A Successful Career After Divorce

Brendon looked at Ranita nervously. “You believe me!”

Ranita glanced at Shannon with a faint cold smile on her lips. She raised an eyebrow and said, “Oh! Got it.”

Hearing Ranita’s indifferent tone, Shannon immediately widened her eyes in grievance and said sweetly, “Ranita, Brendon is just helping out, you wouldn’t be so petty, right?”

“It’s just applying some ointment, nothing else.”

Ranita glanced at Shannon’s pale thighs. Nothing else? Shannon’s ability to disgust people was unmatched.

“Miss Murphy, the air conditioning here is quite strong, you should cover your legs to avoid catching a cold!” Ranita picked up a thin blanket and covered Shannon’s legs, then casually picked up the ointment. “Brendon is a man, it’s fine for him to help you apply ointment, but if someone else sees and misunderstands, it wouldn’t be good!”

Ranita sighed. “If Miss Murphy’s reputation is tarnished, Brendon would feel terribly guilty!”

“Should I help you? Or should I call a nurse?”

Ranita’s words almost made Shannon spit blood in anger. She just wanted to get close to Brendon and make others misunderstand. Now everything was ruined by Ranita…

That bitch!

Shannon cursed Ranita inwardly but had to maintain her sweet demeanor in front of Brendon. Biting her lip, she said pitifully, “Then I’ll trouble Ranita. It’s really great that you can help me.”

“No need to be polite!” Ranita had taken care of Brendon before and was now quite skilled. She took out a disinfectant swab, squeezed out some ointment, and smiled faintly. “Miss Murphy, I’m clumsy and rough-handed. If I hurt you, please bear with it.”

Ranita didn’t deliberately lighten her touch and casually applied the ointment to Shannon’s wound.

As expected, Shannon immediately cried out in pain. “Ouch… it hurts!” She pouted at Brendon. “Brendon, it hurts! Can you ask Ranita to be gentler?”

Ranita didn’t hold back and directly pressed the swab onto Shannon’s wound, then said nonchalantly, “Oh, sorry! I didn’t mean to!”

“You said it hurt, so I got nervous about hurting you more. The more I worried, the less control I had. Miss Murphy, don’t mind!”

“Sigh! I’m so clumsy!”

Ranita mimicked Shannon’s usual coquettish tone, her eyes welling up with fake tears and her voice particularly pitiful.

“Ranita… you…”

“I really didn’t mean it! Miss Murphy, if you don’t like me helping you apply ointment, I’ll call a nurse!” Ranita cut her off, calmly tossed the swab aside, and turned to leave.

As soon as Ranita left the room, Brendon followed her out.

He grabbed her hand and stayed close to her side, his dark eyes fixed on her. Ranita raised an eyebrow. “Why are you looking at me like that? Haha… Feeling sorry for her because I bullied her?”Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

Her tone was sour.

But Brendon was in a good mood. He wrapped his arm around her waist and smiled. “Why would I feel sorry!”

“You were so cute just now!”

Being called cute, Ranita gritted her teeth and retorted, “You’re the cute one!”

“I’m just angry… She was blatantly flirting with you, didn’t you notice?” Ranita said angrily and kicked him lightly. “Did you enjoy it?”
