SWNOVELS Chapter 17
Chapter 17 Were You Bullied?
Eleanor’s and Wesley’s eyes met, and they fell silent. The next second, a basin of cool water was splashed onto Wesley, from head to toe. He was wet all over. He was then kicked out of the bathroom. Eleanor slammed the door shut and roared behind it. “Wesley, you rascal!” Wesley frowned tightly, his mind on Eleanor’s bruised back. Obviously, she was injured badly. The scars were scary on her fair back. Wesley stood outside the door and asked, “What happened to your back?” Eleanor yelled, “What’s it got to do with you? Shame on you, bastard!” Wesley asked, “Were you bullied?” Eleanor continued to shout, “I was bullied by you! You’re shameless! You asshole, how dare you peep at me!” “You … ungrateful woman! I broke in because I thought something had happened to you. I was worried about you!” “I don’t need you to worry about me! Just worry about your Arianna! You jerk!” Wesley was enraged. “Do you think I want to worry about you? If my grandpa hadn’t told me to protect you, how would I be worried about you?” Eleanor’s voice was even higher than his. “I don’t need you to protect me. Stay away from me! Get as far away as you can!” Wesley was speechless. He felt he was crazy to worry about her. Women like her weren’t worth worrying about at all. Wesley quickly went to the study to take a shower and change into clean clothes, furious. He thought, “This wicked woman is unreasonable.” Wesley had just returned to the bedroom when his cell phone rang. He impatiently answered, “What’s the matter?” “Mr. Laurier, Grumpy Bunny has appeared.” “Who is it?” “Lord Hare, the one we’ve been looking for.” Wesley’s expression immediately changed. After a moment of silence, he asked, “Isn’t he a man?” “Yes.” “Then why is he called Grumpy Bunny?” The person on the other end froze for a second. “Well, I don’t know. That’s his nickname on Line.” “Are you sure it’s him?” Wesley asked. “Yes, he personally sent a message in the group chat. Now everyone in the circle is excited.” Wesley frowned slightly and looked serious. “Where is he now?” “I don’t know, but he announced this morning that he was looking for a job, so I think he will work soon.” Wesley said, “Find a way to contact him. As long as he agrees, he can get whatever he wants.” “Got it.” Wesley hung up the phone, feeling a bit better. He had been looking for this person for a long time, but this person was mysterious and hard to find. Now that there was news, it was a good thing. He could not miss this chance. Eleanor came out of the bathroom. Seeing that Wesley was on the couch, talking on the phone, she gave him a black look with red cheeks. She wanted to get the injuries on her back healed before she went out to work, and today she’d gone to a few pharmacies to get the medicine and have it processed into salve. She made the prescription by herself, and she didn’t dare to let outsiders apply the medicine to her for fear of exposing her secrets. But the injuries were on her back, so it was inconvenient for her to apply the medicine herself, and she had been doing it carefully. However… Wesley suddenly appeared, which startled her. As a result, she pressed a pile of medicine on her wounds, causing her so much pain. Moreover, she was not wearing a shirt at that time, and he kicked open the door… He saw her upper body naked. Eleanor was annoyed. She glared at Wesley and flopped down on the bed to look at her cell phone. A minute ago, someone sent her a message to talk about work. The workplace was in Burville, and she could ask for whatever she wanted. Eleanor was tempted and replied: “800 thousand dollars a game. No bargaining!” Considering Wesley’s attitude toward her, she couldn’t ask him for money. She had to earn money to support herself. Making money was much happier than being in a relationship. A career was better than a relationship. Wesley received a text message. “Mr. Laurier, he has agreed. The demand is 800 thousand dollars a game.” Wesley’s mood instantly improved. He replied: “OK!” Eleanor quickly received a reply. “No problem. I will tell you the time later.” Eleanor responded: “It has to be postponed. I have something to do now.” She needed to get her back healed first. “Okay, okay, I’ll arrange it according to your schedule.” Eleanor didn’t say anything else. Both she and Wesley were delighted at the moment, but when their eyes unintentionally met, they both frowned. At the same time, they let out a cold snort and looked away from each other.
