My face and hands were almost numb from the cold.

I don’t know how long I walked, and finally arrived at the pharmacy.
The shop owner looked at me in surprise, then quickly poured me a cup of hot water. “It’s cold outside, why are you still wearing slippers?”
I held the paper cup. feeling the warmth seeping through my palm, and my hand finally regained some sensation.
I rubbed my almost frozen face and smiled at him, saying, “I rushed out and forgot to change.”
I paused and said to him, “Help me get two boxes of painkillers.”
“Ah. okay.”
The shop owner quickly handed me two boxes of painkillers, packed in a bag.
I paid the money and was about to leave.
He suddenly shouted at me, “It’s snowing outside, why don’t you wait until the snow stops before you leave? There’s heating in my shop.”
“No, thank you,” I smiled at him and said calmly, “Someone is waiting for me to deliver the medicine back in a hurry.”
I said, and then I walked outside.
The boss’s voice murmured from behind: “Even if you are in a hurry, I can’t let you come over in the middle of the night in the wind and snow to buy medicine, right?”

Yeah, just hang in there, and this night will soon
e over.
But Reynaldo was anxious, he couldn’t bear to see Kimberly suffer for another minute.
Coming out of the store, the sudden temperature contrast made me shiver unexpectedly.
I tightened my down jacket even more and walked towards the hotel with my head buried.
Suddenly, a black luxury car stopped beside me.
I slowly raised my eyes and looked out. The car window rolled down, revealing Matthew’s mischievous and sinister face.
I stared blankly into his dark eyes, with no reaction at all.
It’s not that I didn’t want to react, but I felt like the whole me had been blown silly by the cold wind, my head was numb.
Matthew smiled at me and said, “Hey, how come Mr. Humphrey’s secretary is walking alone on the street, and… looking so disheveled?”
His playful gaze ran from top to bottom on nie, lingering for a few seconds on my slippers.
I said quietly, “Buy medicine.”
After saying that, I continued walking forward.
Suddenly, he got off the car and stood in front of me with a few big steps.
The people here were all burly, and Matthew was especially tall, wearing a black coat, standing in front of me, very imposing.
I frowned at him and asked, “Mr. Galatea, is something wrong?”
24D
Didn’t Johnathan go to Seabed Club with Matthew?
And wasn’t Reynaldo saying that Johnathan was drunk as a skunk? But why does Matthew seem completely sober.
Matthew had one hand in his pocket, the other holding a cigarette, looking at me with a playful expression on his face.
The cold wind was whistling in my ears, and I was so cold that I couldn’t stand it. I said to him, “Mr. Galatea, I have something to do, so I’ll go back first. Next time, I’ll invite you for a drink.”
After saying that, I walked towards his side.
He suddenly took a deliberate step to the side and blocked me again.
“Mr. Galatea?” I furrowed my brow even more, feeling a bit annoyed.
Matthew blew a smoke ring, his gaze sweeping over my slippers, finally landing on my neck. He smirked at me and said, “Ms. Duffy, did you do half of it with Mr. Humphrey and then run out?”
Wow, is Mr. Humphrey really that bad? He had such a gentle and kind demeanor, yet he still had the heart to kick you out.
