Chapter 2715
Leah was cleaning her clothes, and she was momentarily stunned when she heard what the man said. She raised
her head to look at him and smiled. “That’s not necessary. Thank you.”
After that, she left.
Dennis looked in the direction she had disappeared into as a playful smile appeared on his face.
After Leah came to the restroom, she took off her jacket. She tried to wash the coffee stain off her jacket but to no
avail. Therefore, she had no other choice but to wait until she got home before she could wash her jacket.
However, it seemed to her that the man named Dennis was overly enthusiastic.
‘Are all men in Stoslo as enthusiastic as him?’ she asked inwardly.
In the afternoon, Leah draped her jacket on her arm. A car stopped in front of her when she got out of the building.
The driver rolled the window down, and he was none other than Dennis.
“I’m really sorry about getting the coffee stain on your jacket this afternoon. I don’t mean anything. I just want to
buy a new jacket for you as an apology gift.”
Leah did not know why he was so insistent on buying her a new jacket. She had no other choice but to force herself

and say, “I accept your apology, Mr. Clarke, but you don’t have to buy me anything.”
“Alright then. Where are you living? I can drive you back. Just consider this a chance for me to redeem myself.”
Leah hesitated. They were colleagues, and since he was asking to send her home out of kindness, it would be very
rude for her to reject him.
Just when she was about to say yes, someone honked behind her, startling her.
Morrison poked his head out of the window and said, “Are you out of your mind? How can you simply get in
someone else’s car?”
Leah was rendered speechless.
Dennis looked toward Morrison and asked, “Is he your friend? What is he talking about?”
Dennis couldn’t understand their language at all.
Leah forced a smile onto her face and said, “I’m sorry. My friend has come to pick me up.”
She walked toward Morrison’s car, and he drove away after she got into his car.
Dennis looked at the car that was disappearing into the horizon and frowned.
Inside the car, Leah said helplessly, “He’s my colleague. He’s just being kind to send me home. You don’t have to do

that.”
“He’s being kind?” Morrison sneered. “You’ve only been here for a while. Do you know him well enough? How can
you let him send you home? Can you please use your head? If you let him send you back, he’ll know where you’re
living. Are you really not worried something might happen to you if he learns that you’re staying in a hotel?”
Leah was stumped, and she felt Morrison was right.
She pressed her lips and said, “He bumped into me today and spilled my coffee over my jacket. He wanted to
compensate me, but I said no, so he said he wanted to send me back as an apology.”
Morrison asked, “Did you reject him clearly?”
“Yes.”
“Did he say he wants to bring you to buy a new jacket?”
Leah was stunned. “H-How did you know?”
Morrison sneered and replied, “This is usually what men do to trick innocent and inexperienced women. If he spilled
your coffee and you rejected his gift, he wouldn’t keep on pestering you anymore. He wouldn’t offer to give you a
ride home at all.
“I might trust him if he said he wanted to bring you to a meal to ask for your forgiveness, but there’s no way a man
would spare the effort to offer to give a female colleague that he doesn’t know a ride home. It’s just impossible.”

Leah leaned on the back of the chair and fell silent.
After a short while, she suddenly asked, “Are you worried about me?”
Morrison frowned and looked ahead. “I’m not worried about you. I just don’t want you to get tricked by other
people.”
Leah smiled but did not say anything.
After arriving at the hotel she was staying at, she got out of Morrison’s car and said, “Thank you for the ride. I’ll go
back up first.”
Leah stepped into the hotel’s lobby.
When Morrison was about to leave, he saw Dennis’ car passing through the rearview mirror. He even slowed down
his car but drove away after realizing that Morrison was not leaving.
Morrison looked at the number plate and frowned.
At night…
Leah came out of the bathroom when she received a text message. Just as she was about to check the message,
the doorbell rang.
