Chapter 18 Nominal Girlfriend


    The doctor said that he had never seen a girl so fearless of pain.


    When he was using the tweezers and the alcohol to rub her wound, she was motionless, as if she was


    hit on a acupoint. She didn''t even groan.


    Only when the ss was pulled out, she trembled slightly, which indicated that the patient he treated


    still had painful nerves.


    All the wounds were disinfected and applied medicine. Joan insisted on not staying in the hospital for


    observation. Therefore, Shelly carefully put her arms in her sleeves to avoid hurting her back.


    "Joan, aren''t you afraid of pain?"


    Of course she was afraid. She still remembered the time when her father took her to take a vine. At


    that time, she was like a princess. Although her stepmother didn''t care about her but still tried her best


    to y a good mother in front of her father, she never embarrassed her.


    All had changed when her father died of an illness.


    She buttoned herself up calmly and said, "I was afraid before, I''m afraid of nothing after I stayed in


    prison."


    "You had been in prison?" She asked in disbelief, "Why?"


    Patting on Shelly''s head, she said softly, "I was framed by my husband and was sent to prison by him


    in person. So, Shelly, there are more bad people in the society than good people. Don''t be too naive.


    You must protect yourself."


    She quickly clicked on the Shelly''s phone and said, "This is my phone number. You can call me if you


    need anything."


    Joan wasn''t used to be taken care of by others. So she pushed away Shelly''s arms and tried to stand


    up against the pain. After she was cut off from all the routes, there was only one ce she could go.


    She turned around and said to Shelly, "I don''t have any money now. I want to borrow 100 in addition to


    the medical fee."


    Without a word, Shelly took out two notes from her backpack and told Joan not to return the money.


    "Shelly, your good deeds will be returned."


    She stood in front of the office building for a long time. If she needed to ask for help, she would rather


    go to beg Darren rather than Scott.


    What''s more, with Jean she and Scott couldn''tmunicate well.


    His assistant, Selina Zhang, asked her to wait a little longer in the reception room. She just said okay


    carelessly. She kept reminding herself that she came to beg him, and if he wanted her to wait, she had


    to wait.


    After a long while, the door of the reception room opened with a click. She looked up and stared at the


    man in aplicated look. He wore a simple ck suit, but he looked more graceful than the pricy


    ck suit.


    He gestured with his hand to make her sit down, and then he sat down on the main seat.


    "You have five minutes." He was cold and arrogant. If it had been in the past, she would have run away.


    But today, she had murmured it in her heart for several times


    "I am looking for a job. He is my interviewer."


    He had been staring at her with a mysterious smile since he entered the room. He had only given her


    five minutes.


    "I, I decide to ept your proposal to work in yourpany."


    Darren still kept silent and looked at her silently. He saw her fingers have dug out the leather on the


    chair armrest. Her face was flushed out of embarrassment. Then she opened her mouth slowly.


    "Miss Gu, you finally think it through? But it''s a pity that ourpany always pays attention to


    efficiency. We are squeezed out of time and we don''t have any vacant position to wait for you. "


    Darren didn''t know if it was because of his fierce tone that her self-esteem was affected. She stood up


    and prepared to run away.


    "But I''m prepared to listen. If I provide you with a position you''re satisfied with, what can you repay


    me?"


    There was a water pen on the table, and he skillfully held the pen between his fingers and flipped it. He


    looked at Joan with great interest.


    It seemed that he had never seen this woman blush so nervous and unable to speak, except that day


    when she found herself naked on his bed.


    Interesting. He smiled. She seemed to have put on a heavy makeup today, with a very thickyer of


    foundation. But he did not know why, he felt that the red on her face seemed to be somewhat


    inappropriate, but he could not tell why.


    "There are three minutes left, Miss Gu." He adjusted his crossed legs and said, "I''m going to have a


    meeting in three minutes. You can stay here for tea or a cup of coffee. If I''m free again, it may be in the


    middle of the night."


    She squeezed out a few words between her teeth with great difficulty, "I can promise you anything


    except to marry you."


    "As if Ipelled you to do something terrible." Darren was unhappy to hear that she took their


    marriage as an absolutely forbidden thing.

    Maybe he was not as good as Scott?


    Joan took a deep breath and said, "I can be your nominal girlfriend as an excuse for you but not a


    substantial girlfriend. I mean..." She bit her lower lip, "I mean, I won''t perform my duty as Mrs. Lu."


    He slowly pressed down thest mouthful of tea and gently put the cup back on the table. Three


    minutes had passed, and he stood up and pushed the door open and left. When Joan was about to call


    him back, she heard him walk smoothly and ordered Selina to follow behind.


    Joan heard every word clearly.


    "Give a suitable job for her."


    His words warmed Joan''s heart. She took a few steps forward to thank him in a louder voice. While


    walking, she identally touched her wound that had been bandaged on her back.


    "Ouch!" Joan gasped in astonishment. She closed her eyes and held the wall to resist the pain of the


    wound with her long eyshes trembling like butterfly''s wings.


    When she felt painful, she could not help but close her eyes and think about something else. This was


    what one of her friends in prison told her when she was beaten. She applied medicine to Joan. Joan


    had tried it and it worked.


    The sound of the footsteps from the other end of the hallway seemed to approach her again. She tried


    hard to open her eyes as if nothing had happened. She smiled when she saw Darrene back again.


    "Are you hurt?" His expression was not as cold as before. It could be Joan''s illusion that there was


    worry in his eyes.
