Chapter 285
She was carrying him on her back with difficulty as she kept
saying, “Don’t be afraid. I’ll carry you down the hill. I’ll take you to the policeman.”
Don’t be afraid…
However, her body was shaking so much that even when she spoke, her voice trembled.
It was she who was afraid, but she kept on comforting him.
“You’re so heavy…” She could not help but complain occasionally.
“I’m sorry.” Back then, he apologized for this.
“Hehe. When you get better later, you can carry me so that we’re even,” she said with a smile, trying to move on.
He never thought that one day he would be protected by a girl
younger than him.
“I’ll carry you in the future,” he said to her as if it was a promise.
He said to himself in his heart that in the future, he would carry
her. No matter what difficulty there was, he would carry her all the
way.
Where on earth was she?
For many years, he was always regretful of why he had let go of
her hand.
If he had held on to her hand back then, would she always be by
his side now?
However, Grace was not the one he was looking for, so… “Where are you?” he asked in a low voice.
What responded to him was the silence in the air as usual.
Grace found the time to go to the Sanitation Service Center and resign. When the director of the Sanitation Service Center learned that she was quitting, he was surprised.
“You’re quitting? What’s wrong? Are you dissatisfied with your salary at the center? If you feel it’s too tiring to sweep the floor, I can change your position and transfer you to an office position,” the director said.
Earlier, he had received a call from the management department to apply for leave for Grace.
At that moment, he had been in a daze for a while.
Before that, there were people in the center who were against
working with Grace and tried to kick her out of the Sanitation
Service Center. However, the director then received a call from his
superior, asking him to deal with this matter properly and not to encourage such discrimination.
For a moment there, he thought it might be the Stevens family’s first young master’s doings. After all, Grace was Young Master Stevens ‘s ex-girlfriend. He probably still had some feelings left for
her.
When he raised his doubts about it, he got a meaningful reply. “The person behind her is someone even Sean Stevens can’t
afford to offend.”
Suddenly, he felt a shudder running through his spine and
trembled all over.
Originally, the director wanted to satisfy all of Grace’s wants and needs, but to his surprise, she offered to resign.
“I’ll pa**.” Grace shook her head. When had she ever seen the director try so hard to keep a sweeper? It was clear that the director knew something.
