Zelda Maine looked up at Chuck Cannon. After a moment of silence, she nodded. "Yes."
Chuck breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that it was getting late, so he decided to go home. After all, the coffee shop was going to close soon.
Anyway, they both lived in the same complex, so they can go home together.
The two of them walked out of the cafe and pressed the button for the elevator.
Chuck wondered if Zelda still felt upset. He asked, "Zelda,
"Yes, I understand," Zelda said.
Chuck felt helpless. What did she know? They were silent the whole time. They didn't say anything, and Chuck almost choked to death during the silence. He had been thinking about a question all the time.
Originally, he just wanted to be Zelda's 'friend with benefits'. Since it was a symbiotic need, then they should just 'help' each other at night. Anyway, they lived in the same complex. He could go to Zelda's home or she can easily come to his home. When the day comes, they would leave and not interfere with each other's lives.
However, Chuck didn't expect them to be asked to get married all of a sudden. After all, Chuck hadn't thought about it yet.
However, seeing that she was depressed all afternoon, Chuck thought, "Could it be that this headstrong Zelda, who has always been single, wants to get married?"
Chuck decided not to speak.
"Don't feel stressed." Zelda suddenly said.
She went on to say, "My mother and the aunties just brought it up casually. Don't feel stressed. Just because I 'helped' you that day, don't feel obliged to be responsible."
The sense of loss in her heart was even heavier. She thought for the whole afternoon, If she married Chuck, what would happen? She felt that their personalities were quite compatible. In fact, it should work out fine. If Chuck agreed, she would also agree. The two of them would live a good life, but...
It was too difficult for Chuck to say anything, he was a little embarrassed. Unconsciously, Zelda's words reminded him of what had happened in the car that night... Oh no, he was getting aroused just thinking about it...
Zelda had originally been lowering her head, but she accidentally caught a glimpse of his bulging nether regions. She was stunned. She was in a dilemma. Why would Chuck get aroused at this time? Was it because she had spoken too frankly earlier? No way!
Zelda bit her lip and plucked up the courage to say,
"Why don't... I 'help' you?"
Chuck was stunned, and he also felt that it was difficult to explain. At this time, Zelda was very upset. The fact that he was having such desires now seemed so inappropriate, and he really wanted to find a hole to hide in.
However, Chuck had always had such lustful ideas about Zelda. Plus, she offered it herself. He was a hot-blooded youth, he couldn't help that he had such reactions quite quickly.
However...
"Don't stress out. I'm just helping you. It's not a good idea to endure it." Zelda continued.
She felt her face burning hot because she took the initiative to say something like this to a boy almost eight years younger than she was. Did she really like him?
"I can't afford to see him holding back, and I don't want to see him suffer. Is this just platonic concern for a little brother?"
"Or is it because I actually like him?" Zelda didn't understand herself, and she sighed in her heart.
Chuck was so excited that he thought, "If we go to the office..."
But then, Chuck felt a sense of fear. He didn't want to marry her, but he accepted her offer. Wasn't he too shameless?
Just as Chuck was in a dilemma...
Ding, the elevator arrived at this time.
When the elevator door opened, Chuck was stunned because Yvette Jordan was in the elevator. She had just gotten off work. When she saw Chuck and Zelda together, she was also a little stunned. They had a scent of coffee about them.
Were they having a drink in a cafe?
Zelda was feeling very awkward. If Yvette had heard what she said just now, how embarrassing would that be?
The two of them stood at the door and didn't move. "Come in?" Yvette asked.
Chuck quickly nodded that he was coming in. The two of them entered the elevator, and then...
The three of them stood in the elevator, and the atmosphere was a little awkward.
Chuck was in a hurry to put out the lust in his heart.
How embarrassing would it be if Yvette saw this? Chuck was standing behind Yvette. He did not dare to look at her behind at all. Otherwise... he hurriedly shook his head. The emotions in his heart were forcefully suppressed.
Ding, the elevator door opened.
