Chapter 19 Can You Afford It
Chapter 19 Can You Afford It
A few rays of sunshine came in through the gap of the thick curtain.
Cindy woke up.
The sound sleep of the night made her full of spirit. Those annoying things seemed to be far away. She
got up and opened the curtain. The warm light poured in.
The room was really well equipped. And it seemed that the furniture had a good taste.
Although the kitchen was not big, it had everything in it, and there were milk and bread in the fridge.
Now she thought the chairman was a good man. She made up her mind to work hard in the future. It
was the first time for Cindy to meet such a boss who was willing to work for him.
Sitting in front of the window, Cindy was about to enjoy her breakfast.
"Ah!"
With a scream, Cindy jumped up. The clock showed that she was late for work.
Grabbing the milk and bread, Cindy rushed out.
"Bang!"
"Ah!"
As soon as she ran to the outpatient building, Cindy bumped into a person. The two people screamed
at the same time.
"What are you hurrying for?" Shelly shouted.
There was a footprint on her high-heeled shoes, and her hair was messy. The most important thing was
that her sapphire blue low cut dress was splashed with milk, which made Shelly very angry.
What a bad luck.
Yesterday, she heard from her uncle that the son of the chairman would come to the hospital for an
inspection today and asked him to dress up. It would be the best if she could attract his attention.
Because according to reliable information, the heir in charge of a large family business seemed not to
have any interest in women, and so far he did not even have a nominal fiancee.
Shelly had spent a lot of money on the dress, which cost her several months' salary.
"Sorry, I'm sorry."
Cindy apologized and took out a tissue to wipe the milk stains off Shelly's clothes.
Raising his head, Shelly Zhang was even more furious. "Cindy, why are you everywhere? Look at this
dress."
While cursing, she shook off Cindy's hand.
"Crack!" the milk and bread in Cindy's hands flew out.
At this time, it was the peak time of the outpatient department. Milk and bread hit many people.
Suddenly, there was a series of exclamations in the outpatient hall.
"Sorry, sorry..." Seeing that she had made a mistake, Cindy bowed and apologized again and again.
Shelly lowered her head and looked at the white stains on her clothes. Her heart was burning. She
rushed over and slapped Cindy. "Cindy, it's you again. Do you know how much I bought this dress?
Compensate me."
"Shelly, I..."
Covering her hot face, Cindy looked at the crowd and didn't know what to say.
"How much is it? I'll pay for it."
A man said coldly.
"Can you afford it?" Shelly shouted without turning his head.
"Well, tell me." His cold voice sounded quite casual.
At this moment, every pore of Shelly seemed to be burning. She suddenly turned her head and wanted
to see who was uninteresting and came here to meddle in other people's business.
A man stood at the door.
With his back to the light, Shelly couldn't see the man's face clearly, but he saw more than ten tall men
in black standing behind him, all wearing sunglasses.
He was a big shot.
The man seemed to be dressed in a high-end customized black suit. He walked slowly to Cindy and
wiped the bread crumbs from her mouth carefully.
"Look at you. Your mouth would always be covered with bread crumbs, just like before." His tone was
gentle and full of affection.
Hearing the familiar voice, Cindy couldn't help looking up and was stunned.
Ethan Huo.
He stared at herself with a faint smile in his eyes.
He turned around and cast a cold glance at Shelly. Instantly, a chill rose from the soles of Shelly's feet. This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
He had dashing eyebrows and starry eyes, a straight nose, and his features were as hard as knife
carvings. His deep and sharp eyes were radiating a terrifying light. His thin lips were tightly pursed,
making him even more unapproachable and indifferent.
He was dressed in a high-end customized black suit, which wrapped his tall figure, but couldn't hide the
strong hormones.
There was such a handsome man in the world.
Shelly's eyes widened in an instant, and the anger just disappeared.
"Miss, how much is your dress? Let's see if I can afford it." The man sneered.
Oh my God! Her voice was so pleasant to hear.
Like an anthomaniac, Shelly stood there in a daze.
President Qin came down the stairs and took a few steps forward. His fat body quickly came to him,
and his face was full of flattery. Behind him were several senior leaders of the hospital.
"Oh, Mr. Ethan, what brings you here today? Why didn't you tell me in advance?" Beads of sweat
began to form on his forehead as he spoke.
Obviously, President Qin got the news just now and ran down the stairs in a hurry without waiting for
the elevator.
Mr. Ethan?
Ethan Huo?!
Cindy felt so surprised as if a bomb had been thrown away.
Not only Cindy, but also Shelly was frightened by what President Qin said. Her eyes almost fell to the
ground, and her scarlet mouth opened wide. He stuttered, "Mr., Mr. Ethan..."
Glancing at Cindy, Ethan walked straight to President Qin and said calmly, "nice to meet you, President
Qin. I'm here to talk to you about the matter of Steven."
"Mr. Ethan, if you are coming, please inform us and we can go to welcome you." President Qin nodded
and bowed with a big smile on his face.
The other senior executives of the hospital followed President Qin's words and tried their best to curry
favor with Ethan. "Yes, President Qin is right. Mr. Ethan is here to inspect the work. You should have
informed us."
"Mr. Ethan, please."
President Qin bowed and made way for him.
Without any hesitation, Ethan winked at Leon and strode over.
While walking, Ethan stared at Cindy. A caring flashed through his eyes. Cindy didn't notice the
affection in his eyes. His face was as cold as ice.
Leon handed the check to Shelly. "Miss, this is the money we paid for your clothes."
It was one hundred thousand.
The number on it surprised her.
No wonder he was the young master of No.2 People's Hospital of J City However, Shelly didn't dare to
accept the money. "No, No. I was just kidding with Mr. Ethan."
Shelly waved her hand, her face full of embarrassment.
When Leon was taking the check back, a key to the door was handed to him.
"Please return this key to Mr. Ethan. I don't need it." Although her voice was low, her words were firm.
Mr. Ethan?
Cindy finally figured out why Ethan had the key to those popular single apartments from President
Qin's words. It was a piece of cake for Mr. Ethan to do.
"Well ?"
Leon didn't dare to take it over. He knew what was on Mr. Ethan's mind best.
Cindy put the key in Leon's hand, turned around and left. She straightened her back, raised her head
and held back the tears in her eyes.
The Cheng family had been forced into such a situation by the Huo family. She didn't want to be
connected with Ethan anymore.
