The next morning, Elizabeth got up before eight o'clock.
She had been crying for a long time, and her eyes were a little swollen. She put a cold towel over her eyes and it took her a while to feel better.
It had to be said that Isaac was really a good doctor. The swelling on her lips had almost gone down. From a distance, it was hardly to be seen.
She asked the nurse for paper and pen and left a simple note. Then she left the hospital.
After what happened last night, she didn't know how to face James. Although she pretended to fall asleep at that time, she couldn't just ignore what had happened. Besides, she was afraid that she would be sad when she saw him.
She went back to South Lake to change into a set of long sleeves and trousers. Since she didn't know how to do makeup, she went to Evelyn to get herself a light makeup to cover the wounds on her face. After that, she went to Kuture.
When she got to the outside of Kuture, she stopped in front of a car on the side of the road. She looked around and found no one nearby. Then she bent down slightly and checked her face carefully against the glass of the car window.
Although she had already put on makeup, it was better to check it again. She didn't want her colleagues to look at her in a strange way. At that moment, the window on the side where she was standing suddenly lowered. Then, a handsome young man's face appeared in her sight.
Elizabeth widened her eyes in shock and stared blankly at the man in front of her. For a moment, she didn't know what to do.
The man smiled at her. He winked at her and asked, "What are you looking at?"
"..." Elizabeth came to herself and thought of the car thieves reported in the news. She immediately shook her head and waved her hand, "Well... I just... I just wanted to use your car window for a minute... I didn't have any bad ideas. Besides, the film on your window is so dark. I can't see anything inside at all..."
Elizabeth closed her eyes gloomily. What she said would make people mistake her for a thief who specialized in stealing things from other people's cars, wouldn't it?
"Well—" The man drew out his voice, and then asked her, "What if you could see what's inside?"
"I'm really not..." Elizabeth sighed, then pointed to the office building behind her. "Can you see that? I'm working here. So, I'm not a thief. Thank you!"
"I didn't say you were a thief. Why have you been emphasizing this? Are you really a thief?" The man looked around the inside of the car with his eyebrows raised. Then he looked at Elizabeth and said directly, "I'm the only one in the car. Do you want to steal me?"
Who the hell wanted to steal you!
Elizabeth was a little angry. She straightened up and said angrily, "I've already explained this to you! Besides, I'm sorry for using your car window! Thank you!"
Elizabeth was not very happy today. She didn't want to talk to him after saying that. She gave him a hard stare and then turned around to enter the office building.
The man looked at the back of Elizabeth who ran away angrily in amusement. He couldn't help but shake his head and laugh as he remembered how she had just wrinkled her nose at the car window. Well, she was so cute.
***
As soon as Elizabeth entered the door, she felt that the atmosphere today was different from the past. Almost everyone was faintly excited and expectant. Some people even took out their mirrors or phone cameras from time to time to see if there was anything wrong with themselves.
"Sasha, what's wrong with everyone?" She grabbed Sasha who had just finished making coffee and asked.
"Well! Leo is coming to our studio today to order a suit! It's Leo!" Sasha said, and her eyes glowed with excitement.
"Leo?"
"Yes!"
