The office fell into silence, or maybe their voices were too low for me to hear.
Since I came here, I decided to stay. I wanted to see what's going on.
I walked over, put my hand on the door handle, and gently pressed it.
The door opened a little.
I heard Kelsi said. "Well, since I can't get it, then I won't let you get it either. We'll have a life- and-death struggle."
As soon as she finished her words, I heard Shelton said. "Who's there?"
Obviously, he noticed me.
I couldn't continue eavesdropping, so I opened the door and went in.
They looked at me, and Shelton's expression was a little surprised. As for Kelsi, she was surprised at first, but soon a smug smile flashed across her face.
Kelsi opened her mouth first. "What a coincidence, we are just talking about you."
There was a hint of impatience in Shelton's expression. He asked, "Why are you here?"
I stood where I was and said with a cold expression, "Today is the day I come to get medicine. What? You forget it?"
Hearing this, Shelton, sitting on his desk, took out his mobile phone and looked at the time. He frowned slightly and said to me, "It's tomorrow."
"Tomorrow?"
I thought I was on the right side, but I didn't expect to remember the wrong day.
I took out my phone and looked at my record.
I really thought it was today.
I calculated the time quickly again.
And only realized that I had miscalculated.
Because I have counted the time of four times to get the medicine at the beginning, and this time it was the last time. I never thought about did I count it right at all.
Kelsi sat on the sofa, looked up at me, and said with a smile, "Miss Nolan, since you are here, please sit down. I have something to talk with you."
"What's the matter? Just say it." I didn't hold a good attitude when faced with Kelsi.
I remembered clearly what she and her mother had done to my mom last time.
Upon hearing this, Kelsi's face immediately darkened and she sneered. "What's going on? Do you still take yourself seriously? Without Patrick, who do you think you are? It's easier for us to strangle you than to step on ants."
"Then do it. Anyway, Dr. Shelton has already seized my weak point. What am I afraid of?"
I stood still and looked at Shelton.
Although I still had hope in my heart, I was not afraid anymore.
After all, fear was useless.
To put it bluntly, Glenn's life was held by Shelton. He and Kelsi were in the same group. One was a rich second generation, and the other was a big shot in the pharmaceutical industry.
And I, was just a small designer.
As Kelsi said, it was easier to crush me than to kill an ant.
Seeing that I was so self- aware, Kelsi smiled. "Aren't you going to marry Shelton? After you get married, I want you to leave City Y."
"Why?" I looked at her and deliberately stood beside Shelton and said, "City Y and City S are the only two most developed cities in the country. He is doing so well in City Y now, with all his relationships over here. Why should we have to leave just because of you?"
After I finished speaking, I glanced at Shelton.
Sure enough, he slightly lifted the corners of his mouth, with a trace of smile on his face.
Upon hearing this, Kelsi said, "So what? I still have the draft of your video. I can publish it at any time."
When she mentioned this matter, I clenched my fists and found it hard to control my emotions.
