Chapter 55 stand out and protect


    Noticing that she didn''t say a word, Darren drew near to the bed and saw Amanda''s crying face. He


    shook his head and said, "Stop crying. You''ll be embarrassed if your make-up is ruined."


    "It''s none of your business." Amanda tilted her body to one side, but her shoulders were held tight by


    Darren. She turned her face to the other side and didn''t look at Darren. A trace of helplessness shed


    through Darren''s eyes. He asked, "Did I say anything wrong? You used to be glib, but why are you so


    timid now?"


    "What do you want me to do? To attend a party and fight by the way?" Enraged by his remarks,


    Amanda sat up and said.


    "See, I don''t even dare to mess with you, you must scare Shirley to cry." Said Darren.


    His words made Amanda turned tears into smiles. Covering her face, she murmured, "You are really..."

    "What is it?" He sat by the bed and asked with a serious face.


    "Thank you." She lowered her head and whispered, "I didn''t expect you to help me."


    "Why didn''t I help you?" He asked.


    Amanda replied, "Because she is Mrs. Colleen."


    "As you know, she''s an old fogey. Why should I be afraid of her?" Said Darren.


    "You''re so mean." She wasn''t supposed tough at this time. But she didn''t notice that Darren was so


    funny when she heard him telling jokes.


    Darren raised his hands and put them on her shoulder. He said seriously, "Amanda, from now on, you


    have to be more aware of yourself. If anybody dares to bully you when you are out of An family, you


    have to pay a huge back by ten times or a hundred times. If you have any problem, just let theme


    to me."


    Looking at him, Amanda was confused and mumbled, "Why does it sound like a story of the


    underworld?"


    "What are you thinking about?" It was hard for Darren to understand. He held Amanda''s face and


    looked at the five fingerprints on it. It was red and hot, and Mrs. Colleen didn''t wear any decorations,


    nor did her nails hurt her face.


    He took an ice bag and covered her face with it. The ice bag made Amanda''s hot face feel better for


    the time being. Sophie copies the video and gave it to Darren.


    But Amanda grabbed him and asked uneasily, "Do you have to take it? I''m fine already. Compared to


    me, she must have been seriously injured."


    "Are you so sure that it wasn''t your fault?" Said Darren.


    "Of course not me. I''m a reasonable person." Amanda immediately exined.


    "You don''t look like one though." said Darren.


    Amanda rolled her eyes on him, "Now that I''m such an unreasonable person, you shouldn''t havee


    here to bother me. Otherwise, you will only get yourself in trouble? Are you an idiot?"


    "You can be unreasonable as you want. Just let them to reason with me." said Darren with a smile.


    Amanda realized this not that simple, she didn''t say anything else.


    After the ribbon cutting ceremony, Darren carried Amanda out of the resort with her in his arms. Many


    reporters were taking pictures of them. With a little embarrassment, Amanda exined, "Bro, it was my


    face getting hurt, not my legs. You don''t have to hold me like this all the time."


    Darren''s hands on her waist were loosed suddenly, which scared Amanda. She put her hands around


    his neck and got even closer to him. Amanda said in a low voice, "You are so bad, Darren."


    Darren lowered his head and whispered in her ear, like a tender whisperer between lovers, "We have


    offended Mrs. Colleen, so we have to pretend to be intimate in front of the media. Even if we suffer


    losses when reasoning, I am a man, so it is reasonable for me to protect my lover."


    Amanda nodded in agreement. She leaned against Darren''s chest, feeling warm. She never thought


    that Darren would appear one day to protect her. All this was like a dream.


    "These are the reports you need for the meeting." Gregorio handed over the reports. He noticed that


    the palm print on Amanda''s face had almost disappeared but was still a little red. He handed a bottle to


    her and said, "Apply this on your face. It will get better."


    Amanda was a little surprised. His emotionless face caught her attention. "Thank you." she said with a


    smile.


    Seeing the surprised look on Amanda''s face, Gregorio thought she was a fool.


    Although she was the daughter-inw of An family, she was pped in the face. Whether it was


    because An family was too low-key, or because Amanda was too troublesome. Either way, An family


    had to make a scene.


    Mrs. Amanda went out to a ribbon cutting ceremony with Mr. Darren, and she returned with a palm


    print. She was talking tenderly and weakly in thepany, which made some people feel interested


    and have a good time.


    Soon, several versions of the story had been spread out in thepany at the same time. Some


    people even spiced up to it. It was roughly like, Amanda pushed Shirley, Shirley''s mother who was


    Lionel''s aunt Mrs. Colleen, pped Amanda on her face. And Mrs. Colleen also took a video and would


    punish Amanda in the future.


    "I thought Mrs. Amanda was so capable. But it turns out that she can only be tough when she''s with us.


    For her, powerful figure is still difficult to deal with." Nancy said with a sneer.


    "Yes, and it happened outside. It would be so humiliating. Paper can''t wrap fire. She must be so upset


    now." There were many people in thepany taking pleasure in other''s misfortune.


    Amanda didn''t know how bitter other people''s imagination were. Since Darren said that he would take


    care of the issue, she would leave everything behind.


    When Gregorio went out to deliver files, he overheard the gossip. Someone went to him and asked with


    a smile, "Gregorio, can you tell us what happened?"


    Gregorio replied coldly, "I don''t talk about personal affairs during working hours."


    The busybodies left after being snubbed, but they didn''t dare to say anything more. After all, Sophie


    was Darren''s assistant, and Gregorio was working for Nichs. Both of them were not easy to deal


    with.


    When Sophie heard what they said and heard other people''s excited guesses, she felt a little sad and a


    sneer appeared on her face. Now that Mr. Darren''s intentions to Mrs. Amanda had been clearly


    revealed, how could these people still be so arrogant.


    When Sophie thought of Darren defending Amanda, there was a trace of helplessness and sadness in


    her heart. It was not a wise move. She had been working with Darren for several years, and even for


    the sake of Rose, he would never do such a thing. But was it because Amanda was Mrs. An?


    The crowd in thepany was anxious. But Amanda didn''t have a feeling for it. She still worked as


    usual. Seeing everyone was out of spirit, Amanda lifted her head and called, "Gregorio."


    Gregorio stopped typing and looked up at her.


    "Do you know what''s going on in thepany this afternoon?" Amanda asked, spinning the pen in her


    hand.


    Gregorio shook his head.


    Amanda frowned and said, "That''s weird. I feel like the other people are in low spirits. Didn''t they get


    their bonus, or did Darren scold them again?"


    ''They are feeling pity for you.'' Gregorio said in silence.
