Chapter 712 He’s Sofia’s Brother
It had been some time since they last met, so Skyler was surprised to meet Shirley on this day, and little did he think that she was so down and out she was now an attendant at Philwind, much less that she was trying to hook up with Garrick!
Is she still the Shirley Wilson I know?! Gianna, on the other hand, looked grim from being inexplicably yelled at, and she sat next to Skyler after taking a gander at Shirley, saying nothing more.
Meanwhile, Shirley caught the other women’s disdainful look at her, and she left the private room, ultimately unable to take it anymore.
That said, she didn’t leave for good, just standing at the entrance, waiting for the people in Rose Lounge to leave.
At last, the people inside finally came out after two hours, and Shirley, who had been standing by Garrick’s car, immediately came forward when she saw him approaching her direction.
“You have alcohol in your system, President Brennan. Would you like me to be your chauffeur?” She mustered up her courage and volunteered as she looked at a drunk Garrick. “I’m a pretty decent driver if I do say so myself.”
She noticed from their game of poker that while the other men were fondling the women in their arms, Garrick was the only man who had never touched a woman the entire time.
Thus, she trusted that he was a true gentleman.
Meanwhile, Garrick rubbed his temples and moved away from the blondie who was keeping him steady. “You go back ahead. She’ll drive me.” At that, he chucked his car key to Shirley.
Elated, she instantly opened the back door, helped Garrick into the vehicle, got into the driver’s seat, and drove away, ignoring the blondie’s jealous gaze the entire time.
“Goldgulf Court,” Garrick muttered before going to sleep.
Shirley said nothing either the entire drive, keeping her eyes focused on the road while following the directions on the GPS.
A little over forty minutes later, they arrived at Goldgulf Court, a lavish mansion, and as Shirley pulled over, the butler came out from the house.
It wasn’t after she opened the back door that she realized Garrick was asleep, and she dared not wake him up.
“Thank you for sending Mr. Garrick back,” the butler in his fifties thanked Shirley courteously while closing the back door, then asked her to leave. “It’s really late now. You should go home.”
At that, Shirley pursed her lips and said, “Oh, alright. I’ll be going then.”
The next second, the butler entered the driver’s seat and drove the car into the mansion as the fancy gate closed automatically behind.
Shirley, on the other hand, turned around, and her heart sank while looking at the darkness up ahead. How am I supposed to go home when it’s already so late, and there isn’t a car in sight?
Inside the mansion, Garrick opened his eyes after the car stopped. “She’s gone?”
“Yes, sir,” the butler answered.
To that, Garrick rubbed his temples, exited the car, and removed his suit jacket while heading into the living room, where Sofia happened to be watching a soap opera.
“You said Skyler likes a girl by the name Shirley Wilson?” he asked soberly as he sat in the armchair across from Sofia after chucking his jacket on the backrest.
Sofia nodded with a perfunctory hum of affirmation as she patted the sheet mask on her face.
“She’s also the reason he didn’t want to marry you after you came back?”
“Why else do you think?! Huh, if it wasn’t that he kept her close, I’d have mangled that b*tch!”
Sofia had never feared anything in life, so it was even less likely she would fear Shirley. It was merely because Skyler had warned her in private that she dared not cross Skyler.
“Are you sure she’s the one who affected your engagement?” Garrick had doubts.
“Of course!” Sofia got inexplicably exasperated mentioning Shirley, and she ripped her sheet mask off, huffing, “Skyler had even moved in with that b*tch! It’s her fake angelic personality that lured Skyler away from me!”
Garrick wasn’t an idiot. Skyler showed up with a woman named Gianna…
