"That's not necessarily true!" Eve raised her eyebrows at Ranita, drawing out her tone as she hummed, "Our Ranita is beautiful and talented, excellent in every way. Maybe the senior has already noticed you!"
"Looks like you're acting again. Keep making things up!" Ranita laughed.
She had spent an afternoon with Eve at the hospital and when she saw that it was almost time to leave, she picked up her bag and headed for the door.
But just as she walked to the elevator, she saw someone she didn't want to see.
Shannon sat on a wheelchair with a look of grievance on her face. "Ranita! What a coincidence!"
"I'm sorry if I disturbed you today." Pausing for a moment, Shannon asked again worriedly, "I accidentally fainted. Did I break anything in your house? If something is damaged, I'll pay for it."
Ranita replied indifferently, "No need."
After speaking, Ranita walked directly into the elevator without looking back. "Miss Murphy, you can take the next one if you don't hurry up," she said coldly.
"Wait a moment!" Shannon anxiously reached out, "Brendon is coming soon. Let's wait!"
Ranita had no desire to see them in a lovey-dovey situation, so she pressed the close door button. "Sorry, I'm in a hurry! Miss Murphy, take the next elevator."
"Ranita!" Shannon insisted on blocking the door and even ignored the safety concerns, reaching out her hand.
"Shannon! What are you doing? It's dangerous!" Just then, Brendon arrived in time and pulled Shannon's hand back.
The elevator doors, responding to the automatic sensor, reopened.
Ranita met Brendon's eyes, and he seemed surprised. "What are you doing here?"
"Visiting a friend!"
While talking, Brendon pushed Shannon into the elevator. The space inside became a bit crowded. Brendon stood next to Ranita, and his hand lightly touched hers.
