Desperately...

Kelly's POV

I was driving my car to the company early in the morning when I saw a familiar man standing on the road side. He's talking to a man older than him and it seems to me that they're arguing. I parked my car and slowly walked towards them.

"Just accept it because I have an urgent meeting. Or if you want, you can just give me your contact and I'll have my assistant contact you about the damage."

The older man scoffed. "What do you mean? Are you trying to get away? Not because you're a rich foreigner doesn't mean you can get away from this. You run into me! My back is hurting."

I slowed down and tilted my head. Mr. Walter clenched his jaws. He's arguing with an older man on the street and I think the old man is actually harassing him.

"Excuse me..." I stepped in, unable to watch the drama anymore.

They both looked my way and the old man seemed shocked that I stepped in. He looked tense now-a sign that he's actually lying about his pain. "Miss Monroe..."

I smiled at Mr. Walter. "I saw you, so I stopped for a while. Is there something wrong?"

"No, I just..." he paused and sighed. "I accidentally hit him and he doesn't want to go to the hospital."

"You have an urgent meeting, right?"

"Yeah."

I nodded. "I'll take care of this, Mr. Walter. Your meeting is important. You should go.
