The Good Girl's Revenge novel Chapter 37

Meredith shook her head and smiled, but refused to say anything.

That memory was too terrible. At this moment, she didn't want to bring out the dark times, let alone...

Parker would hate her if he knew that she had been in prison, right?

Meredith lowered her head. Parker was the first outsider to show his kindness. She didn't want him to hate her. Even if he might hate her later, she wanted it to be as late as possible.

Seeing that Meredith did not speak, Parker could not ask any more questions. At this time, the staff of the cafe came back with two full boxes in his hands.

"Our store is going to be renovated recently, so please bring back your things for this period."

Meredith took a look at them. They were quite heavy, so she was a little embarrassed, but the man had already left.

"Wait for me here for a while. I'll buy you a tube of ointment, and then I'll send you back." Parker knew what she was thinking so he offered help.

"It may bother you too much. I might as well..."

Meredith was embarrassed to disturb Parker like this, but he pressed her down on the seat regardless of what she said. "If you still treat me as a friend, be obedient."

Meredith was stunned by the word "friend." Only then did Parker stand up with satisfaction and go out to look for a pharmacy store.

Meredith sat in the distance, feeling a little happy and melancholy in her heart. Friend...

After she went to prison, those who had said that they were good friends for the rest of their lives avoided her, and she had long disbelieved the so-called friendship.

But Parker showed up and said they were friends?

Meredith shook her head. It was just because he didn't know about her past. If he did, he might change his mind.

...

Not far away, Derek got out of the car. He wanted to drive out to relax, but somehow, he drove here.

The man looked around casually and soon saw Meredith sitting by the window, not knowing what she was thinking.

The warmth of the afternoon sun made Meredith look softer as if she had been gilded with brilliant gold.

Derek's sullen face relaxed a little. Just as he was about to walk toward her, he suddenly saw a figure that he did not like appearing in front of him.

With a bag in his hand, Parker hurried into the cafe and sat down in front of Meredith. They even had a dating here with an unspoken consensus.

Derek held the car keys in his hand even tighter and narrowed his eyes.

Meredith was shocked by Parker's exaggeration. Maybe he was fooled by the staff in the pharmacy. He bought seven or eight kinds of ointments and put them in front of her. It was very dazzling.

"You really don't need to buy too many..." Meredith was a little embarrassed.

Last time, it was Parker who helped her. This time, he still paid for her medicine.

"Can't you just think I'm taking care of beautiful things? It's such a pity to leave scars on such a beautiful hand." As Parker spoke, he wanted to grab Meredith's hand.

But just as he was about to touch it, a cold voice suddenly interrupted him.

"Mr. Hill, unfortunately, we meet again."

Derek had been looking coldly as a bystander, but when he saw that these two people were going too far, and they were so close in broad daylight, he couldn't help but interrupt them.

"Mr. Xavier? Why are you here?" Parker heard Derek's voice and frowned.

He hadn't forgotten about Derek bumping into his car for no reason last time.

Although Derek was a man of influence in J City, he really didn't like his reckless character.

"It's just a coincidence." Derek replied flatly. His eyes shifted to Meredith, who was sitting by the side without saying a word. She lowered her head and said nothing.

But as she didn't anything, Derek became even angrier.

"You are not hired to come out and date with someone during office hours with your salary."

Meredith felt awkward when she heard his words.

She had just run into Parker by chance, and it was rather misleading of Derek to say so.

"Sorry, I'll be right back." Meredith got up and was about to pick up the two boxes.

Right now, she didn't want to get involved in their relationship at all. She just wanted to hide as far away as possible.

"Wait, Meredith, do you work for the Xavier Group?" Parker was a little surprised.

Xavier Group was famous for its strict recruitment in J City. And It was not the recruitment season at all. How did she get the offer?

But what was even more strange was that a busy man like Derek would take the initiative to teach a junior employee a lesson.

Did they actually know each other?

"It's a long story. I'll go first." Meredith nodded and was about to leave with her things.

"I'll help you." Parker walked over and grabbed the things. "Mr. Xavier, I'll send your junior employee. Are you okay? It's inconvenient for a little girl to carry such heavy things."

Derek's indifferent gaze swept over them.
