Chapter 1571
While rubbing his midbrows, Wyatt felt a splitting headache. One wrong move could cause a mess! He really shouldn't have made the mistake!
How could he explain the damaged wrist watch to her?
After rushing to Patek Philippe Flagship Store, Wyatt waited for the inspection result.
Soon, a staff member came out with a tray.
"Mr. Johnson, the cover glass was severely damaged by an external force. It can't be repaired anymore. We can only change it to new cover glass. Fortunately, the interior parts and inner surface are not damaged, so the repair is relatively simple! The cover glass of our watch is strong. It's not easy to leave even a slight scratch on the surface. The strength and angle are so coincidental that such serious damage is caused. As your watch is a high-quality limited edition model, the cover glass needs to be customized at the headquarter in Switz. It will take at least ten days to fix it! Do you want to leave the watch here or wait for the cover glass to arrive before we inform you?"
"Ten days? So long?"
How could he hide it from her in the past ten days? Was he going to confess to her that he had been useless and muddle-headed enough not to be able to protect her token of love?
Wasn't it making things worse?
Although knowing that keeping it a secret from her was not right, it was better if he could erase the incident without any trace. At least in the future, she would not be mad as she was right then even if she learned about it!
He gently stroked the band as if he was caressing his most beloved person. As though ten thousand years had passed, Wyatt began to faintly suggest, "Is this model still available? Well, shall I buy a new match? Will removing its cover glass and replacing the cracked surface with the new cover glass work?"
"Uh?"
The staff member blurted out in confusion. Did she mishear? If he wanted to buy a new watch, why would he tear it apart to fix the old watch?
The staff member assumed that her hearing went wrong from being fascinated by the handsomeness of the man before her eyes. With an awkward chuckle, she took several more glances at him to notice the serious look in his eyes. It seemed that he was not joking, so the staff member said.
"Mr. Johnson, I am honored that you like this watch, but this couple watch is well- received this year. There is no remaining stock in our store, so let me assist you in checking the sales of other stores to see if we can transfer a pair over as soon as possible. Since this is a couple watch, it can't be sold separately! Since you want to tailor a pair of couple wristwatches, this old model..."
Did he have to go through so much trouble?
Realizing that she seemed to be too talkative and remembering something, the staff member went on to say, "Please wait a moment. I'll help you check it out!"
Soon, the staff member came over.
"Mr. Johnson, you're lucky. We found a set of identical model watches restocking today. Originally, they were supposed to be sent to another store. If you want it, we can contact them now to send it over, but the delivery will take at least two hours!"
Checking the time, Wyatt clapped his hands and yelled, "I want it!"
"Sure! Mr. Johnson, each of our watches has a label on it. Even if they are of the same model, it is hard to guarantee that there is no difference. I suggest that you don't tear apart the new watch to fix the old watch. It's better for you to wear the new watch for the time being. If you leave the old watch behind, we'll send our men to the headquarters in Switz for repair. It can be restored to its original state. It won't delay your use of the watch and reduce transport time sending the watch back and forth, hence speeding up the repair of the watch!"
Her words made sense. It would take a lot of time to replace the cracked cover glass. The key was that he could not wait until the watch was fixed, so he nodded, paid the money, and made a call to give instructions. It was too tiring, so he slept on the lounge chair.
She applied for leave early in the morning. Waverly went to the hospital to deal with the slightly scarred wound before heading to the company.noveldrama
As soon as she entered the office, several colleagues approached her. "Waverly, are you alright? You frightened us to death!"
"Are you hurt? Why don't you take leave to rest for two more days?"
"Miss Waverly, thank God you're smart! I didn't expect a thief to be so bold and flagrant in Casterwich City, where the security is strict. He was indeed seeking death!"
"Oh, he must be tired of living. He couldn't be stopped! How could he have done such a foolish thing?"
"If he's not mentally ill, he must be forced into a corner by life, isn't he? The criminal claimed it to be his first time committing a crime! Every family has its difficulties..."
"This is robbery and injuring the victim, which is more serious than theft! Alas..."
"I don't know what happened yesterday. Look, there were a lot of incidents! Some were robbed, some had a car accident, and some were framed. They end up in worse conditions than each other..."
Her colleagues were full of concern for her, while Wynne scanned her from head to toe. All of an instant, Waverly was confused. "Do all of you know about it?"
Who would publicize such a minor incident? How did everyone know about it? "How could we not know about it? Miss Waverly, you have made the headlines. You're no different from a role model in the textbooks!" Xena gesticulated to her phone and gave Waverly a thumbs-up.
Fortunately, everyone was busy. After making sure Waverly was all right, they were forced back to their seats by the phone calls and work.
