Chapter 293: It Was Inappropriate To Share Her House With A Single Man
She returned to the driver’s seat, fastened Stanley’s seat belt, and took a deep breath. "Yvonne, do you think my project is too rubbish, otherwise why all of those people looked down on it?..." Stanley was still chattering about his rejection.
Yvonne felt very sorry for him. Stanley was such a proud man. He was certainly very sad to encounter these shocks. Thinking of this, she comforted him, "Stanley, don’t say that, your project is great, and you just haven’t met someone who appreciates it."
Stanley mumbled a few more words and became drunk and unconscious. Yvonne realized that she hadn’t even asked where he lived. "Stanley." She tried to call him a few times, but there was no response.
What should she do now? Yvonne frowned. She thought that if she took him to a hotel, she didn’t bring her ID when she came out in a hurry. But she couldn’t let him sleep in the car. Yvonne was a little hesitant, and she finally decided to take him back first. Thinking of this, she started the car. It didn’t take long for the car to stop at the gate of the apartment. Yvonne helped him get back home. She helped Stanley into the guest room next door, settled him in, and walked out.
But it was inappropriate to share her house with a single man at night. Thinking of this, she hesitated and knocked on the door of Sam’s house. It didn’t take long for the door to open, and Sam was walking out with a face mask on. Seeing Yvonne standing outside her door, she was slightly startled, "What’s wrong?"
Yvonne thought it was a little abrupt. After all, she and Sam were unfamiliar, so she found it difficult to rashly make such a request, "Sam, may I stay at your house for one night?"
Hearing this, Sam was surprised, "Your house...the electricity is down again?" Yvonne was a little embarrassed, "No, my colleague drank too much and had to stay in my house for one night, so..."
Hearing her words, Sam understood what was going on. "Is it a male colleague?" She asked meaningfully. Yvonne nodded awkwardly.
Sam said, "Come in."
She stepped aside. Yvonne walked in, "Thank you, Sam."
Sam closed the door behind her. "You’re welcome. You are Janice’s friend, so you’re my friend. Would you like to drink something? I only have water."
With that, she walked to the dining table, poured a glass of water, and handed it to Yvonne. Yvonne took it, "Water is fine."
"Have a seat."
Sam sat down on the sofa and motioned for her to sit down too. Yvonne walked over and sat down. "Oh, I heard Janice mention that you are a doctor," Sam said. Yvonne nodded.
Sam said, "The profession of a doctor is very good. It’s a noble profession." Yvonne was a little ashamed, "I don’t see how noble it is. It’s just a normal job."
"That’s because you have a high level of consciousness. You can sit for a while, and I will clean up the room for you." Sam said.
Hearing this, Yvonne put down the cup quickly and said, "I’ll clean it up by myself."
"Don’t, sit down. It will be done in a minute."
With that, Sam went into the bedroom on one side. Yvonne didn’t continue to follow her. She knew she shouldn’t be presumptuous as a guest. She turned around and glanced around the room. Last time she hurriedly took a shower and didn’t have time to see it. Now she found that the house was too small. It was almost half smaller than the one she lived in.
...
However, the decoration was quite warm, especially the background wall behind the sofa with many old photos on it. Yvonne glanced at it subconsciously and saw a familiar face on it. She said to herself: isn’t it Rob, Christopher’s assistant? How could he appear in the photo? Did he know Sam? "It’s ready." Sam came out from the room.
Seeing Yvonne staring at the photo in a daze, she introduced, "This is my brother. How about him? Isn’t he handsome?"
Sam looked proud. Yvonne could see that Sam loved her brother very much, and when she talked about him, her eyes lit up. She said, "He’s very handsome."
"Oh, do you have a boyfriend?" Sam asked suddenly.
Yvonne hadn’t expected that she would ask the question, and instantly blushed, "Not yet."
"Then what do you look for in a boyfriend?" Sam asked with interest.
Yvonne was a little embarrassed, "There is no standard." "Really? Why don’t you meet my brother another day? He is very nice. He’s even more handsome than in the picture, and he has a good job." Sam was enthusiastic.
Yvonne was a little embarrassed, especially when she thought that she had helped Janice test his sexuality. She felt even more embarrassed. Sam said, "Don’t be nervous. I’m just joking. You can sleep in my bedroom tonight. I’ve made the bed, and the sheets and quilts are all new."
"What about you?"
"I’m going to sleep in my brother’s bedroom. He was on a business trip recently, and he won’t be back in a few days." Yvonne was very grateful, "Thank you."
"You’re very welcome. Go to bed early and good night."
Sam walked towards the other room with a blanket. Yvonne breathed a sigh of relief as she watched her leave. She went into the bedroom and found that the bed was clean and tidy, and couldn’t help but feel grateful to Sam from the bottom of her heart. Before going to bed, she thought of Stanley who was drunk, and she didn’t know what happened to him when he stayed in her house alone.
However, it was inappropriate for her to go over to check on him when it was so late, so she didn’t think about it anymore. The next day, Yvonne got up early in the morning. When she got up, Sam was not awake. She went downstairs and bought breakfast. She put a note on the dining table of Sam’s house and returned to her house with the breakfast. When she opened the door, Stanley was already awake. He just came out of the guest room and saw her coming in from outside.
"Yvonne? This is..."
Yvonne was surprised and then said, "Oh, Stanley, you got drunk last night. I didn’t
know where you live, so I brought you back."
Stanley was startled when he heard it, "Well, you…" "Oh, I stayed at my neighbor’s house last night," Yvonne said.
"Your neighbor?" Stanley looked surprised and was about to ask something when he was interrupted by Yvonne, "Come over for breakfast. I hope you like it." She put breakfast on the dining table. Stanley walked over, glanced at the dining table, and found it was quite hearty.
"Yvonne, you’re so nice, thanks. "
Yvonne smiled, "You’re welcome. Sit down and eat. It won’t taste so good when it’s cold."
She took the tableware and handed it over, motioning him to sit down. Stanley sat down in the chair. The breakfast was very quiet, with only the sound of chewing food. Stanley said after he finished breakfast, "Thank you, Yvonne. Last night, did... did I talk a lot?" Stanley looked a little uneasy.
