Requiem of a Broken Heart

Chapter 1036:

Feeling defeated, Shelly was seized by two attendants, one on each side. But suddenly, she shook them off and exclaimed, “Let me go! I can leave on my own!”

She shot Yvonne a frosty smile. “Don’t get too cocky, Yvonne. Your day will come!”

With that, she hurried away, humiliated.

Yvonne observed Shelly disappearing and turned gratefully to Ethan. “Thanks, Mr. Marsh.”

“What about me, gorgeous?” The restaurant owner leaned back against the railing, speaking in an easygoing manner.

“Okay, no need for such formality. This is my friend, Saul Delgado,” Ethan said with a grin.

Yvonne stepped closer, smiling. “Mr. Delgado, thank you. I’m Yvonne, and this is my coworker, Margie.”

“So, you’re Yvonne!” Saul exclaimed, then shot Ethan a knowing glance.

Yvonne found his response strange but didn’t dwell on it.

“All right. You both have had enough for one day. Take the rest of the day off and get some rest,” Ethan said, looking at Yvonne and Margie.

“Thanks, Mr. Marsh!” Yvonne and Margie said together.

That was when Yvonne recalled something important. She grabbed Margie’s hand. “How’s your hand? Is it hurting badly?”

Margie presented her hand. “It’s not too bad. I’ll just apply some burn cream when we get back. Don’t worry.”

Noticing that Margie’s wound wasn’t severe, Yvonne finally relaxed.

She paused for a second and looked at Ethan. He got the message right away.

He reassured them, “No need to worry. He’ll surely agree to the interview. You all should take it easy today.”

Finally, Yvonne felt more at ease. “I’ll go back with Margie now,” she said.

“Hold on a minute!” Saul shouted. “This place is quite out of the way. You must have come by taxi, right?”

Yvonne nodded, feeling somewhat confused by the question.

Saul added, “Let us drive you. We’re leaving in that direction anyway!”

“Would that be too much hassle for you?” Yvonne asked hesitantly.

“It’s no hassle whatsoever,” Ethan interjected promptly.noveldrama

The group made their way to the parking lot in front of the restaurant, where Saul and Ethan fetched their cars.

Leaning out of his window, Saul shouted to Margie, “Jump in!” Yvonne intended to climb in as well, but he quickly intervened. “You should ride with Ethan—one of us will take each of you!”
