Chapter 24: Let’s Go to My Apartment
"It's Mr. Wilson!" The three women turned and saw Wilson, who suddenly appeared at the entrance to the bathroom. They were so scared that their voices trembled and they exchanged nervous glances. "What is the meaning of this?" Wilson's voice was even colder than before. No wonder Alina was still in the bathroom after waiting for more than ten minutes. Turned out that she was being held up here by some bullies.
"No, nothing. We just happened to go to the bathroom!" 'Miss Marie' smiled awkwardly, "Well, Mr. Wilson, we are done here. Bye!"
The three women tried to make their escape.
Wilson stopped them sternly. "Did I say you could leave?"
The three women didn't dare to move. They turned their heads towards Wilson and simpered nervously, "Mr. Wilson, is there anything else?"
Wilson's cold gaze swept over the faces of the three women. They were so afraid their knees turned to jelly.
Wilson pulled Alina to his side. "See here, Alina is not someone whom people like you can bully. Next time you see her, you better take a detour!" After that, he took Alina's hand and strode away.
In the car, Alina thanked Wilson, "Scumbag, thank you so much!" She was so grateful he turned up to save her. Otherwise, she really did not know what would happen to her.
Wilson looked at her with an annoyed expression. "Are you always bullied like this?"
Alina did not know what to say and bit her lower lip.
Wilson said again, "Do you not know how to resist everytime you are bullied?"
"I..." Alina wanted to explain, but she didn't know what to reply. She didn't ask to be bullied too. She didn't know this strange 'Miss Marie' who appeared out of nowhere.
"And then? Hide alone and cry secretly somewhere?" Wilson sounded upset.
Alina was still biting on her lip until it turned white from the pressure. She opened her mouth to explain and the colour returned to her lips. "No! I'm not always being bullied. Even if I did, I won't cry. Since young, my father told me that girls shouldn't cry easily. He said, 'People who care about you will be sad when they see you cry, you shouldn't make them worry about you. On the other hand, people who don't care about you will be indifferent when they see you cry, your tears are worthless to them. Moreover, crying won't solve anything."
"So, you don't cry even if you are bullied?" Wilson looked at Alina in surprise.
Alina smiled brightly. "Yes, I rarely cry. Besides, as I said, I'm not always being bullied."
Wilson said no more and ordered Simon, "Start the car. Back to the apartment!"
Simon started the engine and drove.
Alina said hurriedly, "Well, can you drop me off at Lanthem Hospital first?"
Wilson frowned slightly. "Are you sure you want to go to the hospital in this state?"
Alina looked up and down at herself. Her dress was wrinkled, the embroidered diamonds were falling out, and the hem of the dress was torn. Her hair was in a mess as well.
During the commotion, Alina did not notice her untidy appearance. Now that she was aware, she couldn't help but feel embarrassed. She bit her lower lip again as she thought hard about where to go after this. Wilson reassured her, "Let's go to my apartment first. There is no one there except me."
Alina did not speak, which meant that she agreed. In her condition, it was indeed inappropriate to go to the hospital, and she could not go home either. If her mother saw her like this, Alina did not know what she would say. It was too late to crash at Rosie's either.
The car soon arrived at the entrance of Wilson's apartment. Wilson instructed Simon, "Prepare a full set of women's clothing in her size and send them here later!"
"Okay." Simon responded without any embarrassment.
However, Alina felt so embarrassed that she wished she could find a hole to hide in.00☐☐☐☐☐
