Chapter 69: My Girlfriend
Blanche Capra intimately called him “York”, her face was so blunt and undisguised tenderness, York Charlie suddenly felt that this moment of light is like spreading sunshine into his heart, every inch of his heart, and even every corner of his heart, are so warm and melting.
York Charlie also held her arm, so gently pulled, pulled her into his arms. Her shallow breath sprayed between her neck, like a wind wrapped in fragrance gently brushing past, York Charlie couldn’t help but feel: so, this is what spring feels like.
“Nice.” He finally spat out this one answer.
Knowing full well what he would say, Blanche Capra couldn’t help but smile when she actually heard it. The two were still embracing face to face when a voice suddenly burst into the small world.
“Did you get this, young lady?”
A man in a work uniform stood in front of Blanche Capra and York Charlie, pointing with one hand at the cans rolling on the floor next to them, and shouting “this lady” in an accusatory tone.Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
It was obvious that he was talking about Blanche Capra.
York Charlie slowly let go of Blanche Capra, black clouds gathered on his face, both hands into his trouser pockets, and also took two steps forward, but his tone was light, “Who are you talking to?”
The person in charge of the supermarket, but he dealt with the supermarket every day, the size of the incident, has long been impatient, so in the sight of the pile of half a day of cans suddenly collapsed, he did not even have to think about it to know that it is just someone knocked down, or else properly piled up here cans can also fall down on their own not to?
He had just heard the report from the supermarket staff that the pile of cans had collapsed, and with this kind of trouble that shouldn’t have happened, he was simply full of irritation. Walking over he saw the young man and woman hugging each other, the girl as if she was in a state of shock, and without even thinking about it he decided to hold the girl responsible.
At the very least, it was only fair to get her back in the pile, he didn’t care who really started this whole thing, he just grabbed what was in front of him. Otherwise he’d be too busy being the one in charge.
So he ran directly over to accuse her, if she can not say who, it is her.
But at this time this supermarket responsible person’s heart is a little weak, because he felt that this man in front of him is too powerful, looks very bad to be messed with, and he just a look, a movement, a simple sentence, let him can not help but want to back away.
At this time he suddenly realized that this was the majesty and aura of a superior person, either rich or noble. So he slightly bent his waist, and replaced his face with a flattering smile, “I’m sorry sir, it might be that my staff misread the situation, please don’t take it personally.”
York Charlie’s complexion did not change, “Since you said it was a misreading, then call up the security camera footage, and I’ll also see who was so careless that they almost hurt my girlfriend.”
Blanche Capra, who was standing behind, froze, her heart floated with the warmth after being gently protected by him, but in the next moment, she felt a little puzzled, why did she have to look at it herself, he is not such a serious person ah …
The person in charge of the supermarket heard York Charlie this request is also a stunned, he did not expect this man in front of him so love and care of his girlfriend, said it is a misunderstanding still have to check a clear.
But this man is not an ordinary person, how can he refuse him. So the person in charge of the supermarket is about to open his mouth to answer down.
Just at this moment, a high-pitched voice suddenly rang out in the still quiet supermarket—
“York!”
Everyone looked over, and Shireen Miller just appeared.
With an aggrieved and angry look, Shireen Miller walked up to York Charlie, “You’re really here, I’ve been looking for you for a long time, aren’t you even going home to have dinner with Auntie today? She fainted last time and she’s still not all better.”
Shireen Miller maintained the right amount of grumbling and displeasure on her face, it really was as if she was saying that she was angry and aggravated because York Charlie had come running to the supermarket with Blanche Capra despite her mother’s health. But is that really what happened? Of course not. Shireen Miller was surprised and angry and jealous when she hid and saw Blanche Capra being saved by York Charlie, and it wasn’t enough for her to see that her little ploy had deepened York Charlie’s bond with Blanche Capra…. It’s not enough that —
It wasn’t enough that York Charlie had just said he wanted to see the security footage himself and find out who the person was who caused the can pile to collapse, and she’d panicked. If York Charlie saw the footage and learnt that the person hadn’t been careless at all, and that it had been her, Shireen Miller, wouldn’t he loathe her even more loathe her? Not to mention that his opinion of her would get worse and worse, maybe Blanche Capra would use it to beat and humiliate her, and would pretend to be aggrieved and pathetic, earning her more affection from York Charlie.
She wasn’t going to allow that to happen!
She had to stop York Charlie from looking at the surveillance! Shireen Miller wasn’t stupid, though. She knew she couldn’t just stand up for herself foolishly, but instead, she had to turn the tables and act like she was complaining and aggrieved, plus use York Charlie’s mother as an excuse.
That, by far, was the best way to resolve the situation.
York Charlie had expected it to be her, and knew she probably wasn’t gone either. He was going to watch the video, he could be sure it wasn’t her even if she wasn’t there, she was in … If she was still there, she would have jumped out and stopped him, no matter how realistic she acted, no matter what excuses she used, no matter what way she used, as long as she jumped out and stopped it, that would be enough to prove everything.
This time, he was going to teach her a lesson!
Shireen Miller’s sudden appearance was a strange thing even to Blanche Capra. How could she believe her poor excuse? Shireen Miller’s appearance, on the contrary, confirmed her suspicions about York Charlie’s behaviour even more-York Charlie’s need to see the surveillance was really not that simple!
The more York Charlie heard Shireen Miller say this, the more he scoffed at her in his mind and the more expressionless his face became, and he felt he needed to remind her of something first.
“What did you call me?”
Blanche Capra’s heart fluttered at the sound of York Charlie’s words, something that he had just asked her … about as well, though obviously, in a very different tone.
Shireen Miller, however, froze, not understanding why he suddenly asked this, so she asked suspiciously, “York ah, what’s wrong?”
York Charlie’s light tone took on a hint of disgust and his eyes were icy, “Did I give you permission to call it that?”
Shireen Miller froze, not expecting him to countenance the title, “I …”
“The only person who can call me that, so far, besides my mother, is my girlfriend. Shireen Miller, in what capacity are you calling me that? Hmm?” The corners of his lips lifted into a dangerous smile, but his hand didn’t move back to take Blanche Capra’s hand, “My girlfriend is right behind me, you … hardly want to take my mother’s place?”
Shireen Miller’s face stiffened instantly. His words were cutting into her, lynching her, slow and persistent pain. The people around her were looking at her so badly, with suspicion and disdain, contempt and pity.
They all despised her! They all pitied her!
