Chapter 420
President’s Substitute Wife novel Chapter 420
In the evening, I put this card away. I took the coffee cup and drove home.
I was unhappy and didn’t want to go, but I put on makeup and changed clothes.
I sat on the sofa and looked at the card, “7:00 tonight, Vienna.”
I hesitated to go.
It was 6:40. If I wanted to go, I had to start at once.
I thought about it. Finally I picked up my bag and the cup and wanted to go out!
Fortunately, there was no traffic jam now. It took me about 20 minutes to get to Vienna.
I took a look at my watch. It was exactly seven.
I parked at the intersection and looked inside. Several waiters stood at the door.
Sean seemed to have booked the entire restaurant.
I was about to start the car in when my cell phone rang.
I looked down and saw Philip’s number.
I picked up the phone and wanted to talk, but I heard the noise, “are you Becky?”
“Huh?”
I was a little surprised because it was loud and it sounded anxious.
And it was not Philip’s voice.
“I’m Philip’s roommate, Mathew. Do you remember me?”
Mathew? I seemed to have heard the name.
I admitted, “yes.”
“Can you come to our school now? There’s something wrong with Philip!”
Mathew said.
“What happened to him?”
I was suddenly nervous. I took a look at the restaurant and hesitated.
Mathew paused and said, “Philip borrowed money from loan sharks, but he can’t pay back the money. Now someone is asking for money! They may chop off his hand!”
“What?” I was stunned. I didn’t think Philip would do it.
But I didn’t have time to think now. I immediately said, “I’ll be right there.”
I turned my head and took a look at the restaurant. Although I was reluctant, I started the car again and drove towards the school.
I got to Philip’s school at about 7:30.
As soon as I got to the door, I saw a tall boy standing there. I was not sure if he was Mathew, but I knew he was Philip’s roommate.
He saw me and didn’t get in the car and led the way!
He seemed to be really worried!
I was worried and afraid that Philip would have an accident. After all, I thought he had a great future. If something happened to him, it was a pity!
