Rules of Engagement novel Chapter 101

"You!" Right at this moment, Chloe came in. When she heard what Jane said, she was very angry. "What do you mean, Jane?"

"I mean what I said literally!" Jane said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner. Then she turned around and left.

"Stop! Make it clear!"

Jane didn't look back, "I have resigned. You are no longer my boss. I don't need to make it clear to you. Bye. "

Since Jane had left without any worries, Elsa knew that she must feel uneasy. There was no turning back. She couldn't go back to work in the hospital. If she gave up her

job in Ron's company, her life and economy would be in great trouble.

When Elsa was about to chase after her, Soren held her hand and said, "Leave her alone. I'll ask Bob to see her off. "

After a short while, Bob caught up with Jane. Chloe looked at Soren and Elsa, and was still angry with Ron. But she felt a little embarrass in front of others, so she said, "You can go back now. I'll take care of Ron."

She tried to help him, but how could she help the tall Ron?

Soren walked over to help Ron up and went downstairs. Chloe quickly followed them and told them the place where she parked the car. Soren put Ron in the car, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Where are we going?"

Chloe thought for a while and finally figured it out. "Let's go to my home. What if he vomited and suffocated... His mother is the only one at home. I'm afraid she can't take care of him. "

Soren drank some alcohol. And Chloe needed to take care of Ron. Seeing that, Elsa took the initiative to drive Chloe's car. And Soren indicated her the way. Then they went back to the Xu family.

After settling down Ron, it was already late. Soren's car, Bob, was driving. The two of them walked out of the Xu family's house slowly. There were no pedestrians on the road, and even few cars.

Although it was summer, it was a little cold at night. The two of them wore thin clothes, so Soren had to hold Elsa in his arms and waited for the car while walking.

He was abnormally tall, while Elsa was not short, but she was held in his arms. After waiting for a long time without a car passing by, he simply carried her on his back.

Lying on his back, Elsa's face was burning hot. She said in a low voice, "I don't know how is Janie now."

"It should be okay. Bob followed him. Don't worry." Soren replied, "Chloe have a fight with Ron for many years. I used to think that this was their unique way of getting along with each other, and that they were quarrelsome lovers. But Ron was drunk just now. He said that he had put all his attention on Chloe over the years, but he had not been happy at all. I didn't expect that. "

It was not easy for Elsa to judge other people's feelings, but she answered softly to show that she was listening.

Finally, they got in the car. Elsa couldn't help but call Jane. Jane said in a bright voice, "I made you worry about me. I'm really fine. I'm going to apply for a new company this afternoon. I'll go to work tomorrow without any delay. If can't stay here, I will have other place to stay. "

Hearing that she could still make fun of her, Elsa put down the phone and nestled beside Soren. At this moment, she was incomparably calm in her heart and cherished the peace between the two.

The second day was weekend. When Elsa woke up naturally, Soren was taking a shower in the bathroom after exercising. Her father was drinking tea in the living room, emitting a dense fragrance of tea, and the breakfast in the kitchen was fragrant.

Clinging to the soft quilt, Elsa stayed on the bed for a while. When she saw Soren come out of the bathroom while drying his hair, she quickly got up and put on her clothes. Soren handed her the glasses and said with a smile, "Let's go for a walk with father and mother today."

"Okay." Elsa put on her clothes and asked, "Where are we going?"

"Keep you in suspense. You'll know soon." Soren helped her smooth her collar.

Elsa was full of expectation for today's schedule. The feeling of becoming more and more dependent on him became a little obvious.

After the simple breakfast, the four of them walked out together. Without driving, Elsa thought they wouldn't go far. However, they walked to a bus stop and waited for the bus. Soren smiled and said, "Let's go to the suburb be taking a bus."

"Okay." Elsa held her mother's arm and said with a smile, "Mom, the Perilla leaf fish over there is very delicious. Let's have a try when we are free."

"Really?" Blanche looked at the direction she pointed happily, "Your father also likes eating fish. He must be happy."

"Okay," Elsa replied. The bus would arrive soon. Soren asked them to get on the bus first, and then he went to buy the tickets and got on the bus. The four sat in the last row. Soren briefly introduced the situation to them and said, "Have a rest first. We won't arrive until noon."

Recently, Elsa had slept a lot and was not sleepy at all. She looked out of the window at the blue sky and white clouds. The further their journey went on, the better the sky would be. The sky was as blue as if it had been washed by sea water, transparent, and people's mood became bright and clean. Soren held her hand and looked out of the window with her. By chance, there were birds flying across the sky, which made the quiet sky ripple.
