Embarrassed, Melissa pulled her fine bangs up and put them behind her ears. Then she begged Howard in a low voice, "Well, can you just stop here? I'll walk the rest of the way by myself."
Without saying a word, Howard still kept driving smoothly, as if he took Melissa as air.
The school entrance was just around the corner. Seeing this, Melissa became anxious. She tightly grabbed the back shoulder of Howard and said uneasily, "Eh... I don't know your name, but we would arrive at our school soon if you kept driving. I promise I won't run away. But can you just leave me here and let me come in on my own? You can pull over and follow me if you still worry about me. "
She didn't want anyone to know her humble identity.
Howard frowned with disgust and leaned forward a little. Then he reached out his hands and said, "Miss Melissa, please don't make things difficult for me. I'm just following the order."
A trace of pain appeared in her eyes. Melissa said “Hum” and drew back her hand. Even a driver looked down on her?
She forced a smile, which was extremely grieving.
The car stopped slowly at the gate of the school. In an instant, everyone's eyes were focused on it. Many people even craned their heads, trying to see which rich person be in the car so that they could go to butter up this person.
Melissa's face was covered with embarrassment. After hesitating for a while, she finally reluctantly got out of the car when she saw the sullen, handsome face of Howard.
When she appeared, many people presented a surprised expression.
Lowering her head, Melissa said "Thank you" to Howard in a hurry and left, as if it was a very embarrassing thing.
A trace of darkness flashed through Howard's eyes. He thought for a while and changed the direction of the car and then drove away.
In the classroom, Melissa was so nervous that she didn't even dare to breathe. The mockery and arguments of the people around her seemed to have been amplified several hundred times, and they were lingering in her heart.
"I say, how does she have the face to come back to our school?"
"What are you talking about? I don't remember this woman..."
"I tell you, she betrayed herself to a man for money. Do you know who he is? It's Aaron! Oh my God! It never occurred to me that a pure and innocent woman like her would have done such a thing! "
As they talked, their tone of contempt became more obvious. With a pale face, Melissa's head lowed, and she tried to forget these people's words, but her brain deliberately went against her. The words were running through her mind in an infinite loop.
When Melissa was caught in a dilemma, a woman suddenly walked up from behind, reached out her hand and directly grabbed the back of Melissa's head. She sneered, "I know more than you do. You know what? I heard that she went to steal the purse of Aaron's girlfriend to hook up Aaron!"
Everyone was shocked by her words.
Suffering great pain, Melissa let out a low hum, but dared not speak anything.
