Chapter 290 Is He Pursuing You?
“Boss!”
David deftly took Aylin’s coat and bag from her. His sour expression morphed into anger. “I went to handle the procedures on your behalf at noon, but the front desk informed me that someone had already taken care of your check-in.”
Aylin raised an eyebrow. “Is that so? Who was it”
“Humph, it’s that annoying Gavyn!”
David seethed with fury. He felt increasingly frustrated as he had been repeatedly deprived of his role in serving Aylin today. “Has he lost his mind? Always meddling in other people’s affairs!
What’s the point of acting like a good person after getting divorced? Why didn’t he do this earlier?”
As Aylin’s trusted confidant, David shared an intense dissatisfaction with Gavyn. However, due to various circumstances, he couldn’t engage in a direct confrontation and had to restrain himself.
And now, that person dared to come and snatch his job!
“Unforgivable!” Aylin’s beautiful eyes slightly darkened “Considering how he treated you in the past, even if 1 slapped him a hundred times, it wouldn’t be enough! Now he decides to be on your side? Who knows what he’s truly plotting!”
The motive behind Gavyn’s actions suddenly struck David.
He paused, as if remembering something, and lowered his voice in disbelief, “Boss, you don’t think that guy wants to win you back, do you…?”
“That’s out of the question! I’d be the first one to reject that!”
Aylin raised her arm lightly and cast a glance at him. “Are you out of your mind too?”
The hotel’s lighting accentuated her fair and almost translucent skin, creating an air of detachment and coldness.
“If someone harbored animosity towards you for three whole years and suddenly changes their behavior, offering even a slightly kinder treatment, would you believe they are pursuing you?” Aylin looked at David, a mocking smile curling her lips.
“Then how would you explain their actions over the past three years?” she continued. Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.
David found himself speechless, unable to respond to Aylin’s question.
He realized he had unintentionally touched a nerve and wisely chose to remain silent, refraining from further comments.
“Then boss, how about I assist you in changing rooms…?”
Aylin furrowed her brow. “I’ve already made the reservation, so let’s not bother with that.”
Despite the Koch family’s affluence, Aylin was not one to indulge in extravagance. While Gavyn might not worry about his own expenses, Aylin prioritized the well-being of her subordinates.
With a long stride, Aylin obtained the room card from the receptionist and entered the elevator.
David followed closely behind, leaving only the two of them inside. Aylin stood with her arms crossed, exuding an elegant and captivating posture.
David couldn’t help but sigh in his heart. Now Aylin would no longer make impulsive decisions on whims.
As a high-level manager, she undeniably excelled. Her composure, rationality, decisiveness, and extraordinary courage set her apart from ordinary individuals.
Was there still hope for my silly brother?
“David.”
Aylin unexpectedly called out, and David quickly turned his attention to her. “Yes, boss?” he responded.
“Tomorrow, you will take care of Abby at the hospital, while I’ll handle her withdrawal from school.”
The situation had escalated to the point where it was no longer feasible for Abby to remain at her current school. Returning to New York seemed to be the best course of action.
David offered to help, “Boss, please take some rest. There’s no need for you to personally make this trip. I can find someone else to handle it, and it won’t take more than two hours.”
“Since I’ve made the decision to raise her, I must handle many things myself. Otherwise, I won’t feelnovelxo.com fast update at ease. Tomorrow, you go to the hospital, and I’ll go to the school,” Aylin ordered calmly.
David knew that once Aylin had resolved to do something, no one could sway her. He couldn’t help but express his admiration, “Boss, you have a kind heart!”
Not only did she confront the despicable Timothy on behalf of the little girl, but she also took care of her hospital expenses. Amidst her busy schedule, she still found time to care for a child. That was no trivial matter.
That exemplifies pure courage and vision!
Aylin lifted her gaze, her determined almond-shaped eyes shining brightly. “She is my family. I made a promise to her, and I intend to fulfill my responsibility.
Some people may be beasts, but others are family!
Ding! The elevator doors opened, and Aylin took her coat and bag from David.
“I’m tired. I’ll go back to the room and rest. You can leave as well,” she stated.
David watched as Aylin entered the room, feeling a sense of relief only after she had disappeared from his sight. “Boss, please rest well. I’ll go back and keep an eye on that little girl tonight,” he assured her.
Aylin is truly amazing, and I mustn’t lag behind! David thought to himself.
The following day, Aylin rose early.
Ruben was a habitual drinker and slacker, which made him unwilling to send Abby to an expensive private school.
Elementary school classes began at eight o’clock, and Aylin had already confirmed in advance that Abby’s homeroom teacher had no class for the first period. That presented the perfect opportunity to handle the matter half an hour earlier.
Carrying her bag, Aylin gracefully descended the stairs, maintaining a composed and cool demeanor that caught the attention of passersby.
Despite dressing in a simple and understated manner for her visit to the school, her innate elegance could make any outfit exude a high-fashion vibe.
Just as she stepped out of the door, a hurried male voice caught her attention, “Quick, move aside…!”
Before she could react, Aylin collided with a tall and slender young man wearing a hoodie, resulting in a momentary impact. Aylin let out a hiss of pain.
The young man immediately grew panicked and rushed to hold Aylin. “I’m sorry, I’m sorry, it’s my fault. Miss, are you injured?”
Encountering such a situation right after emerging from the room would irritate anyone. However, the young man displayed a genuinely apologetic attitude and his words were filled with sincere remorse, so Aylin didn’t dwell on it.
“I’m fine, but you…” As she raised her eyes to address him, she suddenly froze in place.
That face…
The young man remained oblivious to Aylin’s stunned expression. He glanced back intermittently while speaking. Upon hearing her assurance of being fine, he let out a sigh of relief. “I’m glad you’re okay, but I can’t stay any longer. I have to go!”
If he didn’t leave soon, those people would catch up to him and he would find himself in big trouble.
Unfortunately, speaking of the devil, “You little brat, stop right there!”
A voice echoed, and a group of burly men with tattooed arms emerged from around the corner, chasing after him. They shouted curses and threats, “You little brat, you can run pretty fast but if I catch up to you, I’ll teach you a lesson!”
After apologizing to Aylin, the young man quickly took off running!
The burly men noticed the two of them standing together and spat on the ground. “You little brat, running away and still have time flirting with girls.”
Aylin frowned at his words, her cold gaze sending a shiver down the burly man’s spine. Enraged, he erupted in a furious outburst, “What the hell are you staring at? Move out of my way!”
Aylin stood her ground, refusing to yield.
The enraged man with tattooed arms seethed, “You bitch, can’t you hear me talking? Are you deliberately blocking the way? You’re asking for trouble, huh?”
Another man with a buzz cut snorted disdainfully, “Is she perhaps the little brat’s lover? Stop wasting time with her! Let’s grab them both!”
As they spoke, the men rolled up their sleeves, revealing their formidable, muscular arms, preparing themselves for a confrontation.
Aylin gently placed her bag on the nearby steps and flexed her wrists and neck.
“You want to fight us? Look at yourselves. Do you even know your own strength?”
“You bitch, I’ll teach you a lesson!”
The man, unable to catch the young man, sought to vent his anger on Aylin. With his hand formed into a fist, he lunged forward, aiming straight for Aylin’s face!
Effortlessly, Aylin sidestepped, causing him to miss. However, due to inertia, he leaned forward slightly.
What a weakling!
What a weakling! Aylin’s expression remained indifferent as she seized the short two-second window. With a swift high kick, before the man could react or comprehend what had just happened, he experienced a sudden jolt of pain in his spine and collapsed to his knees!
