Chapter 2264
"Hello, miss. May I borrow your phone to make a phone call?"
At the door of the women''s restroom, udia tried to borrow a phone from a slightly olderdy so that she could call Kendrix to keep him informed. However, thedy sized up udia with great caution. "Do you want me to lend you my phone? Are you sure?"
udia was stumped by her question shortly before she nodded gravely. "Yes, I want to borrow your phone to make a call. It will take only two minutes. Is that okay?"
"Don''t you have a phone yourself?" Thedy asked again, "What era are we in now? Do you not even have a phone? Who knows if you''re a liar? What if you take my phone and run away?"
udia was rendered speechless by thedy''s questions. She had encountered such a situation when she went on a police duty in the past. Thedy in front of her might have been scammed before, therefore she could be traumatized. Did she look like a robber? udia wondered so.
"Miss, I''m a policewoman," udia said.
"Oh,e on, the scammers these days always im that they''re police officers." Thedy still regarded udia as a scammer. She thought udia was going to scam her of her phone.
udia really had a hard time to justify herself.
She had no choice but to take out her police ID and handed it to thedy.
"This is my ID. Please have a look. I''m really a policewoman. It isn''t that I don''t have a phone, but I didn''t bring it with me. Something urgent came up and I need to borrow yours for a while."
Thedy took her police ID and surveyed it carefully.
She first observed udia''s face, then the photo on the ID. Afterward, she nodded.
Just when udia thought thedy had begun to trust her, thedy said unexpectedly, "Tsk tsk, the forging skills nowadays are amazing. It really resembles a real ID. Scammers like you really make a lot of effort nowadays, don''t you?"
udia had lost for words. She had no idea how thedy could have such wild imaginations.
"Girl, if you have the time to forge a police ID, why don''t you use it to get a proper job instead? Quiting out to trick people. In fact, a phone isn''t worth much dors either." "Miss, stop with that wild imagination." udia really could not put up with such a vignt citizen.
She wondered. "What''s wrong with you? Can''t you be a little more helpful? Why do you have to regard everyone as scammers?"
"Ha!" Thedy sneered, "I knew it. You''ve showed your true colors, haven''t you? There isn''t a police officer as impatient as you. You must be a scammer."
"Any police officer would have been maddened by you." udia opined, "I can''t believe you said that my official police ID is a prop used by a scammer. That''s crazy. Miss, how many times have you been cheated? It''s just a phone. To begin with, I''m not a scammer, but even if a scammer really defrauds you of it, how much can it be worth?"
"Look at you, you''re showing your true colors. Will a trained police office ever say something like this?" ring at udia, thedy was even more convinced of her own thoughts. "Polices aren''t as low-quality as you."
"Fine, I no longer need your phone. Just give me back my police ID." udia had lost all her patience. If she continued to waste time with thatdy, Sebastian would probably go and look for her.
By then, she could not make the call, and he might find out what she had been doing.
Wouldn''t that be embarrassing?
To her consternation, thedy refused to return her police ID to her.
She scowled at udia and said, "You''re trying to swindle me out of my phone with a fake ID. I want to call the police and tell them about your behavior so that you scammers can find nowhere to hide."
udia felt so wronged.
At the same time, she also found it very absurd. Thatdy was indeed a one-in-a-million weirdo.
Logically speaking, being on guard against strangers would do her no harm. It was just that if thedy called the police, wouldn''t udia be mortified?
Wasn''t it a joke to be involved in such a snafu when she first came to work in Northern City?
udia tried her best to be patient. She said, "Miss, I''m really a policewoman. Look at this police ID, even the stamping is real. The counterfeit one can''t forge a detailed feature like this. It''s fine by me if you don''t want to lend me your phone, but won''t it be horrible of you to make such an allegation against me for no reason?"
"Humph, quit lying." The woman sneered and replied, "You''re a scammer, and I ought to get rid of scammers. Otherwise, I will fail myself as a human being."
Thedy stood on the moral high ground and chastized udia.
udia was impressed by her imagination. She sighed and said, "Miss, I''m really a policewoman. How many times do I have to exin for you to understand it?"
"It won''t work no matter how many times you repeat it. You might as well exin it in the police station," said thedy, who was about to call the police.
udia sped the woman''s wrist. "Miss, don''t call the police."
"Let go of me." Being grabbed, thedy snarled right away, "A robbery! Help, there''s a female robber over here!"
