Chapter 174 Tell Me, Why Should I Help Him To Hurt You (1/2)

”Nothing happened. Zed came to take me last night, so I didn't return to the hospital. Sorry, Maranda!” Jean didn't want to continue talking about last night. And so, she ended the conversation by apologizing to Maranda.

”I think you owe John an apology instead of me, don't you?” Maranda blinked her big eyes at Jean and continued, ”You disappeared with Mr. Qi last night, and you didn't even think about giving us a call. John and I were worried about you the whole night. Go find him and apologize! After all, we work together and we cannot afford to have misunderstandings between us. It's better to straighten it out.”

Maranda tried to persuade Jean.

Jean knew that Maranda was right. She shouldn't have yelled at John and accused him the way that she did. She hadn't even given him a chance to explain! Jean stood up slowly and made her way to John's office.

Jean knocked on the door. After she heard a familiar voice say, ”Come in, ” Jean took a deep breath before she opened the door.

John was sitting in front of his computer. He was so busy typing that he didn't look up.

Jean summoned all her courage as she walked toward John. Then she spoke sincerely, ”I'm sorry, John. I misunderstood you and said some awful things. Please accept my apology.”

Jean then bowed to John.

As she raised her head, Jean noticed that John was still looking at his computer screen. John was more concerned about his work, which made Jean feel sad. She bit her lower lip as she continued to look at John.

When she received no reply, Jean prompted again, ”John, can you forgive me?” Guilt overwhelmed Jean. She didn't know what else she could do to make up for her inappropriate behavior with John.

Although Jean didn't know John well, she hadn't thought of him as heartless. The few times they had traveled together and met during breaks, she had noticed that although distant, John was caring enough.

After hearing what Jean said, John sighed. He looked up from his computer screen and said, ”You don't have to apologize, okay? Don't take all these things so seriously. Forget about it.”

”Maranda told me that you were worried about my safety last night.” Jean continued as she bit her lower lip, ”John, why didn't you explain it to me?”

”There was no need.” John said curtly as he looked at her.
