Let's Get Married

Chapter 223: Playing cat and mouse with her

This voice….

Sally looks up and when her sight touches the glowing handsome face, she is stunned, why, why is he here?

But she then recalls that Rex is Lily’s boyfriend. Now that Lily’s father is in the hospital, it is reasonable that Karl would come to visit him who just finished his operation.

It’s just very coincidence that they will meet here.

Since their last conflict in the North Villa, Sally has not contacted with him whether from work or private life. At this moment, by feeling his palm on her back, she feels thirty out of no reason.

Karl looks at the woman’s stunning eyes and realizes that his movements are too intimate. He then moves his palm away without showing any traces. Although there is a wave in his heart, his face is still serious, sorting his emotions in order to avoid any peculiar. And without waiting for him to speak, the woman in front of him is ready to detour.

There is a rift in the man’s usual gentle face. He frowns, a deep frown, and tries to pull her wrist with great force. He drags her back to the original position and says in a displeasure tone, “Did I let you go?”

Sally is like a cat being stepped on its tail, she pulls her arm back with all her strength. Butt still, no matter how hard she tried, she could not break from the man’s imprisonment. Those hands lock her tightly like an iron chain.

“Dean Karl, what are you doing?” Her voice is trembling because of the anger.

Instead, Karl is calmer after hearing her words. While looking at her big eyes that are full of personal emotions, he sarcastically says, “Isn’t it normal for me to discipline my staff, what did I do, huh? Or do

you think I pull you based on a personal feeling?”

Sally does think so. Thus, when Karl said so, the white face turns red at once.

She resentfully looks at the person in front of her, thinking of his ruthless criticism that day, which makes her could not help but replies, “I don’t know what I, an unprofessional doctor, can do for you!”

This sentence he said that day is the saddest one for her.

Karl then remembers in an instant, recalling the unpleasantness of that day. He squints. For the first time, a deep dark light appears in the clear yet bright eyes. When he hears what she said, he feels better. Since she still remembers, it means that she cares.

She cares about him.

The moment when this cognition breaks into his mind, Karl’s heart beats disorderly. Over the years, his life is flat, let alone the feelings of men and women. At this moment, he even feels a little uncomfortable with this throbbing.

The next second, when she is unprepared, he suddenly releases her hand and tucks his hands in his long white coat, “Come with me to my office.”

After it, he does not even look at her and walks straight forward.

Sally stands still in the place and looks at the long shadow in a huff. His long legs walk with wind, which makes people who see it feel unpleasant.

“If you don’t come, you don’t have to work anymore tomorrow.”

Sally widens her eyes in disbelief. No matter what, she does not expect that one day, Karl will use his position to get even with her for their private grudges. She girts her teeth. Even though she is reluctant,

she has no choice but follows him.

Chapter 224: Confession of Love

After entering the office, Karl does not in a rush to sit down but stands by the door, like waiting idly for opportunities. Sally almost hits his chest as soon as she enters the door.

In such a close distance… Sally grits her teeth, knowing that he is intentional. While enduring her anger, she says, “Could you please move aside.”

Karl looks down, his vision like two lasers check on her expression. Just as Sally is about to parry, he moves slowly, giving her a space to come in.

However, even if he moved away, their distance is still very close. When Sally walks past him, she still inevitably rubs her arms against his body.

She does not even dare to see where it rubbed, only blushing and walking into the office.

With a click, the door is closed. She has obviously entered this space for countless times, but at this time, she feels uncomfortable.

Sally stands in front of his office, like a soldier waiting for interrogation. She does not even know why she is nervous. She just thinks that everything is very unusual today. The atmosphere between them is somehow ambiguous.

Besides silence, it is still silent.

Finally, Sally could not endure that two scorching sights anymore, feeling like she will be cooked if she stays silent. Thus, she asks with a trembling voice, “Is there anything I can do for you?”

Unexpectedly, Karl goes to sit on the leather swivel chair in front of her and slightly raises his eyebrows, then looks at her leisurely, “What do you say?”

She says? What did she say? Exclusive content from NôvelDrama.Org.

Sally inhales deeply, trying to remain calm, “Dean Karl, you let me come over, shouldn’t you ask yourself?”

She keeps on calling Dean Karl in every sentence. It is ear-piercing for Karl to listen to it. He always feels that this girl is deliberately drawing a line with him.

Karl smiles, which gives people goose bumps. Even though he is sitting and despite his short height, his aura is full of trembling sense, “I heard that you’re asking others about my information recently?”

Once the word fell, Sally freezes. She indeed inquired others recently, but it was about Lily and Marina’s affairs. She was really worried but afraid to ask Lily directly. Because of this unpleasantness, she inquired. But how can he know….

“Curious about how did I know?” Karl can see what she is thinking at a first glance, there is a joke under his eyes, “This is my hospital.”

In other words, what he wants to know, people will tell him.

Sally has the illusion of being examined by stripping her clothes. She wants to explain but after stammering for a while, she still does not know where to start from. This anxiousness makes her blushed till the root of her neck.

“Sally, why are you inquiring about me?” Karl is not done yet, he deliberately asks her over and over again, as if he must know something.

“I… I…” Sally bites her lip and soon loosens it again, “I didn’t mean it, I just want to know what happened to Lily.”

“So you asked around about me?” Karl stands up and walks to her, “You’re interfering with your leader’s private affairs, you know?”

Sally knows that justice is not on her side, which makes her speechless. She can only let him question herself.

Thinking of her unspoken feelings for him these days, thinking of her intentionally paying attention to him during these days, the emotions that are originally buried inside her heart explodes instantly like hot lava bursting from its crater, burning her eyes and also the bottom of her heart. Her nose is tingling and she apologizes insincerely, “Sorry, I won’t do it again next time.”

After saying this, as if unable to stay anymore, she turns around and walks towards the door regardless of the reaction of the man behind her.

Karl is almost dumbfounded. The moment she turned around, he sees her red eyes, how can he really let her go?

The long legs take two steps and he grabs her wrists, his fingers assemble. There is no more easiness in his tone, instead, it is replaced by imperceptible anxiety, “If you did something wrong and run away, when will you face yourself?”

“I can’t face it.” Sally is backing him. Since she could not see his suffocating sight, the courage finally increases and she dares to talk to him, “You’re my senior, my director. If you scold me, I have to listen.”

She talks ironically, unable to suppress her unconvinced tone.

Karl raises his eyebrows and turns her with some effort to be in front of him. By looking at those pairs of big eyes that are about to burst into tears, the palm that is holding her wrist pull again to the side until she is about to fall into his arms.

“Can’t face it?” Karl lifts her chin and kisses the pink lip, “I’ll help you.”
