Female Novel
Chapter 75
Just as I was about to explain, I heard Bruce asking another question, “What’s the deal with the admission letter?”
I finally understood what was happening.
The stuff he’d said earlier was just to lead up to this. This was the question he wanted to ask the most.
I quickly replied, “As you heard, I gave up because I didn’t want to go.” I gripped my car key nervously as I said so.
At that moment, what flashed through my mind was the scene of me handing over my hard-earned one hundred thousand to the study abroad agency.
Two years ago, studying abroad wasn’t as difficult as it was now. However, one had to meet the requirement of paying a deposit.
It was a critical part of the application process, and as a student, I could only afford to pay that much.novelbin
However, the agent told me that only one person could study abroad with that amount.
At that time, I thought it was okay for me not to go. After all, with my abilities, it wouldn’t make much of a difference to enroll a few years later.
What’s more, Bruce needed that opportunity more than me.
So, I hid the fact that I was accepted into the course. And then, I handed over my entire savings—the only one hundred thousand I had—to Bruce.
“Why did you hide it from me?” Bruce’s assertive voice snapped me back to reality.
I forced a smile and replied, “It was my own choice to give up studying abroad. You don’t need to hold a grudge over it. If you really feel bad about it, just consider it as if I’ve opened a fixed-term deposit with you. You can give me the interest when you return the money.”
“Nancy!”
Bruce’s sudden roar startled me, and I looked up to see him staring grimly and in disbelief at me.
His eyes surged with emotions, and he gave off a dangerous air.
Suddenly, I thought it was irrational for me to bring up the money.
Then, I adopted a sincere tone, as if I were dealing with an investor. “I’m sorry. I…” I began.
Bruce called my full name again, “Is that it, Nancy Fisher? Is that all?”
For some reason, my heart trembled when I heard him asking that.
But being lovesick wasn’t a glorious thing to talk about.
So, I questioned back, “What else?”
Bruce let out a sneer. Then, he walked toward the elevator and said, “Okay. A fixed deposit, you say.
As the elevator doors closed, I felt my legs go weak, as if all support had suddenly vanished.
Then, I slumped against the wall in dismay.
I should’ve been happy to receive another sum of money. Yet, I found myself unable to sleep that night.
…
The next morning, I went to the office earlier than usual.
However, I didn’t expect to bump into Cindy at the elevator.
She had her hair tied into a high ponytail and held a folder in her hand, looking radiant and full of energy. Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org
It seemed like she hadn’t been affected by the events of the previous night’s banquet.
Cindy was also stunned to see me. “You’re also early today, Nancy.” she said, her voice sweet as usual.
I nodded. “You’re quite early too.”
“Oh dear. I felt so embarrassed from hearing your conversation with Stack yesterday.” Cindy looked at me shyly. “That’s why I went back and spent the entire night studying our project.” Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org
I lifted my gaze and skimmed over Cindy’s delicate cheeks. However, I stayed silent.
Then, in the next second, I heard her ask, “Do you know that I found a huge bug in our game when I looked at it carefully?” Content belongs to NovelDrama.Org
