Mrs. Gibson, Your Identily Is Exposed

Chapter 23

Chapter 23 Apologize to Me

“I…” The waitress was flustered. She looked at Adela, showing a pleading look.

Adela gritted her teeth, staring at the waitress threateningly.

The waitress trembled and immediately knelt to Melissa.”I’m sorry, Ms. Eugen. Actually, I stole the ring,”

“Really?” Melissa curled her lips. Melissa did not believe her.

She was just a waitress. How could she have the guts to steal Adela’s ring and imputed it to Melissa?

Moreover, it is impossible for her to design such a perfect plan.

“I’m sorry. It’s all my fault. I stole Ms. Yale’s ring. Please forgive me. I didn’t do it on purpose. I won’t do it again.” The waitress cried bitterly.

Seeing the waitress admit all crimes, Adela sighed with relief.

“You stole my ring but why would my ring show in Melissa’s handbag?” Adela asked as if she had nothing to do with the waitress.

“At the very beginning, I planned to take it away after I got off work. But I didn’t expect Ms. Yale would find out it was gone and let the security guards search. I was afraid of being discovered, so I hid the ring in Ms. Eugen’s handbag when no one was seeing.”

The waitress’s face was pale. “Please forgive me, I really didn’t do it on purpose. My mother is very ill and needs money for surgery.”

“Who told you to do so?” Melissa asked in a deep voice.

“No one taught me.” The waitress’s voice shook slightly. Her eyes filled with fear, turning to the direction of Adela.

Adela was afraid that Melissa would find out the truth. So she said, “Forget it. Since I’ve found the ring, I don’t want to blame you. After all, what you did is to save your mother.”

“Thank you, Ms. Yale. Thank you, Ms. Yale.” Tears brimmed in the waitress’s eyes.

“Why not? That was not what Ms. Yale said when she thought I was the thief,” Melissa smirked indifferently.

“The ring has been found. Adela would like to let it go. No more discussion.” Archer announced, stopping Melissa to embarrass Adela.

Adela waved her hand and let the director take the waitress away. She took the ring and was about to leave.

“Wait a minute.” Melissa took a step forward in front of Adela.

Bullying is unacceptable for Melissa. She wouldn’t let the waitress leave easily and end the thing without any protesting.

“What do you want?” Adela looked at Melissa anxiously.

Melissa plastered a fake smile and said in a disdainful tone, “Ms. Yale, I don’t expect you to leave now. A moment ago, you accused me of stealing the ring and even wanted to send me to jail. Now that the truth has been revealed, shouldn’t you apologize to me?”

“You!” Adela was choked by Melissa’s word. Asking her to kill herself would be easier for Adele than apologizing to Melissa.

“Apologize to Melissa.”Murray said in a low and cold voice.

Murray had an intimidating glory that was making Adela afraid. His impact caused her to take a step back.

“Sorry, Melissa. It was my fault.” Adela clenched her fists.

“What are you saying? I didn’t hear you.” Melissa rubbed her ears.

Adela tried her best to press the anger and raised her voice. She gritted her teeth and spat out, “Sorry!”

After apologizing to Melissa, Adela turned to leave.

Archer cleared his throat before comforting Melissa, “Ms. Eugen, I’m really sorry. What happened was a mistake. It can’t be blamed on Adela. Don’t take it seriously.”

Melissa smiled to retort him, “I hope that next time, Mr. Yale will be able to find out clearly. Don’t listen to others blindly.”

Melissa’s words made Archer feel uncomfortable. He soon changed the topic. “Ms. Eugen, are your hands alright? How about I ask someone to send you to the hospital?”

“No. I’ll leave now.” After this night of torment, Melissa felt a little tired. She picked up her handbag and walked towards the gate.

She walked out and was about to take a taxi back when suddenly, lightning flashed and thunder rumbled in the sky. It began to rain.

No way! Why was I so unlucky? Melissa thought.

She internally cringed because she didn’t bring an umbrella.

The bean-sized raindrops fell on Melissa, making her feel cold.

Melissa was just thinking to find a place to hide when a black Bentley stopped right beside her.

It was Murray’s car,

The door opened and Murray get off.

“Get in the car.”

Melissa was stunned. Why did Murray leave as well? Should he be at the banquet?

Melissa seemed to be unwilling to take his car. Murray frowned. “Why not get in?”

“Thank you.” Melissa finally got in, sitting next to him. Recalling her awkwardness last time, she fastened her seatbelt immediately.

Murray watched as a drop of rain ran from Melissa’s jaw down to her neck into her V-line dress. She wore a well-tailored red dress, which perfectly clung to her sexy body. Her scent blew to his face, making him dizzy for a second. Finding it hard to concentrate, Murray breathed out deeply then gripped the steering wheel tightly.

“Where are you going?” Melissa looked out the window. This was not the way home.

“To the hospital.” Murray glanced at her.

The hospital?

“Why?” Melissa was surprised.

“Your hands are still red.” Murray knitted his brow. He wanted to send her to the hospital for a

check.

“There’s no need. It’s just an allergy,” Melissa said.

Murray’s face is a little gloomy. “Why do you hurt yourself?”

“What can I do? They accuse me of being a thief.”

“You can use other methods,” Murray replied.

“Is there a better way?” Melissa rubbed her eyebrows.

Adela had perfectly schemed to frame her, and all the evidence was very unfavorable to her. Her allergy was the best proof that she did not touch that ring. Melissa could not think there was a better way.

Murray looked at her and said in a low voice, “You can ask me for help.”

Was this the better way he said? Melissa was speechless.

“Whatever, thank you for your goodness,” she said with a smile.

In fact, Melissa was a little grateful that Murray was willing to believe her.

Murray was expressionless, but he snorted. This woman was beyond his expectations.

Calm and smart. She was completely different from what he had imagined her to be.

Murray took Melissa to the hospital. The doctor checked her hands carefully. Luckily, her allergy was not serious. After getting an ointment from the doctor, Melissa and Murray returned home

Murray walked into the room and strode towards the bathroom. “I’m going to take a shower.”

With the sound of running water came from the bathroom, Melissa sat on the sofa, took out the ointment, and smeared it on finger was still a little itchy.

Distracted, Melissa did not aware the running water sound had stopped. She stood up in a trance, but suddenly bumped into a chin above. “Bang!” Melissa felt a burst of pain in her head. She looked up and saw Murray standing in front of her.

He wore a white bathrobe, with the top two buttons open, showing his six-pack. His hair was wet, dripping water from his neck down his muscular shoulder over his pecs and down into his chest before stopping at his thing. He was really built like a god.

Because of the crash, his sharp jaw turned red. He stared at Melissa with her face distorted. Gulping, Melissa took a step back, trying to escape from her crime scene. But Murray immediately grabbed her wrist and turned her to face him. “Why are you so scared of me?”

Melissa widened her eyes. “No, I’m not. When did you…?” His large, warm hands on her waist were sending delicious shivers through her whole body.

For goodness sake, I had an urge to close my eyes and lean into him. What’s wrong with me. Melissa thought

“What do you want to say?”his husky voice and minty breath fanning her face sent thrills all through her body.

“When did you … come here?” she stuttered. Eyes tangled, he held her in a trance.

Froze, her core could feel his bulge under his robe.
