Chapter 23 - 23 Apologize To Me

"Since you stole it, how could my ring be in Nora's bag?" Brittany was busy clearing her relationship and asked.

"I was going to take the ring away secretly when I got off work, but I didn't expect Brittany to find the ring missing so soon and let the security guards look everywhere. I was afraid of being discovered, so I hid the ring in Nora's bag when people didn't pay attention."

The waiter's face was pale. "Please forgive me, I didn't mean it. My mother is very ill and needs money urgently for surgery."

"Who instructed you to do this?" Nora twisted her eyebrows and sank.

"No one instructed me, I stole it myself." The waiter's voice trembled slightly, and her scared eyes always looked in the direction of Brittany.

Brittany was scared and bit her lips "Forget it. Since the ring has been found back, I don't want to pursue this matter for your filial piety."

"Thank you, Brittany, thank you, Brittany." The waiter kowtowed and apologized to Brittany.

"Don't pursue? That's not what you said when you thought I stole the ring just now." Nora said calmly.

"Since the ring has been returned to its original owner, Brittany also said that it will not pursue it. Let's forget it." Seeing Brittany speechless by Nora, Steph patted Brittany on the shoulder with a crutch.Brittany hurriedly waved her hand and asked the director to take the waiter away. She also took the ring and turned to leave.

"Wait a minute." Nora blocked Brittany's way.

Now she wanted to go?

No way.

She would never let anyone bully her.

"What do you want to do?" Brittany looked warily at Nora.

Nora smiled with some contempt. "Brittany, you don't just want to leave, do you? Just now so many of you accused me of stealing the ring and took me to the police station. Now that the truth has come out, shouldn't you apologize to me?"

"Bitch!" Brittany was speechless for a moment.

Let her apologize to Nora. You wish.

"Apologize to Nora."

A low and condensed man's voice came, it was Asher.

Asher's powerful aura made Brittany involuntarily take a step back.

The hands hanging on both sides of the body clenched tightly. Brittany's tone was extremely unwilling. "I'm sorry Nora, I misunderstood you just now."

Nora rubbed her ear. "What are you talking about? I didn't hear you clearly."

Brittany tried her best to suppress her anger. She raised her voice and said,"I'm sorry!"

After saying that, Brittany couldn't stand it any longer and left.

After all, Steph was used to big scenes. He cleared his throat and said to Nora, "Nora, I'm really sorry. What happened just now was a misunderstanding. Don't worry about it."

Nora smiled. "I hope that the next time I encounter this kind of thing again, Steph can recognize it thoroughly, don't follow others' advice, and scold others casually."

Nora's words directly kept Steph from stepping down.

He smirked a few times. "Miss Nora, is your hand all right? Why don't I have someone take you to the hospital?"

"No, I'm tired. I'll go first." After the night's ordeal, Nora did feel a little tired. She yawned and picked up her bag and turned to leave.

Just out of the hotel, Nora was about to take a taxi back when suddenly the sky flashed and thundered, and soon it began to rain cats and dogs.

Come on, she was so unlucky.

Nora could hardly cry. She didn't have an umbrella with her.

Bean-sized raindrops fell and hit Nora, with bursts of coolness.

Nora was trying to find a place to take shelter from the rain when suddenly a black Bentley stopped beside her impartially.

It's Asher's car.

The car door opened and Asher's handsome face appeared in front of Nora.

His thin lips were slightly lifted, and he spit out two words concisely, "Get in."

Nora slightly stunned.

Why was Asher gone? Wouldn’t he continue to attend the banquet?

See Nora become speechless, Asher picked his eyebrows, "still don't come up?

"Thank you." Nora sat in the co-pilot seat. Thinking of the embarrassment last time, she immediately fastened her seat belt.

Asher quietly rolled the Adam's apple. Big hands with clear joints and bones hold the steering wheel tightly.

The woman in front of her was very beautiful. The well-cut big red dress perfectly hooked out her lithe and graceful body.

Just now, when he was drenched by the rain, her dress was tightly attached to her body, which made her look sexy and charming.

"Where are you going?" Nora looked out of the window. This was not the way home.

Asher looked sideways at her. "Go to the hospital."

Hospital?

"What are you doing in the hospital?" Nora paused.

Asher frowned slightly. "Your hands are so red."

It turned out that he wanted to take her to the hospital to see her hands.

Nora smiled. "Don't bother, it's just an allergy."

Asher's face was a little gloomy. "Why do you want to hurt yourself like this?"

"Otherwise? Do I have to let others frame me as a thief?" Nora's body tilted slightly.

"You can use other methods." Asher said coldly.

"Is there any better way?" Nora rubbed her eyebrows.

In the situation just now, Brittany deliberately framed her, and all the evidence was against her.

She used allergy to prove directly that she had not touched the ring.

Nora didn’t think there was any better way.

Asher gave her a deep look and said in a low voice, "You can ask me for help."

Uh, was this the better way he said?

Nora was speechless.

She raised her lips and smiled. "Anyway, thank you."

In fact, Asher was willing to believe in her character, and Nora was still a little grateful.

Asher was expressionless, but snorted coldly from his nasal cavity.

This woman was quite unexpected to him.

Calm and smart.

It's totally different from what he imagined.

Asher sent Nora to the hospital. The doctor examined her. Her hand was allergic and there was no serious problem. She prescribed an ointment for Nora.

Back home, Nora and Asher entered the room.

"I'm going to take a bath." As soon as Asher stepped on his long legs, he walked towards the bathroom.

The sound of water in the bathroom came. Nora sat on the sofa, took out the ointment that the doctor had just prescribed for him, and carefully smeared it on her fingers.

