When Carla felt the animosity, she grew inexplicably anxious.
"Mr. Stayton, are you alright?" Zain strolled over casually.
Behind him, Benard has instructed the bodyguards to investigate how it happened."I'm fine, it's just a scratch.'
Despite sweating profusely, Harry maintained his composure with a faint smile.
"I'm impressed that you have rescued a damsel in distress." Zain smiled. "Although she isn't much of a beauty, I have to thank you on her behalf as her employer."
Carla furrowed her eyebrows as she felt strange hearing what Zain said: Please don't say that. It's nothing at all." Harry glanced at Carla before saying to Zain, "I was just looking for you. Are you…""I've something on so I'm heading out." Zain was polite but aloof. "Sorry for wasting your time."
"Erm…" Harry froze briefly before replying with a smile. "No worries. I'll come again when you're free…"
"Mmm-hmm, " Zain grunted in acknowledgment before getting into his car.
Harry stood still, feeling extremely awkward.
Wenoma asked softly, "Didn't you have an appointment with him?"
"Ignore him, he always behaves this way." When Carla saw how Harry was treated, she felt bad for him. "Let's go to the hospital…"
"Mr. Stayton!" At that moment, Benard came cover and politely explained, "Mr. Giblo has an urgent matter to attend to today. Shall we make another appointment for next time?"
"Sure, I'll let you know." Harry nodded with a smile.
"Are you injured? I'll have someone send you to the hospital."
Benard waved for the bodyguards to come.
"I'm fine. I'll manage this myself." Harry replied politely. "You should go on. Mr. Giblo must be waiting for you.
"In that case…"
"Mr. Benard, " Carla used the opportunity to ask Benard, "Mr. Stayton was injured trying to save me. I'll like to send him to the hospital, is that alright?"
"Erm…" Benard turned to look at Zain before nodding. "Sure!"
"Thank you." Carla immediately supported Harry.
This time, Harry didn't refuse.
"What happened?"
Avares arrived in a huff. When he saw what happened, he was shocked.
"Just now, some crates fell down and almost injured me, but Mr. Stayton saved me instead, " Carla explained. "Mr. Benard has given me permission to send Mr. Stayton to the hospital. Avares, please help me report this to Mr. Collins."
"Okay, sure." Avares nodded.
"Be careful, don't hurt your arm."
Carla helped Harry into the car.
As the Rolls-Rolice Phantom passed them by, Harry looked up and saw Zain giving Carla a cold stare.
"Wenoma, you drive. The rest of you, take the other car, " Harry instructed.
"Yes, sir."
While driving the Whyte Bentley out of the parking lot, Wenoma couldn't help but reminisce the old times with Carla. "Miss Wigston, it's been such a long time. Do you still remember me?"
"How can I forget?" Carla laughed and remarked, "When Harry and I were dating, you were always behind us. He would always scold you for being the third wheel."
"Hahaha…" Wenoma laughed heartily.
"I thought you have forgotten." Harry's voice was as gentle as it was in the past. He looked longingly at Carla.
Carla was jolted and lowered her head. "But that's all in the past now."
The atmosphere began to feel awkward.
Clearing his throat, Wenoma focused on driving and didn't dare to say another word.
"Do you and Mr. Giblo know each other?"
Harry was a smart man. Just by observing them, he kNew that Zain was somehow interested in Carla.
"He is my boss. Why wouldn't I know him?" It seemed that she didn't think that way.
"Are you here to talk business with him? With the Stayton Group's current status, you don't need to depend on him, do you? Even if it's a business deal, he should treat you with respect. You don't have to put up with his attitude."
