Chapter 74 He has no selfishness
It was a long time before Swanstrom spoke up, "Thank you...... and I'll be blunt. This is not a time when I can think about these things, I have a lot to do, so all I can say is, sorry."
Archie was like a deflated ball.
But soon Archie adjusted himself and squeezed out a smile, "It's okay, I know what I said was too abrupt. Then it's always okay to be a friend, right? I won't tell any that we met abroad. Today is the first day we met."
"I ......" Swanstrom paused or said decisively, "I'm ...... not really in a state where I can make friends right now. But really thank you ......"
Archie asked suspiciously, "What exactly do you have to do? To hide your identity, not to fall in love, not even to make friends?"
Swanstrom drops his eyes: "It's my own personal business......"
Archie sensed that Swanstrom's mood had suddenly become low, and he quickly apologized, "I'm sorry, I overstepped my bounds and shouldn't have asked so many questions. But, Miss Brooks, whenever you need anything, feel free to contact me. No matter what it is, I can help you."
"Thanks." Swanstrom raised a smile.
On the other hand, Khalid was annoyed when he suddenly received a call from Otis.
"Khalid, the gang that was chasing you abroad, we got one of them."
Khalid raised his eyelids and asked, "Where is the man?"
"It's in my car, I just brought the guy over, I guess half an hour to Flowarhard Cidy, the guy's been floating at sea for over half a month, he's all a little out of his mind."
"I got it." Khalid paused and said, "Send the man to Archie's house, and I'll go over there with him."
"Good."
The call hung up and Khalid called Archie in high spirits.
Archie has a hard time opening up Swanstrom's mouth and talking to her about what's going on abroad when Khalid's phone call comes out of nowhere and interrupts their conversation. He simply cut off and was about to continue when the phone rang again, still from Khalid.
Archie was instantly chagrined.
Khalid is single, so why hold up his date?
He smiled apologetically at Swanstrom and said, "Excuse me, I'm going to take a call."
"It's okay."
Archie then got up and walked to the window to answer the phone, speaking in a bad tone, "Khalid, what the hell do you have to do now "Where are you?"
"I'm at the Italian restaurant across the street from my mall. what the hell do you want?"
"The people who are after us have been caught and are now on their way to your house, come here immediately!"
Archie froze, "Isn't this kind of thing always done at your Salalle Manson?"
"It's not very convenient on my end, so hurry up and get over here!" Khalid's tone was unmistakably anxious.
Archie hesitantly said, "But I'm still eating ......"
Before he could finish his sentence, Khalid had already hung up the phone.
"Damn it......," Archie cursed lowly.
He turned his head and saw Swanstrom waiting behind him with his bag in hand.
"You......"
Swanstrom interrupted Archie and said, "Go ahead and get busy, don't worry about me."
Archie hurriedly said, "Then I'll send you back first......"
"No need." Swanstrom declined, "I see a mall right across the street, I'll stop by and do a little shopping for some clothes."
Morgan had given her the task of picking herself up yesterday, and it was unlikely that Taylor would help her buy clothes now, so she simply went across the street for a little shopping before heading back. "Are you going to the mall across the street?"
"Hmm." Swanstrom nodded, only to see Archie give a meaningful smile and say, "Okay, well, take your time shopping and feel free to call me if you need anything."
"Good." Swanstrom had no idea what Archie was smiling about, and she responded politely, not taking Archie's words to heart.
She came out not even a person who likes to bother others.
The two went downstairs together and Archie was about to drop Swanstrom off at the mall before leaving when a black commercial vehicle pulled up in front of the two. The windows were pulled down to reveal Khalid's handsome, angular face.
