Chapter 36 In the Last Two Seconds
Why this woman was caring about others at this moment!
Jasper ignored Elizabeth's question and was single-minded in the bomb disposal.
"Are you an agent?" Elizabeth asked.
She asked so many questions at this time, because she felt that if she did not say something, she would be very afraid and cry.
No one was afraid to die, and she was just a woman who had never received any intensive psychological training.
She only guessed his identity.
He climbed over her balcony in the middle of the night to break into her house, wounded. He searched for poppies in the remote mountains of her poor hometown. Now he was removing the bomb for her.
He showed in different places with many identities, so he must be an agent, she thought
There were ten seconds left.
"Blue, pink, white, black, yellow, green, which color do you like best?" Jasper asked Elizabeth.
"Pink!" Elizabeth answered without thinking.
In the last two seconds, Jasper cut the line.
The bomb finally stopped at the "1" second.
"You're indeed my woman!" Jasper showed a smile, suddenly he held Elizabeth into his arms.
This hug... was... warm...
Elizabeth fainted.
All the time, she was in fear and she did not hold on at the last moment.
Feeling Elizabeth was motionless, Jasper held her shoulders and looked down at her subconsciously.
She was pale on face and purple on lips.
She had fainted from fear...
"Snow, Snow, Snow!"
Elizabeth did not move, so Jasper had to pick her up from the ground.
At this point, two doctors, guided by the police, came galloping towards them.
"Doctor, check on her!" cried Jasper anxiously.
Elizabeth could vaguely hear the man's familiar but anxious voice.
He was... worried about her?
The next time she woke up, she found herself in the hospital.
The sky outside the window was grey.
What time was it now?
Elizabeth woke up and found the clock on the wall showing five o'clock in the morning.
The office time began at 8:30, She still had three and a half hours to get the design drawing out!
Elizabeth pulled out the injection needle on her hand, put on her shoes and left the hospital in a hurry.
After arriving at the company, Elizabeth persuaded the guard to let her get into the company ahead of time.
Elizabeth ran to her desk and sat down, turned on her computer and immediately got into work.
She had to make it!
She had to make sure she has the design drawing done before 8:30!
Fortunately, the living room design was familiar to that she drew as an intern in the decoration company of LH City.
So, Elizabeth just needed to make a little modification on it.
Sitting alone in the cubicle, she engaged herself in work in the front of the computer.
She just wanted to have the effect drawing done!
Hugo found upstairs there light in an office was on when he stood in the front of the building. He inexplicably thought of Elizabeth.
Therefore, he walked uneasily to the design department.
Through French window, he saw Elizabeth was working seriously.
She was unkempt, as if she had been up all night.
Elizabeth had been making effect drawing and did not notice Hugo stood outside looking at her for a long time.
The way she worked hard reminded him that he had worked so hard to win approval from his grandfather.
Although their status was different, from a certain point of view, he felt that he and Elizabeth were a little sympathetic to each other.
Both of them wanted to have a home of their own and wanted to change their life through hard work.
"Ben, bring breakfast upstairs to the design department and give it to a girl named Elizabeth." Hugo made a call to Ben and then turned away with a smile. After the completion of work, Elizabeth printed out the effect drawing. It was a modification, so she was upset but it was the only way.
She stretched and ran to the bathroom to wash her face, gargled and straightened her hair.
Seeing her tired look in the mirror, Elizabeth showed a wry smile.
Why did she have to be so embarrassed?
Right!
Elizabeth suddenly remembered the laptop she bought last night...
Well...
She was upset and thought it must have been taken away by someone else. It was chaotic at that time.
However, recalling the man removing bomb for her at the last moment and was in the destiny with her, Elizabeth blushed involuntarily.
But, that man was wearing mask, so she could not see his face.
But he was handsome by his features.
At that time, she was preoccupied with whether she would die and did not notice that man was handsome, but now she had calmed down and found that man was handsome! When she was wandering, two female colleagues came in, talking and laughing.
Elizabeth went back to the office, embarrassed.
Although it was half past eight to go to work, but at a quarter past eight, the colleagues had come one after another. The cubicles were gradually bustling up. "Who is Elizabeth?"
At this point, a man in a black suit, carrying several bags, stood at the front door of the design department and asked.
After everybody looked at this man and then looked at Elizabeth.
Elizabeth raised her hand in a daze and answered, "It is me..."
Ben came to her.
Before Elizabeth understood what was going on, Ben put the breakfast on Elizabeth's desk.
"Enjoy your breakfast."
Ben said politely and then left without waiting for Elizabeth to ask for reason.
Seeing this, the colleagues were whispering.☐☐☐☐☐☐
