Don't Annoy My Boss Daddy

Chapter 26 Borrowing Money

"Gabriel, let me send you back. I'm worried about you."

Evie slipped her arm through Gabriel's and said coquettishly. Since I had already mentioned it clearly

earlier, Gabriel could not refuse it this time. It would be too suspicious.

Therefore, he did not reject her again this time. He agreed to let Evie send him home. After they left, I

paid the bill and left the restaurant.

I took a taxi and went back to Evie's home. I would be starting work tomorrow morning. I prepared

everything that I would need so that I wouldn't be in a hurry the next morning.

I looked at the clock on the wall. It was nine o'clock at night. I didn't expect Evie to return early, so I

prepared to go back to my room to rest.

Suddenly, the door opened and Evie walked in. I frowned a little when I saw her coming home so early

and went up to her.

"Evie, why did you come back so soon? Why didn't you spend more time with your boyfriend?"

I put my arm around her shoulder and teased her.

"Gabriel said that he was tired. I just arrived at his house, but he asked me to come back. Hollie, tell

me, did I do something wrong? Why do I feel that Gabriel was a little indifferent to me today?"

Evie raised her head and looked at me. Her voice was muffled, and her mood seemed a little

downcast.

Hearing her words, the anger in my heart surged again. His "tiredness" was just an excuse because he

was feeling guilty.

And this silly girl Evie actually thought that she had done something wrong. It was clearly Gabriel who

was cheating on her!

I took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in my heart. I had already warned Gabriel once today. It

would be fine if he changed, but if I found out in the future that he was playing with Evie's feelings, I

would definitely not spare him.

"Evie, why would you think that? Where else would you find such a good and considerate girlfriend?

Gabriel must have done a lot of good deeds in his past life to have been able to get a girl like you."

Although Evie's personality was usually carefree, she was very kind and loyal to her friends. She was a

very likable type.

"Hollie, when did you become such a sweet-talker? You have never praised me like this before."

My words of comfort worked. Looking at me, a smile appeared on her beautiful little face.

"Evie, let me give you some advice. In the future, you should pay more attention to Gabriel and

observe him more."

I was worried that Evie would go too deep into the relationship, so I gave her a little reminder. I didn't

want her to be sad if Gabriel ended up being a stubborn assh*le.

"Hollie, what do you mean by this? Do you not trust Gabriel? Are you still traumatized by your last

relationship?"

Evie looked at me with amusement and didn't take my words to heart at all.

Perhaps she was already mentally convinced that Gabriel loved her and that the two of them could

definitely be happy forever.

I wanted to say something else, but seeing that Evie didn't seem to care, I knew that even if I said it,

she wouldn't take it seriously, so I swallowed my words.

"Maybe. I just hope that you won't get hurt. It's getting late. Go back to your room and rest early. You Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

have to work tomorrow."

When I thought of Vaughn again, I felt more disgusted than sad. The heartache was slowly fading

away.

Evie seemed to realise that she had said the wrong thing and reopened my wound. She wanted to say

something, but I did not give her the chance. I went straight back to my room.

I have already thought it through. It's not worth my time being sad over a jerk. What was more

important to me right now was working hard so that my parents can live a better life.

I was just a child from a small village. My parents had spent all their savings to pay for my studies. My

father was getting on in years, and he had some coronary disease that needed to be medicated

regularly. This was why I needed to focus on my career and earn more money.

After I started at Grizzlimited, I began my busy work, and my life returned to peace.

But good times don't last long. My peaceful life didn't last long.

Because my marriage with Vaughn was suddenly cancelled, my father's heart disease had worsened

since then. He had to take more medicine than before, and the doctor said he needed a heart stent.

However, the surgery was expensive. It would cost at least 200,000 dollars. In addition, it would cost a

lot of health care fees in the future. My family couldn't afford all this.

I knew that my father didn't want to put me in a difficult position, so he kept telling me that he was in

good health. I learned from the doctor that my father's heart was really weak now. Just medication

alone would not be sufficient to keep him in good condition. He needed a heart stent to ensure his

safety.

My parents have raised me for so many years. I can't just stand by and watch my father die. So I made

up my mind to raise money to help my father get through the difficulties.

But God didn't give me so much time to prepare money. One day, while I was at work, my mother

called me.

She was crying on the phone and told me that my father's heart disease had worsened. he had to do

the surgery within these few days. If it was delayed, his life could be in danger at any time. When I

received the call, my legs were weak with fear, and my hands were trembling.

At this critical moment, my brain seemed to have frozen. All I could hear was buzzing. I didn't know

what to do.

After a long time, I forced myself to calm down. I dialled Evie's number and told her my father's

situation. Without hesitation, Evie transferred 50,000 dollars to my account.

50,000 dollars was all of her savings over the past few years. I was glad that I still had such a good

friend to help me at such a difficult time.

However, with Evie's 50,000 dollars and the remaining 20,000 dollars on me, I was still short of

100,000 dollars. 100,000 dollars was not a small amount to me. I didn't know where I could get the rest

of the money for the operation.

Back at Evie's house, I was a little restless. I paced back and forth anxiously as I thought about the

remaining 100,000 dollars for the surgery.

"Hollie, don't panic. We'll come up with a solution. Uncle will be fine."

Evie sat down beside me and kept patting my shoulders to comfort me.

Knowing what happened in my family, Evie was very loyal. She took a leave of absence from her job

and stayed home to accompany me. Even though she couldn't give me the rest of the money, I was still

touched by her sentiments. I was really satisfied to have such a loyal friend by my side.
