Chapter 583


    Her colleagues appeared out of nowhere, nosing up to see what had happened. They leaned against


    her desk and asked, “Elizabeth, was that Derek making derations of love to you downstairs just


    then?”


    “That’s weird. I thought Derek was into Natalie! Howe he’s suddenly all over you?”


    “Is he trying to get both of you at once?”


    “Why don’t you give Derek a chance? He’s young and good looking. It’d be alright, even just for a little


    while!”

    Everyone in the room was specting about Elizabeth’s rtionship with Derek when they saw the


    bouquet of flowers on her table. As Elizabeth didn’t like people gossiping about her, she threw the


    bouquet into the trash can beside her emotionlessly. She then looked at her colleagues and said coldly,


    “I have nothing to do with Derek. He was just joking when we were downstairs just now.”


    “Of course. Derek isn’t even your type. There’s no way you’d be interested in someone like him.”


    “That’s right. It’s impossible for Elizabeth and Derek to be together. Stop making fun of them,” said


    another. “But the man in ck talking to Elizabeth downstairs was so tall and handsome. Elizabeth,


    could you give me his phone number? I think that he would have a better character than Derek,” said


    one of her extroverted colleagues.


    After thatment, many other female colleagues started bugging Elizabeth with questions about


    Frank. “Does he have a girlfriend? What does he do?”


    Elizabeth was speechless by their boldness. She was stunned for a moment and under the repeated


    questioning by her colleagues, she blurted out subconsciously, “Frank has a girlfriend.”


    The office suddenly became quiet.


    The extroverted colleague looked disappointed and continued asking, “Are you Frank’s girlfriend? I saw


    him pick you up after work recently.”


    Elizabeth regretted her words immediately. Why did she say that Frank had a girlfriend? Why was she


    annoyed when there were so many girls interested in him?


    “I’ll give you the details next time. I have something urgent to deal with now and I have to go. Bye,”


    Elizabeth said hurriedly and escaped from the office. She ran downstairs nervously with her bag and


    began cursing under her breath. Her mood worsened.


    When she got out of the building, she saw that Frank was nowhere to be found.


    “What are you looking for?”


    All of a sudden, she heard a familiar voice call out to her. She spun around and found Frank standing in


    front of her, holding a bunch of purple lcs in his hand.


    It turned out, Frank had gone to buy some flowers! But why? Were they for her? Elizabeth felt her heart


    race.


    Although the bouquet was tied up simply with a blue ribbon, the flowers looked wonderful as they were


    full of vitality. The purple and blue flowers were also clustered beautifully together. Elizabeth was not


    expecting lcs from Frank as the lc season was about to end soon. She didn’t expect him to find


    any, let alone buy her a bouquet.


    “For you,” Frank said gently as he handed her the lcs. He looked at Elizabeth for a moment and


    realized that she might be confused by his actions. He didn’t want her to shy away, so he averted his


    eyes and hurriedly came up with an excuse, “There was an olddy selling flowers nearby. The


    weather’s so cold now and I didn’t want to see her freeze. So I just bought thest one to help her


    knock off early.”


    Elizabeth came to her senses upon realizing that the lcs were just a kind gesture from Frank. She


    took the bouquet of flowers and thanked him. She then turned to look at the old woman’s staggering


    back and smiled. “Didn’t you say that it’s almost time for my appointment with my therapist?”


    The atmosphere between the two gradually eased. Elizabeth had even begun to get used to Frank’s


    thoughtfulness. He was always calm and thoughtful, and she found it difficult to be angry at him. Even if


    they did quarrel, they could always make up quickly after the argument.


    The clinic was not far from W Marks Studio, and they arrived just in time for the appointment.


    “You two are so punctual,” weed Salome Wilson as Frank and Elizabeth entered the clinic. She


    was very impressed by their punctuality


    Salome was Elizabeth’s therapist and a ssmate of Frank’s when they were in med school. Both


    Salome and Frank had graduated with flying colors.


    “Well, you do charge by the minute. We wouldn’t dare to bete,” Frank joked. “I’ll wait for you outside,”


    he said as he turned to Elizabeth and left her in Salome’s care.


    Salome nodded and showed Elizabeth into the consultation room.


    After forty minutes of consultation, Salome smiled and congratted Elizabeth, “Your recovery is going


    very smoothly. In fact, you don’t need toe here in person anymore if you’re busy in the future. You


    can make an appointment for an online consultation instead.”


    Elizabeth looked out of the door subconsciously and felt much more rxed. She faced Salome again


    and thanked her, “Thank you, Dr. Wilson. I felt confident about your treatment because you’ve always


    been so encouraging. That must also be why I can recover so soon.”


    “It’s not a big deal. I’m just doing my job,”ughed Salome as she showed Elizabeth out of the


    consultation room.


    Frank was still waiting outside the room when they came out. Salome turned to him and said with a


    smile, “Your patient is recovering well. There’s no need for her to make a trip down to my clinic


    anymore as we can just move the consultation online. Also, please stop asking me about her condition


    in the middle of the night. You’re wasting my precious sleeping time.”


    “Stop talking nonsense,” grumbled Frank. He frowned and continued, “You are an adult now. You


    should know that it’s wrong to spout nonsense.”


    It was obvious that Frank treated Salome differently from the others. Elizabeth could feel there was a


    form of tacit understanding between them.


    Elizabeth felt her heart sink all of a sudden. She looked at Salome and tried to keep her voice as


    natural as possible, “May I know where to settle the bill?”


    Salome grinned and patted Frank on the shoulder. “You’re Frank’s patient. With our rtionship, you


    don’t have to pay,” she said yfully.


    Elizabeth was stunned by her reply. She turned and looked stiffly at Frank. What exactly was the


    rtionship between the two of them?


    Elizabeth was feeling a bit downcast.


    She went to the bathroom and opened the tap. Only- after sshing water on her face several times


    did she graduallye to her senses. She pulled out a few tissues to wipe her face before slowly


    walking out.


    Elizabeth found Frank and Salome still talking in the hall.


    Frank was tall, with a mature aura. He was standing next to the elegant Salome. Together, the two of


    them made a perfect picture.


    Frank handed a cup of coffee to Salome, and she took it with ease. Bringing the cup to her lips, she


    took a small sip and nced at Frank’s tie. иσν??σz She made the simple gesture so elegant.


    Salome then stretched out her slender fingers and adjusted the crooked tie for Frank. “This is from this


    season’s Burberry. Your taste has really changed, it seems.”
