Chapter 938 Silent Mode (3)

"Will you go back in the future?" Stephanie asked after taking a sip of the red wine.

"After the work here is over, I should go back. Why do you ask me this?" John looked at Stephanie and chuckled.

"Nothing." Stephanie felt it was really strange. She had been on guard against John before. However, when Stephanie heard what he said, she was inexplicably reluctant to part with him.

"You can't bear to part with me, right?" John looked into Stephanie's eyes and asked. He looked very charming. Stephanie tried to shake her head, but she unconsciously nodded. "Yes."

John looked Stephanie in the eye.

Across the chessboard, John leaned over to Stephanie. Stephanie froze at once. However, John stopped and asked, "Will you kick me if I kiss you?"

A few seconds ago, Stephanie was nervous. But now, she was amused, "You..."

Before Stephanie could finish speaking, John kissed her.

Stephanie's mind went blank. Apart from filming, she had not kissed anyone for a long time. However, Stephanie was not repulsed. When John tried to stick his tongue down her throat, Stephanie pushed him away.

"Sorry..." Stephanie stood up and walked out.

John quickly took a few steps forward and stopped Stephanie. "I should apologize. Did I scare you?"

"No." Stephanie lowered her head and thought of her ex-boyfriend. They had been extremely close to each other. However, later, Stephanie discovered that her ex-boyfriend was just pretending to be nice, so she was deceived. Thinking of this, Stephanie was not sure if John was deceiving her. Although Christy told Stephanie not to worry about too many things, Stephanie was worried and afraid.

Stephanie had poor psychological endurance. Otherwise, she would not have been depressed for so long or tried to commit suicide.

"What's up?" John thought for a moment and asked, "Do I have a bad breath?"

Stephanie was amused with a smile playing in her eyes. "No..." She bit her lower lip, saying in a soft and shy voice. "It smells like wine. I like it.

"Then why did you push me away?" John asked.

Stephanie lowered her head and did not reply.

"Well." John picked up the handbag on the sofa. "It doesn't matter if you don't want to tell me. I will give you a ride home'

They walked out side by side. When they arrived at the door of Stephanie's room, John handed the handbag to Stephanie. When Stephanie reached out to take it, John did not let go of it.

"Good night; John said.

"Good night-"

Stephanie took her handbag and walked into the room.

In the middle of the night, Stephanie received a call from the police station and was told that the person who escaped from Relax Room was found. Hearing this, Stephanie heaved a sigh of relief. She looked at the phone and saw it was two o'clock in the morning, but she was no longer sleepy. Stephanie wanted to chat with someone. However, everyone she knew might well fall asleep. When Stephanie saw Harold's name on the phone, she made a call to him after thinking for a moment.

Stephanie was surprised that Harold was awake now. Therefore, the moment Harold answered the call, Stephanie asked, "Why are you still awake?"

"What's wrong? What happened?" Harold's voice sounded very clear, and he always stayed awake. Stephanie couldn't figure out whether Harold needed sleep.

"Nothing. I just can't sleep, so I wonder what you are doing."

"I'm sleeping, Harold said in a low voice.

"Then why are you talking to me on the phone?" Stephanie lay on the bed and looked up at the ceiling with a relieved smile on her face. "Why do you stay up so late?"

Harold said, "I was sleeping, but the phone rang"

"Why didn't you turn on the silent mode?" Stephanie asked curiously. "We always turn off our phones or turn on the airplane mode when sleeping. Why didn't you turn on the silent mode?" "Nobody but you will call me,' Harold said.

Words failed Stephanie.

On second thought, Stephanie found Harold was right.

"What happened?" Harold asked.

"It's nothing. I can't sleep, so I want to chat with you." Stephanie yawned. "Well, I'm sleepy now. I'm going to sleep."

Harold said at the other end of the phone, "You can call me at any time. I am always here for you."

For some reason, Stephanie was touched by Harold's words with tears trickling down her cheeks. Stephanie spent nearly half her life acting and performing to make money for her adoptive parents, so she always wanted to escape from this place. Harold was the first one who told her that she could call him at any time.'

Stephanie burst into tears and felt very sad. She told Harold everything that had happened today in a broken tone. "They spoke in a hurry and were very cruel. I wanted to throw a fit, but after thinking about it, calmed down. After all, I'm responsible for it. I didn't expect it when I decided to run Relax Room, so I..."

Stephanie stopped.

Stephanie was badly treated.

However, Stephanie couldn't say it to anyone else. Although the problem was solved, she remained worried. Stephanie knew she would encounter all sorts of difficulties, but she wouldn't be able to handle them. She would even meet more mean customers.

Hence, Stephanie wanted to talk with someone who would do nothing but quietly listen to her. Stephanie didn't need comfort.

Harold was a rather good listener. He listened quietly until Stephanie said that she was tired. Then Harold said, "Go wash your face and put a warm towel on your eyes, or you will look very ugly tomorrow."

Stephanie nodded and fell asleep as soon as she lay down on the bed with a warm towel on her eyes. She even forgot to hang up the phone.

Harold didn't hang up the phone until he heard her gentle breath.
