Chapter 44: Tell Her
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Keira’s identity wasn’t something she needed to keep a secret.
She had no intention of hiding it from her team.
As long as there wasn’t any widespread proclamation, it should save her from any unnecessary trouble.
So, when Jalen sensed something was amiss, she decided to just come clean.
Upon hearing her words, Jalen was startled.
He stared at Keira in disbelief.
Then he suddenly let out a chuckle. “You do have a sense of humor.”
Keira didn’t know what to say.
Jalen said, “I may not have met Dr. South, but I know for sure that to have academic talents like him, one must be at least in their forties. You can’t fool me.”
Keira twitched the corner of her lips. “No, really, I am Dr. South.”
“Heh, so you thought saying that would get rid of my suspicions?” Jalen looked her up and down, furrowing his eyebrows. “Don’t tell me you’re having an affair with Samuel.”
Keira said, “You have quite a vivid imagination!”
What in the world!
Jalen frowned, advising her, “Don’t do that kind of thing. It’ll humiliate us all. It’s not good. I really look down on cheaters. We’re all respectable people. If you don’t love your husband, just divorce and remarry…”
Just as he said those words, he suddenly felt a chill down his spine as if there was a murderous intent!
He turned around and found Lewis striding out, his deep eyes as cold as ancient ice, making Jalen feel as if he was chilled to the bone.
Jalen was even more puzzled. “Lewis, did your business deal not go well today?”
Lewis looked away. “You talk too much.”
Jalen was speechless.
Keira noticed that Jalen, the fearless heir, was most afraid of his cousin.
At this moment, a flashy yellow sports car pulled up in front of them. Samuel whistled at her. “Miss… Olsen, I just got this car. How about I give you a ride?”
He was eager to show off to his boss!
Thinking about Keira’s drivinq speed, he wanted to make her scream!
Keira caught the hint in his eyes and was about to refuse, but Lewis suddenly spoke up. “It’s out of your way.”
Samuel smiled. “Wherever she’s going, it’s on my way!”
Keira was a little speechless and subconsciously looked at Jalen. The suspicion in his eyes had deepened.
She didn’t notice that Lewis’s face had darkened.
Lewis glanced at her, his sharp eyebrows furrowing slightly as he advised softly, “After drinking, don’t get in a stranger’s car.”
Keira raised an eyebrow, looking at Samuel. “I think I’ll ride with Mr. Horton.”
“Alright.”
Samuel hung his head, seemingly less interested. “See you, then.”
“Vrooom…” The sports car roared to start and quickly disappeared out of sight.
It was then that Lewis’s black Bentley slowly rolled up.
The extended version of the Bentley felt much sturdier and safer than that thin sports car.
Tom ran over to open the door.
Lewis gestured for Keira to get in first, then he got in the car.
When Jalen was about to get in, he was stopped. “Don’t you have a car?” Jalen said, “I drank today.”
“I see,” Lewis responded indifferently. “Then you can take a cab.” Jalen was speechless.
What happened to “don’t get in a stranger’s car after drinking”?
The car door closed, and the Bentley mercilessly drove off, leaving Jalen standing there alone.
The car steadily drove down the road.
Outside the car window, kaleidoscopic neon lights poured into the compartment as Lewis’s gaze brushed over the woman sitting next to him.
Streetlights cast on her beautiful face, bathing it in a faint halo of light.
Lewis was momentarily lost before suddenly speaking up, “Miss Olsen, could you help me change my bandages?”
At these words, Keira paused. She slowly raised her head to look at him, seemingly taken aback, “Now?”
“Yes,” Lewis nodded. “If we wait until the hospital, my grandmother will be upset if she sees it.”
So that was it.
Keira breathed a quiet sigh of relief. “Okay.”
He undressed, turning his back toward her.
Keira turned on the ceiling light in the car and looked at him.
This was the second time she saw him half-naked. He was surprisingly muscular despite his slender appearance when he was dressed. He was radiating an exuberant sense of power…
She focused her attention on his wounds. The blister hadn’t reoccurred because he had a quick metabolism, typical for a young man.
She sighed in admiration before taking out gauze and ointment from the first aid box to change his bandage. After applying the ointment, she prepared to wrap the gauze around his wounds.
She knelt on the back seat and reached around Lewis’s body. She was just about to sit back up when…
Whoosh!
The car suddenly swerved, causing Keira to fall into Lewis. Her face landed on his shoulder.
Lewis soon steadied himself by pressing his hands on the seat.
But then he felt Keira’s arms around him. Her soft hands instinctively held onto his chest, instantly making him stiffen.
Then he felt her soft lips lightly touching his shoulder…
His breath hitched, feeling as if that area of his skin had become sensitive like a thousand ants crawling from his shoulder to his limbs…
Lewis froze, his mind blank for a moment.
Keira noticed his unusual reaction and thought she might’ve hurt his wounds. As soon as she steadied herself, she immediately pushed him away and asked,
“Mr. Horton, are you in pain?”
Her words finally helped Lewis to find his voice again. He said hoarsely, “I’m fine.”
Only then did Keira breathe a sigh of relief. She continued to wrap his wound with the gauze.
Lewis immediately put on his shirt and sat there with a straight face. He felt that the space inside the car was too narrow and the air was insufficient. It was extremely stuffy.
Thinking about those two hands and the remaining sensations on his shoulder, he loosened his tie.
As soon as the car arrived at the hospital and came to a halt, he abruptly opened the door and bolted out, heading upstairs without looking back.
Keira slowly got out of the car, watching him leave. She couldn’t resist asking Tom, “How much did he lose in the negotiation tonight to be so angry?” Tom rolled his eyes in his mind.
The acquisition tonight cost a hundred million less than the budget. His boss was very happy!
However, he didn’t say anything and just quickly followed Lewis.
Keira shook her head slightly, ready to go upstairs, when suddenly a shadow darted in front of her, grinning, “My dear niece!”
It was her uncle, Finley.
He glanced at the Bentley behind him, then turned back to watch Lewis with shifty eyes. “Mr. Horton must think very highly of you. Has he given you any money?”
Keira narrowed her eyes and couldn’t help but laugh. “Of course. Not only Mr. Horton but Old Mrs. Horton also gave me some.”
Finley’s eyes lit up instantly.
Keira then said, “By the way, put a price on the truth you mentioned last time.” Finley was taken aback.
He said sincerely, “I can only get a payoff from you for that truth, so you need to pay enough, and then I’ll reveal it.”
Keira was fiddling with her phone.
In no time, Finley’s phone buzzed with a notification of a bank transfer of thirty thousand dollars.
He was overjoyed.
Keira said, “That’s a deposit. I have another seventy thousand here. Tell me, and it’s all yours. Of course, I have to first determine whether your truth is worth this money.”
“Yes! It’s definitely worth it! It’s related to you!” Terrified that the deal would slip through his fingers, Finley said hastily, “I’ll tell you right now!”
