Holding the phone, Finnley looked at Eloise and didn't know what to say.
"Did you hear me?" Ivan thought the signal was bad.
"Yes, I do. I get it." Finnley replied immediately.
"What did you get?" Ivan asked, "what's wrong with you? I'm asking you if she's in a good mood or if the wound is serious."
"She went to Dr. Watson to bandage her wound. It's not serious. Her shoulder was twisted. I might need to ask for a few more days' leave."
"It's not a big deal to ask for leave," Ivan said. "You can spend more time with her. I'll take care of the business."
...
Ivan continued, "well, you go ahead with your work. I have to hang up." then he hung up.
The phone call confused Eloise and Holly. Who was injured?
Finnley put away his phone. When he looked at Eloise again, he felt a little sorry and embarrassed.
Seeing her red and swollen face, Finnley realized that he had used too much strength.
When he walked towards her, Holly stood in front of Eloise and begged, "Mr. Russell, if you want to hit someone, just hit me. Don't slap her again! My lady has never been slapped!"
Eloise felt wronged and took a deep breath. She pushed Holly away and stared at Finnley with a frown. "You'd better make it clear to me. Who was kidnapped?"
Finnley stopped in front of her. His serious face turned a little gentler.
"That girl was kidnapped, right?" Eloise was even a little happy. "Are you anxious? Are you worried about me? The first person you suspect is me, huh? Finnley, am I so cruel in your eyes?"
Eloise questioned loudly, "am I such a kind of woman in your eyes? I admit that I like you, but why should I kidnap her? Can I kill her in legal society? Will you fall in love with me even if I kill her?"
Eloise had a clear mind.
