    Chapter 396 The Next Paine Quinn


    Hernan asked, “Am I usually very serious?”


    Property of N?)(velDr(a)ma.Org.


    “No. It’s just that your aura is particrly strong. When I get close, I feel oppressed… Mari then


    looked at Hernan and said, “But it’s pretty good now. You’re now at least a little more approachable…”


    Mari smiled and gestured with her fingers, looking very cute.


    “Looks like I still have a lot of room for improvement.” Herman’s voice softened.


    “No, no, no. You are already perfect. You are particrly self-disciplined and advanced. You can control


    your routine and mood very well. No matter what problems you encounter, you can calmly deal with


    them. Many people in the group admire you and think that you are perfect.”


    “Some people think that I am like a working machine, unreasonable, and boring.”


    “In my eyes, you are a modest gentleman who set an example. You are a superior who knows how to


    reward and punish clearly. And you dote on your sister a lot…”


    Is that so?


    Mari continued, “All in all, I think you’re a nice and gentle person.”


    Hernan had never been praised by a girl since he was a child. At school, the girls only had one word for


    him, which was “handsome”.


    After work, everyone only thought of Hernan as a strict person.


    As for Mari, she was the first person to praise Hernan from all sides.


    “You should get some rest. I’ll call you when we get there.” Herman’s gaze softened


    “Okay.”


    Although Mari also wanted to rest, there was still some pressure when her superior sat in front of


    her and looked at the documents…


    Mari closed her eyes, and the scene of thepetition appeared in her mind again. It was a pity


    that it was not fully finished, and the top was not changed…


    After a while, Mari suddenly opened her eyes and looked at Hernan, “Mr. Lusk, can you lend me a


    pen and paper?”


    Mari was now on a drip, and she was on someone else’s ne….


    “Okay, I will get them. Hernan got up and quickly found a pen and paper for Mari.


    A lot of inspiration came to Mari’s mind. She drew several styles of dresses on paper. They were


    also butterfly dresses, but the design of the upper body waspletely different.


    Hernan saw Mari seriously drawing, and the image of Mari holding an umbre and dancing on


    the stage today appeared in his mind again. Mari slowly walked out of the background of the small


    bridge and flowing water, her eyes looking into the distance…


    Mari had a retro hairstyle and a slender figure, wearing a red dress tailored to fit her. Mari had the


    unique nobility and elegance of women….


    “Mr. Lusk, what do you think? Mr. Lusk? Did you hear me?” Mari waved her hand in front of Hernan


    Only then did Hernane back to his senses.


    In just a few minutes, Mari had already drawn seven or eight designs.


    Herman took over the work. He did not expect that every dress had its uniqueness.


    “Are they okay?” Mari held her breath and waited for her boss’ evaluation.


    ‘Not bad,” Hernan nodded.


    ‘Really?”


    “You will be the next Paine Quinn.”


    Such a high evaluation?


    These words came from Paine’s brother…


    Mari was very surprised, but she was even more excited…


    “Under your leadership, thepany will get better and better.” Hernan returned the drawing to


    Mari.


    Mari did not know how she had taken these pages. She only knew that the affirmation from her


    superior made her inexplicably happy.


    After a while, Mari closed her eyes and fell asleep. Herman looked at the girl in front of him and


    remembered that time in the office, she stepped on her torn skirt and slipped again and again, falling


    into his arms again and again….


    At that time, Mari s face was as red as a ripe apple. She looked like she was about to cry. Especially


    in the end, the skirt fell apart. Although Hernan took off his suit jacket in time to help her out, Mari


    was still so shy that she rushed out of the door…


    Mari’s appearance was very cute.


    After an unknown period of time, Mari could feel a thin nket gently covering her body. It should be


    that Hernan was afraid that she would catch a cold and especially found a nket to cover her.


    Mari did not dare to open her eyes, but her breathing became tense.


    Then, Mari felt someone gently change her IV drip…


    Seemingly afraid of waking her up, Herman’s movements were very, very light…


    Sensing Herman’s gentleness and care, Mari felt warmed up.


    After an unknown period, the ne flew into the sky above America.


    When Mari woke up after a nap, she found Hernan standing next to the coffee machine making


    coffee.


    That slender and tall figure and that handsome face… were too eye-catching.


    “You’re awake?” Hernan noticed Mari’s gaze and made another cup for her. He ced it in front of


    her. “Try and see if it tastes good.”


    “You helped me remove the needle from the back of my hand?” Mari asked.


    “Yes.”


    Mari did not expect Hernan to be so good. He did not wake her up when he removed the needle.


    Herman’s movements should be very gentle, right?


    When Hernan pulled out the needle, did he give me a massage…


    Thinking of this, Mari couldn’t help but blush. She randomly picked up the coffee and took a sip. Her


    baby face instantly looked grim. The coffee was so bitter.


    Hernan was amused by her appearance. “You don’t like bitter things?”


    I can take the bitterness in life, but the coffee… Actually, I can have it, Mr. Lush!”


    “You don’t have to call me Mr. Lusk in private,” Hernan added three more cubes of sugar to her coffee,


    looking very approachable.


    “Then what should I call you? Hernan?”


    Yes. Mari would call Hernan as Paige did.


    “Is it still bitter?” Hernan looked at Mari again.


    Mari took a sip, not daring to say that it was still a bit bitter…


    Hernan added two more cubes for her. “Try it again.”


    “Mr. Lusk, ah no, Heman, you are so considerate…”


    Mari did not say anything, but Hernan could see that Mari could not have bitter coffee and added


    sugar for her twice….


    The ne soonnded in a private ce.


    “Herman, thank you for taking me back to the country…” After Mari got off the ne, she wanted to


    take a taxi home.


    “There are no taxis nearby.”


    “Then I’ll go out and take a taxi…”


    “Paige asked me to take you home. Get in the car,” Hernan said as he kept the door open.


    Finally, Mari got into Hernan’s car.


    Because a driver was driving in front, Mari and Hernan could only sit in the back seat…


    Mari and Hernan were a little close, and Mari could not help but hold her breath.


    To ease the atmosphere, Mari took out her phone and turned it on. She did not expect to receive a


    *** of missed calls and


    messages.


    The person who called her the most was her mother, Evelyn. Mari hurriedly called back.


    “***, what happened?”


    “Mari, have you returned to America? I watched the live broadcast. You fainted at thepetition site.


    Paige said that someone poisoned you and wanted to make you lose the championship… Are you


    okay?”


    When the phone call was not connected, Evelyn was very afraid that Mari was in danger. During the


    live broadcast, Paige said that this poison was very torturous and would hurt….


    “It’s okay. I have already arrived in Chicago.”


    “That’s good. That’s good… Don’t go to the office first… Come home.” Evelyn finally felt relieved.


    “Did something happen?”
