Chapter 4 Get in the Car

Rachel explained hurriedly, "Colin, I didn't push Miss Smith. You have to believe me. She fell down by herself!"

The look in Colin's eyes was quite dark. "Why are you here?"

"I... I... "

Rachel stammered for a while and couldn't explain clearly, making her sweat heavily. It happened that Tami pushed the door and walked in at that time, whom Rachel saw as her last straw.

"Yesterday, I heard from Mrs. Murphy that you would come here for dinner tonight. So I am here today. Since you haven't come to visit me for so long, I miss you... "

Tami, who was betrayed on the scene, was somewhat agitated in her heart. However, she, who wasn't stupid, smiled somewhat apologetically at Colin.

"I had no other ways out. After all, you keep ignoring her. She came to me begging for help. Upon seeing how miserable she was, I helped her. You won't take it to your heart, will you?"

Colin didn't reply. He narrowed his eyes, swept at Tami with a glance, shrugged off Rachel's hand, and turned around to leave.

"Colin, where are you going?" Rachel wanted to go after him again.

Tami called out to her, "Miss Sharp, Colin probably doesn't want to see you right now. You'd better go back first."

Rachel stopped and twisted her eyebrows as she looked at Tami, "Is Colin angry?"

Tami smiled lightly, "Don't worry. Leave it to me."

...

Although Lola was wrapped in Colin's jacket, she was still so cold that she shivered.

It happened that this was a remote location. Standing by the roadside for a long time. Lola didn't see a taxi at all, making her plan to go to the intersection ahead to take a taxi. "Swish!" A black Escalade stopped beside her.

The glass was lowered, framing a cold and handsome face in the car window.

"Get in the car!"

"No, I can go back on my own."

Lola squeezed her fingers, feeling inexplicably moody.

"It's not easy to take a taxi here. And it's so cold. You'll catch a cold if you go on acting like this!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a cold breeze blew by, making Lola sneeze in response. She felt so cold that her teeth chattered.

Well, he was right. She would catch a cold based on the current situation. Moreover, all that crap that had just happened because of him. So she wouldn't owe him any favors for letting him send her back.

Colin reached over and pushed the door to the passenger seat open, "Get in!"

After hesitating for a few seconds, Lola finally got into his car.

Colin turned up the heater. As a warm breeze blew, Lola felt somewhat warm. After a while, the chill subsided gradually. Lola took off the jacket and handed it over to Colin.

"Thanks."

Of course, Colin, who was driving, wouldn't take it. So Lola threw it onto the backseat. After that, she looked out of the window with her arms folded and didn't say anything.

It was not until the car stopped at the red traffic light at the intersection that Colin spoke grudgingly.

"I'm sorry. I didn't know this would happen. If Rachel did something impolite to you a moment ago, I'll apologize to you on her behalf."

"No need. It's not a big deal." Lola said indifferently, "However, I hope this kind of thing won't happen again."

"Don't worry." Colin narrowed his eyes, "I promise you that there won't be the next time."

After they arrived at the hotel, Lola said directly, "Thank you". After that, she got out of the car.

Noticing that her footsteps were somewhat unsteady and blood was seeping out from her ankle, Colin got out of the car to support her, only to be refused by Lola.

Colin's hand was frozen in mid-air. It wasn't until a long while later that he withdrew his hand, "Okay. Watch out by yourself."

...

After Lola returned to her room, the first thing she did was to take a shower.

She took a simple and brief shower. After that, she turned on the water, waited till the water took up a great part of the bathtub, and soaked herself in. It wasn't until she had been soaking herself in the bathtub for a long time that she felt that her hands and feet regained consciousness gradually, which were no longer that stiff.

After taking a shower, she walked out and sat on the bed. As she was blowing her hair, she heard the doorbell ring faintly. It wasn't until she turned off the electric wind blower that she heard clearly that someone was ringing the doorbell.

In order to get rid of the cold, she had ordered some wine a moment ago. Thinking that the wine she had ordered was here, she ran over to open the door in a hurry, only to find out the man standing outside the door as Colin.
