Chapter 668

I couldn’t help but sigh. After looking at Armond, who was on the phone, I handed the bag to Nora andsaid, “Alright, I’ll go get it. Wait here for me.”

“Wow! Thank you, Scarlett.” A joyful smile spread across her face.

Armond spoke into the phone with a low grunt. “I’ve taken the goods and handed them over. Recentlyyou…”

When he glanced back, he saw me and was taken aback. Then he quickly said into the phone, “I’ll talkto you later. I’m hanging up now.”

After that, he turned to me and asked, “What’s wrong?”

I was a little embarrassed. All this while I was staying at his place and being a burden to him. Rightnow, I was really pushing my luck by asking him to lend me some money.

But I’ve already made a promise. I couldn’t return empty-handed now.

After some thought, I said, “Mr. Murphy, can I borrow some money from you, please? My friends wouldlike to buy some stuff to bring home to their family members.”

He was stunned for a moment, but he smiled and replied, “Sure.”

From his pocket, he whipped out a black card and said, “Here you go. There’s no credit limit.”

I looked at the card in his hand and felt a little confused. “That’s too much. All I need is just a fewthousand. I…”

“Don’t think too much of it. I only have this card on me,” he said as he looked at me indifferently.

I was surprised, but I reached out and took the black card from him. Sighing inwardly, I said, “I cannever understand the rich.”

Some of the women lost themselves with the card. They bought a lot of products after going around adozen of the branded stores in the airport.

Fortunately, they managed to control their shopping impulse. That was only because they were in ahurry to make it through security checks to board the plane.

At the security checkpoint, I rummaged through my bag for a long time and realized that my air ticketand entry letter were lost.

The paperwork that Armond had spent an effort to get for me was completely lost.

“Wasn’t it in your bag just now? I watched you put it in the bag. It’s impossible for you to lose it.” Noratook the bag from me and searched the bag again. She couldn’t replace the air ticket and letter in the bageither.

Nora pondered for a moment and said, “I was holding the bag just now, and I didn’t overturn it. Could itbe that it was lost at one of the shops we visited just now?”

Tabitha grew anxious. Looking at the time, she said, “We only have half an hour left. This is a bigairport, and it’ll take us a while to get to the boarding gate. If we delay anymore, we might miss theplane.”

Laurel nodded and began to panic.

Tessa looked at me and said, “Scarlett, why don’t you continue to replace the documents here by yourself,and we will wait for you at the boarding gate?”

“No way! What if she can’t replace it? Do you want to leave her here all by herself?” Nora said angrily.

I looked at the time. There was not enough time, and that’s considering that we would need some timeto get to the boarding gate after passing through the security check.

After thinking about it for a while, I looked at them and said, “You guys go ahead, go replace the boardinggate first. I’ll go back and look for the documents. It won’t be a problem.”

“But…” Nora looked worried. “But what if you can’t replace it? We won’t be able to come out once we goin.” After a pause, she said, “How about this? I’ll go with you to replace it. Anyhow, I’m not in a hurry to goback. I’ll stay here to accompany you if we can’t replace it. There’s nothing much to do back home anyway,so it’ll be just like a few days of holiday over here.”

Tessa laughed. “I didn’t know you have bonded so well with Scarlett. Are you using her to climb theladder because of her connections and family background?”

“You…” Nora fumed at Tessa’s ridiculous remark.

I stopped her and said, “It’s okay. Don’t worry about me. I’ll be fine by myself.”

“I’ll go with you,” Nora said stubbornly. She was a strong-willed person and would never allow anyoneto tell her what to do. After saying that, she took my hand and pulled me out.

I was helpless and I said nothing more.

I felt someone was following us, so I turned around to take a look. To my surprise, it was Armond tailingafter us. I said to him, “Go ahead to the boarding gate.”

He replied blandly, “No. The plane might be delayed. No worries.”

“How would you know that the plane will be delayed?” Nora asked. “You don’t own the airport.”

Armond smiled and said, “It’s going to pour soon. They will definitely delay the flight for safety reasons.”

Nora was stunned. She leaned closer to me and said softly in my ear, “I replace Armond unfathomable. Areall young rich men like that?”

“Not necessarily,” I said with a laugh.

After searching through a few shops, we still couldn’t replace it. Nora started to panic and said, “I carriedyour bag properly just now. There’s no way I could have dropped it.”

She paused and was deep in thought. Then she said, “Let’s search again.”

I stopped her and said, “Forget it. I probably left it in the villa or dropped it somewhere. Why don’t youjoin back the girls? I’ll go and prepare for the paperwork again.”
