Chapter 105 Marico's Confession Again
"This is for Mrs. Herbert's treatment, not as my class representative's treatment."
The man stated quietly.
Dana's chopsticks froze in midair.
Mrs. Herbert...
Hearing these words abruptly, she was shocked.
However, after not getting used to it, there was another vague expectation.
She had no class in the afternoon.
After weighing it repeatedly, Dana decided to go to the People's Procuratorate to see Dawn Roosevelt.
At People's Procuratorate.
When Dana came here, she was in a mixed mood.
Although she really didn't have any special deep feelings for his father who drove her out of the house, for some reason, they have lived together for fifteen years. More importantly, blood was thicker than water.
"Miss Dana, wait a minute."
The police officer in charge said, turned around, and went in to make arrangements.
Dana stood alone and waited.
Before long, the police officer came out.
"Sorry, Miss Dana."
Dana frowned, "What's the matter?"
"Your father refused to meet you."
Dana's slender brows wrinkled lightly.
He tried to stop her at school and forced her to go home for dinner, but now he refused to meet her?
He wanted to let her go home when it was beautiful, but refused to meet after falling off the horse.
Dana's heart suddenly softened a lot. When she remembered the one million he had given her before leaving the country, her brows became deeper in an instant.
"Please go in again. If I don't see him today, I will come again in the future."
The police officer hesitated for a moment, then said, "All right."
Dana waited for a while, until the officer came out again. This time, Dawn did not continue to refuse to see her.
Dana followed the leader to the place where Dawn stayed.
The place where he stayed was simple, but the hardware was good. There were a TV and air conditioning, which was much better than normal prisons, but after all, it was a prison.
Dana was standing in the doorway. Dawn was reading a book in a chair by the window with his back facing her.
Dana would not go in for a while, the police officer said, "Miss Dana, our people will pick you up in twenty minutes."
"Okay."
Dana nodded, looked at his father, and said, "Why didn't you see me just now?"
Dawn didn't put down the book. It looked laid back, but it also had a majestic aura.
"There's nothing to see. I stayed here well."
"Have you something to do with Ann and Zoe?"
She didn't care about anything else, but Walker told her that day that his one million was the fuse for his father's dismissal.
She didn't want to carry this pot, let alone owe anyone.
If it was because of her, she would not sit idly by.
Dawn just flipped a page casually.
"It has nothing to do with you."
Dana looked at him, "You don't want to tell me anything, do you?"
Dawn said nothing.
Throughout the whole journey, except for seeing her father, Dana received almost no news.
Twenty minutes passed quickly, and Dana just went out. The girl's young face was helpless. Just then, Walker's call on her phone inside her pocket came in.
"Hey, teacher." The girl's voice was a little weak.
"Where are you?"
"I was seeing my dad just now. There was a traffic jam in the evening rush hour. I might go back later."
"Find a place nearby and wait for me to pick you up."
The man hung up without saying a word. Dana's lips twitched, and she didn't say anything. She found a cafe nearby and sat down.
By the window, the girl held her cheeks, watching the people coming and going outside.
She remembered the last time she met her father before going abroad, in such a café.
At that time, he gave her a check. She purely thought it was Ann's money in business, so she took it for granted.
Although she later donated all this million, she never thought that because of this incident, her father failed to run for governor, and her entire life would be changed.
She was still very guilty.
She didn't know when it rained outside.
Dana looked at the people fleeing in the rain. She instantly realized that she didn't bring an umbrella either.
She glanced at her watch, and saw that it was seven o'clock. There was still half an hour before the time she agreed with Walker.
Dana continued to sit bored. Her phone rang again.
"Dana?"
"What's the matter, Teacher Walker?"
The male's voice was somewhat depressed, "Something happened to the company. I can't pick you up, Assistant Boyle will pick you up."
"It's fine. I'll just go back by myself."
She would just a get a taxi. It was very convenient. There was no need to pick her up.
The other side was silent for two seconds and asked, "It's raining, do you have an umbrella?"
"No." Dana drew her fingers in circles on the table. "But it's okay, I will wait for the rain to stop before leaving."
"Don't get drenched." Walker said, and then added, "Text me when you get home."
"Alright."
Dana agreed, hung up the phone, and continued to sit in the cafe,
The rain was getting heavier outside. She didn't know when it would stop.
The girl was bored, but she became irritated for no reason.
She didn't know how long it took.
"Dana?"
An asking male voice rang for a moment, and Dana thought she was hearing a hallucination.
She looked up in disbelief, a little sluggish.
"Marico?"
The man in front of her was as honorable as a jade. She was like a handsome son in memory.
She wore a casual shirt, tall and handsome, with a gentle smile on his face.
He said to her, "I heard Hussey say that you are back. I haven't seen you for a year. I met you here by chance. What a coincidence."
"Yes." Dana smiled. The coffee on the table was already cold, so she lowered his head.
"Waiting for someone?" he asked again.
"No, it's raining outside. I will wait until the rain stops before leaving."
"So..." Marico looked at her, after a few seconds, "Is it convenient for you to send you off?"
"What?"
Dana regained her senses, "Will it be troublesome, Marico?"
The man smiled brightly, "You know, you are in my world. There is never word such as trouble for you."
This sentence was very ambiguous.
Dana was sitting on his luxury car with a heart-to-heart. One year ago, Marico said he wanted to chase her. Now it has been a year, he shouldn't remember this, right?
The traffic was a bit congested, and the road that was not far was driven for an hour.
Halfway through the drive, Marico suddenly received a call.
Dana didn't listen at first, and when the man hung up, Marico suddenly turned around and said to her, "Dana, can I trouble you something?"
"What's the matter, Marico? Don't be so polite." Marico was already very kind to her that was why she didn't dare to refuse.
The man smiled sideways.
"I'm ashamed to say it. My few friends from overseas returned to Progress City yesterday."
"They all brought girlfriends or wives. I was the only one who was a bachelor. They teased me every time about this, and they tirelessly introduced various women and classmates to me. You know, I am a reserved person. I don't like socializing very much."
"So, Dana, are you willing to be temporarily my girlfriend for one day?"
When Marico said this, Dana was the most embarrassed.
She twisted her seat belt on the car, and bit her lip.
"But... Marico, there should be a lot of celebrities and daughters around you who are willing to accompany you in this play. Even if it is not good, your secretary is more suitable than me."
He was Hussey's younger brother, so she should respect him as a big brother.
Furthermore, she was now Walker's legal wife. This matter couldn't be made public. Some relationships could be approached or rejected. She still understood the truth in her heart.
Marico was rejected and smiled a little helplessly.
"But Dana, you are the only one by my side now."
Dana pursed his lips and said nothing, "Marico."
"Isn't it okay for just one meal?"
"It's not impossible..."
Dana didn't say it was impossible, but she had to discuss this matter with Walker.
"Dana."
The car stopped at the traffic light.
Marico put down the steering wheel, turned his head, and looked at her seriously.
"Do you remember what I told you in this car a year ago?"
Dana was speechless.
How could she not remember?
Marico said that he wanted to chase her.
"I remember, but I thought about it, we still..."
"No." Marico interrupted Dana before she could say it.
"Don't rush to refuse me. Give me some time. Let us get along, and let me chase you and understand me before you can make a decision. Can you?"
Dana couldn't argue with this.
If she was single now, she could give him time.
But now, she already had a husband.
"This time, just treat me as if you do me a favor. Just help me block those gossiping classmates. It has nothing to do with me chasing you, okay?" Marico's offensive was like fire and water.
