Genius Girl-Chapter 26 - 26: Claire's advise

Chapter 26 - 26: Claire's advise

Sitting on the toilet bowl quietly, Daniella took a deep sigh. Heart has been pounding uncontrollably as she watched Robert patching the silicon on her legs.

She's going to wear a long sleeve dress, so all she needs to hide was her legs.

"Daniella, do you like Evan?" Robert suddenly asked. After making sure that the silicon was firmly attached to her legs, he got up.

"And don't even deny it. I know you. You have never stuttered in front of a man and Scott just told me that you kissed him again in your apartment. If you like him, you're going to have to tell him the truth," he exhaustingly said.

"I don't like him, Robert," Daniella let out a bitter smile.

"Stop lying Daniella," he scoffed, head shaking with disbelief.

"I am not lying to you Robert," she replied, looking confusedly at him.

"No Daniella, you are not lying to me. You are lying to yourself," those words shocked her.

Her eyes lowered from looking at the giant, her lips quivered as she avoided his eyes.

Then Robert squatted on the floor, he placed both hands on her legs and lamented.

"Daniella I know you have been hurt. Physically and emotionally but you should no-, you must find someone that can be with you," saying those words with eyes shinning with sadness, Robert seized her hands.

She was just quiet – avoiding his eyes.

"Hey," his hand traveled to her head and patted it lightly.

"If he hurts you. I am going to beat him up and I don't care that he is Evan Su. If he makes you cry, we will tear his eyes apart."

Daniella chuckled, seeing the veins popping in Robert's neck has made her realized that he will always have her back.

"I will take that in mind but, I don't like him, ok? He's mysterious but, I wouldn't go on that road again. I was stupid once for believing that I can have a normal life but well, life sucks so yeah. I don't like Evan," her head was slightly nodding, convinced with what she was saying.

Robert sighed, there's no reason for him to waste and explain that. Even though she's denying it, her eyes shining in blue as she mentioned Evan's name definitely contrasted her word.

He then decided to leave the bathroom.

Since the warehouse only has three rooms and a huge open space, Robert could see from his position that Evan and Scott were having a serious conversation.

The warehouse - full of spider webs and other insects has a wooden couch a few meters away from the entrance. It was filled with other medical equipment which they sometimes use to sleep or sit on.

He could see the confusion on Evan's face after he went out of the bathroom where Daniella was. He sneered. Any man would think that he and Daniella have a relationship since he went and stayed in the bathroom with her for a long time.

But the thought has made him want to puke, Daniella is like a sister to him.

He never had a sister so he felt extra protective to Daniella.

He sighed and walked towards Evan.

In the other side, Evan has been wondering where Daniella is. When the blonde man who introduced himself as a Scott told him that she was in the bathroom, he felt relieved. He thought she had run away.

When he heard a door opening, he turned at the direction of the bathroom, confusion plastered on his face as soon as the man named Robert came out from the bathroom.

He remembered him, he was the waiter in the bar and the one that served them the wine.

His hands-on his laps clenched into fists. An indescribable feeling rose in his chest, making his heart to pound uncontrollably.

When Robert stopped in front of him, Evan got up. Surprised painted on his face when Robert extended a hand.

"Hi, I am Robert," he introduced.

"Evan Su," voice full of confusion as he speaks.

Standing in front of Robert, he needed to look up a little. The man was so tall, and he had a built bigger than Scott.

Then Robert chuckled.

"Mr. Su, I hope you didn't mind that I spiked your drink the other night. I was just doing my job," Robert said, scratching a hand on his head like a shy little boy.

Evan was dumbfounded, seeing a huge man acting embarrassed was something he didn't expect.

He cleared his throat and said it's alright.

Evan sat back on the wooden chair, it creaked a bit but, he didn't mind it.

"So, you and Ms. Chen, are you two a couple?" he made it sound casual.

Scott and Robert looked at each other and out of nowhere, they laughed at the same time.

Their laugh echoed in the warehouse, it was deep and full of entertainment.

Evan pressed his lips together, based on their laugh, he realized that they are not taking his question seriously.

When the two stopped, Evan parted his lips to ask another question but they once again laugh.

This time, he could see the tears shining in their eyes, hands were on their stomach as they continued laughing.

Evan's face went poker, wondering if they are laughing at him or to his question.

"Sorry," Robert said, wiping the tears in his eyes.

"No, Mr. Su. Daniella is not my girlfriend or Scotts'. You might not believe it but that dwarf is our boss," Robert let out a sigh - stopping himself from further laughing.

"Boss? What business does she do?" he asked.

Scott and Robert had suddenly become quiet. They were both looking at each other.

Evan rose an eyebrow, realizing that the two won't speak about Daniella.

Out of nowhere, an old woman in a doctor coat came closer.

She stood in front of Evan.

"Hi. I am Claire Bole. You must be Evan Su."

Evan got up, he accepted her hand and firmly shook it.

"Yes. It's a pleasure to meet you." He replied. Through all the time, his face was either confused or flat, his lips didn't even give them a smile.

"The pleasure is mine, Mr. Su. Finally, I get to meet the man who made my Daniella panic." Claire laughed teasingly, then she handed him a paper.

His eyes lowered and as soon as he finished reading it, he looked at the doctor with a perplex expression.

Claire winked at him, "She hates mushroom. Make sure that the food doesn't have sesame. Let it be oil or the snacks and most importantly, she loves amus.e.m.e.nt park."

Evan gulped, the paper on his hand seemed to be the list of things he should and should not do while on a date with Daniella.

He was still stunned when the doctor left. Then he sat back, the face was confused as he stared at the paper.

"Robert," he called out the name of the man sitting next to him.

"Yeah,"

"Can you read this to me? I can't read it," he said with a complex face.

"I don't know man. Claire is a doctor; you're going to have to ask a pharmacist to read it."
