Chapter 40: What’s Wrong With the Beetles
Suzanne was awakened by the ringtone.
She thought that it was the alarm clock she ordered at first, because the ringtone of her alarm clock was the same as the ringtone of her mobile phone. Later, when she opened her eyes and looked at her mobile phone in a daze, she found that it was a call from Nancy.
“It’s not yet seven o’clock, what are you doing?” Suzanne muttered discontentedly, sounding a little impatient.
Although she hadn’t gotten up gas, she hated it when others called her early in the morning, especially when she was sleeping well.
“Suzanne, do you know? The handsome boy is coming!” Nancy screamed on the other end of the phone. As if she didn’t know that it was bad to call at this time, she was extremely excited. “Do you know? He still remembers me.”
Suzanne struggled to sit up from the bed. She yawned and was in a daze. She hummed to show that she heard, “Well, and then?”
Nancy couldn’t be happier. She kept talking. “He called me ten minutes ago and said that he would arrive at the TV station at 10:30 a. m. God, I’m so excited!”
“What does that have to do with me? It’s not my interview,” Suzanne said helplessly. She didn’t forget to remind Nancy, “Since this is your interview, you have to prepare well. Bring out the draft and documents for the meeting as soon as possible.”
“I know. Suzanne is the best!” Nancy giggled and said, “I’m just too excited. What time are you coming to the company? I’ll bring you a basket of steamed dumplings with crab meat later. Do you want it?”
“It’s probably eight o’clock when you go to the store. Can you still buy it?”
“Why can’t I?” Nancy chuckled with a bit of pride. “I’m a regular customer. The boss said that I don’t need to line up when I buy.”
Suzanne smiled and said mischievously, “Okay, then I hope you can bring me breakfast. Thank you, Nancy.”
“Of course. Hurry up. I’m waiting for you to show me the draft.”
Then Suzanne hung up the phone with Nancy.
She scratched her hair and got out of bed with a lazy look on her face. When she felt that her wrist was a little heavy, she couldn’t help looking up and found that she had worn a jade bracelet on her left wrist.
“Huh?” Suzanne’s eyes widened in disbelief.
Didn’t she break the bracelet yesterday? Why did she see the bracelet return to her hand when she woke up? It was incredible. Was there an elf in it?
She bit her lip and felt that her idea was a little ridiculous.
After using all his strength to stare at the jade bangle, Suzanne realised that the jade inside the jade bangle is a deep green, far better than the previous one.
“That’s weird.” She mumbled and stared at the jade bangle on her wrist for a long time. Then, as if she had thought of something, she couldn’t help but turn her head to look at the door.
There didn’t seem to be any changes to the door as it was tightly shut.
“No, it can’t be.” Suzanne’s expression was a little unnatural. When she thought that Edwiin might have entered her room yesterday, she became extremely nervous and flustered. She fumbled around with her hands for a long time.
She hurried to the bathroom and comforted herself as she brushed her teeth.
It’s all right. It’s all right, Suzanne. Don’t overthink it. Edwiin won’t be interested in you.
All of a sudden, his mind was filled with the scene of her drinking in the car and playing with Edwiin. She took the initiative to put her arms around his neck and kiss him, and the tip of her nose was filled with the cold smell of him.
My god!
Suzanne pressed a hand against her forehead. She forced herself to think of something else and erased the memory fragments from her mind.
She didn’t leave much cosmetics at home and didn’t bring any bags for cosmetics. After washing up, she directly patted some refreshing toner and lotion on her face. Then, she casually picked a set of clothes from the wardrobe to change into.
By the time Suzanne finished tidying up her bag and slowly went downstairs, Afra and the others had already sat down at the table for breakfast.
“Good morning.” Suzanne greeted Afra and Frederic. When she caught a glimpse of Edwiin in a white shirt, she held her breath and unconsciously sounded nervous. “Good morning, Edwiin.”
He glanced deeply at her and said, “Good morning.”
Afra couldn’t feel the awkward atmosphere between them at all. She waved to Suzanne with a smile and praised, “Baby, the longer you grow, the more beautiful you will be.”
Suzanne pursed her lips and smiled. Her slightly curly hair fell aside and covered her beautiful face.
After breakfast, Suzanne said goodbye to Afra and went out with Edwiin.
When they arrived at the front and back of the car, she waited for him to unlock the car door. As usual, she wanted to open the door of the passenger’s seat and get in. Unexpectedly, Edwiin threw the car keys into her arms and said lightly, “You drive today.”
“Me?” Suzanne was stunned and whispered, “Edwiin, this isn’t my car.”
Edwiin gave her a deep look. “Don’t tell me you’ve always wanted to drive that ugly Beetle?”
“How is it ugly?” Suzanne retorted. Even she didn’t notice that her tone carried a hint of shamelessness. “It’s a famous brand with many loyal fans.”
Edwiin didn’t say anything and just looked at her calmly.
She shrank her shoulders, fearing that he would turn hostile later. She quickly went around to the other side, opened the door of the driver’s seat, and sat in. She was very obedient.
Edwiin had long legs and adjusted many seats backward. Suzanne, on the other hand, had to adjust her seat several times before it reached a height that was suitable for her.
At first, she was a little nervous and her movements were stiff. Later, when the car drove out of the quiet road of the villa and into the main road, her body relaxed a lot.
After carefully sensing the car, Suzanne couldn’t help but sigh. This luxury car was indeed a luxury car. No matter how one looked at it, it was much better than her car and gave off a particularly comfortable feeling.NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.
Seeing the happy look on her face as she bit her lip, Edwiin couldn’t help saying, “Next time when I’m not busy working, I’ll take you to the large-scale exhibition in Cherry City. You can buy a car.”
“That won’t be necessary.” Suzanne refused in a hurry. “I think my car is pretty good. We can use it for a few more years.”
Hearing her reply, Edwiin snorted and looked disdainful. He didn’t seem interested in her car, but he didn’t say anything. He just lay on the seat and closed his eyes to rest.
What kind of person was he?
Suzanne was unhappy. “What’s wrong with me driving an ordinary car? It’s a famous brand in Country G. After so many years of operation, the most important thing is that it’s not expensive.”
It was unlike this Maybach, which was not only expensive, but also ugly! Although its performance was quite good.