The three of them walked out. Subconsciously,
Chuck followed behind Zelda. After all, they lived in the same complex.
But... a voice came from behind.
"Chuck, why don't... Why don't I send you home today?" It was Yvette who was speaking. Chuck was surprised.
He turned his head and looked at Yvette's cold and calm expression. Did she actually take the initiative to offer him a ride?
Zelda stopped. She was silent. She was just thinking about how Chuck was already so aroused.
Then she would help him solve it in the car, just like the last time. They could do it in his car or even in a corner where there was no one. Anyway, there was no one in the parking lot now, and the lights were not bright.
However...
It was beyond Zelda's expectation that Yvette would take the initiative to speak.
"Don't trouble Director Maine. I'll send you home today," Yvette said.
Chuck too, didn't expect Zelda to send him home. He drove here on his own. But Chuck was helpless now. Why did Yvette suddenly offer this?
Could it be that Yvette was jealous?
"l don't think so. Yvette doesn't like me and doesn't have any expression on her face. Perhaps she's really afraid that I'll trouble Zelda?" He concluded silently.
"Well, Chuck, let her send you back today." Zelda smiled and walked to her car. She opened the door and sat down, then drove quickly out of the parking lot.
Then...
"Come on, get in the car." Yvette walked to the other side coldly. Chuck was still startled, but he had to follow her.
When they got in Yvette's cold car, it was quiet inside. Yvette didn't say anything, and Chuck could only sit there primly, but he was actually thinking about some crazy things.
There were only two of them in the car. There was no one on the roads, so she could find a place where there was no one to stop the car at any time... If Yvette could 'help' him silently like Zelda did, then...
It was impossible!
After all, Yvette and Zelda had different personalities. Chuck shook his head.
Soon, they arrived at the place where Yvette dropped him off the last time, which was on the opposite side of his residential complex. Yvette stopped the car.
"Thank you," Chuck said, then opened the door and got out.
"I will drive over in future," Yvette said coldly.
"Huh?" Chuck was stunned.
"Don't you understand? You're working in the plaza, and I'm also working there. We get off at almost the same time. I'll send you home, it's on the way anyway," Yvette said.
"Is it? We live in opposite directions..." Chuck said subconsciously.
"It's none of your business. I said it's on the way!" Yvette glared at Chuck and drove away in anger.
Chuck touched his nose. After a helpless smile, he thought that since Zelda drove so fast, she should have arrived home first. Chuck walked over to the complex.
But at this time, Chuck's mobile phone rang. He answered it doubtfully, and Charlotte Yate's anxious voice came out from the phone.
"Chuck, where are you? Can you do me a favour?"
"What's wrong?' Chuck was surprised. Charlotte sounded like she was about to cry. What's going on? She went out to chase the crying Lara Jane during the day. Did something happen?
Charlotte started crying when Chuck asked her what was wrong. She said that she didn't catch up with Lara during the day. She was very anxious. It turned out that Lara ran out because she felt wronged. She bought a bottle of wine in a restaurant and drank it all. She then went to a bar when she was drunk and had a conflict with someone there.
Now Lara was not allowed to leave. Charlotte was also now at the bar too. Chuck felt helpless. During the day, Lara was slapped for no reason. In fact, Chuck also felt guilty in his heart. But he didn't expect that Lara would go out to get drunk. No wonder she didn't answer his message. She might be too upset.
Hearing Charlotte's anxious voice, Chuck's heart softened. He asked Charlotte about their location. The people holding Lara captive must want money as compensation.
As soon as Charlotte finished her words, Chuck asked her to wait for him, and then he went over immediately.
After hanging up, Chuck took a taxi to the bar that Charlotte had mentioned. This bar was quite famous, and the drinks served were quite expensive. Lara actually came here heavily drunk.
She might have wanted to come here previously but was deterred by the prices. However, in her drunkenness, she had come here boldly.
Chuck went straight in and located the private room that Charlotte had mentioned. At the door, a fierce-looking man was standing guard. Chuck took a peek and saw that Lara and Charlotte were inside.
