The car stopped on Aelvale Road and Carina opened the door to get out.
Rolando said to the driver, "Give an umbrella to Ms. Osborn."
The driver then gave her an umbrella.
She opened her umbrella and got out of the car before saying to Rolando, "Mr. Mendez, thank you."
"You should do rather say something to show your appreciation." Rolando Looked indifferent.
Although he made sense, she still found it weird.
"Be safe," Carina said as she took a step back. She then turned around and limped toward the residential area.
In the car, Rolando said to the driver, "Stop."
When the car stopped, Rolando took another umbrella and got out. He caught up with Carina and stopped her.
Carina turned around, surprised to see Rolando again.
"Mr. Mendez?"
"Get in the car."
"Why?"
"You're injured. You have to go to the hospital."
'How come she's that careless? Doesn't she know she's injured?' Rolando thought.
Carina lowered her head to look at her legs.
"I'm fine. A good rest will solve everything."
"Are you a doctor? Why don't you write yourself a prescription? Get in the car. " With that, Rolando stuffed his umbrella into her hands without any explanation and walked towards the car.
With a yelp of astonishment, Carina dropped the umbrella to the ground.
Rolando ignored the umbrella and stuffed her inside the car.
Anxious, Carina exclaimed, "No, I can't go to the hospital. I still have a tutoring session."
"A tutoring session? That means you only quit your job as Triston's tutor?"
"I ..." She didn't dare speak more.
It was true.
Rolando snorted, he got into the car and said to the driver, "Take us to the hospital."
She looked at the residential area that was just a few steps away from her and couldn't help but feel anxious. However, she couldn't bring herself to speak, feeling a mix of guilt and embarrassment.
At the hospital, he took her to the orthopedic department.
When the doctor asked her where the pain was, Carina blushed.
"I-it doesn't hurt anywhere."
The doctor glanced at Rolando, not knowing what to do.
"Miss, you came here for an examination, so please cooperate."
Rolando, who stood by her side his arms crossed, spoke coldly, "Get her a complete set of examinations."
Carina hurried to shake her head.
"No! I'm all good. A set of examinations will be too expensive. I won't do that."
"Yes, you will," Rolando insisted. "I will pay. I don't want you to pester me for today's car accident in the future."
Feeling offended, Carina looked at him. "I won't do that."
"Human beings are complex. You told me that you quit your job because you would be occupied with your thesis, yet it turned out to be a lie. People can't distinguish a liar from her face. Everyone can look innocent and honest."
Carina wanted to defend herself.
"I..."
'I lied because I don't wanna embarrass myself again!' thought Carina.
The doctor made up the examination list and asked the nurse to lead the way.
When she left the room, she secretly asked the nurse, "How much do these examinations cost?"
The nurse took a look and said, "Over a grand."
Carina immediately took the form from the nurse's hands and limped back to Rolando.
"Can I have a word with you, please?"
"Sure."
Carina bit her lips.
"I don't need all those examinations. My leg is fine. My leg doesn't hurt. But my ..."
She lowered her eyes and blushed.
Rolando frowned.
"What is it?"
She angrily raised her eyes and glared at him.
"My private part hurts."
