Chapter 114 Insincere Apology
Chapter 114 Insincere Apology
"I-I-I..."Holly stuttered for a long time but couldn''t say anything at all.
Chris frowned, "Since you can''t figure out what happened then apologize to Rantia."
How could Holly ept that?!
Ranita always gave in to Holly, so how could she apologize to her now? Holly''s eyes grew even
redder as she stared at Ranita in shock. "You want me to apologize to her?"
"I''m not apologizing to her! She was clearly teasing me just now, and I..."
Chris furrowed his brow even more. "Holly, your attitude is terrible for someone who did something
wrong! I''ll talk to Brendon about it..."
At the mention of Brendon, Holly immediately surrendered. "Chris, please don''t tell my brother!" She
gritted her teeth and mumbled something unclear while ring at Ranita. "Fine, I''ll apologize!"
"Holly! Apologize sincerely!" Chris demanded.
Holly was about ready to explode with anger but was caught by Chris''s words. Her face had already
been embarrassed enough; now she was being forced into apologizing to Ranita? It felt like a knife
stabbing directly into her heart.
"I''m sorry, Ranita. I was too impulsive just now," Holly said insincerely.

Ranita didn''t feel any sincerity from Holly''s apology; she believed that as soon as they were out of
Chris''s sight, Holly would pounce on her like a wolf.
But it still felt good!
Without responding to Holly''s apology, Ranita turned towards Chris and said, "I''m feeling a bit tired.
I think I''ll go rest."
"I''ll walk you out since we''re parked in the same lot," Chris offered before following after Ranita into
the elevator. Once inside he spoke again, "Holly has been spoiled rotten and has a quick temper
with harsh words sometimes! Don''t let it slide if she ever bullies you – tell me instead so that I can
help you vent your frustrations."
"Thank you very much Mr. Webster," replied an appreciative Ranita who knew both Steve and him
were friends with Brendon but never looked down on or mistreated her because of it.
"Don''t mention it – after all there are still projects where we need your help." He paused for a
moment before asking, "Do you need me drive you home or can you drive yourself?"
"I haven''t had any alcohol tonight so driving myself won''t be an issue," replied Rantia before
remembering their ns for meeting up over the weekend, "What time should we meet tomorrow?"
"Today''s been tiring so let''s meet at 4 pm," suggested Chris.
"Isn''t that toote? How about 2:30 pm?" asked Rantia as they walked towards the elevator doors.
Suddenly though, Chris reached out and pulled Rantia back slightly while whispering lowly near ear,
"Be careful!" causing Rantia bump against his shoulder while catching whiff of faint soap scent.
"Thank you! Lately, I''ve just been feeling restless all the time!" blushed Rantia sheepishly. The fire
door had a low threshold, but luckily, Chris gave her a helping hand; otherwise, she might have
tripped.
"Be careful, the floor here is uneven. You might trip and fall," Chris paused for a moment before
chuckling lightly. "You might even cry like a baby!"
"I won''t cry! I''m not a child!" Ranitaughed, her dark eyes sparkling with joy as her fair face lit up.
Ranita was a simple woman who found happiness in the little things. Chris couldn''t help but think
that she was both charming and adorable.
"Hehe... I was just joking with you," Chris didn''t finish his sentence as he noticed Ranita suddenly
stop walking. He followed her gaze and saw Brendon and Shannon.
Chris pursed his lips slightly.
"It''s Brendon and Shannon," Chris let go of Ranita''s hand to greet them.
"You guys haven''t left yet?"
Brendon gave Ranita a cold nce before speaking in an icy tone, "Shannon said she wanted to
have drinks with you guys at the pier aftering back since you didn''t get to chat earlier."
