Chapter 444 Tearful Complaints

“Ms. Garcia, you have had too much to drink. Why don’t you let Mr. Cadman send you back instead? It’s very dangerous for a beautiful woman like you to walk alone on the streets.”

“That’s right. There are bad people everywhere. Furthermore, you are leaving a karaoke bar. There will be many perverts eyeing you if you are unescorted.”

My colleagues tried to convince me to let Nicholas take me home.

Although I was irritated, I could not very well embarrass him in front of everyone seeing that he was our immediate superior. People might gossip about us in the future if I put Nicholas on the spot. Therefore, I remained silent in spite of my displeasure.

I said with a smile, “Thank you for your concern. Please enjoy yourselves. I’m not feeling well. I’ll make a move first.”

After that, I walked out of the private room with Nicholas following behind me.

Once we were out of the karaoke bar, I could not help but shiver when the cold air hit me. Now that it was late, it had become quite cold. I stood at the entrance waiting for a taxi. Since I drank, it was better I did not drive.

When Nicholas saw me shivering, he removed his jacket and placed it on me. In an instant, I was not cold anymore. Unfortunately, the moment he touched me, I instinctively removed his jacket from my shoulders.

“No, I’m good. Thank you.”

Wearing a man’s jacket felt too intimate. I had no wish to be so close to him.

Nicholas looked disappointingly at the jacket in my hand.

“Is there a need to be so distant between the two of us? Anna, aren’t we still friends? I was worried that you might catch a cold. That’s why I gave you my jacket. Please don’t think too much. I have no other intentions.”
