Rubbing her temples, Michelle got out of bed, walked to the window with her bare feet and looked at the scenery outside the community.
One day had passed. Soon, this city would say goodbye to her. Where on earth should she go?
In the living room, Emily anxiously called Scott, but no one answered. She had no choice but to ask Walter for help.
Soon, there was a knock on the door, and Walter appeared.
"How is it?"
"Michelle has been in a bad condition since she received that strange call." Emily also frowned.
Michelle had been alone in the room for a day and a night. If she didn't eat or drink anything, her health would collapse sooner or later.
"Have you informed Auntie?" Walter continued to ask.
"No, I'm afraid she'll be worried." Emily didn't want to disturb Olivia considering her health.
"Do you have a spare key?" Walter had no choice but to do so. He wanted to open the door and see what was wrong with Michelle.
Emily nodded and went back to her bedroom. When she came out, she had a key in her hand.
Walter took the key and opened the door, only to find that Michelle was standing alone in front of the window. At that moment, he saw helplessness and sadness on her.
"Michelle." He walked over and shouted, but he didn't dare to get too close, fearing that Michelle would open the window and jump down.
"Don't come over. Leave me alone."
Finally, Michelle turned her head around. Her face was so pale that it was frightening.
Realizing that something was wrong, Walter asked again, "what happened? Can you tell us?"
"If you are worried about Scott's company, you can rest assured that all the stocks lost by the company have been taken back. He has got the rest of the shares. " Emily comforted. She just hoped that Michelle could cheer up again.
Hearing the news, Michelle was slightly stunned, but she didn't say much.
Emily and Walter looked at each other and then slowly approached.
Michelle stood still and looked out of the window.
"Michelle, what are you worried about?"
Emily walked over and looked into the distance with her. Except for the tall building, there was only wide road left. It seemed that there was nothing to look at.
"Emily, let's go out for dinner later. I suddenly want to eat at the snack stands outside."
Suddenly, Michelle turned around and smiled at Emily and Walter.
"Okay."
Hearing that she was going out for dinner, Emily and Walter smiled at each other.
"Then you go to wash yourself first. We'll go out later."
After saying that, Emily and Walter walked out of the room. Five minutes later, Michelle changed her clothes and came out. She went to the bathroom to wash up, and then she went out together with others.
It was bright outside. Michelle followed the two and looked out of the window all the way without saying a word.
When the car arrived at a small restaurant, Walter opened the door. He let Emily get off the car first and then opened the back door.
At this time, Michelle was obviously still in a daze, not noticing that the door beside her had been opened.
Standing outside the car, Walter said, "Michelle."
"Okay."
It was not until Walter called her that Michelle came to her senses. She turned around and saw the tall figure of Walter before she stepped out of the car.
The three of them entered the restaurant. The waiter led them to a private room, ordered some dishes and went out.
The room was so quiet that only the sound of air-conditioning could be heard.
The dinner was served soon, and Michelle began to gobble it down with chopsticks. Seeing this, Emily and Walter were afraid that she would choke, so they advised her to eat slowly.
After a while, the door of the private room was pushed open. The first thing she saw was a pair of shiny black shoes and black suit pants.
Michelle didn't raise her head or stop eating.
Standing outside the door and seeing her like this, Scott couldn't help frowning.
What was wrong with her?
"Scott, you're finally here. Sit down."
Emily stood up and said friendly.
Looking at her, Scott nodded and sat down beside Michelle.
However, Michelle didn't give any response because of his arrival. She continued to eat. Afraid that she would choke, Scott handed her a glass of water and said, "eat slowly. No one will grab it from you."
During the meal, Michelle ate a lot. She ate almost all of dishes on the table.
They were worried that Michelle would suffer from indigestion, so Emily went to buy some medicine first. It was too much for her to eat alone.
On the way back home, Michelle didn't say a word, and so did Scott, who was sitting next to her.
The atmosphere in the car went down in embarrassment. It was not until they arrived at the gate of the community that Scott got off the car and opened the door. Then he looked at the person sitting in the car and motioned for her to get off.
