What does everyone want for lunch? Sofia charged the topic and waved to the waiter. After the waiter brought the menu, Sofia considerately handed it to Shirley
She subconsciously wanted to give it to Skyler at first, but she handed it to Shirley instead when an idea came to her. “Shirley, take a look and see what you want to eat.” Tm fine with anything.” Shirley said.
“Alright then…” Sofia didn’t say much and ordered some Western food. The atmosphere was quite harmonious when the four of them sat together, eating and chatting.
While the three of them felt relaxed, Shirley was uneasy, like she was on a battlefield. Although nothing was wrong, she always felt like she was in a war zone. For her, having this meal felt as if there was a fishbone stuck in her throat.
It wasn’t until the end of lunch that Shirley finally breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at Garrick. “President Brennan, Miss Green, I’m afraid I can’t keep you company anymore. I have to go to the hospital.”
She had ordered a meal on her phone and would pick it up later to bring to Wade’s mother at the hospital. Skyler’s handsome face turned frigid at those words, and his expression became somewhat twisted.
“Oh, go ahead. Gary and I have something to do, so we should leave too,” Sofia replied. “Are you going to Big Heart Hospital?”
Skyler deliberately asked.
Shirley nodded. “Yes.” “Since you’re going there, give me a ride. I have something to discuss with the hospital director,” Skyler instructed.
“Skye, since Shirley has something to do at the hospital, I’ll give you a ride instead.” Sofia didn’t want to give them a chance to be alone together.
When they came over earlier, it was Sofia who drove Skyler, so it was understandable that he wanted to hitch a ride. However, he must not hitch a ride with Shirley.
“You and Garrick have something to do, no? You go ahead and do your thing. I’ll contact you after I’m done,” Skyler coldly replied. With just this sentence, he directly shut Sofia up.
Sofia clenched her fists on her lap, feeling dissatisfied but not daring to show it too obviously. She could only force a smile. “Shirley, it would be troublesome for you. Skye always likes to trouble people. Please don’t mind him.”
“Well…” Shirley wanted to refuse. “I still have to pick up my meal. How about you let-” “It won’t be a problem.” Skyler seemed to know what Shirley was going to say. He swiftly stopped her with a single sentence.
Shirley pursed her lips and didn’t say anything. On the other hand, Sofia breathed a sigh of relief when she noticed Shirley’s resistance toward Skyler.
The four of them then got up and left after Garrick paid the bill. After bidding farewell to them, Garrick and Sofia left together.
As Shirley watched their car drive away, the smile on her face disappeared instantly. She turned around, her cold gaze meeting Skyler’s. “Ah, I suddenly remembered I have something to do at the company. Young Master Skyler, if you want to go to the hospital, please take at cab. I’m sorry.”
Thinking about Skyler’s getting back together with his ex-girlfriend and what happened yesterday, Shirley couldn’t help but feel disgusted by him.
After speaking, Shirley didn’t give Skyler a chance to speak and turned around to walk toward her own car. Just as she was about to start the engine and leave, the passenger door opened, and Skyler got in.
“I’m not in a hurry.” The man casually replied to her as he fastened his seatbelt. It was as if he hadn’t understood Shirley’s rejection just now.
Stunned, Shirley looked into his eyes with a complicated expression on her face. She frowned and lightly pursed her red lips. After hesitating for a long time, she finally turned off the car engine..
“Young Master Skyler, since you have already reconciled with your… ex-girlfriend, we shouldn’t contact each other anymore.”
She thought that men and women should keep an appropriate distance between each other.
