Chapter 13 Be Obedient
"You're thinking too much!"
Gwenyth grabbed Nancy's wrist in anger, trying to pull her hand away from her hair. But Nancy refused to let go. Once Gwenyth put forth more strength, she would feel a sharp pain in her scalp.
"Miss Shandy, can you let go while I'm willing to politely talk to you?"
"I don't want to talk to you! I came here to teach you a lesson!"
Nancy violently pushed her head into the sink and then turned on the faucet.
When Gwenyth struggled to get up, Nancy held her head with all her might and even pressed her upper body on her back, making her unable to move.
Her hair was quickly wet, and more and more water accumulated in the sink. When it almost reached her mouth and nose, she took a deep breath and held her breath. Knowing she couldn't hold on for long, she moved her hands away from the sink and stretched them backward. When she touched Nancy's waist, she pinched it hard.
"Ah!" Nancy screamed in pain and moved aside to dodge it.
Gwenyth instantly straightened up, wiped the water off her face, and ran to the door while panting heavily.
When she opened the door, Nancy was still yelling, "You can't get away with it."
Gwenyth had often been beaten by debt collectors for the past four years. The scar on her calf had been cut by them with broken glass, and she had bled a lot then. So, she was sturdy and could stand punches.
But when she thought of Nancy's insulting words, her eyes turned red, and tears welled up.
She sniffed hard to keep her tears from falling and quickly fixed her clothes and messy wet hair. Then, she returned to the private room and sat down in her seat.
Seeing her embarrassed look, Edison guessed what had happened. Her hair was dripping, and the collar of her dress was a little wet. Noticing the director and producer leering at her, he stood up, grabbed her wrist, and pulled her out in big strides.
As soon as they walked out of the private room, they bumped into Nancy.
"Eddie!"
"You crossed the line!" Edison said with a sullen face while walking past her with Gwenyth.
Seeing him tightly gripping Gwenyth's wrist, Nancy felt furious. Why was he caring about a woman he had money to hire? She had not crossed the line but just taught her a lesson! She was so angry that she chased after them.
Edison walked quickly. After pulling Gwenyth out of the restaurant, he directly pushed her into the car.
When Nancy caught up with them, she saw him wiping the water off Gwenyth's face with a tissue in the car. The window was down, so she saw him staring at her with a frown without noticing her presence at all. And she could see he was not pretending to care about Gwenyth.
Nancy froze in a daze, thinking they might have had sex last night. She had known Edison for three years and dated him for half a year, but he had never slept with her. Had he slept with Gwenyth? Did he really like her? Or had he hired Gwenyth to piss her off?
Last night, Edison's hands had reached into Gwenyth's shirt in the private room at the Night Charm Club. But he had never done such things to her.
"Nancy, widen your eyes. She has a better figure than you. I will have nothing to lose if I marry her."
Edison's angry words were ringing in her ears.
Gwenyth was just a lowly room attendant. So, he would never fall in love with her. Moreover, the Yates family would never allow him to marry an ordinary person with no distinguished family background.
Was it because he liked Gwenyth's body? After all, she had big breasts and a beautiful buttock. But Nancy did not think her figure was inferior to Gwenyth's.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. So, she walked to Edison's car and said, "Eddie, you are..."
But he rolled up the window before she could finish her words.
Then, he started the car and quickly drove it away under her gaze.
In the rearview mirror, Gwenyth saw Nancy blankly standing on the side of the road as if her soul had been taken away. Then, she withdrew her gaze and turned to look at Edison who was focused on driving.
"You knew Miss Shandy was coming tonight, right?"
Edison ignored her words and stepped on the accelerator.
