C14 The Road Is Frightening

Priscilla glanced at Bianca and Una, who were looking at her curiously. She was afraid that if they didn't go down, it would become a big problem. "Alright, thank you, Miss Penrose."

Rosetta smiled faintly and bowed politely. She replied, "No, I should be thanking Chief Latimer for showing me face."

Rosetta walked out of the office very quickly. Priscilla's legs were limp, and she couldn't catch up even when the elevator door was closed.

After a long time, Rosetta's figure was nowhere to be seen.

The pain in her ankle made her regret her decision.

She knew that Rosetta did it on purpose. She loved to play such a childish game.

Two minutes later, the phone rang.

"Where are you?" Priscilla was furious.

"Yo, Ms Priscilla, don't be angry. I'm right next to you. Just look to the left. Do you see me? I'm waving at you."

In the Italian restaurant next door, Rosetta was indeed waving at her, but Lachlan was nowhere to be seen.

"Obviously, you are the one who is looking for me. Why are you using him as a cover?"

"If I don't say it, how can I know that you are looking forward to seeing Hao?"

"If you want to blame someone, you can do it. Just say it."

"You are smart. You know that I won't eat with you peacefully."

"The wise man once said, 'Seeing a man after a long time is like seeing a man.'"

"The wise man also said, 'People should know themselves.' I think that you, Priscilla, have disappointed me."

Priscilla froze. "I didn't do anything that went against the rules, so I don't need to satisfy your wish."

"You still say that you didn't?" Rosetta suddenly growled and stood up. She realized that she had attracted the attention of the guests and slowly sat down again.

"Please tell me. I'm a crude person and I don't know how to speak in secret."

"What's wrong with the cold medicine? What's wrong with the Bai Yun medicine?"

Priscilla looked at the woman in front of her in disbelief. "You eavesdropped on us?"

Rosetta turned her face away and said, "You guys are too loud!"

"So what? He gave me the Bai Yun medicine, and I gave him the cold medicine. Shouldn't I?"

"You're really smart. Why do you care so much about him? Why do you care so much about him? What exactly do you want from him?"

Priscilla was speechless. She didn't know why she cared so much about him!

"How did you promise me that you would return me the surnamed Jenkins if he married her? Now, not only did you not return him the medicine, you even tried to curry favor with him. It seems that you have really forgotten your roots."

"It's not that I don't want to return it to you, but we can't get married! Besides, what's the difference between me returning it and not returning it? You come in and out of the house every day. You hold all the keys to all the rooms. You can go to him whenever you want. Why are you in such a hurry?"

"Does that mean you're reluctant to return it to me?" She glanced at Priscilla and had an answer for today's test.

This woman was really coveting her man.

"I never had such an idea!" Priscilla quickly defended herself.

"I don't care if you have it or not! I just want you to remember one thing. Lachlan is only my man!"

Priscilla finally understood that she was afraid.

"Are you afraid? When I saw him come back last night, he was very angry. I'm afraid you provoked him?"

"You!"

Priscilla stood up and warned her before she left, "First, you used a fake marriage. Now, you even used a fake dizziness. He is so smart. He probably saw through you, right? A woman should not play so many tricks to attract people. As you said, you should know your own worth."

However, this was only her guess. At this moment, she finally understood that Rosetta did not have any sense of security. In other words, their so-called love was not that deep. She actually felt a sense of relief.

Rosetta stared at Priscilla's limping figure as she walked into the company. Suddenly, she recalled what Mrs. Rowley had said to her a month ago.

The employees filed out of the company after work.

Priscilla, who had just finished the meeting, finally did not need to work overtime today. Bianca and Una wanted to pull her to the bar to celebrate.

Priscilla originally wanted to relax, but when she thought about her foot, she frowned and refused.

"Really, even after applying Director Rowley's medicine, your foot still doesn't feel good. Isn't your foot a bit too delicate? However, I already knew about your character. Even if your foot can jump now, I don't think you will go!" Una rolled her eyes and complained. She thought that it was because Priscilla didn't want to go, because she had always disliked those kinds of occasions. In the past, she had repeatedly invited her, but she had always refused.

Bianca pushed her and said, "What are you talking about? Did Priscilla want it? According to your logic, you see your Junior Director Rowley every day, but you don't save up the food expenses!"

"You!"

Priscilla smiled. She did not know how Bianca and Una, two people from different dimensions, got together.

"You guys should go quickly. The nightclub is about to start. I'll treat you guys next time, okay?"

"Yo, Ms Priscilla, you said it! Once your feet are healed, you must invite us to your place immediately. It's a deal!" Una's face changed instantly as she hugged Priscilla with her arms.

"Alright, alright, alright." Priscilla smiled helplessly.

"Then we'll be leaving soon. Don't waste your time on the bus today. Just take a taxi home, okay?" Before leaving, Bianca didn't forget to remind her.

"Got it. Let's go. What will happen if we keep talking?"

"Tsk, you don't know what's good for you. We really are leaving! You have to be careful," Bianca said and dragged Una away.

After watching them leave, she continued to move towards the bus station.

Her feet were getting more and more painful, and the pain was getting more and more intense. When the pain reached her heart, she was forced to cry.

She had no choice but to take off her shoes and sit on the chair beside the fountain.

Her high heels were really a burden. If it wasn't for her, she wouldn't have gotten her foot injured.

Because taking off her shoes in the company was an indecent action, she had to hold on until now. However, there was no shoe shop around, so after looking around for a while, she looked at the high heels in her hands dejectedly.

All of this was seen by Lachlan, who was holding Rosetta's hand.

The woman who was rubbing her ankle and holding a pair of high heels with a face full of worry was suddenly making him feel a little... pity for her.

"Hao, what are you looking at?" She followed his gaze and noticed Priscilla, and a flame of anger ignited in her eyes.

"Nothing." He turned around and asked, "What do you want to eat?"

Rosetta pretended to think for a moment, "I want to eat Italian noodles from the restaurant nearby."

"Wait for me here. I'll go get the car." After saying that, she walked towards the garage. Before she left, she didn't forget to look at the fountain.

Her eyes were filled with the back of Priscilla. She actually... carried her high heels and limped towards the opposite side of the road.

Because she was walking slowly, the green light lit up and she was still dawdling on the road.

She still had to hurry up!

The car that was parked also started to move slowly.

"Damn woman, hurry up!" Lachlan clenched her fists and looked at the only thin figure on the road.

Just as she was about to reach the bus station, a car suddenly rushed towards her.
