Why couldn't she remember?It would be a lie to say that Laura wasn't touched.A man appeared to her rescue when she was in danger and protected her. After that, he was worried about her injuries
Laura smiled, but didn't comment on Shannon's words.However, she had to admit, that Chris did treat her quite well.Shannon had been keeping an eye on the store during the whole of lunch, Laura allowed her to get off work early to rest.As soon as Shannon left, Laura's phone rang.She looked at the caller ID and fell silent. But in the end, she chose to answer the call."Dad.""Laura." Nicholas's voice sounded on the other end of the line.Laura pursed her lips but didn't say anything. She waited for Nicholas to speak."Laura, you don't need to come back to the Walker family's house in the future."To Laura, she felt that Nicholas was the only person in the Walker family that would speak up for her. But his first words made Laura want to cry. Tears trickled down her cheeks."Your brother's currently in the hospital. The doctors said that he would be hospitalized for a week." There was a short pause. "Get your husband to come and apologize to your brother when you have time."
"I was around doing some business and I thought I'd drop by. Also to tell you there's an Alumni gathering tonight. Are you coming?"Laura pulled a chair over and gave Emily a bottle of water."I'm alright, thank you. I'll be leaving soon. Liam's still waiting for me at the cafe." Emily took the water. When she mentioned Liam, a smile appeared on her face. "You don't check your WhatsApp a lot, do you? The Alumni gathering was mentioned a few days ago, but you didn't reply."Laura was still in the group chat, but she turned the group chat on silent and she would rarely read the chat history either."I really didn't pay attention," said Laura.She was a little tired today and didn't really want to go.Emily probably could guess that Laura was going to turn her town, so she quickly said, "Laura, you can't turn me down. This is a rare occasion. I've heard that Prof. Wilson's going to be there as well."When Laura heard that Prof. Wilson was going to be there, her eyes lit up."Prof.
"Laura has a gathering to attend. You can help keep an eye on the store for her. Is that alright?""Yeah, sure. It's definitely fine."How could there be a problem since Chris had given the word?Chris nodded. "Okay. Make sure you wear a cap and face mask when you go down. Don't let her recognize you."After all, to Laura, Assistant Jacobs was the CEO of the Jacobs Group and Chris was the assistant.Assistant Jacobs nodded and he headed downstairs with Chris just before seven o'clock.He was wearing sunglasses, a black face mask and a black cap.When Laura saw him, she was taken aback.She suddenly felt that it wasn't alright to leave the store to this guy.Assistant Jacobs was afraid that Laura would recognize him, so he quickly entered the store.Chris had the car keys in his hand and lowered his head to look at Laura. "Let's go.""Okay." Laura looked away, picked up her bag and walked out of the store with Chris.Chris gave Laura a lift to the entrance of the club. When
Prof. Wilson didn't move.Laura wasn't frustrated either. She was just about to place the cup in front of Prof. Wilson when a sharp female voice sounded at the door."Hey, isn't this Laura?" A woman wearing a slim-fit black dress was standing at the door. Her hair was slightly curled and dyed brown, which hung loosely behind her. She was wearing makeup and was holding a luxury-branded bag. "What? Are you pouring Prof. Wilson some tea? Is he not accepting it? Why are you still trying?"Someone recognized the girl."Isn't that Jasmine Clinton? The bag that she has in her hand costs over 20 thousand dollars!""Jesus Christ, Jasmine! We haven't seen you for a year and you've become a rich woman!""I think Jasmine's married. I think she married the son of an affluent family, right?"People who were familiar with Jasmine began talking to her.When Jasmine recognized Laura, Laura recognized her as well.The two of them used to be in the same class during university. They weren't on g
Emily looked back at Jasmine with a smile. "Thank you for your concern, Jasmine. Liam and I are now in a relationship. We're very happy and we'll be married soon. However, Jasmine, why haven't I seen you post anything about your husband or your wedding on Twitter? What does he look like? I've seen Laura's husband and he's very handsome!"Laura frowned when Emily suddenly mentioned her."Laura's married? I couldn't tell at all. I can't believe you girls are married so soon.""I can't believe our campus belle is married. I haven't heard any news about it before.""Oh my god! My heart's broken.""Laura, I can't believe you're married. You haven't told us."When the people around them heard that Laura was married, they were all a little surprised. A lot of the boys deliberately put on a sad face to lighten up the mood."I just got married a while ago. We just got the marriage certificate. There was no wedding."The people around her were her university classmates, so when Laura spo
Chris squinted his eyes.Jessica had a big smile on her face. She would occasionally lean against the man, but the man wasn't Luke.Chris put one hand in his pocket and took out his phone with the other. He pointed the camera at Jessica and the man and took a picture.Meanwhile, in the private room on the second floor.Due to Prof. Wilson being quite old and everyone didn't want to tire him out, so they finished the meal quite early.Laura was walking out of the private room and at the same time she was calling Chris, asking him where he was.Emily came up beside her and unintentionally asked, "Laura, is your husband coming to pick you up?"Her voice was small, but instantly attracted a lot of attention.Jasmine walked over coquettishly with her 20-thousand-dollar bag. "Oh, Laura, what a coincidence. I was going to say that my husband is coming to pick me up in his new Ferrari. I was planning on giving you a lift. If your husband's coming to pick you up, then I won't need to gi
Jasmine's lips curved into a smile. A proud look appeared on her face. "Of course. My husband's car can sit four. We can accommodate one more person. Who wants a ride?""Me! Jasmine, I want a ride!""I want a ride too, Jasmine."A lot of people said that they wanted a ride on the Ferrari. After all, not everyone could afford such a luxury car. They would rarely get a chance to sit in one, let alone buy one."We can accommodate one more, Prof. Wilson, do you want a ride?" Jasmine walked up to Prof. Wilson and asked."I'm fine, thank you." Prof. Wilson shook his head. "I'll take the bus.""Prof. Wilson, we can give you a lift."A lot of people that came today might not be able to afford luxury cars, but a lot of them could still afford a normal family car. How could they let Prof. Wilson take the bus?Emily's attention was obviously not on the car. Instead, she was looking around and seemed to be looking for something.When she saw a familiar figure, her eyes lit up. "Laura, the
