This night, Elizabeth couldn't fall asleep.
She lay on the bed tossing and turning and couldn't fall asleep. She kept thinking about who would frame her like that.
She thought about all the people who were likely to do that. But they were all denied by her in the end.
The more she thought about it, the more confused she was. The more confused she was, the harder she would think about it.
Because if she could not find that person or any clues in two days, she was very likely to be arrested. If all the evidence pointed to her, she would definitely have to compensate Kuture's losses. She would pay a large sum of compensation and no one would dare to hire her again in the future.
However, she had not done anything. Why did she have to bear it?
Elizabeth didn't fall asleep until six o'clock in the morning. But because she was so worried and anxious, she kept having nightmares.
She slept very restlessly. Then she was awakened by the ringing of her phone.
When she heard it, she couldn't tell whether it was a dream or a reality at first. After opening her eyes and waiting for a long time, she reacted in a daze.
She grabbed the mobile phone on the bedside table and looked at it. It was Leo's call.
"Hello?" She had just woken up, and her voice was still a little hoarse.
"Are you still sleeping?" Leo asked from the other end of the phone.
"Yes." She grabbed her hair and sat up from the bed. She leaned against the bed and put down her mobile phone to take a look at the time. It was already half-past ten in the morning.
"Aren't you going to work today?"
Elizabeth, who had sobered up a bit, instantly became a little sad because of his question.
Work? Where could she go to work now?
"No." She lowered her eyelids and looked at the blue flower on the quilt, "Why are you calling me?"
"Why am I calling you?" On the other end of the phone, Leo repeated the words again. His tone changed. He said to her with a little anger, "Little Bunny, do you think of me as a friend?"
"What?" Elizabeth was stunned by his roar, "What do you mean?"
"Why didn't you tell me about what happened to you yesterday?"
Upon hearing this, Elizabeth immediately asked, "You... you already knew that?"
"If I hadn't gone to Kuture for business today, how could I know now? If you didn't tell me, how could I know?" It seemed that he was really angry, and then he shouted, "Didn't you say that we are good friends? Do you always never tell your friends anything? Why don't you tell me first? Why?"
This was the first time Elizabeth saw him angry.
Although he was not in front of her, it could be found from his voice that he was very angry.
Although it sounded like Leo was angry, Elizabeth could not help but feel a little warm in her heart. She sighed softly and said, "I'm sorry. I'm not in a good mood. I didn't think of that at all." Moreover, even if she really wanted to talk to someone, she would not go to him subconsciously.
Perhaps it was Elizabeth's words that made Leo feel better, so he said in a slightly better tone, "I heard that you told Lisa to give you two days? Do you have any clues?"
"Not yet." If Elizabeth found any clues, she would not be so distressed.
"..." Leo's breathing was heavy. After a few seconds, he said, "Come out. I'll think about it with you!"
Elizabeth was stunned and felt very touched, "You..."
"I'll go out to pick you up right away, okay?"
"No..." Elizabeth refused.
"I said I'll pick you up! Didn't you hear me?"
"No need." Elizabeth shook her head gently, "I want to think about it myself at first..."
The airport was a little far from South Lake. By the time she arrived, it was already 1:30 pm.
She found a seat and sat down. While waiting for James, she was thinking about the thing that gave her a headache.
It took her a long time to think about it. When she came to her senses and checked the time, it was already 3 pm.
James hadn't called her yet. Was it because he didn't see her and leave, or because the plane was late?
The previous possibility was not high, so she sent him a message to see if he had got off the plane: James, haven't you arrived yet?
After a long time, she did not receive any reply.
She thought that he might still be on the plane and waited patiently for half an hour. But she not only didn't see James, but didn't receive any message from him.
She frowned and didn't know what he was doing. She thought, even if the plane was really late, he would have told her in advance.
After thinking about it for a while, she couldn't help but call him. His phone could get through.
As she waited for him to pick up the phone, she kept thinking that she would have to curse him a little when he picked up.
But until the phone automatically hung up, he didn't pick it up.
She pursed her lips and didn't know if he was busy or there was something else.
A few minutes later, she dialed his number again. After a few sounds, the phone was finally picked up by him.
"James, you..."
"Young Madam, it's me. Samuel."
"Hello, but... Why are you answering the phone? Where is James?"
