Chapter 478
Chapter 478
The office fell into silence, or maybe their voices were too low for me to hear.
Since I came here, I decided to stay. I wanted to see what's going on.
I walked over, put my hand on the door handle, and gently pressed it.
The door opened a little.
I heard Kelsi said. "Well, since I can't get it, then I won't let you get it either. We'll have a life- and- death struggle."
As soon as she finished her words, I heard Shelton said. "Who's there?"
Obviously, he noticed me.
I couldn't continue eavesdropping, so I opened the door and went in.
They looked at me, and Shelton's expression was a little surprised. As for Kelsi, she was surprised at first, but soon a smug smile flashed across her face.
Kelsi opened her mouth first. "What a coincidence, we are just talking about you."
There was a hint of impatience in Shelton's expression. He asked, "Why are you here?"
I stood where I was and said with a cold expression, "Today is the day I come to get medicine. What? You forget it?"
Hearing this, Shelton, sitting on his desk, took out his mobile phone and looked at the time. He frowned slightly and said to me, "It's tomorrow."
"Tomorrow?"
I thought I was on the right side, but I didn't expect to remember the wrong day.
I took out my phone and looked at my record.
I really thought it was today.
I calculated the time quickly again.
And only realized that I had miscalculated.
Because I have counted the time of four times to get the medicine at the beginning, and this time it was the last time. I never thought about did I count it right at all.
Kelsi sat on the sofa, looked up at me, and said with a smile, "Miss Nolan, since you are here, please sit down. I have something to talk with you."
"What's the matter? Just say it." I didn't hold a good attitude when faced with Kelsi.
I remembered clearly what she and her mother had done to my mom last time.
Upon hearing this, Kelsi's face immediately darkened and she sneered. "What's going on? Do you still take yourself seriously? Without Patrick, who do you think you are? It's easier for us to strangle you than to step on ants."
"Then do it. Anyway, Dr. Shelton has already seized my weak point. What am I afraid of?"
I stood still and looked at Shelton.
Although I still had hope in my heart, I was not afraid anymore.
After all, fear was useless.
To put it bluntly, Glenn's life was held by Shelton. He and Kelsi were in the same group. One was a rich second generation, and the other was a big shot in the pharmaceutical industry.
And I, was just a small designer.
As Kelsi said, it was easier to crush me than to kill an ant.
Seeing that I was so self- aware, Kelsi smiled. "Aren't you going to marry Shelton? After you get married, I want you to leave City Y."
"Why?" I looked at her and deliberately stood beside Shelton and said, "City Y and City S are the only two most developed cities in the country. He is doing so well in City Y now, with all his relationships over here. Why should we have to leave just because of you?"
After I finished speaking, I glanced at Shelton.
Sure enough, he slightly lifted the corners of his mouth, with a trace of smile on his face.
Upon hearing this, Kelsi said, "So what? I still have the draft of your video. I can publish it at any time."
When she mentioned this matter, I clenched my fists and found it hard to control my emotions.
What she had done gave Patrick no choice but to try to help me block it and ended up getting revenge from others!
"Didn't you publish it once?" I looked at Kelsi with an inquiry.
I wanted to see what she felt about this matter.
As expected, after I said it, Kelsi's face darkened.
But soon she recovered and said, "It is quite mercy for me to just broke his leg."
"Really? It seems that Miss Kelsi has no feelings for Patrick."
"We just grew up together. My parents said that I would marry him and I thought so. Who would have thought that I would be fooled by him again and again? That's why I gave him a taste of pain."
Kelsi sat there and said calmly.
I looked at her and felt a little funny. I remembered that the last time we talked, her attitude was quite
different.
Why did she behave like a superior lady all of a sudden?
There must be a reason for this.
I looked at Shelton.
He had been sitting in the boss's chair since just now, without saying a word.
Now hearing what she said, he couldn't help but smiled. He raised his hand and beckoned me to go over.
In his place, apparently I had to give him face. After hesitating for a while, I finally went over.
Shelton put his arm around my waist and said to Kelsi, "Miss Kelsi, you are also a famous lady in City Y. Whether in terms of social status or background, you are better than my Janetta. But men love her, not you. Don't you think it's shameful? What are you still arguing here?"
He made Kelsi's face turn pale in a few words.
She stared at Shelton and said with a fake smile, "Well, well, what's wrong with you? Do you believe she loves you and is willing to marry you just because she says something for you? Tell you what, Shelton, she and Patrick love each other no matter where they are!" "Since you know it, what are you clinging to?"
Shelton took her words and asked her.
Kelsi looked at Shelton and sneered. "Then what are you clinging to? We are all clinging to the same thing. Why do you ask me?"
Hearing what Kelsi said, Shelton's face was still calm.
He drew back his hand, propped both elbows on the table.
He looked at Kelsi and said slowly, "How do you know that we are clinging to the same thing?"
Kelsi suddenly became speechless.
She bit her lip. "You fooled me?"
"I didn't."
Shelton maintained his posture.
In front of me, Kelsi seemed to want to say something several times but stopped on a second thought. Finally, she picked up the bag beside her, turned around and left in anger.
Not a single word was left behind.
After Kelsi left, Shelton looked at me.
He grabbed my left hand and gently kissed it. Then he opened the drawer next to him with the other hand, took out a black velvet box, and put it on the desk.
He looked up at me and said, "I was going to give it to you tomorrow, but since you're here today, I'll give it to you now."
I looked at the small square box.
Even if it wasn't opened, I knew what was inside.
Even Shirley did not move Shelton, did it?
In the end, I couldn't hide from this.
I didn't say anything. He stood up, opened the box with one hand and asked me in a gentle voice, "Do you like it?"
