The Substitute Bride: Making Memories Of Us (Lois Stone)

As the elevator doors opened, Brian and Linda stepped out.

All of a sudden, she accidentally sprained herself while wearing her high-heeled shoes.

Luckily, he caught her before she hit the ground.Since he was already holding her, she decided to snuggle in his embrace.

"It's so painful! Ouch."  

"Please be careful, Miss Linda."

Although he wanted to let go of her, Linda clung even more tightly to his sleeve.At that moment, her feet couldn't support her.

"Mr.Clark, it seems that I sprained my ankle.I'm so sorry."

With widened eyes, Brian looked down and noticed her swollen ankle.

"We should hurry to the hospital."

Immediately, they walked out of the company building as he supported her.

"Well, Mr.Clark, I already reduced the swelling of Miss Linda's sprain.As long as she doesn't push herself too much and applies her medicine, she'll recover in a few days," the doctor told Brian.

"I understand."

After nodding, Brian assisted Linda as they left the hospital.

"Thank you, Mr.Clark," she said with a smile.

"It's no big deal.Let me drive you back to your hotel."

When they got to the car, he helped her get to the passenger seat.

Then, he sat in the driver's seat and started the engine.

Soon enough, they arrived at the hotel.

"Mr.Clark, I'm sorry to trouble you.However, since you're already here, why don't you accompany me for a while.You still haven't eaten dinner.The restaurant downstairs can prepare something for you if you ask them," she told him as she sat on the couch.

With a glance, Brian gave an indifferent reply, "No, it's fine.You better go to sleep early.Since you're injured, you can take a few days off to rest.You can get back to work when you recover."

"Is there something wrong, Mr.Clark? Do I scare you? Despite my enthusiastic character, I don't casually flirt with any man.Moreover, I injured my feet.Even if I'm planning to do something, I won't be able to do it, right?"

Linda immediately stopped Brian when he was about to leave.

He seemed reluctant to enter her room.Nonetheless, she wouldn't give up so easily.

Finally, she succeeded in convincing him.
