After drinking some wine, Sachin called the driver to drive. He and Rosiley sat in the back seat.
As soon as he got in the car, he leaned against the back of his seat and closed his eyes.
Seeing this, Rosiley asked with concern, "Are you feeling sick?"
Sachin turned his head and smiled, "No, I'm just a little tired.”
During this period, apart from dealing with REG's affairs, he had to deal with trivial matters of the Lu family's property. He was
exhausted.
He looked worn. Rosiley felt distressed and raised her hand to massage his temples.
Sachin's clear black eyes were fixed on her pretty face with tenderness.
"Sleep for a while. I'll wake you up when we get there."
Rosiley said in a soft voice. Her fingertips moved slowly and gently, as if she was composing a song that could make people fall asleep.
Only in front of her, would Sachin show his weakness without any scruples.
Gradually, he was sleepy. Her face was getting blurry.
He was asleep.
Rosiley told the driver to drive slowly. She stared at him. Her hand stopped moving and her fingertips stroked down his outline. Finally, she stopped on his eyebrows and gently stroked him.
He was a privileged and proud person. But he married her.
If she hadn't seen Yunis's betrayal that day, hadn't met Sachin, hadn't heard Lane's words and plucked up her courage, perhaps....
Now, they were just strangers.
Thinking of this, she panicked.
Rosiley looked down and smiled. She was glad that she had met him.
The scenery outside the car window whirled past them. The night was pressing up and spread out along the road.
In the middle of the night, a cell phone rang in the quiet bedroom.
Sachin, who had always shallow sleep, was woken up. He turned to look at the sleeping girl in his arms. Then, he gently got out of bed and grabbed the phone ringing on the bedside table and walked out.
“Rosiley, save me!"
As soon as he answered the phone, a crying female voice came from the other side. Sachin frowned and looked at the phone. It was Yayoi.
"I'm not Rosiley."
The crying stopped for a moment, and then a panicked voice sounded, "I'm sorry, I’m sorry...”
Sachin frowned and asked, "What happened?"
There were intermittent sobs coming from the other side. Sachin frowned even more tightly. If she wasn't Rosiley's precious best friend, being woken up and unhappy, he would have just hung up instead of waiting so patiently for an answer.
After a long time, Yayoi's voice sounded again, "Mr. Sachin, please help me...."
Maddox yawned and his eyelids drooped. But the policeman opposite was still talking nonstop.
He wanted to how! loudly. Why did he have to come to the police station to help Sachin with business when it was supposed to be bedtime now?
Half an hour ago, he was still asleep when he was woken up by the call. He had wanted to swear. But when he saw the call reminder, he swallowed all the dirty words.
"Help me put up bail for a woman from the police station."
He was sleepy and wanted to refuse. But he didn't dare. That was why he was sitting here and listening to the police's long speech now.
Although he wanted to sleep, he still had a general idea of what happened.
Yayoi, who was Rosiley's best friend, deliberately injured someone. The victim was hospitalized, while Yayoi was taken to the police station.
The victim's family said that they would never let Yayoi off easily. No matter how much money they spent, they would send her to prison.
Afterwards, Yayoi turned around and looked out of the car window. Maddox gave her a sidelong glance and raised his eyebrows slightly. He did not say anything else.
The car drove smoothly on the highway. After a long time, a soft female voice sounded in the quiet car.
"Mr. Shen, are you free now?"
Maddox was stunned by the sudden question. Then, he reacted and asked, "What's the matter?"
"I'll treat you to a drink."
Yayoi turned to stare at him.
Maddox twisted his head sideways and looked at her. The light in the car was dim. Her eyes, which were no longer as dim and empty as when she was in the police station, were bright and beautiful.
He was touched by her and nodded unconsciously, “Alright.”
Rosiley was nervous when she knew that Yayoi was in trouble. After hearing that Maddox had resolved the matter, she felt relieved.
"Thank you, Sachin."
If it had not been for his help, Yayoi would still be detained in the police station.
"Don't be so polite to me." Sachin felt unhappy by her thanks.
Rosiley saw it. So, she gave a soft smile, "I'm thanking you on behalf of Yayoi. I won't be polite to you.”
As she spoke, she walked over, tiptoed, and kissed him on the lips. “I'm happy. You're so kind to my friend.”
Sachin looked up. He wrapped his arms around her waist and held her tightly in his arms.
He smiled, "That's not enough."
Before he could finish speaking, he kissed her hard on the red lips.
Rosiley felt like a small boat floating on the sea. The storm made her overwhelm. She could only be drowned in a crazy wave in the end.
