She made the bed neatly and took out the ones that were replaced. When she came in again, Loredana and Cormac had already finished eating. She cleaned up and put the dishes into the lunch box, “I’ll go back tonight. Can I come over tomorrow morning?”
Cormac was here so there should not be anything that needed her help.
“Yes,” He replied, took his clothes and went to the bathroom to take a shower.
When Coral who was carrying the food box saw him go to take a shower, she put it down, “I’ll leave after cleaning the bathroom. There can’t be water in the bathroom. Otherwise, one might easily slip and fall when going to the bathroom at night.”
The bathroom here was not separated into wet and dry ones so Coral was very careful. Even if the bathroom was non-slip, she was still afraid that accidents might happen. Cormac knew what was Coral worried about and said, “I’ll handle it.”
Coral looked at him with surprise, “When have you ever done such a thing? Besides, you definitely can’t do it well.”
Cormac felt that Coral underestimated him too much. Didn’t he just need to mop the floor, was there anything difficult about it.
“Coral, you may go back and rest. Let him mop the floor.” Loredana would like to see how was Cormac going to mop the floor.
She was with a little anticipation.
Coral felt that these two people were becoming more and more like a wife and husband. She said and agreed, “I’m leaving then.” She took the food box and left.
Cormac glanced at her and seemingly knew what was she thinking, “I can do a lot of things, you’ll find out later.”
Loredana smiled and did not say anything.
Cormac went into the bathroom to take a shower. After about half an hour, the sound of water dripping inside stopped. He came out wearing a bathrobe while wiping his wet hair. Loredana lay on the bed and looked at him while supporting her chin with her hand.
He walked over and pinched her cheeks, “Did you peek at me while I was showering?”
Loredana did not reply to that but reminded, “Remember to dry the water inside.”
Cormac felt that Loredana was looking down on him just like Coral who thought that he could not do it well. He was the president of a group who always handled projects that cost a hundred million and even billion yuan. But now, she actually looked down on him?
He threw the towel he used to wipe his hair onto the table and walked into the bathroom. He looked around and found that there was no mop at all. There were a few towels hanging below. He frowned slightly. Whether it was in the company or home, maids used a mop to mop the floor. How come there was no mop here, could it be that he had to use a towel?
He took one and threw it on the floor. He wiped it but the water was not absorbed by the towel. After wiping a few times, the amount of water was still the same and it did not reduce at all.
Loredana really could not help it anymore so she laughed, “The towel is wet, wring it until it becomes dry then it will be able to absorb water. If you don’t know, just say you don’t know, don’t try to be a hero.” Cormac was speechless.
He stood up and simply did not intend to wipe anymore. He put the pieces of towels on the floor so that it was not slippery.
Loredana was speechless.
This man was really wilful.
Cormac went to the bed and hugged her, “Let’s sleep, don’t always think about laughing at me.”
Loredana lay in his arms at ease, thinking that all people had something they were not good at. It was normal that he could not do housework. What he was good at should be how to put as much money as he could into his pocket.
This night, Loredana slept very soundly. When she woke up, Cormac was already awake. The bathroom door was open. He was standing in front of the mirror while buttoning his suit.
Loredana covered her eyes for a while. There was light in the room and she just woke up so she was not used to such light intensity.
It took her a while to be able to open her eyes properly.
Cormac walked over, “You’re awake? Are you hungry? Coral should be here soon.”
“Are you leaving now?” Loredana saw that he was already dressed in his clothes nicely.
“I’ll wait for Coral to come first.”
Only then he would leave.
Loredana moved her body, wanting to get up. Cormac hugged her. At this time, there was a loud noise at the door.
“You guys can’t enter.”
There were many footsteps and they were getting closer.
With a bang, the door of the ward was slammed open forcefully.
The person guarding the door lowered his head, “We couldn’t stop them.”000000
A group of men all in uniform stood at the door as if they came prepared.
The people at the door couldn’t stop them. Cormac tucked Loredana in and stood up straight.
The light in his eyes was harsh and fierce, “You guys move aside.”
The people who guarded the door went away.
The man in charge sounded official and took out an arrest warrant, “We are discharging our duties. Miss Flores is suspected of homicide and must come back to the police station with us to be investigated.” Cormac walked over. His aura, cultivated by years of dealing with various people, was like a pervasive net.
The man with the arrest warrant swallowed but didn’t move. Everyone knew who Cormac was, and so did he. But he was discharging his duties. In ancient times, whoever broke the law would be punished, no to mention today’s society where everyone was equal.
He reassured himself that there was nothing to be afraid of. He tried to be calm, “We are discharging our duties. Please be cooperative, Mr. Mendelsohn.”
This man was not Gilbert. He was a stranger.
Cormac glanced down at the arrest warrant in his hand, narrowed his eyes slightly, and said unhurriedly, “Discharge your duties? What if I don’t cooperate?”
The man straightened his neck, obviously trying to act tough as a police officer, but the words he said weren’t intimidating at all. He even flinched, “Obstruction is also a crime.”
“Okay then.” Cormac held out his hand, “You handcuff me. I’ll go back with you to be investigated.”
It was obvious that they weren’t Jeffery and Eddie’s people. He’d like to see who else.
The man was a little panicked. He was only instructed to arrest Loredana. He didn’t dare to arrest this man. He didn’t even dare to touch him, let alone put handcuffs on him.
Cormac unbuttoned two buttons on his collar with one hand, “If you feel difficult, you can let the person who gave you this order come. I’ve always had a bad habit of holding grudges. I don’t have much power, but I have money. How much would you say a person’s life is worth?”
The man was so scared that his legs went limp and he stammered, “It’s also against the law to pay for a homicide …”
Cormac sneered calmly. His tone was grim and harsh, “Whether I break the law or not is based on evidence. Do you have evidence? Don’t always talk about breaking the law. I’m tired of hearing that. Are you going to arrest me, or are you going to call your boss?”
The man looked like he was in a dilemma.
Loredana had her hands on her belly and didn’t make a sound. Cormac hadn’t told her what the situation had become. As the situation was unclear, she couldn’t interfere, let alone cause trouble for Cormac. The only thing she could do was to do nothing and leave everything to him.
A group of people blocked the door of the ward, but none of them dared to move.
The man thought for a moment, “I’ll go make a call.”
