Filed to story: The Regretful Billionaire: An Unpredicted Reunion
By the end of dinner that day, she was forced to add a large number of new contacts to her phone.
Good Relationship
After dinner was over, Danika walked out of the restaurant and took a deep breath.she felt much more relaxed after taking in some fresh air.She was still uncomfortable with social settings like these.
Burying her head in surgery or scientific research was more suitable for her.
As she was thinking about that, Derrick walked to her side without her noticing.He seemed to have something to say to her but found it difficult to find the words.
“Miss Zellweger.”
Danika graduated earlier than him, so she was his senior.He felt awkward about that fact.
On the other hand, Danika wasn’t bothered about things like that.She turned to look at him.
“What do you need?”
“Nothing, really.”
Derrick smiled awkwardly, not daring to look into Danika’s eyes.
“I haven’t come to Parrington for several years, and I feel that this place has changed a lot.I’m no longer familiar with this city.”
Danika thought to herself, “So?”
“Do you have time tomorrow? Can you show me around Parrington?”
In the end, he endured his embarrassment and asked her out.He’d been busy working over the years, so he’d always been single.
Because of his own high requirements for his other half, he felt that the people introduced by his family were not worthy of him.
Now that he had met such an outstanding person, he didn’t want to miss his chance with her.He felt that although he wasn’t as good as Danika, he was still not too shab>y.
After all, he worked in Bardoff Hospital, which was definitely better than Danika working in Parrington Hospital.
At that moment, he didn’t understand that Danika chose to work in Parrington Hospital because it was her own choice and not because she could only work there.
Danika responded apologetically, “sorry, I’m really busy.There are a lot of surgeries to be done in the hospital.I don’t think I have the time to accompany you.But you can ask the other alumni.They should also be here in Parrington; you can join them.”
She rejected his invitation, so Derrick left ic at that.
“Okay, that is understandable.I’ll contact you again in a few more days.”
Two honks sounded from not far away.
Danika instinctively looked over and saw Eustace getting down from his car.
Obviously, he’d been waiting there for a long time.
Danika didn’t expect: he would appear.
After returning to her senses, she said, “I have to go.See you.”
“See you.”
Derrick quickly nodded and watched Danika walk toward Eustace.
As the two got in the car and left his sight, Derrick felt a certain emotion in his heart he couldn’t quite put h’s finger on.He just Imew that it didn’t feel too good.
After so many years, he thought he had finally met someone who was on par with him and deserved his companionship.
Alas, she already had a Doyfriend, or perhaps he could be her husband.
With a sign, he decided that he needed to ask around to find out more.
Eustace didn’t say a word as he drove.He was obviously not :n a good mood.
Danika knew why he was angry.She discreetly covered her mouth and smiled, not intending to explain anything.She wanted to see how long Eustace could hold it in.
It turned out that Eustace couldn’t hold back for long.
“Who was that person just now?” he asked.
Although he tried to pretend to be casual, his tone exposed his actual mood.
Danika smiled and leaned against the car window to look at Eustace.
“Well, he was a fellow graduate who participated in the university’s anniversary celebration like me.”
“I see,” Eustace answered sternly.
His mood soured further.
“You guys have a good relationship?” he asked.
It would be a sleepless night if he didn’t get a clear answer.Danika suppressed her laughter.
“I would say we’re on okay terms.I just met him today.”
Eustace was inexplicably relieved, but he still said, “I don’t think he looks like he’d just met you.”
Men knew men best, so Eustace could tell what Derrick was up to.
I Just Want Your Life
Danika chuckled and didn’t take it seriously.Who knows? I’m not interested in him anyway.She wasn’t joking; she really wasn’t interested in Derrick.
Hence, she didn’t care about what he was up to.It had nothing to do with her as far as she was concerned.
Upon hearing Danika’s words, Eustace inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief once more.It was good that she wasn’t interested in him.He was dreading that Danika might somehow be interested.
Eustace drove at a consistent speed.
Soon, they arrived at the entrance of Perry Residence.
After Danika got out of the car in the underground parking lot, she noticed that Eustace was still inside and hadn’t gotten out yet.She asked, ‘Do you have something else to do?”
“Yeah.There’s still some work at the company,” Eustace replied.
“Since you had something to do, you didn’t have to come and pick me up.It was troublesome for you to make that extra trip.”
Danika felt a little guilty.She thought Eustace had come to pick her up after finishing his work.
Eustace had a smile on his face as he said to her, “It’s no trouble at all.The time spent with you is the most relaxing time in my day.I wish I could be with you every day.”
Although it sounded cheesy, Eustace meant every word he said.Danika’s cheeks became slightly flushed.She didn’t expect him to be so candid and glared at him exasperatedly.
“Who wants to be with you every day? Just because you have the time for that doesn’t mean it’s the same for me.”
Besides, if she remembered correctly, she hadn’t forgiven this man yet, right? Eustace didn’t argue with her.
As long as Danika understood his feelings, that was enough.
“Go back quickly.I’ll leave now.”
Eustace waved at her and drove away.
Danika watched his car disappear and then turned to enter the elevator, pressing the button for her floor.
While waiting for the elevator, Danika kept thinking about her relationship with Eustace.
Sometimes, she couldn’t figure out her own feelings toward him.
If she said she didn’t like him, it wasn’t convincing as she didn’t really mind when he got closer to her, and she even looked forward to it.
But if she said she liked him, she couldn’t get over the fact that he had deceived her before.She sighed, unable to figure it out.
Therefore, she decided to just let it be and see how it played out.
As she was thinking about that, footsteps approached from behind.
Someone stood beside her, seemingly also waiting for the elevator.
Danika turned her head to look, thinking it was just a neighbor from the same residential building.
However, as soon as she saw the person, her hair stood on end, and she quickly moved aside by several steps.
“Hey, little girl.What a coincidence.We meet again.”
The woman smiled at her, seemingly harmless.
Danika didn’t think the same.
Although the woman didn’t kill her when they last met in Bardoff City, she knew she wasn’t a match for her.
If this woman wanted to kill her now, Danika might not be able to put up a fight.
Danika looked at her coldly, not intending to exchange pleasantries with her.
