A Spoonful of Sugar: Don’t Beg for Love

Chapter 482

Hesper shrugged her shoulders at Julian's somewhat surprised expression.

"Am I that kind of person who'll just give up because I'm afraid of a few setbacks?" Hesper said as she

patted her leg. "I'll only fail once. I know how hard it's for you to get this opportunity for me, so I won't

give it up."

Julian felt somewhat guilty facing Hesper's burning gaze.

To be precise, it was Rickard who got this opportunity for her, but he had Julian come forward to tell her

about it so that she would accept it.

Even until now, Julian still could not figure out why Rickard would let him come and take all the credit

despite knowing that he liked Hesper. Not only that, but Rickard bore a deep animosity towards him as

well. Did Rickard not want Hesper to know that he had done a lot for her as well?

"Ian?" Hesper stretched her hand forward and waved it in front of Julian's eyes. "Where are you staying

now? Do you need me to send you back? Daybreak is pretty influential in Antellon. Although you've

escaped from them, you still have to be more careful."

"Don't worry," Julian replied. He was pretty certain that Daybreak would not have the nerves to do

anything stupid since Rickard was there.

After that, he continued, "The reason Daybreak took my teacher and I is to make us treat someone's

illness. Now they don't need us anymore, they naturally let us go."

Hesper did not suspect anything. Julian had finished his job here, so he stood up.

"My teacher and I will come tomorrow to start your treatment. When will you be free?"

Hesper had already recovered, and she had to deal with Evon, so she had to go to work tomorrow.

"Let's do it in the evening. I'll try to schedule my work during the day," Hesper said. "Thank you, Ian."

Julian was silent for a moment before saying, "You shouldn't thank me. Anyway, I'll see you tomorrow."

Hesper was surrounded by her colleagues when she arrived at her company the next day.

"Are you alright, Ms. Rivera? We all heard that you're sick, and we're worried about you."

"That's right. Who the hell locked you up like that? You didn't know about it, but when we came to work

that day and saw the mess, we thought something big had happened and were scared to death."

A gush of warmth filled Hesper's heart. "Thank you, guys. I'm fine, but as for why I was locked up…"

She looked at Evon who had been sneaking a peek from outside the crowd, and smiled. "I don't really

know either. Maybe I accidentally offended someone since I'm not very good at talking." ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

"Don't be modest, Ms. Rivera. There aren't many talented, hardworking, and good-natured people like

you," Andries said, sounding a bit indignant. "Thank goodness you smashed the door and got out. That

person was too malicious."

"Okay, let's not talk about it now."

Pennleigh walked over to the crowd and clapped his hand. "I'll give Ms. Rivera a good explanation for

this matter. All of you should get back to your work. Ms. Rivera hasn't fully recovered yet. We should let

her rest more."

"It's okay, you don't have to worry about me," Hesper said, intentionally speaking louder. "I already

know who that person is. Although there was no electricity in the company, the surveillance cameras

outside were still working well."

"That's great."

Hesper's gaze swept over Evon in the distance and she saw him avoiding her gaze, seemingly aware

that she was looking at him. He quickly turned around and left.
