Chapter 19 Love buried in the gutter
A “warmth” full of hatred, Flora became the giver of it.
Outside the window, the cold moonlight mercilessly hit Flora’s face, sweat dripping from her forehead, looking at the treacherous and ruthless face of Clayton beneath her, every movement became the ultimate insult to her.
The only thing she can do is to use her remaining indifference to maintain that ridiculous and miserable dignity.
…
The next day, a beam of blinding sunlight woke Flora from her sleep, her bloodshot eyes clearly illustrated how badly she had slept this night.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
The Clayton beside her had long since disappeared, and Flora smiled miserably as she struggled to get up and out of bed.
This is good, who let the two of them now look at each other.
Flora walked with difficulty to the corner, picked up the robe on the floor and put it on, Clayton’s room did not have her clothes, she could only go back to her room one step at a time.
The same as when she came, the short 10meter walk took her a long time, and every time she took a step there was a sharp stinging pain somewhere until she got back to her room.
Flora quickly took out a few painkillers from the drawer and chewed them down. For so long, whether it was Clayton’s torture or the aftereffects of the pill, she had been living on these painkillers.
At first, the painkillers had a noticeable pain relief effect, but over time, she gradually increased from one to five tablets.
Flora finished taking the pills and sat weakly on the edge of the bed, until the painkillers worked a little, she then struggled to brace herself, went into the bathroom and simply took a shower.
“Buzz …”
Flora had just opened the bathroom door when she heard her phone buzzing recklessly.
She moved quickly to the dresser, a string of phone numbers still pulsing impatiently on the phone screen, and Flora had no choice but to answer the call.
“Hello, editorinchief.”
The caller was none other than the editorinchief of the newspaper Flora worked for, who was also known to be a jealous woman and had long looked at Flora with displeasure.
“Flora, Flora, you still have the face to call me editorinchief, I think it’s time for me to call you an aunt, you don’t have to come to work at the newspaper in the future.”
The editorinchief’s sharp cursing voice came from the other side, stinging Flora immediately put the phone away from the ear.
“I don’t understand why?”
Flora’s eyebrows frowned slightly, although she had long known that the editorinchief did not like her, but the good thing was that she was tightly organized, so that no one could pick any fault.
Now, dismissed for no reason, she needed an explanation.
“And you’re asking me why? You have disgraced our newspaper by driving a car and injuring someone, listen carefully you are fired, and do not tell anyone that you have worked for me in the future.”
After the editorinchief’s rebuke, he hung up the phone without mercy, and by the time Flora reacted, a busy tone was ringing in her ears.
Flora clutching the phone, driving a car to hurt people?
Needless to say, this in addition to Blair can make the trick there will be who? So she does not fight back some people really think she is submissive.
Flora quickly packed up her things and was about to leave the house when she ran into Clayton headon.
Flora subconsciously backed up, her eyes had already turned cold with expectation and she could not afford to look at Clayton.
“Where to?”
Clayton spoke coldly, his gaze condensing on Flora, pressing closer and closer until Flora fell on the bed, with no way back.
The cool air around him was dangerous, and Flora, who had long been used to being humble in front of him, now habitually collected her own hostility.
“Go out.” Flora replied briefly.
“Theo has never thought of you as dirty? And yes, how can he think you are dirty, after all, he broke your body …”
“That’s enough Clayton, I told you I have nothing to do with Theo, so why are you insulting me and making me look at you in disgust?”
Flora had enough of Clayton’s unpleasant words, and she spoke sternly to stop his next words.
If she had been in love with Clayton before, what was left of that love had been buried in a ditch after he had been so vicious one at a time.