Rolando shifted his gaze downwards.Carina blushed and stubbornly turned around."In short, I don't need to do those examinations."She put the checklist into his hand."I'm going back, or I'm going to be expelled."Rolando smiled as he watched her leave from the back. He then stepped forward to pull her back."What do you want?""You should see a doctor since you know the problem.""But how?"'I won't see a doctor because of that! So embarrassing!' thought Carina.Rolando said with an undeniable tone, "Do you want me to take you there or do you want to obediently follow me?"Carina could tell that he meant what he said.After hesitating for a moment, she let out a depressed sigh and followed him to the gynecology department.The ob-gyn director examined her personally.She lay on the examination bed, feeling embarrassed.Fortunately, Rolando did not follow her in, otherwise, it would be... too disgraceful.When the examination was over, the doctor told her to put on her pants.When s
She went to the hospital, so she was half an hour late for the session.To make up for her mistake, she didn't charge at all.By the time she left her student's place, the sky was already dark.She took the bus back to school.After entering the dorm, she saw that Libby was there alone.Libby looked at her in an unfriendly way"Libby, move out of the room."She went to her desk, sat down, and opened the book."Why?" Libby walked to Carina's side. "Carina, what did I do wrong? Reid fucked me because he has feelings for me. Since you can't give him what he wants, why don't just let him go? He doesn't love you anymore. I'm the one for him now."Carina closed the book and stood up to look at her with coldness and alienation."Yes, I couldn't give him what he wanted, because I'm not a prostitute. Also, I never held him. I have already said before that I don't want Reid anymore. As for us, we can't live in the same dorm anymore.""We can't? Then why don't you move out? I won't do that."Car
It was noon when she appeared in the hall on the first floor of Mendez Group, under the bright midday sun.The driver took her to the basement parking lot and pointed to the car she had been in yesterday."Ms. Osborn, this is the car. I'll leave the key with you and go back."She took the key and didn't know what to do.Earlier, Rolando had asked her on the phone, "Do you have a driver's license?"She had answered, "Yes."She hadn't lied. She did have a driver's license.However, having a driver's license didn't mean she could actually drive.She spun around the black sedan, clicking her tongue in frustration. She was about to get into the car when the rear door suddenly opened.Rolando stepped out of the car."Mr. Mendez? How come you are here?" asked Carina, surprised."Isn't this my car? What's the problem of me being in my car?""Oh, that's not what I meant. Isn't this car supposed to be sent to me for washing?"Rolando asked coldly, "So you don't actually drive, do you?"She look
The woman in the room was beautiful and elegant.Seeing that Rolando had brought a woman, she was surprised. She stood up and greeted them with a warm smile."Rolando, this is ..."Rolando pursed his lips and said, "She's Triston's home tutor, Ms. Osborn."With that, the woman chuckled and said, "Nice to meet you, Ms. Osborn. I'm Jaylyn Mcclure."Carina nodded warmly and greeted her, "Hello, Ms. Mcclure."Rolando took the initiative to sit down and said, "Have a seat, please."Carina sat down next to him.Jaylyn shifted her gaze away from her and looked at Rolando. "I was even worried that inviting you out for a meal would interfere with your work.""No, it's fine. I brought Ms. Osborn over here. You don't mind that, right? After all, I made an appointment with Ms. Osborn first."Jaylyn shook her head with a soft laugh. "That won't be a problem, as long as Ms. Osborn doesn't mind it. I have already ordered all the dishes that you like, but I don't know what Ms. Osborn would prefer. I
Carina thought that washing the car was an excuse for Rolando to take her to have lunch with Jaylyn.She didn't expect that he actually went to get the car washed.Or technically, he watched the whole process while she was washing the car.Carina felt like she was at the moment a slave, working under her owner's watch.After she was done, he checked it and was very satisfied.She took a deep breath, took off her gloves, and threw them aside."Mr. Mendez, can I go now?"Rolando smiled. "Sure, get in the car. I'll take you back to school."She said angrily, "No. I'm afraid that if I dirty your car again, I'll have to do this again."She turned around and left.Rolando did not stop her this time.He exceeded her and saw her kicking and punching towards the direction he had gone.In the car, Rolando saw her from the rearview mirror and couldn't help but smile.'What a child!' he thought.After two intersections, an unfamiliar ringtone suddenly rang from the car.Rolando glanced over his s
Carina left Zayne's embrace and looked at him happily."Hey, Zayne! I thought you would come back in two weeks!""Dad broke his leg a few days ago, so I came back earlier."Her face stiffened."I see.""Do you want me to bring you to see him?"She lightly shook her head."I'm not going to see him.""You still can't forgive him?"She sighed."How can I? Besides, everyone has his or her position.""Carina, don't say that. I have never treated you as an outsider."Nodding with a smile, she replied, "I know."He turned his head to look at the Maybach, which had just left."The one in the car is Rolando?""Yes.""How did you know him?""I'm his younger brother's tutor.""You're still working? So you never used the card I gave you?"She smiled in silence.Zayne sighed."That isn't money from the Garrett family. It's my money, for my little sister.""But your surname is Garrett.""Carina, don't be so stubborn. My heart aches for you.""You don't have to feel sorry for you. I like my life. It
"That's right. Triston still has a month left to take the SAT so this stage is very important to him. Therefore, I hope that you can help him a lot. So, living here is most convenient."Rolando was calm when he said it, but she was not calm when she heard it."No, Mr. Mendez, I'm just a student, I have to live in a dormitory. Moreover, here is very far from my school, so it's inconvenient for me.""I can help you discuss the problem of accommodations with your school. If you think here is too far away from your school, I can also give you a car. That's not a problem.""No, I mean... It is inappropriate for a single man and woman to live together. This is illegal. "Rolando laughed disdainfully: "I didn't realize that Ms. Osborn's thoughts were so complex. Could it be that you like my brother?""Mr. Mendez. Triston is only my student.""Then do you like me?"Without even thinking about it, she firmly retorted, "Of course not.""Since you don't like us, then what are you afraid of? Ms.
