Chapter 56 Dana Roosevelt Is My Girlfriend
"Where did you go? You smell like a man." As soon as she commented, Dana immediately felt ashamed.
"Hey, you're blushing-!" Hussey looked at her with a grin. Until the end of class, her teasing smile was plastered all over her face. When she stood up to pack her books, she suddenly said to her.
"Oh, Dana by the way. The last time you were in the dormitory, you have dealt with the disciplinary matter. The dormitory said that it was not yours to find out that those things are not yours, and it will be convenient for you to move them back."
"Is that so?" When she heard the news for the first time, she was quite happy. But when the moment that she thought about it, she felt worries flood her system.
"Then, did the residence checked and find out who owns those things?"
Although she knew in her heart that it must be Emily's group of people who did that snarky scheme, she can't accuse them without evidence.
"I didn't pay attention, but if you want to come back, you can come back anytime."
When she went out of school, Dana suddenly didn't know where she was going. She walked aimlessly, trying to absorb what happened. Now that the dormitory she used to live in said that she can go back, she has no reason to continue living with her teacher, right? Dana thought she must find him in the Situation Building. The girl bowed her head and walked out of the school gate. The moment that she held her head up, Dana saw a black luxury car in front of her.
A series of loud and long honked horns caught her attention. Dana glanced at the license plate number and saw its familiar digits.
'Mr. Herbert? Why is he here? The girl took a deep breath and walked over quickly. She slightly bent in front of the car window and knocked on it twice. Soon after, the glass door rolled down and Dana moved her head closer.
"Teacher, why are you here?" Dana wanted to face this man calmly but when she thought of what happened last night, her cheeks can't help but flush,
"Hop in." He coldly ordered, ignoring her inquiries.
"Alright."
Dana obediently opened the door and went inside. She put her schoolbag aside and asked carefully,
"Teacher, I want to tell you something. That is--." Without finishing her words, Walker interrupted her. She was supposed to say that she can't live with him anymore since her dormitory head issued that she can go back.
"Eat first. We will be having our dinner tonight."
Without replying, Dana nodded her head in agreement. Aghast, she suddenly thought of something.
"What, another meal?"
Thinking of the last dinner they shared, she met someone she desperately didn't want to see and was almost kidnapped!
"Yes." Walker briefly replied0 and then continued to hold the steering wheel. He turned his head to look at her and meaningfully gaze at her.
"Tonight, Mayor Dawn will be joining us. He is here."
Dana's mind wandered off since hearing that sentence. Absent-mindedly, she followed Walker to the styling shop to prep herself. The stylist did her hairstyle that framed and accentuated her face. With a brush of light make-up, Dana looks stunning more than ever. After that, she chose a dress that hugged her curves perfectly.
The moment when they arrived at the hotel still preoccupied, she realized that what was being held today was a large dinner with about 30 people. Among them, as Walker said, Dawn Roosevelt will also be there.
Dana and Walker are the last to enter the venue. Endowed with great facial features and physique, they are indeed an eye-candy. Dana looks beautiful with her evening low-cut dress. With Walker on her side, his aloofness and elusive aura that's been heightened with his black tuxedo, they both spectacular to look at.
As soon as they entered, Dawn, who was chatting with other government officials, was extremely shocked. Dana gave him a cold look and her gaze darted somewhere else. Next to him was Ann and Zoe who simultaneously frowned one after another. The atmosphere was a little awkward during the dinner. Dana felt that her left hand was clenched subconsciously by the man she was with. Then, an unfamiliar man stood up during their dinner.
"Please allow me to introduce an honored guest to everyone. This is our VIP today, the CEO of Situation Group- Boss Herbert!"
"The Situation?" When these two words came out, it undoubtedly has an overwhelming power known to the present people they are with.
Dana saw the Roosevelt family sitting opposite and the expression on their face was shocked. They were in the hospital when they first met Walker, but no one recognized him at the time. Only Zoe was overwhelmed by his handsomeness. Now that Zoe knew that he is the Executive Officer of the dignified Situation group, she immediately hates Dana.
" Boss Herbert, may we know who this charming lady is?"
After the introduction, he looked at Dana questioningly. Under his scrutinizing and inquisitive gaze, she lowered her head in embarrassment instinctively. All of a sudden, Walker's powerful grasp slammed directly on her waist. He pushed her out of the crowd and asked her to hold her head high.
"She is Dana Roosevelt, my girlfriend."
