Desperate Lovers

Chapter 58 Pay for the Broken Tea Cup

“James, you are such a good boss that you always protect your staff.”

Jessica’s eyes flashed and rolled her wheelchair to the table, “There is no wonder that so many people

are willing to work for you.”

Since the table was higher than her wheelchair, she could barely get the teapot. Her hands trembled

and then the boiling tea was spilled to Angela’s legs.

"Hiss!"

Since Angela’s uniform was very thin, the boiling tea was permeating into her flesh. She felt so painful

that she took a breath back into her lungs, the cold sweat popping out from her forehead.

Her whole right leg was wet, because almost all the tea in the teapot was spilled on her. Jessica was so

good at it.

James frowned. And his body had already left the seat. But he sat back into his chair after seeing the

water had already been spilled on Angela, his hands on the table, indicating that he was agitated.

“Sorry, I did not hold the teapot firmly.”

Jessica put the teapot back on the table in panic, her red eyes filled with guilt. “Is it painful?

Sorry, I did not know it would happen. I would have been thirsty all the time if I knew such a thing would

happen...”

James interrupted her with his cold voice, and said to Angela,

“Go to see a doctor. You do not need to come to work these days.”

“Thank...thank you, Mr. James.”

Angela expressed her gratefulness in a gentle voice, and she took a glance at the table while she was

restraining herself from the pain, “Could you borrow... borrow me a tea cup?”

James became more frequent knocking on the table, and his voice conveyed some coldness, “Just go

ahead.”

“Are you thirsty and do you want to drink some water?

Let me help you."

Jessica was so ashamed that her face flushed, so that she went to take the teapot.

Angela took an empty cup, restraining her urge to throw it to Jessica, “I am not thirsty.”

"Not thirsty?

So what do you need a teacup for?"

Jessica put the teapot back on the table and said worriedly,

“The water was boiling, hurry up and go to a hospital.”

Angela threw the tea cup on the floor while Jessica was pretending to care about her. She then took a

fragment of it to make a hole on her trousers and split it.

Sssss!

Her trousers were split and the blisters were seen on her leg. The intertwining blisters and scars on her

leg made it seem shocking.

If she did not split it right now, she would suffer more when the blisters became attached to her

trousers.

James’s eyesight paused on the blisters and the scars. He stopped knocking the table. Not knowing

why, his hands were trembling.

“I will pay for the broken tea cup later.”

Angela wiped the cold sweat which was flowing from her forehead, and tried hard to walk out.

There were old scars on her right leg, and it was burned by the boiling water right now. It made her

slow and like a disabled when she was walking.

Her thin figure was reflected in James’s eyes. His frowned eyebrows were now spread, but his eyes

became dimmer.

“You are hurt so badly that it was not convenient for you to go to the hospital by yourself. How about

asking James to send someone to accompany you to the hospital?”

Jessica rolled her wheelchair fast to follow Angela and held her arms.

The more caring she was, the more disgusted Angela felt. “I do not need you to be so...”

When she saw James, she swallowed the word “hypocrytical”, which was going to pop out from her

mouth, “I do not want to bother you so much. I will take a taxi.”

“It doesn’t matter. It is my fault, so I should send someone to accompany you to the hospital. It is me

who hurt you.

If you keep refusing me, I will be more guilty about it.”

Jessica tool out her phone and pretended to call someone.

James saw all of it and lowered his eyes, in which a dark light flashed.

Snap.

At this moment, Gabriela pushed the door open and came in.

She covered her mouth in shock after taking a look at Angela’s leg, “What’s the matter?”

“No...nothing” Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Angela wanted to say nothing, but after she saw that Jessica was calling someone, she licked her dry

lips, “I was hurt by the boiling water and need to go to the hospital, could you please ask someone to

accompany me to the hospital?”

“Come on. I’ll find someone.”

Gabriela took a glance at Jessica, raised her peach-blossom-like eyes and left with Angela.

Jessica looked at the door, near which there was nobody. Then she pushed her wheelchair there and

closed the door.

She took a bite of her lips and said lightly,

“Gabriela’s eyes... Did she get me wrong?”

"Isn't that the truth?"

James stood up, one of his hands in his pocket. It was not known whether he was smiling or not, but

there was all derision in his eyes.

“It is a fact that I hurt Angela.”

Jessica lowered her eyes and felt guilty, with some grievance on her face, “But I was in my wheelchair.

It was not convenient for me to made tea. Angela should...be able to understand it.”

James snorted lightly, his hands on the table knocking once in a while, “If I do not remember wrong,

you came to Dream Club not once in the past months.”

Jessica did not know what he meant, “Yeah,

why do you mention this?”

“Why did you come here so frequently these two months?”

James stopped knocking on the table and straightened himself up in his chair. He said word by word,

“Every time I came here, you came here a few minutes later. It is not like a coincidence?”

Jessica blinked her eyes innocently, “I would not have noticed it was true if you did not tell me.”

“It is a coincidence only for once or twice, but it was not likely a coincidence for more than that.”

James stood up, putting his palms on the table to support himself, and stared at Jessica, “Jessica, do

not touch my bottom line.”

The atmosphere in the office seemed to become frozen into ice.

“James, what are you talking about?

I don’t understand.”

Jessica’s eyes flashed and asked lightly.

James lowered his head to tidy his slightly fold suit. His short hair was glowing in the sun and shining

with coldness.“You are clever. Don’t make me say it directly. It is not a good thing to do that.”

“Do you think that I find someone to follow you or spy on you?”

Jessica sighed, feeling kind of helpless, “I just want to talk about my brother’s engagement next month

with you. Every time I hear you are here, I come here too. It is not as complicated as you think.”

James sat back in his chairs and looked at her coldly, not voicing a word.

When they looked into each other’s eyes, there was something secretive flowing.

“I am telling the truth. If you do not believe me, I don’t know what to do.”

Jessica spread out her arms, indicating that she was helpless. There was some sadness in her eyes.

James curled his lips, but there was no intention to smile in his eyes, “I do not like women who lie to

me. In addition,”

He lifted his eyes to take a look at her coldly, “The Harvey Family has many options for my marriage.”

“But it was known to all that I had broken my leg for you two years ago. It would hurt your fame if you

marry someone else

And if someone made it open to public through presses and media, the share price of the Harvey

Group will go down.”

Jessica’s lips carried a shallow curvature.
