Love Comes To Me -
Chapter 1186: Out of Reach
"No, you're not allowed to meddle in this matter."
Brimlad thought about it, still unsure, but afraid that Eloise would not listen to him, his tone became stern. This was the first time her sister-in-law had spoken to her like this and Eloise knew she was worried about her. So she obediently agreed, "Yes, I know, even if I don't care, you will definitely help Figge, Little Auntie." "You can count on that." Brimlad really had no intention of standing idly by.
"Good then, I'll wait for good news from my brother-in-law."
Brimlad nodded, "You stay home, I'll go to the hospital."
"Good."
As she watched Brimlad leave the room, Eloise's smile slowly faded and a thin layer of frost covered her face.
Despite her promise to her brother-in-law, Goode's actions had made her angry.
She had to do something or she would really feel bad.
At that moment, Thomas walked in and saw her standing by the stairs, looking a little serious and wondering what she was thinking. He walked over to her and asked with concern, "Miss Eloise, what's wrong with you?"
The sudden sound of a voice pulled Eloise's thoughts back, she inclined her head and her eyes lit up when she saw Thomas, "Right ..." Thomas looked puzzled, "Miss Eloise, what's up?"
"Are you free tonight?" Eloise asked instead of answering.
"Yes." Thomas nodded.
"Take me somewhere."
Thomas asked curiously, "Where to?"
Eloise smiled meaningfully, "You'll see when you get there."
This time, she was going to teach Goode a hard lesson.
...
"Clang!"
A stainless steel pan fell to the floor.
Edwina hurriedly picked it up and kept apologizing, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."
"Edwina, what's wrong with you today? Why do you always have problems?" The aunt who was in charge of washing the dishes next to her couldn't help but ask out loud. "It's probably because I didn't sleep well last night." Edwina smiled awkwardly and turned to walk quickly out of the back kitchen.
She raised her hand and slapped her head, chagrin written all over her clear little face.
She didn't know what was wrong with her, she hadn't been in her element today.
Either she ordered the wrong order for a customer or spilled something.
It was really bad!
"Edwina, if you're feeling tired, why don't you take some time off and go home to rest?" A colleague came over and looked at her worriedly.
Edwina shook her head gently, "No, I'm fine."
"Are you sure you're okay?" Her colleague didn't believe her, "You've broken a few plates today, if you keep this up, you'll have your month's salary docked."
"I don't think ... will be." Edwina grudgingly smiled.
At that moment, the manager not far away suddenly shouted, "Edwina, come here for a moment."
Seeing this, her colleague patted her on the shoulder, "Good luck."
Edwina tugged at the corner of her mouth and walked towards the manager.
When she got closer, the manager frowned and asked, "Edwina, are you not feeling well?"
"No." Edwina shook her head.
"Then what's going on? Why have you been making mistakes today?"
Edwina bit her lip, "Manager, I'm sorry, I really ..."
The manager sighed, "Edwina, I'm not trying to blame you, I just want to know what's going on with you? You've been working here for so long, but you've never made so many mistakes." "I ... I probably didn't sleep well." That was all Edwina could explain, because she didn't know what was wrong with her.
"If that's the case, you go home and rest." The manager said.
Edwina shook her head in a hurry, "No, manager, I'm fine. I ..."
"Okay." The manager raised his hand to stop her, "You go home and get some rest. I'm really afraid you're going to break all the plates in the restaurant if you keep holding on."
The manager meant well and Edwina couldn't say anything else but to apologise, "I'm sorry, manager."
"No need to apologise, anyone has bad form at times. I hope you can adjust quickly, there is an anniversary event coming up in the mall, there will be a lot of customers then, so you won't have time to rest." "Don't worry, manager, I'll be in good shape." Edwina assured.
The manager smiled gratefully, "I believe you. Hurry up and change your clothes and go back to rest."
"Okay, thank you manager."
Edwina bent her back while walking quickly towards the changing room.
...
Edwina thought it would be a good idea to go to the supermarket so early after work, the fridge at home was empty and she needed to buy some vegetables and fruits.
She was walking down the street, thinking about what to buy, when a voice suddenly came from above.
"Let's welcome our young and brilliant president, Mr Edgar ..."
At the sound of "Edgar's" name, Edwina looked up and saw Edgar on the big screen.
Her eyes were glued to that handsome face, as if she was cut off from the noise of cars and people around her.
In her world, she could only see Edgar and hear his voice.
"Khan Group will be working with a big foreign consortium next, and I believe that in the future, Khan Group will become one of the biggest groups in the country." Edgar on the screen is so radiant, so confident, so untouchable.
--Untouchable.
Those four words instantly sobered Edwina up.
She lowered her head, a hint of bitterness tugging at the corners of her mouth.
Yes, he was like an unreachable star in the sky.
What was she expecting?
At this moment, she finally knew why she hadn't been in the mood all day.
It was because of Edgar.
More accurately, it was because of Edgar and Elva.
A scene from the mall yesterday came to mind, where he and Miss Ainsley were standing in the lift, both looking so good together, looking so good together.
That was why she had been too self-conscious to look at him and had hurried away with her children as if she had run away.
At that thought, she tilted her head and looked at the big screen.
The advert was playing and there was no more Edgar.
Retracting her gaze, she took a deep breath, "Edwina, Edwina, stop thinking, you and him are impossible, not in this lifetime." She laughed to herself and lifted her steps to continue walking.
But before she could take a few steps she stopped and looked in amazement at the long figure standing not far away.
Edgar was driving his car back to the office when, with an unconscious turn of his head, a familiar figure fell into view. Subconsciously, he pulled over to the side of the road, hurriedly got out of the car and walked over to her.
Seeing the surprised look on her face when she saw him, Edgar was inexplicably a little happy.
He lifted a step towards her.
"What a coincidence." He looked at her with a gentle, light smile.
Edwina looked back and smiled unnaturally, "Yes, what a coincidence."
It was only when she was thinking about him that he appeared in front of her.
Edwina had a surreal feeling.
