Chapter 290
William's love always seemed to give quietly and ask for nothing in return.
But it would be a burden becoming heavier in Bonnie's heart.
"We're fine," she emphasized.
William didn't say anything else. "Then you could pack up your cubicle in the afternoon. We leave for the seafood feast at five o'clock so you're able to go home earlier in the evening."
"Okay." Bonnie nodded.
She went back to her tiny office. Unexpectedly, when she looked at her desk that had been almost tidied up, she was a little bit sorry to leave there.
After all, she'd been working in the office for the better part of the month!
Bonnie double-checked whether she had some work that had not been handed over and then seated herself on the chair to wait for leaving.
At that moment, Betty walked in.
To be exact, she just poked her head in and looked around like a thief.
"Betty, are you here for me?" asked Bonnie.
Betty nodded and walked up to Bonnie, going straight to the point, "Annie, where is the piggy bank I gave you?"
"What?"
Bonnie paused and then remembered what it was.
She took it out of the box she had packed. "Do you want to take it back?"
Betty, however, breathed a sigh of relief and waved her hands when she saw the piggy bank. "No, I didn't mean that. I just want to make sure you would take it home."
After a pause, she caught hold of Bonnie's arm with seriousness. "It really can draw money. So don't throw it away. Remember."
Bonnie eyed Betty in disbelief and looked her up and down.
As far as she knew, Betty was just a junior employee in the department on this floor.
If the small object could draw money, how come Betty did not become wealthy?
But Bonnie didn't express her doubts.
It really hurt a bit.
"I'll keep it well, thank you, Betty," Bonnie said.
Only then did Betty leave contentedly.
After Betty left, Bonnie held the piggy bank and examined it carefully for a while.
Yet however she observed it, she could find nothing but a normal money bank.
Bonnie put it back into the box and decided to leave it in the storeroom when she returned to the Sunshine Villa.
In this way, she kept her promise to not throw it away, nor let it have any effect on her life. NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.
Soon it was time to leave.
Because Bonnie did not drive to work today, she had to ride in her colleague's car to the seafood restaurant.
It was fine to take a lift when they went to the restaurant. But when the dinner was over, many of her colleagues were so drunk that they required designated drivers.
In that case, Bonnie was too embarrassed to ask the driver to take her to the villa first.
Bonnie had to order a cab herself.
However, it was difficult to hail a ride around the seafood restaurant. It took her more than half an hour to get a ride from a car-hailing app.
And it was already nine thirty in the evening—only half an hour from the ten o'clock curfew that Sebastian had told her!
She was afraid that she should go back late and be caught out by Sebastian, so she kept urging the driver to drive fast.
As a result, the more she urged, the more probably something would go wrong.
When the cab was crossing a bridge, a vehicle pileup happened. They were blocked in the middle of the bridge and could move neither forward nor backward.
Bonnie was dying of anxiety.
The driver noticed her nervousness and said, "Madam, it must take a while for the traffic jam. Or you can call your husband first and explain the situation to him. Don't make him worry."
"My husband?" Bonnie was stunned.
