Chapter 221 An Encounter
"No, no. Thank you. I can take a taxi."
"It's rush hour now. It's not easy to call a taxi. Where did you get hurt? Let me see."
Magee squatted down and wanted to help Rita take off her high heels.
"No, thank you. I can go by myself."
Seeing her being so stubborn, he stopped forcing her.
"I just want to help you out of kindness. I don't mean anything else. Riri, don't think too much."
Rita smiled awkwardly. "How would I think too much? Thank you for what you did before."
Speaking of the past, he couldn't help smiling bitterly.
"It was all my sister's fault. I apologize to you on her behalf. Riri, as you have forgiven her this time, I will make up for you with the rest of my life for her."
After hearing this, Rita smiled and felt a slight sting in her heart. She opened her mouth and said, "Magee, there is always something that cannot be made up for. Everything is forgivable, but my baby was a living life. He just left the world. Do you think you can make up for him?"
"I'm sorry, Riri. If I had found it earlier..." Magee clenched his fists.
"Well, I don't want to listen to you to say this anymore. I'm leaving now. Excuse me, please."
Rita walked a few steps and almost fell down again. 'Blamed!' She didn't want to wear high heels anymore!
"Let me give you a drive. How can I rest assured if you walk by yourself like this?"
"I really don't need it."
Rita still refuse his help. Magee had no choice but to hail a taxi for Rita.
"Thank you."
Rita said politely and then got on the taxi.
Looking at the back of Rita, Magee wondered since when he had been alienated from her.
When she arrived at the restaurant, Aaron had already been waiting anxiously at the door. NôvelDrama.Org © content.
"What's wrong, honey?"
When he saw Rita limping out of the taxi, he immediately ran to her and carried her up.
"Nothing serious. I just sprained my ankle on the way here."
"Oh, you've been so careless. Maybe you'd better not wear high heels in the future."
He took off her high heels and threw them aside. Then he drove her to the hospital.
"It's not a big deal. We don't need to go to the hospital."
"No way. We'd better go to the hospital and get some medicine. I'm clumsy. I will hurt you if I apply medicine by myself."
A soft light flashed through Rita's eyes. She reached out and pinched his face.
"It's just a minor wound. Don't make a fuss."
"This is not a minor injury. Don't get yourself hurt again. I don't want to see you get wounded."
Rita nodded and kissed him on the cheek.
When they arrived at the hospital, Aaron ran downstairs with Rita in his arms. The nurses beside couldn't help but envy Rita.
"He is so handsome and considerate. His wife is so lucky."
"Yes, she just sprained her ankle. It's nothing big deal. I just heard that the man asked his wife not to wear high heels anymore."
"What a domineering boss. I like this style so much!"
Rita's mouth twitched when she heard a group of nurses talking about Aaron. She just sprained her ankle, and her husband did not allow her to wear high heels anymore. He was such a domineering man.
"Well, let's go inside and apply medicine."
With the receipt in her hand, Aaron held her in his arms, and the two of them went in and applied medicine.
"Doctor, do you need to give us a prescription?"
The doctor shook his head with a smile and teased, "Mister, you're too careful with your wife. This doesn't need to prescribe any medicine. You just need to apply some red ointment and have a rest. That's enough."
Rita couldn't help but poke him in the chest. "I've told you that I'm fine, but you still insist on coming to the hospital."
He carried her all the way back and forth, and there were so many people watching them. What a embarrassed scene!
On the second day of work, Rita changed into flat shoes, and her white dress looked particularly eye- catching.
"Good morning, Ms. Rita."
"Morning, Ms. Rita."
Along the way, people in the company greeted her one after another.
"Morning."
Rita walked into the office with her bag and found that Jessica was sitting on the sofa and playing with her mobile phone.
"Ms. Jessica, why are you waiting for me here in the early morning?"
Rita smiled politely and made two cups of coffee.
Jessica put down her phone and said, "I'm here waiting for Ms. Rita this morning for I have something to discuss with you."
Rita lowered her eyes. Without thinking, she knew that Jessica must come to her for the matter of the seven companies. However, this matter was almost certain and could not be changed.
"Ms. Jessica, if you have any questions, just say it out."
Rita handed the coffee to her, looking good tempered.
"Here is the thing, Ms. Rita. It's about the seven companies. I want to... I want to talk to you about that. I think you should also know that these seven companies have gone through a lot of difficulties, especially the Hong Feng company. It used to be the Jiang family..."
She stopped before she could finish her words. Jessica gritted her teeth and blamed herself why she blurted that out. Everyone knew that Rita had a personal grudge with the Jiang family. Once she knew, she would definitely not agree the acquisition.
Seeing that she wanted to say something but stopped on a second thought, Rita smiled and said, "In fact, I have already known this problem, but there is another reason why I didn't agree to the acquisition. Ms. Jessica, don't think too much. We are only talking about work here, not anything else."
Jessica forced a smile and said, "I know what you mean, Ms. Rita. Sorry to bother you."
At things came to this point, she couldn't say anything more. But to her, this Rita was really hard to deal with, Jessica thought. She didn't say anything and strode out, clenching her fists.