When they returned to their seats, Waverly remained in a trance, followed by her reaction to turn on her mobile phone to have a look.
It was fine if she didn't take a look, but once she did so, thunder rumbled in her mind. It was because, at the same time, two photos were in the headlines, one of which was her crying, and the other was Wyatt at the airport.
"A Beauty Encountering Robbery on a Night Road: Bawling and Wisdom in SelfProtection"
"Watch Your Luggage: Airport MegaSmuggling Busted"
As she clicked on the title, Waverly's lips could not help but curl into a taunt arch.
He had stood them up the previous night because he had gone to fetch a woman at the airport.
The woman...
Looking at the slender beauty on the side of the photo, and then at the obvious international exit sign, Waverly's eyes lit up.
Was she Raynee Wagner?
Besides her, who else could trouble Mr. Johnson to go over?
Had Seth been there as well?
Aliases were used in the news, but the photos were real!
After reading the article, Waverly's face grew more ugly. Coincidentally, because
the two incidents happened on the same night at about the same time, the media outlets made a comparison.
In fact, it was not because she was frightened or wise in handling the situation that she burst out crying but having encountered such a sudden situation while she was feeling aggrieved, she couldn't stop herself from bursting into tears. Besides, the thief had obviously been nervous. As he robbed Waverly, he explained that he was forced to do so since he had a difficult life. Besides, he had compelled her into taking naked photos to prevent her from calling the police. As the two of them voiced their difficulties, she couldn't help crying. Not knowing whether the man was overwhelmed by sympathy or nervousness, in short, he fled after incising her neck. Some people were kind enough to lodge a police report after hearing the commotion or stumbling upon the scene.
Waverly had not expected the incident to be reported in the news. Her wailing turned into witty self- help. When she lodged a police report in the police station, she had indeed mentioned talking to the suspect and roughly recalled the
situation.
Not knowing which surveillance camera the screenshot was from, it was obvious that she was bawling in tears.
On the other side of the news was the picture of an airport in which a woman was pointing fingers. It was in chaos as well. It was to promote justice, but at the same time, remind everyone that women should not panic when encountering such situations. They did not forget to point out the woman who was unlucky to have her luggage replaced to calm down and learn from the woman who was robbed.
Waverly could see the general meaning of it. As the woman at the airport had not been calm, the incident that should have been easy to solve became complicated. Not only did she suffer, but she had also been near to causing turmoil at the
airport.
Wasting so much effort into calming down a little, the news suddenly caused huge waves in her heart. In a flash, Waverly could not hold back her anger, especially when she was reminded of how he had stood her and her father up, yet had been with another woman. She had been robbed and almost ripped off her clothes on the way home, yet he had
played the role of the beast saving
the beauty. The anger in her heart
was like a volcano that was ready to
erupt.
B*stard! Why would he pester her if he cared so much about others? Why did he
go to her father?
D*mn it!
The guy deserved to be hacked into pieces!
Waverly huffed in anger. At the exact moment, what she wanted to do the most
was to throw the ragged bag back at him!
It was then the director rushed in with a few sheets in his hand.
"The Laramie City branch needs someone to go over for a week. Is anyone convenient right now? You must leave at once! Those who intend to go can come over to apply
suitabl
for it. If there are no candidates, I will make a random arrangement. The bonus will be doubled! It involves checking the company's account! For those who have a family, don't think about it. This matter cannot be delayed, and if anything goes wrong, the year-end bonus of the other departments may be canceled..."
"Is it that serious? Director, can all of us not go?"
"All you know is to push the responsibility around! It's not as terrifying as it sounds
to be. As long as you do your work seriously, don't make any mistakes, or delay
the progress midway, there won't be any problem. After this important case, our company's annual bonus will be increased by at least 10% for the year!" "Wow! It sounds like an important case!"
While everyone was muttering, Waverly raised her hand high. "Director, let me go!
I've finished my work!"
The main reason behind her volunteering was that she wanted to leave the city
and relax!
If she stayed any longer, she was afraid that she might not be able to control herself from fighting Wyatt!
"I support the idea. Miss Waverly should go!"
After hurrying to the office to get a better understanding of the situation and
making sure that there was no big problem, Waverly returned home, packed up her luggage, and set off.
In the Patek Philippe Flagship Store, Wyatt was awakened by a phone call. His head was about to explode from the throbbing headache. Raynee?
The thorn in his heart seemed to have been pricked. Once he saw the name, a
complex emotion stirred in Wyatt's heart. Although he couldn't blame her for what happened the night before, he was resentful for having been dragged along.
He pressed the answer button and answered the phone in a displeased tone, "What's the matter?"
"Wyatt, are you busy? Am I disturbing you?"
What do you think?
