Jessie felt buzzed in her ears. She turned her head angrily, "Who is it?"
"It's me." Stanley got off the car.
Jessie held back the anger on her face and blinked in an incredible way, "Mr. Murphy? Why are you here?"
"Passing by. What happened to her?" Stanley's eyes fell on Violet.
Violet buried her head on Jessie's shoulders. Her hair was scattered, and her face was covered by the hair tightly, so he couldn't see anything.
"Violet is drunk" Jessie replied helplessly.
"Did you guys drink?" Stanley squinted.
Jessie said, "Yes, Violet is a little sad."
"Sad?" Stanley pursed his thin lips, "Why is she sad?"
Jessie looked at him bitterly, and muttered, "Why? It's all because of you."
"Huh?" Stanley couldn't hear clearly, frowning.
Jessie reacted and shook her head quickly, "Nothing. Mr. Murphy, can you take us to the nearest subway station?"
"Get in the car." Stanley opened the back seat door.
Jessie quickly thanked him and helped Violet into the car.
Stanley also sat back in the car, glanced at Violet who was sleeping in the rearview mirror, and said while fastening the seat belt, "Your address?"
"Mr. Murphy, are you going to drive me back home?" Jessie's eyes lit up.
Stanley was noncommittal.
Jessie was about to say her address, but then she thought of something and looked at Violet.
Stanley guessed her scruples, then he said, "I will drive her back home."
"That's great! My house is..." Jessie said out her address.
After Stanley turned on the map, he started the car.
In about twenty minutes, they arrived at Jessie's house.
Jessie got out of the car and stood outside the window of the driver's seat, "Thank you, Mr. Murphy. Please take care of Violet."
Stanley gave a hmm, rolled up the window, and drove away.
On the way, his cell phone rang.
Henry's voice came, "Stanley, why haven't you arrived yet?"
Stanley turned the steering wheel with one hand and pressed the Bluetooth headset on his ear with the other hand, “Something happened. I’ll be there a little late.”
"What's the matter?" Henry asked.
Stanley's eyes flickered. He didn't mean to answer, "Nothing. I will rush over as soon as possible."
"Okay, but hurry up. Ivy is still waiting for you. She heard that you personally went to choose the present this afternoon. She looks forward to it."
"Got it." Stanley pressed the headset and hung up the phone.
Soon, they arrived at the apartment.
Stanley stopped the car and picked Violet from the back seat.
Violet seemed to feel that someone was hugging her, so she subconsciously put her arm around the man's neck.
Stanley was stunned and looked down at her for a while.
Seeing that she hadn't moved, he walked into the building.
When they arrived at the floor which they lived, Stanley hugged Violet to the door of her apartment and rang the doorbell with his elbow, but no one opened the door.
Having no choice, Stanley turned around and opened the door of his apartment, carried her in and put her on the sofa, then picked up her bag, ready to find the key card.