After she had finished the class, she rushed to the restaurant.Zayne had already ordered the food.She sat down and Zayne asked: "Are you tired? "She drank two mouthfuls of water. "I was just sitting there and taught something that was already in my mind. How can I get tired?""Little girl, you only say the good news always.""I'm not suffering. Brother, don't always think that I'm the only one in the world who's pitiful. I'm pretty good." She had a smile on her face and ate happily."Eat slower, no one is going to fight with you for it."She laughed. "You won't be able to win. I'll eat them all.""Ok, eat them all then. If it's not enough, I'll give you the menu. Look at how thin you are. If your mother was still alive, she would be upset."When he mentioned her mother, she sighed. "Brother, don't.""Alright, alright, I won't say anymore. Just eat."Zayne kept on putting more food in Carina's plate. They looked at each other and laughed.Right at this moment, a shadow appeared besi
He could feel the fear in her eyes as she looked at him.Although he didn't know what she was afraid of.However, he knew she wanted him to stay.He lay down beside her and looked at her, saying softly, "Then I'll lie here with you. I won't go anywhere. Don't be afraid, just get some sleep."As she listened to his words, she slowly closed her eyes.Even though it had been quite a while, she still felt a lingering fear.Beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.He reached out, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and put his arms around her.Not long later, her warm breathing became even.She fell asleep.At that moment, a knock came from the door.Rolando slowly let go of the Carina, and quietly got down from the bed. He walked to the door and opened it.The person who was standing outside the door was Jaylyn.She raised her head to look at Rolando, her eyes filled with tears."Is Ms. Osbo
She was embarrassed.After dinner, Jaylyn pushed Louis out for a walk.After the two of them left the lake, she said in a puzzled manner, "How strange.""What's strange about that?""I felt that the person she liked was you, but seeing her together with Louis, I felt that it was very natural. The relationship between the two of them should also be pretty good, right?"Rolando shifted his gaze from her face and looked at the dark lake in the distance.Carina pursed her lips. She felt that she might have said something wrong, so she stopped wasting her breath.The peaceful midsummer night, even if the two of them didn't speak, they just sat there like a painting.The person in the painting, listening to the cicadas and frogs, blowing the hot summer breeze...At that moment, it was an eternity to her.In the years that followed, whenever she thought of that scene, she realized that it had truly been beautiful.
Rolando indifferently lifted his teacup and took a sip."If it's to make them pay for their lives, then what they have to bear right now is far from enough."Louis raised his eyebrows. "Oh? Does it seem that you have another purpose? "Rolando pursed his lips and smiled: "Louis, you don't need to worry about this matter. I have my little scheme."Louis did not say anything else.At the side, Jaylyn wanted to help warm her up, but she was unable to do so.He said warmly: "Ms. Mcclure, you can go rest over there. I can settle this by myself.""They are chatting. I can't interrupt, so I'll stay here to accompany you."She smiled warmly and didn't say anything.Jaylyn pursed her lips and said: "Today this poker card ...It's quite interesting.""Is there?""Yes." People who couldn't make a pair in real life could easily make a pair when playing cards.She was happy when she was with Rolando.On the
After Carina left, Jaylyn walked in front of Rolando."Rolando, are you serious with Ms. Osborn?""In your opinion, I'm not serious?"Jaylyn bit her lips as she looked at him. It was precise because he looked like he couldn't be more serious than she felt so uncomfortable."I know. I've let you down. Some things have already passed, and I should not bring them up again. But deep Rolando, can you ..."He interrupted her, "What should be forgotten, we should all forget, what should not be mentioned, then we will all remain silent. At the moment, it seems that this is a good idea for all of us.""Rolando, seeing you like this, I feel uncomfortable. In my life, my biggest hope is for you to be happy, do you understand?""I'm very happy now," Rolando said as he looked at her. "Evening fall, I'm very happy now, so don't worry about me anymore."He reached out and lightly patted Jaylyn's shoulders, "Go and choose a room. If we talk to
