Chapter 1088

“You have an interesting way with words. It’s okay; buy and take whatever you need. Consider it a welcoming gift. Cough, cough-” Cecilia stopped talking as she was experiencing a coughing fit.

Blake quickly passed her warm water and said, “Ms. Samford, you should drink some water. I can get you your medication later.”

Cecilia sipped the water and obliged, “Mhm.”

Then, Blake walked out of the hospital ward. Cecilia stared at her for a while before retracting her gaze.

‘I must be overthinking it,’ she thought.

After that, Blake used Cecilia’s card to buy some clothes and accessories for that night. Then, she went to a stylist.

When Blake met Cecilia again, the latter eyed her with her arms crossed. She asked, “What’s wrong?

Did Kevin not tell you to dress this way or ask you to meet clients?”

Blake answered embarrassingly,” Ms. Samford, you think too highly of me. I’m actually quite clumsy, so Mr. Harrison thought I was a nuisance. Hence, I usually just sit in the car and wait.”

When she saw that Cecilia was not speaking, Blake immediately added, “Ms. Samford, the doctor said you need bed rest. Meeting a client now would be bad for your recovery.”

“It’s just a small problem. The sickness can heal slowly, but money waits for no one. Anyone could take money away from us at any moment,” Cecilia replied.

She then adjusted Blake’s belt and saw the injury on Blake’s wrist. She immediately grabbed her wrist and asked, “How did you get this injury?”

Blake did not know why Cecilia was reacting this way. She answered in shock, “I burned myself when I was younger. Is there a problem, Ms. Samford?”

Cecilia quickly calmed down. Then, she chuckled and replied, “It’s fine. When you’re done, you can come with me.”

After that, Blake drove and saw from the rearview mirror that Cecilia was napping. She proceeded to slow down the car. After forty minutes, they finally arrived at Eternal Seasons.

The scenery at Eternal Seasons was beautiful, and a fragrant scent of wood wafted through the air. As they entered, Blake followed behind Cecilia. They proceeded to walk into a booth under the server’s guidance.

There were mostly men in the booth. They were dressed in suits and were very ugly. Blake did not know how to negotiate with such people, so she sat beside Cecilia and poured drinks for everyone.

While doing so, she helped Cecilia to refuse attempts at drinking alcohol.

Cecilia sat while drinking her herbal tea. On the other hand, Blake was surrounded by four men who kept touching her. She tried to avoid them at the start, but as she got drunk, she did not care anymore.

Cecilia looked on with a smile. She put down her tea and said, “Since the contract has been signed, I will be taking my leave due to my health. I’ll have my assistant keep you company. She’s still young, so please treat her gently.”

“She’s your assistant; of course, we’ll treat her properly. Hopefully, we can collaborate more in the future with you,” One of the clients said.

Cecilia took her bag and stood up before replying, “That would be great.” She then left with the car keys.

Blake was utterly wasted and was carried by the clients. She asked them, “Where are you guys bringing me? I’m not done drinking.”

Kevin was at the booth opposite theirs, drinking tea. When he heard a familiar voice outside, he froze.

From the gap at the door, Kevin noticed Blake outside their booth.

He squinted his eyes and ordered Susan, “Go outside and check it out.”
