No More Waiting, She Chooses Love

Chapter 283



"What are you thinking? I'm sure Yates is into you," I said with conviction.

How Yates looked at Fanny was full of love. It was just that Fanny lacked confidence. And who could blame her? She had been silently crushing on Yates for years, too scared to confess because she felt he was out of her league. That also reflected her insecurities.

Maybe only Yates' direct response could heal her. That was something I, as an outsider, couldn't fully grasp, so I didn't need to waste my words.

"I'm heading back, girl. Get yourself dolled up for tonight, switch shifts in advance, and don't you dare stand him up, no matter how urgent things get," I practically mothered Fanny.

She laughed, sharing my sentiment. "Even my mom isn't as fussy as you."

Her mom was fussy because she didn't know Fanny was harboring a painful crush.

"Chin up, girl," I encouraged her with a fist pump before saying, "I'm off."

"Wait up. Come to the office with me," Fanny called out, stopping me.

"What for? I've got to find Ernest to discuss his sister's surgery plans," I reminded her.

Fanny still insisted. "It won't take long."

I didn't know what she was up to but followed her to the office, where she pulled a tube of cream from the drawer and handed it to me. "What's this for?" I asked, examining it.

Before I could figure it out, Fanny explained, "Clean up down there and apply this. It'll help with swelling and promote healing."
