“A female companion?” Doris Lee was taken back.
“Yeah,” Colin Ward nodded his head, “Like, you know, those people attend to a banquet would usually have a companion. I have a beautiful wife like you, so of course, I will bring you.”
Hearing his words, Doris got the expression on her face angry. She was suspecting that Colin might already know that she was going to the banquet with Barr Martin, so he was saying this on purpose to embarrass her.
“Colin Ward!” Doris was so angry that she could not help shaking her body, “Did you say this on purpose?”
Colin was confused, “On purpose? What?”
He was asking Doris to be his female companion so she could dump Barr Martin, but the two of them just thought it in an opposite way.
Doris could not hold it anymore and said: “Did you know that I was going to be Barr Martin’s female companion, so you said those words deliberately to embarrass me?”
Colin was much more confused.
While seeing the tears lingered on the eyes of her, Colin explained in a hurry, “No! I mean I did know that Barr Martin asked you to be his female companion, but I said that because I wanted you to dump him. Nothing more, Doris.”
“W...what?”
Doris did not expect this at all, while Colin kept on.
“I don’t want you to go with Barr Martin. I want you to be my companion, so leave that scumbag alone and come with me.”
She blinked her eyes and finally understood what he was saying, and her face blushed, “But...I already agreed to be his...”
“Doris,” Colin cut in, “That bastard didn’t help us at all. You saw me at home right after you came back, right? Didn’t it prove that he had nothing to do with it?”
That reminded her.
It seemed that she just asked for help, and then next second, Colin was released.
For the ability of Barr Martin, he definitely needed to get to the police station for this, but it was half an hour's journey!
That night, she saw Colin was having fun with his friend while she was begging for help so she was so upset that she ignored the details.
“So, he didn’t help? You were released by someone else?” Doris looked at Colin and said.
Colin nodded his head, “No, nobody helped. The police checked the camera and found out I was innocent, so they set me free.”
“I’m sorry...” Doris felt guilty.
“Don’t say that Doris. I’m your husband!”
Hearing his words, Doris got her heart beating, and then she looked down shyly, “But if I don’t show up, what do we do about Barr Martin?”
Colin replied to her calmly, “Don’t worry. I got this.”
They ended the conversation and then hopped into the car driving to the Martin Hotel.
While when they just arrived and got out, Fox Lee was there.
Pain in the ass!
“Whoa, Doris. I guess Mr. Martin only needs you to be his female companion, not your husband, right?” Fox Lee sneered.
Doris glared at him, “Shut your mouth! Fox Lee!”
“You looking for trouble!?” Colin was even angrier, and then he turned to Doris, “Go, Doris. I’ll come later.”
“But...” Doris was worried.
“Trust me.”
Having no other way, Doris nodded his head and went inside.
