Austin's back stiffened and he stopped. He didn't say anything, but the look he gave Suzy's door said it all.
I smiled with relief and returned to the room with the last bottle of wine.
The next day, Austin seemed to have disappeared.
He only sent me a message asking for leave and then there was no news.
It suddenly rained heavily at night. Austin walked in in a mess, holding the box in his arms tightly. I looked at him indifferently and handed the box to Suzy.
Suzy took out the brocade bag inside and looked at me with a little pride.
"Emily, thank you. I just mentioned it yesterday. I didn't expect you to send Austin back to me today. Austin, you've worked so hard."
Austin's cold eyes melted instantly and even the tip of his ear was stained with a little red.
"It's not hard, just a trip," He said it calmly, but his legs trembling slightly when he left still betrayed his fatigue.
I looked at Austin like this and a sour feeling rose in my heart.
It was not as easy as just a trip. But for Suzy, he was willing.
Suzy achieved her goal and smiled at me in the dark.
I ignored her pride and just ridiculed Austin's tone.
"Austin, don't forget, you are still my bodyguard now," I said coldly.