Carina felt that she was forced.It took them an hour and a half to reach the resort.As soon as his car came to a stop, two rows of waiters greeted him respectfully."Mr. Rolando, Mr. Louisand his wife, and the fourth master have entered.""Yes." Rolando coldly replied as he walked towards her.He reached out and took her hand. Under the astonished gazes of the crowd, they walked towards the isolated villa near the lake.She turned her head to look at him and whispered, "Didn't you guys come here to enjoy the vacation? Can you not exaggerate so much?""Exaggerate? What do you mean?""Isn't it an exaggeration to be welcomed by so many people. Or do you like the feeling of being surrounded? "Rolando smirked: "What do you think is the purpose of customers spending so much money to stay here for the night? I want to enjoy the atmosphere and to enjoy the services here, which is one of their services. ""That's
After having dinner with Cynthia, the two of them held hands and walked around the campus.At this moment, the four years of youth that the two of them had experienced seemed to flash past their eyes.Cynthia leaned on her shoulder. "How time flies.""Yeah, four years have passed.""Do you still want to study master?""Mm," Nodding warmly, "As you know, with my current diploma, even if I can stay as a teacher, I wouldn't have the qualifications to go up to the podium. I can't possibly stay in the executive position for my whole life as a counselor. That would go against my original intentions.""But, it's hard for you to work and study at the same time.""Anyway, life is hard. Besides, I work in school and the learning environment is better. I like this feeling."Cynthia was speechless: "I admire you. Other people entering university would start to relax, but you've made yourself even more tired. Didn't you know that you've alr
He nodded without the slightest hesitation. "I do.""No one else believes it, so why do you believe it?""Because I know you, and you don't even bother to do such a thing."She was somewhat touched as she looked at him tenderly.Rolando smirked: "Do you think that I am very considerate?"Gently, she retracted her gaze. "That's what you said.""You're being stubborn. On the account that I helped you today, you promised me two things."She looked at him. "What is it?""First, don't take a fancy to the male employees in the company. I'm very jealous. I'm afraid that I might unknowingly get rid of the outstanding employees in the company for your sake."She was speechless: "If I said that I wouldn't be attracted, then you wouldn't fire them?""Of course.""You trust me that much?"Rolando laughed sinisterly."Alright, I will not fall in love with any man in Mendez Group.""That's too absolu
ard."Mr. Mendez, this matter is indeed very vile. Nathaly's actions have already seriously violated the rules of the company, so, I'll deduct three months of her salary. Is that ok?"Rolando's eyes turned cold, "Toby, I think you don't want to continue working here anymore."Toby quickly said: "I am sorry, Mr. Mendez, I was inconsiderate enough, I will immediately call the human resource personnel and have them notify Nathaly of the dismissal."Nathaly's legs went soft as she staggered a step back, "Toby ..."Toby glared at her: "Shut up, you have caused so much damage to the company. How could you stay here?Nathaly choked with emotions. She glared at Susan and returned to her seat to pack her things.Rolando got up and kept both his hands in his pockets, "Nathaly has been expelled, and as for you, Toby, we will deduct three months' salary. If you are not convinced, you can resign."Then, he looked at Susan: "Come to my offic
After Susan finished the call, Toby went back from outside.He looked at Susan and said unhappily: "You are a supervisor, but you can't treat everyone equally. I don't think you can find your position anymore. Nathaly just works and doesn't bother others. Why you always trouble her?""Toby, everyone in the department knows whether Nathaly has worked properly or not. With her working ability, do you think she has the qualifications to be the current team leader?""Alright, what do you want to say now? You talk too much nonsense. " He walked into the office.Seeing him, Nathaly hurried over to his side and cried."Toby, I went to eat at the cafeteria at noon today, and when I heard Carina and that Arielle eating beside me and talking bad about me, I went up to question them. In the end, because Antonio likes Carina, he spoke up for her, and this Susan, she bullied me even more because she was the supervisor. I was the one being bullied, so why would
