Chapter 130
It was dead silent in the bus.
Sasha’s voice was still coming intermittently. “I used to moisturize at this time every day, but I was
worried that you would be waiting. After the driver took me here, I asked him to go back quickly.
Now I forgot to take the skincare products. By the way, did the driver pick you up?”
He eyed up and glanced around.
The people on the bus were all seated properly, but it was obvious that everyone was listening to that attentively.
Paul was already snickering, his entire body trembling.
He felt a headache attacking.
“Yes, he did.”
Sasha was happy. “That’s good. It’s worth it even if I skip skincare for the day.”
“Yep.”
“It’s okay, Leo. You don’t have to worry about my face. Although I forgot to bring the skincarers, I just borrowed the kitchen in the hotel to boil water and steam my face. It’ll work.”
“Steamed face? Not soup?”
Sasha hesitated for a moment and said, “Make soup? Why would I do that? But if you want, I’ll learn
to.”
“No! Not at all.”
“Leo, the conditions of the hotel booked by Ms. Reed are so poor. There is not even a wet machine. I was to steam my face with that, but I had no choice but to go to the kitchen to boil water myself…”
“All right.” He couldn’t bear the embarrassment anymore. “If nothing else happens, I’ll hang up.”
However, he hung up the phone directly after saying that,
”
Paul whistled at him. ” Mr. Mayor, your girlfriend hasn’t replied. Why did you hang up the phone? Aren’t you afraid of being blamed when you two meet?”
Leo glared at him without saying anything. He put the phone back to his pocket.
For the first time in his life, he felt that there was such a big gap between individuals.
Last time, when Megan said that she was of a mini-size brain, she overestimated Sasha. He suspected that she had no such thing at all.
Paul took the chance to hold his head high and continued teasing him. “I thought there would be soup for you, but I didn’t expect it to be steamed face. Female stars are who they are. They must take good care of themselves…”
Megan turned back and saw that Leo’s expression appeared unfriendly. She was afraid that the two would quarrel again, so she gently tugged at Paul’s sleeve and said, “Stop it.”
He raised his eyebrows. “Are you sure you can just let go of it?”
“…” She hesitated. “I am just used to it.”
Anything that may put a threat to Sasha’s face, he could not let it be.
It was as expected.
In the next month, she would face many similar scenes. It would be better for her to get used to that.
When they arrived at the camp, it was already three o’clock in the afternoon.
Since Megan was not feeling well today, Secretary James took the initiative to do the rest of the work and arranged for everyone to set up tents and sleeping bags.
Paul brought a stone over from nowhere and placed it by her side. “Sit down and rest. I’ll do that for
you.”
There was still something on Megan’s mind. The message from Vada suspended her heart all day
long.
Not far away, Leo was on the phone, perhaps with Sasha.
She listened carefully and found that he seemed to have lost his temper. There was a woman’s cry
on the other end of the phone.
“Mr. Mayor?”
Leo quickly hung up the phone, put it away, and looked back at her. “What’s wrong?”
“I want to ask for leave and go back to the city.”
Leo frowned. “What are you going back to the city for?”
“I’m not feeling well.”
Thinking of the blood stain on her skirt, Leo relaxed his tightly knitted brows. “Are you feeling
terrible?”
“Sort of.”
“How long will you be gone and when will you come back?”
Megan was not sure what was wrong with her bleeding this time. If it was an ordinary period, it would be fine. But if it was really a sign of miscarriage as Vada said…
While she was thinking, her cell phone rang.
Leo asked, “Who is it?”
“Old Mayor.”
She picked it up.
Old Mayor’s voice was still as kind and gentle as ever. “Megan, is Leo by your side?”
“Yes, do you want me to give him the phone?”
“Okay.”
Megan handed the phone to him and said, “Grandpa Mayor is looking for you.