After his declaration, everyone was surprised. Gaining the center of attention, Dawn stood to question them but Ann abruptly pulled him down. "Dawn, don't do it."
"Political Commissar Gracie, she is here today."
The woman said in a voice that only them could hear. Since the announcement of Walker made the people's conversation raging, no one noticed the strangeness in them.
Zoe on the side was going crazy with jealousy. 'He's the President of Situation, how could he be hit by a woman like Dana!' The more Zoe thinks about it, the more her heart thumped violently in furiousness.
She couldn't let go of it until the dinner was halfway through. She wore an elegant red dress to be the center of attention but she was outdone by Dana. Filled with envy, she drank by herself.
While seeing Dana go out of the bathroom, Zoe hurriedly put down the goblet in her hand as she quickly followed her.
"Hello, where is the bathroom?" Dana asked a staff with an amiable smile.
"Downstairs, miss."
"Okay." Dana nodded, holding her high heels since her feet were swollen by the killer heels, and was about to go downstairs. However, Before the toe of her shoe touched the ground, a hand suddenly grabbed her.
"Dana Roosevelt." Two words were spat out by the woman with great trepidation. Her face suddenly became cold when she heard her voice.
"Let go."
"Dana, stop!" Zoe tightened her clasp on her and didn't let go.
"I have something to tell you!"
"I have nothing to tell you." With a cold snide, she dismissively jerked her hand away.
Dana was extremely annoyed when she saw this woman. 'I can't get rid of the flies every day. Is this fate?' She can't help but think.
"Zoe, I'll say it again. You let me go."
"Dana!"
"This is the stairs. Have you forgotten how you rolled down the stairs many years ago?" Dana finished speaking with a cold smile. It was ironic how the tables have turned. At this moment, Walker, who had been waiting in the hall, also came out. Zoe glanced at the reflection on the handrail of the stairs and saw Walker approaching. Immediately, she changed her face and acted.
"Dana, will you go home with me? My mother and I have been waiting for you to come home for so many years. Don't make a tantrum anymore, okay?"
Dana realized that her sister was starting to change her face again. She doesn't know what her intention is in doing an act and innocently pretending. The red and swollen area of her wrist was so painful because of her grasp. Dana raised her voice all of a sudden and can't bear anymore the pain.
" Zoe, you are sick! Let me go!"
"Dana stop." Zoe stopped her with a gentle voice, consciously knew that there is Walker attentively listening to them.
"Dana, come home with me. Dad said that when you were fifteen, you pushed me down the stairs and made me unable to play the piano for the rest of my life. You won't be held accountable anymore, as long as you go home. Ah!"
Her blaring cries resonated into the air. As Zoe said, she approached the stairs. Her scream, instability made when she was just about to fall. Dana's body shook all over in fright when her eyes saw a similar situation once again. All of her memories came back to her mind like a tide. The old scene was staged before her eyes! Zoe staggered and fell irreversibly.
It was like the night when she was kicked out of the Roosevelt family when she was fifteen. When the rainstorm thundered, Zoe also used this drama to make her lose her dad's affection forever.
She was stunned for a few seconds, completely motionless. However, before she could react, a towering figure suddenly appeared in time. With his powerful hand stretched out, he directly pulled the woman who was about to fall.
Zoe screamed in fright, spinning around. In the next second, she was already standing firmly on the ground. Zoe was rendered speechless and couldn't react for a few seconds. When she realized who the opposite man was, she was stunned.
It turned out to be Walker! She saw that he stood in front of her with his blank expression, looking at her with frowning eyes.
"Miss Roosevelt, are you okay?" Zoe stared at his handsome face and her heartbeat wildly. I froze for several seconds before squatting and answered with a weak voice.
"Yes, I'm fine." The man nodded and said nothing else. Instead, he turned around and looked down at Dana who was silent and pale beside him.
"Show me your hand."
"Huh?" Dana Roosevelt regained her senses but didn't realize what he was talking about.
"Your right hand."
"Oh..." Dana obediently stretched out his hands. Walker accepted it blankly. He glanced at it and examined her hands with a clenched jaw. No doubt, he saw a few obvious bloodstains on it.
"Who did this?" A few words were said by him with his low but hostile voice.
Several people have already walked out of the box at this time. From a distance, they saw the Roosevelt family's eldest lady, Dana, and Walker standing a few meters away from them. But because they are far away, they can't hear what they're talking about,
"What?"
"I'll ask you again, who made this." His intense gaze made Dana frozen.
