Chapter 36 - 34: Captured Again
After parking the car, she led Maya Spencer into a Shanghai cuisine restaurant. The restaurant had an ambiance perfect for romance.
However, after settling Maya Spencer in, the man said to her, "Classmate, please sit for a while, I’ll be right back."
"Oh!" Maya Spencer replied coldly, watching the man leave the restaurant.
Sitting at the table, she flipped through the menu, not daring to order because she didn’t have enough money. So she just sat in front of the table drinking lemon water, wondering whether the man had already left, whether he had abandoned her here deliberately to embarrass her, to avenge the grudge of her throwing shoes at the car.
Moments later, the man returned, carrying two bags, one large and one small. Maya recognized the large bag; it contained a shoebox.
Looking at the shoebox in the man’s hand, she held her breath and instinctively felt the shoes were meant for her.
With wide eyes, she watched the man closely. After their gaze collided, the man smiled at her, his smile very gentle.
When he reached her table, he knelt on one knee in front of Maya, placing her shoeless right foot on a nearby chair. He took out bandages from the small bag and cleaned her sole with pure water.
Maya felt embarrassed instantly, quickly pulling her foot back and refusing the man’s kindness.
"The weather is hot, if the wound isn’t treated, it might get inflamed." Saying this, the man grabbed her foot again, continuing to clean it.
