Chapter 50: Return the phone
On the other end of the line, Deirdre was also stunned. It was obvious that she didn’t expect a woman to answer the phone. After being stunned for a few seconds, she politely said, “Hello, is Mr. Morrison here?”
“He left his phone with me,” Suzanne said honestly, her voice gentle. “Why don’t you wait 10 minutes for me to send the phone to him?”
On the other end of the line, Deirdre was dumbfounded.
She had never heard anything about him having a girlfriend from any of her colleagues, even though she had been working for Edwiin for so long. Why did this lady sound like they were very close?
Could it be that person from last time who came to the company to look for boss?
There were several gossips in Deirdre’s heart. She wished she could ask these questions through a phone call. Thinking that she was being rude, she held back and said, “It’s all right. I’ll make another call later.”
“Sorry, bye,” Suzanne said politely and then hung up the phone.
“It sounds like a woman. Is she your rival in love?”
Nancy approached her with a sneaky look. “Oh! I knew your boyfriend was attractive. Look, your rival in love is coming out.” With that, she snatched the black mobile phone from Suzanne’s hand.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
Suzanne rolled her eyes at her and said, “You’re overthinking it. We’re just friends.”
“You bad, how dare you lie to me!” Nancy screamed and waved her phone in front of her, her face full of displeasure. “Look, look, the wallpaper of this phone is you, or are you calling he your friend?”
“What?” Suzanne took the time to glance at her.
The black phone was lit and she looked exactly like her on the screen. Her long, slightly curly hair was draped over her shoulders and she was smiling faintly at the camera. Her smile was sweet and moving. She bit her lips slightly and seemed a little shy.
Suzanne was shocked and almost drove the sports car to the end of the street.
After parking the car stably, she snatched the phone from Nancy’s hand and stared at it with her eyes wide open. Obviously, she didn’t quite believe it, but it was indeed herself.
“What are you doing?” Nancy patted her, almost scared to death. She said with lingering fear, “Be careful, this sports car is so expensive.”
“Why, why is it me?” Suzanne mumbled, feeling a little dizzy.
She recalled that the background of this photo was taken last year when her family went to Egypt to have a trip.
At that time, they followed the others to tour the pyramid. Mrs. Morrison wanted to take photos of her as a souvenir.
“How did he get this photo and even set it up as a screen protector?”
“What’s wrong?” Nancy giggled and pushed her arm. “This is your boyfriend. If you won’t let him set your photo up as screensaver, are you going to allow him to use photos of other women?”
“It’s not like that.” Suzanne was powerless to explain. Her face turned slightly red and she didn’t even dare to look at her phone.
She turned on the navigation and searched the route to Edwiin’s apartment. When the green light turned on, she quickly started the car and drove over. Then she followed the instructions to turn left at the next intersection.
Edwiin ‘s apartment was in the high-level area, and there was a security booth at the door. It was not like Suzanne’sapartment, which only required the entrance password. This place still needed to be checked by the security guards here.
After learning of Suzanne’s purpose, the security guard told her to wait and make a phone call.
Suzanne parked the car on the side and sat in it for a while. When she saw a figure coming towards the gate, she quickly got out of the car with his mobile phone.
When Edwiin came out, she hurriedly handed over her phone. Her face was slightly red, and her voice was a little nervous and uneasy. “Edwiin, you forgot to take your phone. Your secretary just called, and I said that your phone fell into the car.”
“All right, I got it,” Edwiin said. He took the phone and put it in his pocket without looking at it. “Thank you. Be careful when you get back.”
Suzanne got in the car, and soon drove away from the apartment.
Nancy kept leaning against the glass and watching with all her might. Only when she saw that person gradually disappear into the night did she reluctantly withdraw her gaze. “Your boyfriend is very handsome! And he looks a little familiar.”
“Really?” Suzanne smiled, her facial expression was a little unnatural.
Edwiin was famous everywhere. Although he rarely received interviews from TV stations and showed his face in other magazines, he was often caught meeting with other entrepreneurs and thus drafted the news.
“It’s true, I just can’t remember who he is right now.” Nancy frowned, as if she were really trying her best to remember. “It seems that i saw him on the internet.”
“Don’t think about it, he’s just a nobody.” Suzanne smiled and said, “Are you hungry? Why don’t we go eat something or go home to eat? We still have a lot of things to eat at home.”
Nancy’s willpower was not strong enough, and her thoughts were almost taken away by Suzanne. Hearing what she said, she raised her hands and cheered. “Great! Then I’m going to try the Korean barbecue!”
Suzanne pursed her lips and teased her. “You want to eat barbecue at this time? Aren’t you afraid you’ll get heavier when you wake up tomorrow?”
“What are you afraid of?” Nancy said indifferently, “For single people like us, it doesn’t matter if we get fatter. Anyway, we won’t be despised!”
“Yes, yes!” Suzanne pinched her and said, “Okay, let’s go eat barbecue. It’s my treat.”
It took them about an hour and a half to eat and chat in the restaurant. It was almost eleven o’clock when they came out. When they drove back to the apartment, it was already past eleven o’clock, and there seemed to be no one outside.
Because she had seen Edwiin’s phone before, Suzanne was a little flustered. She tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep. When she fell asleep in a daze, the alarm clock rang again.
“Really?” Suzanne looked at the alarm clock with exhaustion written all over her face.
She seemed to have been tossing and turning until four or five in the morning yesterday before falling asleep. She almost didn’t sleep. When she opened her eyes, it was 7:30 in the morning.
Suzanne sat on the bed and squinted for a long time. She pinched her cheeks hard to force herself to wake up.
Nancy was humming a piece of wheat in the kitchen. When she saw Suzanne come out of the room with dark circles under his eyes, she was shocked. “What are you doing? You slept at 12 o’clock yesterday. How can you have dark circles in seven hours?”
Suzanne ignored her and went to the bathroom to wash up. After that, she went back to the room to change her clothes and put on makeup. Even after breakfast, she still looked listless when she went out with Nancy.
“Don’t be like this.” Nancy was a bit panicked. “You’ll have to drive later. What if you daydream and drive the car to the sidewalk again? I’m a girl as pretty as a flower and can’t spend the rest of my life in prison.”
“I won’t.” Suzanne was almost amused. Putting an arm around her shoulder, then took her out of the elevator.