Her shout attracted the attention of others instantly.
udia was shocked and immediately let go of the woman''s wrist. She quickly raised her hand and said, "Okay, okay, don''t yell. There''s no need to overreact. I''m truly not robbing you."
"Humph, we can discusster when the policee. If you''re really a policewoman, then make it clear to your colleagues."
Thedy insisted on calling the police.
udia was at a loss for words, feeling the urge to roll her eyes at thedy.
All that had been witnessed by Sebastian since long ago. When he saw how abashed udia was, he could not help tittering.
It was within his expectation since the beginning.
She was indeed there to borrow a phone.
Also, shended herself in hot water.
With a slight smile, Sebastian walked over.
udia had not seen him. She was busy arguing with thedy.
"Miss, what do I need to do for you to let me off?"
udia tried to be as subservient as she could so that the woman would quickly let her go. If she continued to make a fuss, udia would be in real trouble.
"Don''t even think about it. I''ll show
no mercy to scammers like you." Thedy sneered, "You could have pretended to be anyone else but a policewoman. I''ve to help removing the scums of the earth like you."
"Miss, fine, I admit that I''m not a policewoman, but a scammer. Please let me go. I won''t do this anymore. Is that okay?" udia speak in a low voice as she had no choice but to humor thedy.
"Humph, you''ve admitted it, right? I knew you''re a scammer." Hearing that udia had conceded it, thedy wanted to push it. "You female scammer, I must send you to the police station today, or else I can''t avenge myself." Thedy became more persistent. udia was speechless again. "Miss, how many times have you been cheated by scammers? Why do you hate them so much?" "This is none of your business." Thedy opined coldly, "I''ve met a lot of scammers in my life. This time, you''re doomed that you met me." "I''m really not a scammer." udia exined, with a very sincere tone. She felt that she was on the brink of losing her patience totally.
It seemed that she had to be careful
when she borrow a phone or other things in the future. She should not simply ask such a favor of a
stranger. Otherwise, she mightà
herself in deep water, just like how she was unable to defend herself at the moment.
"Why are you behaving in such a capricious way? You first remarked that you''re a policewoman instead of a scammer, then imed that you''re actually a scammer, and now you say that you aren''t a scammer. Well, tell me who you really are."
The woman finished her words in one breath as if she was uttering a tongue twister.
When udia was about to reply something, but she sensed a different aura behind her suddenly, which caused her back to be stiffened at once.
She turned her head to take a look subconsciously. As a result, she got the fright of her life. What followed was her dazed gaze on Sebastian.
D*mn it.
She wondered when he appeared behind her, and if he had heard all the conversation between thedy and her.
Sebastian darted a nce at udia and met her eyes. Perceiving the dumbfounded expression of hers, he found it funny.
All of his previous grievances had dissipated at that moment, and he felt a little better.
He looked down at udia without speaking a word for a long time.
Being seen, udia lowered her head. Her thick eyshes were fluttering and her face had gone crimson.
She blushed in embarrassment.
The feelings of wrath, hatred and helplessness overwhelmed her and made her feel impotent.
She had been filled with such feelings all over.
He couldughed at her to his heart''s content.Property ? of N?velDrama.Org.
Wasn''t that what he desired to see? In udia''s eyes, she would wind up in such a state only because of him.
"Lad, take a look at this woman for me. She''s a scammer. Check on this fake police ID she used to fool me," spoke thedy, who pulled Sebastian over immediately when she saw his stunning face.
udia was annoyed. She thought to herself, "I''m screwed. I''m going to lose facepletely."
She could only look up at Sebastian, hoping that he could speak up for her rather than make the situation worse.
To her dismay, when he received her meaningful gaze, he grinned, as though he was gloating over her misfortune.
udia fixed her eyes on him, hoping earnestly that he would not add insult to injury.
However, she was disappointed.
Out of the blue, Sebastian spoke to thedy, "Madam, the woman in front of you is indeed a scammer."
D*mn it.
He actually said that she was a scammer.
That was like kicking her when she was already down. He wasn''t genuine at all.
To udia, Sebastian was more like a scammer there since he calumniated her when he knew that she was a policewoman. He was despicable.
She shot daggers at him.
Subsequently, she cast an aggrieved look at thedy before she was at a lost for words again.
It seemed that thedy was just like her, always fangirling over handsome men.
The real scammer was Sebastian, okay? udia thought so.
