Chapter 985


    Esther felt like crying, but she refused to do so in front of this woman or in public.


    "Alright, don''t cry. You shouldn''te back here anymore. Mister James doesn''t want to see you,"


    the woman remarked, seeing Esther''s change in expression. She handed her a napkin, perhaps


    feeling sorry for her.


    Esther epted the napkin, wiped her tears, and let out a sigh. "I understand now."


    "Good. So don''t show up here again," the woman advised.


    "I mean I understand, but that''s exactly why I''ll keeping back!" Esther dered.


    The woman wanted to take back the napkin. "Why are you so stubborn? Can''t you see how he


    looked at you with disdain? Why would you still stick around?"


    "You''ve only seen him look disdainful, but have you considered that side of him only came out


    because I''m the only one who could make him so angry?" Esther argued. That meant she was


    important to him, or he wouldn''t have been so upset.


    "I give up. You''re like a persistent little dog," the woman said with an eye roll, but her tone wasn''t


    entirely negative. "You don''t look ugly, and your voice is nice. Why would you keep throwing


    yourself at him?"


    Esther shook her head and took a sip of water. "Because I know he loves me and can''t forget about


    me, and I still have a chance. Why shouldn''t I try?"


    "How can you think you have a chance?" The woman was done discussing this and turned her


    attention to a new arrival, prompting her to tell Esther, "You should leave now."


    Esther burst outughing. "Alright. What''s your name?"


    "Why? Are you nning to file aint?" The woman eyed her cautiously. She didn''t believe


    Esther would easily be her friend after their confrontation, even if she wasn''t wicked. They had


    almost started a fight, and she had even spilled water on her.


    "No. I think you''re quite adorable," Esther replied, thinking the woman was a bit arrogant but not


    malicious. If she wanted to keeping back to see James, perhaps this woman could help her.


    "I''m Summer Novak."


    Esther looked at her face and repeated, "Summer Novak. That''s a beautiful name."


    cing her hands on her hips, Summer proudly said, "Of course. My mom went through a lot of


    names before picking this one for me."


    Realizing that James''s visitor was about toe out, Summer urged Esther, "The visitor is here to


    see Mister James, and he''ll be out soon. Leave before he sees you, or else."


    "Or else what?" Esther paused.


    "Are you stupid? We''ll be in trouble!" Summer rolled her eyes and opened the door. "Just go. If you


    want to talk to him,e back tomorrow at 3 pm. He has an empty slot, but don''t tell him I told


    you!"


    Esther jumped in excitement and gave her a quick peck on her cheek. "Thanks, Summer. I''ll be


    back tomorrow!"Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org.
