Find Me In Your Labyrinth novel Chapter 239

After putting the bandage back on, Emily said, "All done!"

Sitting on the bed, Charlie saw that she was about to leave and asked, "Where're you headed?"

Emily replied, "Our teacher assigned some coursework, so I gotta hit the books and do some research."

"Bring it over here and do it!" Charlie pointed to the side table. "Otherwise, I'll have to call you if I need anything!"

Emily nodded, "Alright then, as long as you're cool with me not disturbing your rest. I'll go get my books."

She went back to her room and moved her books and notes into Charlie's room, sitting on the carpet. She then said, "Give me a shout if you need water or get hungry!"

"Sure, just do your thing!" Charlie, who had been bored the past few days, had downloaded an online game and was thoroughly addicted.

One of them sat on the floor with a book while the other leaned against the bed playing games, making for a peaceful and harmonious atmosphere.

About half an hour later, Emily's phone rang. She instinctively glanced at Charlie but saw that he was not disturbed, so she quickly picked up the call.

"Hello?"

Ben was the one calling her. "Whatcha doin'? There's a new animated movie out today. Wanna go see it together?"

Emily lowered her eyes and politely refused, "Apologies, I'm at work, can't make it."

"How about tonight?"

"I have to work overtime tonight."

"Alright then." Ben replied, somewhat disappointed. "We'll plan something when you're off."

"Okay, bye."

Charlie finished a round of his game, looked over and asked, "Was that the guy who had dinner with you and Estelle the other day?"

"Yeah." Emily replied, then curiously asked, "How did you know?"

Charlie grinned, "Me and Jonathan were at the West Shore that day too, saw you guys!"
