Fall in Love with A Soldier

Chapter 23 See Him Again

"I... my brother came and she didn’t take me to the hospital." Elizabeth smiled. She spoke bad words to that woman this morning, so she’d better spare her.

The words of the two women were different, and Hugo smiled unintelligibly.

Elizabeth looked at Hugo in amazement. She had to admit that this man was handsome when he smiled.

But, why was he laughing? Did she say something wrong?

Hugo understood what was going on, so he suddenly grabbed the box of condoms in Elizabeth’s hand.

"Which room does your brother live in?" Before Elizabeth could figure out what was the matter, Hugo asked.

Elizabeth thought for a moment and replied, “It seems that...502... "

"Nancy, come over." Hugo said to the receptionist.

The receptionist saw Hugo as if she had seen an emperor. She immediately stepped forward and asked respectfully, "Mr. Hugo... What can I do for you?”

"Take this box of condoms to Room 502." Before the receptionist could finish, Hugo handed her the condom.

Nancy was shocked, took the condom shyly and turned into the elevator.

When Elizabeth was baffling, she was held up by Hugo suddenly.

"I'll take you to the doctor." said Hugo.

Elizabeth froze. Looking at Hugo’s handsome side face, she inexplicably was touched.

This feeling...

How wonderful!

After arriving at the hospital, the doctor saw the foot film of Elizabeth and said, "No bone was injured, only the ankle ligament."

"Will it hurt for days?" Elizabeth asked tentatively. She was actually quite afraid of pain.

The doctor nodded slightly and then gave the medicine to Elizabeth.

As Elizabeth was walking out of the hospital, Elizabeth took out her purse and handed two thousand yuan to Hugo, which was from her father.

"I know it is not enough for tickets and medical bills... But I can only give you so much... Because, the rest of the hundreds of yuan is for my living expenses..." Elizabeth was embarrassed but sincere.

In his eyes, the most valuable thing about her was sincerity.

This girl was not like the pretentious women wearing heavy make-up around him. They only tried to get on top or how to get what they want.

She was not hypocritical, in other words, she might be inexperienced.

And... The girl's voice was sweet, containing no impurities.

Hugo asked, “Do you think I am coming for your money?"

"I know, you don't seem short of money, it's just... I don't want to owe you much, because I have to pay them back some day..." Elizabeth, however, had her own principles.

Hugo smiled and took the money in Elizabeth’s hand, “I respect your idea."

Then he took out another three thousand yuan from his purse and handed it to Elizabeth.

Elizabeth stared blankly at Hugo with a blank expression on her fine face.

"This must be your first time to BJ City! I don't think you're much of a visiting relative, either, so I guess...You're supposed to be looking for a job. Now that your brother has a girlfriend, it doesn't seem right for you to live with your brother. Take the money, I lend it to you!" said Hugo.

The apartments under the tenth floor under his name had one bedroom, one sitting room, one kitchen and one bathroom.

The girl had a brother, and her brother had a girlfriend, so it was obvious that if she lived with his brother, she would have to live in the living room.

He was right, he thought.

Yes, he was so good at analyzing people that he could easily catch even a subtle expression.

Elizabeth did not expect the man in front of her could see her so thoroughly. She took out her ID card from the wallet and handed it to the man.

"Here is my ID card. If you really want to lend me some money, then lend me ten thousand yuan. I'll give you an IOU, and you can collect the interest. I will work to earn money and return to you!" Elizabeth said confidently.

"What do you want ten thousand yuan for?" he asked curiously.

"Tuition fees, and... I really have to rent another apartment. It's really awkward living with my brother and sister-in-law." Elizabeth smiled bitterly.

"You haven't graduated yet?" asked Hugo.

Elizabeth nodded, “I am a sophomore."

"What's your major?" asked Hugo. All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

Elizabeth scratched the back of her head sheepishly, “Interior design."

Hugo showed a smile.

Elizabeth watched the smiling face of Hugo and felt that he would lend her the money since he had asked her so many questions. She took out the portable pen and post-it notes from her wallet, wrote an Iou, and handed her ID card to Hugo.

Hugo smiled, “You first put the IOU written, are you not afraid I do not lend you money?"

“You won't!” Elizabeth answered firmly.

Hugo nodded meaningfully, took away the IOU but her ID card.

"Elizabeth Lawrence?" He said, softly uttering her name.

Elizabeth answered, “Yes."

"Is your brother Anthony Lawrence?" asked Hugo.

Elizabeth asked in surprise, “Do you know my brother?"

Hugo smiled and said, "No! It's easy to guess your brother's name just by looking at your name. Your parents must have been loved each other."

"Yes, yes..." Her father did everything what her mother said.

Elizabeth could not help but feel cold thinking of her mother.

"Your brother has a nice apartment. You can ask the front desk if there are any vacancies. In addition, if you are looking for a job, you can go to DL Estate. They recruit interns as interior designers." Hugo said kindly.

DL Estate, a subsidiary of Lengs Group, recruited interns for interior design! Really?

Elizabeth watched Hugo with some disbelief.

Hugo gave her a smile.

He was now the general manager of DL Estate, it was up to him if it would recruit interns.

Elizabeth felt strange, because DL Estate never recruited interns, but she nodded and said, “Thank you!"
