Chapter 309 Do You Like Her?
Soon afterward, the man seemed to notice Deirdre and said in a surprised tone, âIs this⦠Ms.
McKinnon from the Russells?â
Deirdre could not answer, but she could only glare at the area before her in fear. Who was the person Declan called out to earlier? Kyran? Who was that?
Declan came to understand the situation and chuckled softly. He said in an apologetic tone, âIâm very sorry, Ms. McKinnon. Did my friend scare you? Heâs a mute and canât express himself with speech. He always does something that causes misunderstandings. However, he is a nice person. Please donât take it to heart.â
âMute?â Deirdre was stunned. âThis man is mute? So⦠Heâs not Brendan?â
Deirdre calmed down gradually.
If that man were Brendan, he would have already exhausted all sorts of threatening measures to deal with her by now. How would he be so calm and composed that he did not even speak or respond after she hit him?
âHeâ¦â Deirdre pointed at her forehead and furrowed her eyebrows deeply. âWiped my forehead out of nowhere, and he was very rough.â
She wanted an explanation.
Declan looked toward Kyran in frustration. The man shrugged and pointed at the dust on Deirdreâs face.
with a frown.
âSo that is the case.â Declan let out a muffled laugh. âYou have something on your face, Ms. McKinnon.
My friend was subconsciously trying to clean the stain for you and didnât mean anything else. Itâs possible. that his action was rough because he is trained in martial arts. He usually helps out with the heavy work backstage.â
Martial arts?
Deirdre was stunned and rubbed her forehead in a daze. It made sense to her now that she thought about it. She was in pain earlier from the button of his sleeve rubbing her skin.
The man was a mute, so he wiped her face without uttering a word, and she was in pain because of his shirt button.
She had such a strong reaction to the situation and was under the assumption that the man wasâ¦
âIâm sorry that I misunderstood.â
She was a blind person subjected to way too much discrimination. Her heart went out to the person before her who had almost the same disability as her.
âItâs fine. Blame it on my friend if you want. Heâs always trying to do something with good intentions but turns out bad because he canât speak â Declan said smilingly, âMoreover, he was careless and hurt you, Ms. McKinnon. How about this? I shall be the host and buy you dinner as an apology, Ms. McKinnon?â
âItâs fine.â Deirdre lowered her gaze. She did not enjoy interacting with outsiders anyhow. She was terrified earlier, yet she was still panic-stricken now.
âIt was only a trivial matter⦠Moreover, itâs getting late, and I would like to go home.â âAlright then âDeclan did not insist and sounded like he was rather happy that Deirdre was sensible enough not to cause more trouble for him. âSince you donât want it, I wonât impose on you either. Erin, send Ms. McKinnon to the door.â
A woman walked over and helped Deirdre to walk to the door.
Deirdre could feel as if a gaze was constantly locked on to her along the way without looking away for a moment. She felt slightly uneasy and quickened her walking speed subconsciously.
Meanwhile, Declan patted Kyranâs shoulder after Deirdre left. He said with piqued interest, âWhatâs going on? Do you like her?â
Kyran shifted his gaze and took a seat without making a sound.
Declan was already used to his old friendâs mannerisms. He took a seat with a cigarette in his mouth. âI havenât gotten around to watching the musical after all this time, so itâs finally time for me to feast with.
my eyes today.â
Deirdre had just arrived at the entrance when she bumped into Madame Russell, who came to pick her up. âWhat happened to Tobey, Deirdre? Why is he leaving all of a sudden? He didnât even pack up his things. and called me to pick you up.â
Deirdre said, âIâm not too sure, either. However, Tobey said that something happened at work and that he is needed.â
