Chapter 14 A Gentleman Who Is Nice to Me

With her dark thoughts, Marylin Ye kept on striding forward, then accidentally bumped into a woman who was walking towards her side.

The drawings in her hand fell and scattered to the ground in an instant. Marylin was startled for fear that the leader would scold her for making the drawings dirty. Immediately, she squatted down to pick up the drawings, but she sprained her ankle because she squatted too fast and too violently. Suddenly, she felt so much pain that she was on the edge of tearing up!

She picked up the drawings that dropped to the ground one by one without considering the sharp pain in her ankle.

When she finally stood up, Marylin realized that her ankle had been swollen. But she still limped to the bus stop with the drawings on her hands.

She had to deliver those drawings to the construction site on time. If she didn’t do that on time, the leader would definitely scold her for being unable to do anything properly. At that moment, she would really feel that she was useless.

Marylin stood at the bus stop waiting, a few minutes later, a black Mercedes stopped in front of her instead of the bus she was waiting for.

Marylin recognized the driver, but she had never seen this black Mercedes-Benz. Maybe it was one of his new cars, after all Jamie Shen had numerous luxury cars. Therefore, she didn’t feel amazed.

Stopping next to Marylin, the driver slowly lowered the window and said, "Miss Ye, I am on the way to help Mr. Shen with his errands and I can give you a ride."

Marylin thought she would bother him if she took a ride and then she quickly refused: "Thank you. I will take the bus and it is coming soon."

But Mr. Driver insisted, even though Marylin refused several times but failed to let the driver leave. Finally, Marylin got on the black Mercedes with the drawings because she worried that the car would cause traffic congestion.

The driver dressed in a black suit didn’t say a word all the way. He seemed to have a respectful attitude. When Marylin talked to him, he always replied simply as if he couldn't talk while driving. Noticing this, she no longer disturbed the driver again.

When they arrived at the construction site, Marylin thanked the driver. The driver said that he would wait outside for her until she finished working and then send her back to the company. The driver found that Marylin was puzzled and added that these were the company’s regulations, which was his duty to pick up and drop off employees going to work.

Marylin wondered with a little confusion when the company had such regulations, although the company could provide cars for employees who needed to go out for work, but certainly not a Mercedes-Benz.

Marylin was full of doubts. After sending the drawings to the construction site, she walked outside and found the driver was waiting patiently.

Marylin felt so sorry at once. As she got into the car, she asked the driver tentatively: "Now the company stipulates that Mr. Shen's private car can be used to pick up and drop off employees?"

The driver heard what she said with a smile but he did not respond.

Upon seeing this, Marylin was lost in doubts.

After returning from the construction site, she had done a few finishing works and soon got off duty. As she returned home, she randomly cooked some food for herself and silently gazed at her cell phone, waiting for someone’s call. God only knew who she was expecting.

After waiting for a long time, the phone rang.

Marylin picked up the phone without looking at the caller ID. She greeted hilariously "Hello".

Suddenly, a male voice came over the phone.

It turned out to be Cheng Lu, then she glanced back at the number, yes, it was Cheng, her old classmate and the one Jamie had a serious problem with.

Cheng greeted Marylin on the phone: "Marylin, how are you doing?"

Marylin replied politely: "Hi Cheng, I'm okay. How are you?" It suddenly occurred to her that she still owed him money, she quickly apologized, "Cheng, I’m so sorry about the money you lent me. I will pay you back now."

Obviously, Cheng didn't call about the money he lent to her, "Pay me back whenever you can. There’s no hurry."

Marylin suddenly felt a little guilty. She didn’t dare to tell Cheng that she didn’t get her salary, but she remembered Jamie gave her a sum of money last time.

"Would you mind telling me how much you earn in a month?" Cheng said cheerfully, "Girls spend a lot because they have to buy cosmetics and clothes. There is no need to worry about the money. If you insist, you can pay me back when you have extra money."

"It’s so nice of you." Marylin insisted, "Thank you for your kindness. But I'll pay you back now through WeChat, okay?"

Cheng mumbled: "Sorry, my WeChat is not linked to a bank card. It's useless if you pay me back because I can’t withdraw it."

Marylin doubted, "Really?"

"That's right," Cheng said with a smile, "If you really want to pay back the money, you can give it to me when we meet next time, okay?"

Cheng’s voice on the phone was very soft and gentle, with kindness, but she did owe Cheng a certain amount of money. Anyway, she needed to pay back soon. After thinking about it, she agreed and mentioned that she would make an appointment with him and pay back the money borrowed from him when she was free.

After hanging up the phone, Marylin took a deep breath.

And then she took out the phone to delete call logs because she was afraid that Jamie would notice it. If he looked at Cheng’s name on her call records, he would freak out again.

Having seen Jamie's jealous look once, she didn't want to see it again because Jamie was ruthless and treated her badly when he got mad.

As the whole night passed, Marylin still did not receive Jamie’s call.

She didn't know whether she should be happy or sad. If Jamie didn't come to make trouble for her, she should be glad at ease, but to her astonishment, he didn't call, not even a message. At that moment, she felt lost like exactly what Jamie felt the other night when she didn’t call him. This night was sleepless for her.

As times went by, one day, two days, three days, one week... half a month, Marylin didn’t get any call from Jamie.

One day, Marylin looked through the calendar and suddenly realized that Jamie had not contacted her for half a month!

In the past half month, Marylin had seen Jamie in the company for only a few times.

All employees of the company were gossiping about Jamie and Xinyao. They said Jamie had been vigorously pursuing Miss Jiang and he would marry her at the end of this year. By then, Mr. Shen’s social values and business worth would increase by 20 times.
