Chapter 551 Shirley Has Became Skyler’s Girlfriend
After doing a check-up in the hospital, the medical result showed that Shirley was suffering from a ruptured eardrum by an external force.
“You need to eat the pills for the time being and come back four weeks later for a review. You’ll need surgery if you aren’t recovered by that time.” After picking up the prescription, Skyler reminded Shirley as he stood in front of her.
She nodded and took the medicine from him. “I understand.” “I’ll send you home.” He was feeling guilty to cause her to be in such a condition. “There’s no need for that.”
“Don’t reject me.” Skyler snatched the prescriptions from her as he dragged her toward the exit by grabbing her wrist. Shirley followed behind him without fighting. All she could see was his warm hand around her slender wrist and his dependable silhouette.
The thumping of her heart was deafening. Shirley could feel her heart beating faster and her breath quickening. Her flushing cheeks due to nervousness were sending warmth all over her face, and she even forgot to wriggle out of his grip.
She followed him back to his car. After that, Skyler drove her back to her apartment. Once she arrived at her destination, Shirley thanked him. “Thank you for sending me back. Goodbye.”
As she finished her words, she turned around to open the car, but her attempt failed when she found the door was locked. “Young Master Skyler, the door’s locked,” she reminded as she cast him a shy look.
“Shirley, will you be my girlfriend?” Skyler was facing her with a serious expression. “What?” The unexpected confession left her at a loss and she could hear the buzzing in her head.
“A fake one, I mean. I need your cooperation. Don’t worry, I’ll pay you.” Even after he finished his proposal, Shirley was still lost in her thoughts, as if she hadn’t recovered from the shock.
She needed time to digest the breaking news. Sensing her hesitation, Skyler added, “I’ll pay you one hundred thousand for a month. I’ll end the deal as soon as Sofia leaves.”
“About that…” Shirley hesitated. For her, one hundred thousand was indeed a huge sum. After all, Shirley was a fresh graduate. Such a pay was tempting for a young woman like her, and she saw no point in rejecting the offer.
However, she also thought of the fierce Sofia, who caused Shirley a ruptured eardrum with just one slap. She’s a horrible woman. After thoughtful deliberation, she shook her head. “The reward is tempting indeed, but I’m afraid of her. I think—”
“I’ll add another one hundred thousand to your pay! But it means I need to live in your apartment too.” Noticing her glare and the alarmed look on her face, Skyler explained, “We need to make it look real. It’s dubious if we’re living apart from each other. Don’t worry, I’ll take the couch in your living room.”
Sofia was a clever woman. She had sharp eyes and could notice a plan’s flaws if they were careless. “Did you say two hundred thousand?” What enormous pay!
Biting her lip, Shirley stared at the roof of the car as she made the calculations in her mind. Two hundred thousand for one month means four hundred thousand for two months. Usually, I need to work for at least two to three years for that kind of amount.
“Will you compensate me for her hitting me?” Shirley took a direct approach. Her eyes were twinkling as she smiled, and Skyler thought it was utterly adorable.
“Haha!” Her look made him burst into laughter. “What if she beat you up till death? There’s no use of compensation anymore.”
“We’re living in a society ruled by law. I don’t believe she would do that. She’ll restrain herself when you’re with me.”
“Alright. You’ve got yourself a deal, but we need to sign a contract first. You can’t deny it if it’s in black and white. It just so happens that I have a printer at home.”
“Tsk! Who taught you to be a fan of money?”
“It’s natural to be fond of money. I don’t need to learn from anyone.” Shirley chuckled.
They went back to her apartment together. Shirley drafted a contract and printed it out before she handed it over to Skyler for his signature. Later, he transferred ten hundred thousand into her bank account as a deposit.
She looked for a blanket from the cabinet before she put it on the couch and told him, “You’ll sleep here starting today.”
“No problem.” He nodded.
She cast a glance at the wall clock and noticed it was only 8.00PM, and she wasn’t sleepy yet. On usual days, she would binge watch the latest drama, but with Skyler in her home, she had no idea what she should do.
“You should take a rest. I’ll rest in my bedroom.”
Even though she had known him for a long time, living with him in the same house was a different thing. Shirley was uncomfortable with the changes in her daily life, so she retreated to her bedroom.
When she was lying on the bed, she finally noticed something odd.
The apartment featured only one bedroom and one living room, thus the bathroom was built in the bedroom.
Oh my God! What should I do?
