Chapter 52 An Awkward Trip
Chapter 52 An Awkward Trip
Amanda looked at all the files sorted in order, then she looked at Gregorio's calm face with no expression, she didn't know whether the tasty pie from the heaven was poisoned.
"Mrs. Amanda, you are young and promising. You and Mr. Darren are a perfect match!" Mr. Zhang shook hands with her.
"I'm flattered." Amanda responded politely.
After she got the executed contract, Gregorio took it directly and put it in the briefcase.
"Mrs. Amanda, Mr. Darren will leave in ten minutes." Sophie came to notify. She smiled when she saw Gregorio. They were brother and sister, and Amanda couldn't help but admire how excellent they were.
On the way, Amanda looked out of the window at the scenery passing by. When she got a call from Maggie, she found that Darren was resting with his eyes closed. He frowned with displeasure.
Amanda ignored his feeling. When she answered the call, a scream came from the other end of the line. The scream frightened Darren who was taking a rest, Gregorio in the driver's seat and Sophie in the front passenger seat.
Amanda covered her ear and yelled, "Maggie, Maggie, calm down. Don't take things too hard. I don't want to be deaf now."
A phone call was no longer enough to vent the bitterness of Maggie. She cried, "Why did I have that damn coffee with you? This son of a bitch is haunting me all the time. He actually asked me to go to the remote village to forget the sweetness and recall the bitterness in the past. Is that human's work? He also said that it was arranged by the hospital to voluntary treat patients."
"What? How could you run so far to the mountain area? Aren't you going to teach in the school?" Amanda's eyes were widened in shock.
"It's only one week. My parents think it's a good thing for me to do that. They called the principal without hesitation because the principal is a student of my grandfather. He doesn't want to stop me. My mother is packing my luggage. I'd better go to your place and hide." Maggie said.
"Okay, you can come then." Amanda heard her crying so hard.
Maggie sobbed, "It's so good to have a bestie. It's a good chance for me to help you deal with that bastard, Darren. If he dares to lay a finger on you again, I'll cripple him."
For a moment, it was dead silent inside the car, feeling awkward.
Amanda looked up carefully, but when she met Darren's furious gaze, the corner of her mouth twitched. She said to the phone, "When will you come?"
Maggie wiped away her tears, "I have thought for a while. It's too unsafe to go to your place. I'd better go out. After my mother gets ready, I will run directly. By the way, you and Lionel..."
"I'm fine." Amanda interrupted what Maggie was going to say suddenly. Maggie was shocked, just heard Amanda speaking really fast, "My work is going well. My schedule is pretty full. I'm quite busy right now and have things to do. Bye, love you." Hanging up the phone, Amanda took a deep breath. She looked out of the window to avoid the killing sights from Darren.
Silence permeated in the car again. None of them said a word, and the air was heavy among them.
Another phone call came in. Amanda looked at it and answered it carefully.
"Amanda, did Maggie called you? I'm telling you, you'd better not help her, or I will be rude to you." Said Henry in the phone lazily. Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
Amanda frowned and said, "Hey, why are you so harsh to Maggie? You are just a nominal couple. Don't you think you've gone too far by forcing her like this?"
"You don't believe me, do you? Or you just don't believe your best friend? She is so reckless, but in fact, she can take it bravely than anyone else. Anyway, don't help her, otherwise humph." Obviously, he was threatening.
With a guilty conscience, Amanda said, "Well, don't push her too hard."
Henry laughed, "Don't worry. I know what I'm doing."
'You know it well. But I don't know. If a freak who is at urology department like you know it well, how many people will suffer.'
"This person's voice sounds familiar." After hanging up the phone, Darren said calmly.
Amanda were scared the hell out of her. Did he recognize that it was the doctor who had pretended to treat her last time?
Darren just said casually without looking into the matter.
When seeing the gate of MH Resort, Sophie finally breathed a sigh of relief. She was really worried about Amanda's friends, who were not scared to die at all.
The ribbon cutting ceremony would begin at 12 o'clock, but the preparation had almost been finished here. Many media and beautiful models were invited. When the famous models and beauties passed by the car and saw the car, they all looked at it with curiosity. When Darren got off the car, their eyes lit up and they took a few more looks when passing by.
Amanda got out of the car and walked towards the lounge, while holding Darren's arm unhappily.
After the greetings with the boss, Darren said he needed a rest and refused the invitation by the boss to walk around. But Amanda was excited to go out, and their lounge was facing the garden, so Amanda
went out for a walk.
In the fountain, a white swan was leisurely swimming. It was combing its feathers with its big beak. Its snow-white body and the reflection were integrated into one. It was surrounded by green trees and its long neck was bent into a very beautiful arc.
Amanda had only seen white swans at zoo before. She didn't expect there was one here and couldn't help watching.
All of a sudden, a stone was thrown at the white swan, which was startled. It sprang up immediately only to find that Amanda was standing there. Then it dashed toward Amanda aggressively.
"What's wrong?" Although Amanda wanted to attract the white swan and touch its feather, it was obvious that the white swan was aggressive and not friendly with people at all. Amanda ran back at once, but the white swan chased after her closely. Goose was a kind of aggressive animal, and it was common that the white goose raised at home could beat away a dog, let alone a larger white swan.
"Hey, don't go after me." Amanda was wearing a pair of high heels because of the ribbon cutting ceremony. She got tired so soon after running for a while. The white swan ran very fast. Suddenly it opened its beak but got kicked unexpectedly. Amanda was so frightened that she screamed and fell down on the ground. When she calmed down, she was held in Darren's arms. But the swan run towards them again.
Hearing one sound of whistle, the boss smiled and said, "Mr. Darren, don't be so harsh on my Little White. I have worked so hard to raise Little White up."
