The numbed left leg was held in his warm hand, which was later pulled back by Rita determinedly.
“It doesn’t ache. I am fine.”
“Really?” Liam hardly believed her.
Rita disgusted herself by looking at somewhere else, “I am so tired that I need to sleep. So I am sorry to have you sleep on the floor tonight.”
Before Liam gave her a response, she turned her back to him with quilt on her, closing eyes.
Although lying on the bed, she listened to any sound made by him carefully.
She took a deep breath after making sure that he was lying on the floor.
The whole room was so quiet that even the sound of a needle dropping on the ground could be heard.
The clock kept going and an hour passed.
“Rita?” suddenly a low voice broke the silence of the room.
Liam turned his head to look at her, and raised his hand consciously in order to hold her in his arms firmly listening to her steady breath.
But his hand paused in the air for several seconds and he withdrew, staring at her left leg emotionally.
If he had recognized her as the girl by his side at that time, then no villain could hurt her and her leg was not broken.
Obviously, his attitude decided her fate.
If he had treated her better, nobody would scheme against her so directly.
At this thought, he clenched his fist more tightly, “Sorry.”
This word spoken from his mouth was very low yet clear, which penetrated the air and landed on Rita’s ear. Then a drop of tear ran down her face through hairs and was absorbed by the pillow, leaving a dot on it.
In the moonlight, Rita dissolved into tears but silently.
On the next day, when she woke up, her eyes were swollen like ring bells.
She soaked in the bath with two eye masks to reduce the swelling.
After the bath, she wore a makeup of plain colors to hide the swollen eyes, hoping to look better.
Then she went downstairs with a bag.
At the moment, in an expensive car parking in the yard, Liam was sitting with his legs crossed, concentrating on a newspaper.
He should arrive at the office now as he did in the past, but today he showed no sign of leaving.
It’s about to be late for work and the driver glanced at Jacob by his side, asking carefully, “Mr. Thompson, it’s almost eight o’ clock. When shall we go?”
“But somebody is not here.” Jacob who guessed out Liam’s mind said slowly with a broken heart.
The driver was stupefied, and asked curiously, “Who? Who dare to have Mr. Wilson waiting?”
Driver had been Liam’s driver for three years and had seen many people by following him.
In this city, it’s everyone that waited for Mr. Wilson for a long time. But today, it’s the first time for him to see that Mr. Wilson waited for someone patiently.
He or she must be high in status.
Driver was more interested in whom Mr. Wilson was waiting for.
Now Rita opened the door and walked towards them. Hearing the steps, Liam put down the newspaper.
Looking at her who was in the garage, he winded down the window, “Your car needs to renew the oil. I let the housekeeper change the oil and maintain the car.”
Rita nodded, and frowned at the sight of other cars in the garage.
They were either too priceless or of flaunt.
If she drove one of them to the campus, she must be discussed in the forum immediately.
After the rumor of the affair, she didn’t want to draw people’s attention.
It seemed that she had to take a bus.
Making the decision, she walked to the gate.
