Back to Love: A New Beginning
Chapter 275

Chapter 275:.

I waited anxiously for a minute before I received a message on my WhatsApp account. The profile of a cat who likes to eat fish was flashing.

When I clicked on it, I saw several pictures.

“See, this is my hotel room,” it said.

It turned out that Derek had just taken pictures of his room. The photos showed me every nook and cranny of his room.

“Don’t worry, honey. I’ll keep my integrity and purity intact for you,” he said as he laughed.

I didn’t ask her about the launch conference. I decided to pretend I didn’t know anything, and see if he would take the initiative to tell me about it once he had returned.

“You should go to sleep, honey. Try not to miss me too much. And don’t kick the comforter at night. Good night.”

Before he hung up the phone, he took the time to give me a few reminders. But after our call, I couldn’t fall asleep. She left to see Becky without telling me.

Even if I had asked her to leave Sousen, I couldn’t stop worrying about her. If Becky’s TV series became a hit, and considering she was a popular and beautiful female star on par with Derek, what would become of me?

I was restless throughout the night, and the next morning I woke up late. As soon as I opened my eyes, I remembered that I had to participate in the driving test today. When I saw what time it was, I panicked.

I got out of bed, washed up and rushed to the test site without even eating breakfast. From Denzel’s face, I could tell he wanted to strangle me.

But fortunately, he restrained himself. Maybe he was worried that it might affect my mood while taking the exam.

“Don’t be nervous,” he told me. But the moment I sat down in the driver’s seat, I felt unnerved. I was not at my best today.

And sure enough, I failed the test.

When I got out, Denzel began to scold me. “Eveline, what the hell was that, you think you’re driving a go-kart? Weren’t you driving well in practice before? Why have you become so lousy now that you’re taking the practical test?”

Dejected and despondent, I said, “I’m so sorry, Denzel. I barely slept last night.”

“You didn’t sleep well again last night? What did you do?” he asked.

It took me a few moments to remember that last time I told him the same thing when I couldn’t act right.

“I’m sorry.” At this point, I was so embarrassed that I didn’t dare raise my head.

I didn’t leave the exam site until Denzel finished critiquing me.

I was so depressed about what happened. Failing this exam was like adding insult to my injury. Along the way, I walked with my head down. As I crossed the road without looking at the traffic light, I was almost hit by a car.

Fortunately, someone behind me pulled me back.

The car drove past me, followed by a gust of wind and the driver’s incessant swearing. As soon as I turned around, I discovered that it was Alvaro who had saved me.

Seeing my pathetic state, he said, “Are you really that sad about failing the exam?”

“… ”

I had no interest in talking to him, so I wanted to leave without further ado. However, he tugged at me again, “Where are you going, I’ll drive you.”

“No, thank you,” I said in a passive voice without turning away.

“I heard that Gifford broke your son’s head, and that he was so angry that he fainted and was sent to the hospital. Is any of that true?” asked Alvaro.

Suddenly, I stopped in my tracks to give him a look. I saw him leaning against his car, lighting a cigarette. He looked up and flashed a pleased smile.

Suddenly, I realized something. Now that I guessed what had happened, I decided to tease him.

“Now I understand why you told me you wouldn’t even look at a million dollars. I have no idea how many million dollars you’ll get for a piece of land in Sousen. You sure are greedy, aren’t you.”

Without a trace of anger, Alvaro laughed at my comment.

“I’ve already started working on that land. Do you want to see it?”.

I took some time to think about it and decided to hop in his car.

Soon, Alvaro pulled up to Villa Flash. He rolled down the window and pointed to a plot of land on the outskirts of town. There were bulldozers flattening a hillside.

“It’s going to be a great project,” he said cheerfully.
