Chapter 85 glanced at me with a casual expression , then lowered his gaze again , carefully switching hands to tend to my wound .

I had to admit Im not usually the type to be swayed by good looks or driven by passion ustve been the effects of the medicine that made me feel a strange thutter every time I looked at this man hen I heard Alex confirmation , I instinctively wanted to pull my hand back .

Hes angry , and still wants to take care of my wound ? Theres no audience here , so whos he putting on this show for ? Dont move , just little longer .

Ill be over soon Alex said , softly blowing on my injury .

con , even glaner from him was so tender that it was easy to get lost in it .

o wanted to ask him if I should hire someone to take photos of this warm moment .

But then I thought better of it I didnt want to get inded with rotten eggs when I walked out .

the medicine , Alex wrapped a black bandage around my wound .

I looked at the bandage around my wrist , a bit confused , and asked , Is this a medical one ? Alex glanced at me larly , his tone dismissive .

What else would it be ? Then he smiled and added .

This black bandage is for treating stubborn , long healing wounds , nodded will puzzled .

The hotels medical supplies wouldnt have something like this , so I guessed that Alex mustve carried it with him.

But I couldnt understand bes the president of the Herrera Group .

Who would dare to hurt him ? Who would have the guts ! Even though I was puzzled , I knew if Alex didnt want to talk about something , no amount of questioning would get him to open up.

Beside , I didnt want to know too much about his secrets .

Alex slipped a set of black jewelry onto my wrist , then furrowed his brows .

Why arent you wearing the bracelet ! Im better off not wearing it .

Id never be able to afford replacing it if it broke Dont you worry itll get lost at Angelas place ? I paused , surprised by his words .

Could it be that Alex had someone watching me all this time ? Of course not .

Its locked in the safe in her car .

Or should I give it back to you ! I dont feel safe having it here .

I was honest .

I didnt want to risk my l life over a bracelet .

If you wear that bracelet , no one will dare bother you Alex seemed to ponder it for a moment , then his lips curled up slightly .

After your wound beals wear the bracelet .

Dont make me tell you a third time .

His smile was light , but his voice sent a chill down my y spine I nodded in confusion , still not quite sure what he meant .

But maybe he was right if those wealthy young ladies saw Alex giving me such an expensive gift , they would likely stop looking down on me .

Laurel , if anything happens , you can always come to me .

Alexs clear eyes met mine , and for a moment , I almost believed him .

I snaled bigberly , nodding bure vai all just a just a game right ! Everyone knew how to put on a show .

But when I looked at his mesmerizing face , I couldnt help but feel a strange I glanced at the time it was still early for the dinner .

But seeing the unyickling look on Alexs face , I could only follow silently as he led me out of I didnt expect that he would take me back to the same hotel restaurant we had lunch at .

223 PM d Chapter 83 And to my surprise , the entire restaurant was empty , It seemed like Alex had shut down the whole place .

You know who did it ? I asked , curious .

Alex didnt answer .

Instead , he glanced over at the restaurant staff lined up , These are all the employees working today .

Do you remember who poured you the water ? / down Alex spoke slowly , pulling out a chair for me to sit I hesitated for a moment , then nodded .

But I still couldnt understand what he was trying to do .

Was he trying to uncover the person behind it ? Even if we found out who poisoned me wouldnt matter .

The blame would just be pushed onto Abigail , and everyone knew who she was aligned with .

The few rich girls present were just accomplices , at most acting as shields .

One by one , the waitstaff passed by , but I didnt see the one who had served me water .

Is everyone who worked d today h here ? The restaurant manager approached respectfully , saying , Miss Parks , theyre all here .

I pondered for a moment , then noticed a waiter in the front row .

I smirked .

It seemed someone had already taken the person away .

Theyre already gone , I said , looking at the manager with a calm expression .

Miss Parks , are you sure ? All the staff are here , one doesnt miss .

The manager was a man in his forties , with a serious and upright demeanor .

were really that kind of person , he would never be in this position .

If he w Well , maybe I made a mistake .

Was it you who poured me the water ? I asked casually .

At that moment , several waiters looked surprised , and one hurried to explain , Miss Parks , our manager doesnt usually serve customers in the front .

But I saw him wearing the same watch , I narrowed my eyes , a mocking smile on my face .

Miss Parks , you may not know that our restaurant has a strict policy for waitstaff .

No jewelry except for me .

But I saw the housekeepers upstairs wearing watches , I countered .

Thats because they have a set schedule to finish their tasks within a designated time , another waiter chimed in .

bly uncomfortable .

The manager wiped the sweat on his brow , growing visibly Ive found the person .

I said slowly , my gaze never leaving the managers face .

I walked up to him .

At the back of the room , a server nervously dropped her clenched hands , biting her lip .

The person who poured ine the water is your girlfriend e water .

The manager froze , his face drained of color , and quickly looked at Alex , saying .

Mr.

Herrera , it was indeed my girlfriend who served the but I swear I have no idea why she would have poisoned it Alex remained silent I only said it was her who served the water , not that she poisoned fif The manager looked extremely embarrassed .

As my eyes met the server standing in the corner , she suddenly turned and tried to flee .

Hut just as she did , someone appeared at the door and blocked her path .

She panicked , then returned to kneel in front of Alex , pleading , Mr.

Herrera , Im sorry ! Please , forgive inel