Although it was only allergic, it still itched.

After applying the ointment, Nora stood up, but accidentally bumped into the man's chin overhead.

There was a bang, a pain in her head, and Nora looked up. Asher didn't know when he stood in front of her.

Nora's eyes widened. "When did you come here?"

Chapter 24 Lost something

The man who had a straight figure stood beside Nora secretly. He was wearing only a white bathrobe and his chest buttons were open, revealing his strong abs.

Because of the pain caused by being hit on the chin, the handsome face was serious, the hair was wet, and the tip of the hair was dripping with water. This man was extremely gorgeous.

Nora was stunned for a moment and had to admit that this man was handsome.

"Have you watched enough?" Asher saw Nora staring at him in a daze and hooked his lips.

"When did you come? How can you walk without any sound?" Nora returned to absolute being. She rubbed her head and looked away. "Put on your clothes quickly."

Asher gracefully buttoned and looked at Nora with a smile. "It seems that you hit me."

It was Nora who hit him. But she complained about him.

"Well, I’m going to take a bath." Nora was puzzled by his eyes and flustered. She quickly took her clothes and walked towards the bathroom.

What's wrong with Asher? He wore too little.

Looking at the back of Nora, who was running away from him. Asher became pretty serious. Was he so terrible?

"Knock."

Nora was halfway through the bath when she heard someone knocking on the bathroom door.

"Who is it?" Nora suddenly became nervous.

Who could knock on the bathroom door? At this time, Asher was the only one here.

What did he want?

Sure enough, through the bathroom door, Asher said, "It's me."

Nora was stunned and asked him, "What are you doing? I'm taking a bath."

"You dropped your things." Asher's voice was deep and dumb.

"What is it?" Nora turned off the tap and wrapped herself in a bath towel.

Asher must have done it on purpose!

She didn’t think she had dropped anything. Even if she did, couldn’t he wait until she went out to tell her?

What exactly did he want?

Couldn’t he be a... Peeping Tom?

Nora twisted her eyebrows and made up her mind that if Asher did something rude, she would not be polite. She was not easy to handle!

"Check yourself to see what's missing." Asher looked down at what was in his hand and smiled.

Nora was confusing. She looked around and realized that the pantie she had just taken to change was gone!

Hell no!

She must have just dropped it outside in a hurry.

Did Asher found it?

That was too...

Nora flushed. She crept to the bathroom door, opened a small gap, and leaned out of her head. "Well, I accidentally dropped it just now. Give it to me."

The orange light shined on her face, and the skin that had just been steamed with water was like an egg peeled off, white and tender, with a blush.

Asher's eyes could not help but deepen. He smiled and handed the pant to her. "Be careful, don't drop it again."

"Thanks!" Nora quickly took it, but accidentally touched his hand.

The scorching temperature in the palm of her hand suddenly made Nora flushed. She quickly closed the door.

Her heart was pounding like a fawn.

That was so embarrassing.

If she had known it would be so embarrassing, why did she promise Grandpa to come to The Hawn family?

Nora took a few deep breaths before driving away from the inexplicable tension in her heart.

After taking a bath, Nora came out and saw Asher sitting on the sofa.

His slender legs folded at will. He was holding a financial magazine and staring at it, with his handsome eyes slightly narrowed.

"I’m going to sleep." Nora stepped up to Asher. After saying that, she found that her words seemed to be ambiguous.

"Oh?" Asher looked up and said in a charming voice. "Are you inviting me?"

What?!

What the hell?

Nora couldn't help spitting out. She was really tired and just wanted to sleep.

But why those words became so weird...

"Asher!" Nora became pretty serious, "Please don't be so narcissistic. You and I are just a contractual relationship made by the elders of both parties. We will break off the engagement in three months. Don't make such jokes!"

Narcissistic?

It's the first time a woman dared to say that about him.

Asher became serious. Suddenly he stood up and looked down at the woman in front of him. "Don't worry. I don't like a woman like you who has no figure."

She had no figure?

Nora smoked her mouth. She had a hot ass!

Nora rolled her eyes to Asher.

The woman in front of her was like a furious white rabbit. Asher said seriously, "I'll go to the study."

After saying that, he quickly left here and turned away to the study.

His mind was full of beautiful images of Nora.

Nora was graceful and pretty, smart and confident, neither humble nor supercilious.

It's just a pity that she was not the person he was looking for.

He started to think about what happened at his age of thirteen.

"Asher, your hand is hurt. I'll bandage it for you." A girl several years younger than him, wearing a ponytail and a handkerchief in her small hand, carefully bandaged Asher and tied a beautiful bow.

"Does it still hurt?" The girl looked up, her beautiful eyes flickering.

Asher held her in her arms and said firmly. "It doesn't hurt, don't be afraid, Mia, someone will come to save us!"

After thinking about that, Asher opened the drawer, carefully took out a faded handkerchief, and looked at it for a long time.

How's his Mia now?

...

When Nora woke up the next morning, the room was empty.

Did Asher stay in the study all night last night?

Nora rubbed her temples as if she had really misunderstood him?

Also, a man like him standing at the top of the pyramid. So many women want to have sex with him. And in his mind, she was just a poor girl from the countryside.

How could he want her?

This was the best. After three months, she and Asher could break off their engagement peacefully.

Her grandpa would never blame her anymore.

After thinking about that, Nora was in a good mood and was in a hurry to go to work in the company.

As soon as she arrived at the company, Nora was called by Sarah.

"What can I do for you?" Nora looked at Sarah faintly. Sarah had been looking for trouble again and again before, which bored Nora.

She was not sure what kind of troubles would be made by Sarah this time.
