Chapter 1773 A Peaceful Distance Between Two Worlds
Yasmin looked at Ian standing before the building. She did not know what he said, but his words made the people in front of him turn pale.
Especially the one before him. The person glared at him before walking away.
Yasmin was dumbfounded.
What is he doing? Is he working outside school? Did that person glare at him because he did not do his job well?
Yasmin’s expression darkened.
She had worked many jobs before because her family was not affluent. To help reduce the financial burden at home, she had to find work whenever there was a holiday.
Furthermore, she frequently came across employers who refused to pay her on time.
Therefore, Yasmin burst into fury. She even forgot that she was angry with Ian.
“Hey, what are you doing? I’ll call the police!” Yasmin rushed to Ian and stood before him like a hero coming to save a ‘damsel’ in distress.
Ian was stunned.
Even the few people from Hayes Corporation were stunned to see a girl suddenly rush out from nowhere.
What is going on? Does she want to call the police? Why does she want to do that?
“Miss, you—” a woman began to explain.
Yasmin interrupted the woman and warned her sternly, “Don’t bother explaining. I know what you are planning to do. You must have thought Ian is underaged, so you refuse to pay his salary. I’m telling you, that’s nonsense. If you don’t pay him his salary today, I will report to the police and the Department of Labor. I will make sure you can never open your business again!”
There was another moment of pin-drop silence.
Then, the woman named Yvonne came back to her senses. She looked at the raging girl and wanted to explain. However, Ian also recovered from his daze and spoke first.
“You guys should leave,” Ian said.
“Sure,” Yvonne replied, and the group of people left immediately.
Yasmin saw them leaving and turned to glare at Ian. “Why did you ask them to leave? You haven’t gotten your pay yet.”
Ian was confused.
Salary? What nonsense is she mumbling now? Is she out of her mind?
Ian ignored her and turned around to leave.
However, he had just begun walking when she pulled him back again.
Ian was rendered speechless.
Yasmin said, “Fine, I won’t scold you any more, but you must be more careful next time. Let me send you home.”
“Send me home?” Ian asked.
“Why? You don’t want to go home? What are you going to do? Don’t tell me you are going after that group of people alone.” Yasmin’s beautiful face darkened instantly.
Yasmin had a rich imagination. Sometimes, one wondered what her brain was made of that she came up with such unusual thoughts.
In the end, Ian let her pull him away.
His leg was injured, and it was hard for him to walk.
Yasmin did not hesitate to help him. She held his arm as she half supported and half dragged him to a bus stop near the building.
Ian was furious…
“Don’t worry. I will help you to get the money back!” Yasmin said.
Ian did not know how to respond.
He looked down at Yasmin tying his shoelace. Initially, he was bursting with anger and wanted to shout at her. However, after hearing her words, his angry words became stuck in his throat. He could not bear to scold her.
The shoelace that loosened was from the shoe on his injured foot.
As he had a bandage on his foot, he could only tie the shoelace loosely before leaving the apartment. Thus, the shoelace unraveled when Yasmin dragged him to the bus stop.
Ian watched in daze as she helped him tie it up.
Then, she brought him onto a bus and found a seat for him.
He felt lost as he let her drag him around. However, when he sat down, he suddenly noticed how crowded the bus was. Furthermore, he was unfamiliar with the surrounding. Thus, a sudden wave of panic rushed to his head. He became tense and broke out in cold sweat.
“No!” He finally stood up to rush off the bus.
Unfortunately, the bus began to move. The sudden movement unbalanced Ian and caused him to fall forward.
“Hey, what are you doing? The bus is moving. It’s dangerous to move around.”
“That’s right. What are you trying to do?”
The other passengers saw him and quickly pulled him back while scolding him.
Ian’s expression turned worst.
His face was as pale as a sheet, and sweat covered his forehead. Furthermore, his usually bright and beautiful eyes now seemed threatening and mad.
It seemed he would jump off the bus if no one stopped him.
“Is he a lunatic? Why does he look so scary?” asked one of the passengers.
“He does look scary. Perhaps… Let’s call the police. Could he be crazy?” another passenger suggested.
“Don’t touch him anymore!” a passenger shouted.
The other passengers saw his strange behavior and flinched as if he had an infectious disease.
Ian began shaking severely.
A pair of fair and slender arms reached out and held Ian in the nick of time. Then, she stood before Ian and scolded the passengers crowding around him. “What the heck are you saying? It is only motion sickness. Watch your mouth!”
Yasmin’s words were stern, and her expression was cold and intimidating.
Therefore, the other passengers finally shut their mouths. No one dared to say anything about Ian anymore.
Then, Yasmin held Ian firmly with one hand and reached out hurriedly to press the bell pull.
