Chapter 679
Ryleigh quickly got up with her coat, ran toward the car, opened the door, got into the front passenger seat, and fastened her seat belt.” Helios, that’s very kind of you! I just knew that you wouldn’t leave me!”
She then turned around to take a look at the man who was sitting in the driver’s seat, and her smiling face stiffened in an instant. “Why is it you?”
She looked back at the empty back seat, and no one was there,
Louis smelled the strong, alcoholic odor that originated from her body, and his expression remained unchanged as he lowered the car window.” Your cousin doesn’t have the time to take care of you.” “… Did Helios ask you to come?” Ryleigh was astonished.
She then thought of why Helios would agree so readily when she called earlier. ‘He agreed to it without planning to come in person all along! What a cousin! Louis did not say anything. Id better call my father to open the door for me.” Ryleigh unfastened her seat belt and was about to open the car door. Surprisingly, Louis locked the door all of a sudden,
and she could not open it. Thus, she stared at him in horror and doubt. “What are you doing?”
He smiled. “Where did you muster the courage to come home so drunk so late in the night? Aren’t you afraid that Uncle Hill will beat the crap out of you?”
“Then I…” Ryleigh stammered. She really did not dare to wake her father and ask him to open the door for her. “Then just take me to the nearest hotel.”
As soon as she said that her cell phone screen went black, and it shut down automatically.
Louis raised his eyebrows. “Do you have the money to check yourself into a hotel?” Ryleigh took out her purse, opened it up, and glanced a t its content. There were only $7 and a few pennies left.
Louis scoffed. “You’re so broke, huh?”
“Why am I poor?” Ryleigh flung her purse at him. “Isn’t it because of you? I’ve been unemployed for three years because no company in Bassburgh would hire me, thanks to you. Can I apologize to you now? I’m sorry! Everything’s my fault.” Ryleigh was so drunk that she could not keep herself together anymore, so she sat in the car and started crying non-stop. Louis picked up her wallet, put it away, and glanced at her. Seeing that she could not stop weeping, he asked with a more pleasing tone, “I have a job vacancy on hand now, do you want it?”
She choked, sobbed, and asked, “What’s the job?”
He stared at her. “The Royal Academy of Music is currently recruiting a tutor for the folk music department.”
Ryleigh was astounded. Her crying face dimmed instantly, and she gnashed her teeth and rejected his offer without any hesitation. “Over my dead body!”
