Still Wanna Escape After Stealing My Heart? novel Chapter 58

If the camera was not lost, she no longer needed the money she borrowed from Nigel.

"So...I didn't have to pay?" Sabrina asked cheerfully.

"Not even the rental fee," said Master Tong.

"Thank, thank you, thank you so much. I...I would get going then?" Sabrina reconfirmed in relief.

"Yes, of course, Miss Scott."

Sabrina sighed a long breath of relief and walked out o f the Leasing Center feeling like all troubles were behind her.

"Miss Scott, if I could borrow a minute of your time," Marcus called out from behind her. He instantly realized that Sabrina had asked to borrow $2,000 USD from him back at the banquet to compensate for a lost camera, and $2,000 USD could not even compare to what Marcus spent for a single meal.

"What did you need, Mr. Shaw?" Sabrina asked.

"Do you still need the money?" Marcus asked, struggling as to where he should start to explain himself.

"As you could see, I...no longer need it," Sabrina smiled gently.

"I had thought that you were one of those young ladies

that do scams for a living, and so when you called me the day before yesterday, I..."

"It's alright, Mr. Shaw. It...it's not like we knew each other to begin with. I was crossing the line. Anyone would have been alarmed by a stranger who asked to borrow money from them first thing into the conversation. I understand that. I regretted calling you almost immediately after making that phone call, realizing that it would put you in a difficult situation. Meeting people at a banquet could hardly count as actually knowing them, after all. I wasn't aware of the rules. Take care and see you...never again, Mr. Shaw." Sabrina strode off as soon as the last word was spoken.

"Uncanny, the resemblance is just uncanny," Marcus mumbled from behind her.
