Chapter 48
The next day, photos of Balch accompanying Seraphina into the hotel popped up in the news again.
At ten o’clock in the morning. Seraphina had just gotten out of bed when she got a call from Sandra
“You’re quite a piece of work, nearly on the news every day for ten days straight” Sandra said, “Aren’t you fed up? I’m sick of it!
At that time, Seraphina was sitting in the hotel room watching the news. I’m not fed up I feel like it’s not even enough”
“What more do you want?” Sandra asked. “Are you planning on dragging yourself into this case?”
“If it really got to that point, I might consider it Seraphina said.
“You… Sandra was left speechless out of frustration
Only then did Seraphina laugh, ‘Don’t you know me? Don’t worry!”
Hearing this, Sandra just grunted.
Since starting her career as a journalist, Seraphina has accumulated experience and skills, capable of handling anyone with ease. Even the toughest guys can’t rattle her, let alone a gentleman like Balch.
But this gentleman, seemed to be even more worrying
“If it doesn’t work out, we’ll stop investigating Sandra said, “Is it worth it?”
“Don’t worry.” Seraphina reassured her, “It’s almost over.”
In the afternoon, Seraphina went to the mall and picked out a tie to give to Balch as an apology gift for her unstable mood the night before.
Leaving the mall, Seraphina walked to the intersection to hail a taxi.
The road was bustling, with no vacant cabs in sight.
As Seraphina was about to call a cab on her phone, someone suddenly bumped into her from behind.
Seraphina swayed, barely keeping her balance. Just as she was about to turn around to see who it was, a force appeared at her waist and shoved her into the traffic!
The screeching sound of brakes suddenly rang out, followed by several loud crash noises!
Five cars piled up, and at the front of the first car, Seraphina lay on the road.
By the time Balch rushed to the hospital, Seraphina had already woken up.
Balch walked into the room to see Seraphina sitting up on the hospital bed, holding a box.
“Are you okay?” Balch walked over to Seraphina and asked quietly.
Seraphina handed him the box, “All this, and I nearly lost my life!”
Balch opened the box to find a dark red tie.
“A gift for you.” Seraphina said, “I don’t know who bumped into me, and this box fell, and I was almost killed on the road picking it up!”
“Lucky it’s just scrapes.” Balch looked at her, “You ran onto the road just to pick this up?”
Seraphina frowned, “Actually, I don’t remember much about what happened then. I was too scared. It seemed like someone pushed me…but who would push someone into the traffic for no reason? I must have gone to pick this up…”
Balch raised his hand, gently touched her forehead, “You can’t even remember what happened. Did you get a concussion?”
Seraphina made a face and said, “The doctor said I have a slight concussion. So, you better cherish this tie and wear it every day. if you dare to throw it away, you’ll regret it!” Balch looked at the tie in his hand and let out a helpless sigh. “Don’t worry, I’ll wear it,” he reassured her.
“Put it on now?” Seraphina asked.
“Sure.”
Balch immediately untied his own tie and put on the one Seraphina bought.
Seraphina helped him tie it, then smiled satisfactorily. “See, this tie suits you. I have good taste, don’t I?”
“Absolutely”
After saying this, Balch took Seraphina’s hand and kissed it.
Seraphina’s smile was radiant, full of sweetness.
