Boss,I'm Not Your Stand-in Gilrfriend

Chapter 9 Helping Hand

Layne no doubt helped me through difficult times. He simply let bygones be bygones, and I was very

grateful for it.

However, before I could express my gratitude, Layne grabbed my hand and said excitedly, "Darcey, I

know this money may not be enough, but it does not matter. I will make up the rest. But can you

contact me more in the future? If you need anything, just let me know so I have a chance to take care

of you."

I pulled out my hand as it was dipped in hot water. Layne was a married man. I had already been

betrayed by Roger. I could not let another family become unhappy. I said, "Actually, we are just

classmates. You saved that money hard. I can not take it. You should take it back."

Layne refused, and kept me from going. Just as I was about to free myself from his grasp, someone

rushed over and slapped me across the face. I lost my balance and fell to the ground.

The woman shouted, "You b*tch, how dare you seduce my man?!"

I looked up and saw that Layne had stopped her and pulled her outside. This was really unexpected. I

had not been to Layne's wedding to avoid embarrassment, so this was the first time I'd seen his wife,

and under such circumstances. I also saw that she was pregnant as well. I wondered, "Why are we all

pregnant women and she is so energetic?" This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Layne tried his best to stop the woman, but her strength was so great that she tore away from Layne

and rushed at me again. I quickly shielded my stomach and did not dare say anything for fear that I

would anger her further.

Just when I was about to despair, suddenly someone shouted to stop the woman "What are you

doing?"

As soon as I heard the voice, I knew it was Gavin. I immediately felt relieved for no reason. The woman

still said hesitantly, "Obviously she has a husband, but she still has the audacity to go out and provoke

others. That's really disgusting!"

Layne desperately signaled his wife to stop talking, and looked at Gavin with apologetic expression. I

immediately thought that they probably had a business relationship.

At that moment Gavin had no intention of attending to other matters. He took me in his arms, waved a

car over and drove to the hospital. I was in his arms the whole time.

When Layne's wife hit me, I curled up so she could not hurt me. I soon felt better after getting into the

car, while Gavin was still comforting me and stroking my hair lightly.

For a moment, I looked up at the anxious Gavin and felt even a little moved. But I knew that this would

never happen. I shook my head and dismissed the unrealistic fantasy.

Gavin saw me shaking my head and thought I was uncomfortable. So, he shouted at the driver, "Can

you hurry up? Don't you see that the patient is dying?"

The driver was innocent. We happened to run into a red light. There was nothing he could do even if he

wanted to be fast.

I said, "I'm fine. Why didn't you drive today?"

"I drove, but I was too scared and forgot. It's better that way, because I can watch you in the back seat,

so you will not get into another fight."

"What happened was not a big deal." I tried to protest.

"Is not this a great thing? Who is this woman? How did you provoke her? She even hit a pregnant

woman on the street!" He asked at the same time.
