Chapter 228 Oscar, I'm Not Worth It!
Charles looked so embarrassed. He failed to hide it well when facing a camera.
But it seemed that people did not pay much attention to him now.
Given his record, it was reasonable that he was overwhelmed by Oscar. And audience comments about Charles were few and far between that could be ignored.
Eventually, Oscar got the top score and got the job as an official. Charles ranked second in overall performance and also got the job. Besides, there were three others who got hired too.
There were only five places in Kensbury in the annual official examination. Hence the competition would be an intense one, despite the fairness and justice and there was not much threshold.
Oscar left with Theodore.
Inside the car, Oscar 's phone rang.
"Harrison," said Oscar.
"I saw your scene." Harrison spoke straightforward
"Are you satisfied?" Oscar said with a chuckle.
"Aren't you afraid of being targeted?" Harrison asked.
She was amazed at Oscar.
Logically speaking, Oscar had disguised himself for so many, which made people feel that he was nothing but a playboy. Wasn't it for conceiving the public and biding his time? Harrison was clear that his timing was definitely not now, it could be at least three years later.
He stood out so suddenly, and what on earth was he up to?
"I did it for you. It's worth it."
Harrison was stunned.
She knew his words sounded sweet between men and women, which were pleasant to hear but of no use. But she was touched by him every
time.
Her heartbeat would also miss a few beats because of this.
She couldn't tell whether what Oscar said to her was true or not.
"It's not worth it." Harrison hung up the phone directly.
That was the answer she gave him, no matter what Oscar said.
In this life, she would never give of herself unconditionally for anyone.
Harrison put down the phone, and adjusted her mood silently.
Just as she was about to ask Rose to come in for the work arrangement, the phone rang again. It was Susan.
*Harrison, I caught myself feeling that you had a very good taste." Harrison smiled gently.
"Hell of a prize. You're with Oscar. It's said that reformed rakes make the very best of husbands. I didn't quite think so. I don't used to believe that, but because of Oscar, I thinks it makes sense now." Susan said, in a rare moment of seriousness. "Look at how outstanding Oscar has become for you!"
Harrison felt her words were kinda ridiculous.
"I don't actually have a lot to do with it."
If she hadn't lived twice, knowing that Oscar would become like this one day, she would have felt that Oscar's improvement had nothing to do with her at all. But since that she knew all the truth, she certainly couldn't deceive herself.
"Can't you be confident? Don't you know what a jerk Oscar used to be?"
"That's because he wants to change himself. He can't be such a scum for a lifetime."
"Why didn't he change before getting married? But since he married you, that guy has changed from head to toe. Just don't kid yourself! I saw it, the day I was at your house, Oscar only had eyes for you, he didn't even look at me!*
"Because you provoked Manuel." Harrison thought but she didn't say it as there were some things she didn't want to talk about.
Now she was not sure what was the relationship between Oscar and Manuel. Susan was such a outspoken person, and once she knew a sign, she would spread it to the whole Northfield. For Harrison, she didn't want to cause any trouble for her partner, Oscar. She always felt that since Oscar and Manuel hid their relationship, there must be a reason, and she didn't intend to ruin anything good for Oscar. After all, there were a partnership with him.
"Are you free today?" Harrison changed the topic. She knew that sometimes Susan could keep a chat all day long if she was interested in the topic.
"Yeah, waiting to get married." The tone was very ironic.
"Manuel is pretty good."
"Can you stop saying such disgusting things to me?"
"Anyway, you have to marry. Why not think good of Manuel and you might feel better."
"No, I'd rather feel bad than make Manuel feel better."
"Well, the victory will be a costly one."
"I like it."
"Okay, okay, whatever you say." Harrison didn't troubled herself to say any more words. At this point, it was no use saying anything to Susan. "By the way, I've asked you to make the wedding suit and dress for me. But I don't need them anymore."
"Why?"
"Why should I dress myself up so well to marry Manuel?!"
"So you're going to disappoint me, aren't you?"
"L..."
"So I keep your jokes in my mind all that time. Now I've designed everything for you, and even made the finished products. Now you tell me you don't want them. You really want to piss me off, don't you?" "Next time." Susan said quickly. "I will wear it when I get married next time."
"No next time. You marry Manuel and it's a lifetime thing..."
"No!" Susan retorted, "One day, Manuel will divorce me!*
"I don't think I will design clothes for one who is a second wife. That will bring my designs down to a level." Harrison said it that way on purpose. "Harrison, you're discriminating against second marriage." "No, I just discriminate against you. Manuel is perfect for you, what are you thinking?"
"Why do you always speak up for Manuel? Harrison, what's wrong with you? Tell me, are you possessed by someone else? Just like in the movie, there is another woman going into you..."
"Can you stop being so silly?"Harrison was so contemptuous. But Susan was probably right since there was a 32-year-old Harrison living in her
skin now.
"Then why have you changed so much?"
"I changed because I know what is good and bad now."
Susan didn't believe it but she was not suspecting Harrison. So she wouldn't think too much.
"So that's it. On your wedding day, you'll wear everything I designed for you." Harrison's tone was firm and left no room for it.
To not fail Harrison, Susan reluctantly agreed.
"I'll wear your dress, but Manuel won't."
"Susan!"
"It's not right for his size. Manuel and Henry are not in the same shape. Manuel is nearly 2 inches taller than Henry. It'll be funny if he wears the wrong size!" Susan had a good reason, “I know the clothes are done. It's too late to make a new one."
