Female Novel
Chapter 668
I couldn’t help but sigh. After looking at Armond, who was on the phone, I handed the bag to Nora and
said, “Alright, I’ll go get it. Wait here for me.”
“Wow! Thank you, Scarlett.” A joyful smile spread across her face.
Armond spoke into the phone with a low grunt. “I’ve taken the goods and handed them over. Recently
you…”
When he glanced back, he saw me and was taken aback. Then he quickly said into the phone, “I’ll talk
to you later. I’m hanging up now.”
After that, he turned to me and asked, “What’s wrong?”
I was a little embarrassed. All this while I was staying at his place and being a burden to him. Right
now, I was really pushing my luck by asking him to lend me some money.
But I’ve already made a promise. I couldn’t return empty-handed now.
After some thought, I said, “Mr. Murphy, can I borrow some money from you, please? My friends would
like to buy some stuff to bring home to their family members.”
He was stunned for a moment, but he smiled and replied, “Sure.”
From his pocket, he whipped out a black card and said, “Here you go. There’s no credit limit.”
I looked at the card in his hand and felt a little confused. “That’s too much. All I need is just a few
thousand. I…”
“Don’t think too much of it. I only have this card on me,” he said as he looked at me indifferently.
I was surprised, but I reached out and took the black card from him. Sighing inwardly, I said, “I can
never understand the rich.”
Some of the women lost themselves with the card. They bought a lot of products after going around a
dozen of the branded stores in the airport.
Fortunately, they managed to control their shopping impulse. That was only because they were in a
hurry to make it through security checks to board the plane.
At the security checkpoint, I rummaged through my bag for a long time and realized that my air ticket
and entry letter were lost.
The paperwork that Armond had spent an effort to get for me was completely lost.
“Wasn’t it in your bag just now? I watched you put it in the bag. It’s impossible for you to lose it.” Nora
took the bag from me and searched the bag again. She couldn’t find the air ticket and letter in the bag
either.
Nora pondered for a moment and said, “I was holding the bag just now, and I didn’t overturn it. Could it
be that it was lost at one of the shops we visited just now?”
Tabitha grew anxious. Looking at the time, she said, “We only have half an hour left. This is a big
airport, and it’ll take us a while to get to the boarding gate. If we delay anymore, we might miss the
plane.”
Laurel nodded and began to panic.
Tessa looked at me and said, “Scarlett, why don’t you continue to find the documents here by yourself,
and we will wait for you at the boarding gate?”
“No way! What if she can’t find it? Do you want to leave her here all by herself?” Nora said angrily.
I looked at the time. There was not enough time, and that’s considering that we would need some time
to get to the boarding gate after passing through the security check.
After thinking about it for a while, I looked at them and said, “You guys go ahead, go find the boarding
gate first. I’ll go back and look for the documents. It won’t be a problem.”
“But…” Nora looked worried. “But what if you can’t find it? We won’t be able to come out once we go
in.” After a pause, she said, “How about this? I’ll go with you to find it. Anyhow, I’m not in a hurry to go
back. I’ll stay here to accompany you if we can’t find it. There’s nothing much to do back home anyway,
so it’ll be just like a few days of holiday over here.”
Tessa laughed. “I didn’t know you have bonded so well with Scarlett. Are you using her to climb the
ladder because of her connections and family background?”
“You…” Nora fumed at Tessa’s ridiculous remark.
I stopped her and said, “It’s okay. Don’t worry about me. I’ll be fine by myself.”
“I’ll go with you,” Nora said stubbornly. She was a strong-willed person and would never allow anyone
to tell her what to do. After saying that, she took my hand and pulled me out.
I was helpless and I said nothing more.
I felt someone was following us, so I turned around to take a look. To my surprise, it was Armond tailingnovelbin
after us. I said to him, “Go ahead to the boarding gate.”
He replied blandly, “No. The plane might be delayed. No worries.”
“How would you know that the plane will be delayed?” Nora asked. “You don’t own the airport.”
Armond smiled and said, “It’s going to pour soon. They will definitely delay the flight for safety reasons.”
Nora was stunned. She leaned closer to me and said softly in my ear, “I find Armond unfathomable. Are
all young rich men like that?”
“Not necessarily,” I said with a laugh.
After searching through a few shops, we still couldn’t find it. Nora started to panic and said, “I carried
your bag properly just now. There’s no way I could have dropped it.”
She paused and was deep in thought. Then she said, “Let’s search again.”
I stopped her and said, “Forget it. I probably left it in the villa or dropped it somewhere. Why don’t you
join back the girls? I’ll go and prepare for the paperwork again.”
