You're The Best Medicine For Me

Chapter 37: He Broke the Heels of Her Shoes

Shirley cried out in alarm and started to pound on his back with both her fists while her legs kept

swinging as she tried to put up a struggle, “Let me down, Bryan!”

“I don’t want any other woman to be my date tonight. All I want is you.” He marched into the building in

a determined and domineering manner as he had no intention to talk it over with her, and her refusal

was completely out of the question.

After she was being put down in the dressing room, she could not escape even if she had wanted to as This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

a horde of makeup artists had surrounded her completely.

Shirley was finally able to come out from the dressing room after exactly one full hour of makeup and

styling.

Bryan whom was seated on the sofa while reading a newspaper in his hands had raised his head

slowly to gaze at her after noticing that she had emerged.

She had been put in a white evening gown whereby the hem of her dress was just until the middle of

her thighs, hence her slim and slender legs had been exposed while her neck was draped with a

diamond necklace.

Her facial features were already exquisite and dimensional enough, hence she had always looked

gorgeous and stunning even without any makeup on her face. Now that her face had been applied with

some makeup, her countenance was glamorous and alluring as if it had been meticulously painted.

Her beauty had instantly taken Bryan’s breath away for a moment as his eyes scanned her body from

the top to the bottom in amazement.

Shirley frowned furiously and growled, “You’ve gone too far, Bryan.”

He put down the newspaper in his hand and glimpsed at his watch, “The timing is just nice as we will

arrive just in time.”

“I’ve told you that I don’t like those kinds of events. How hard is it for you, the Moore family’s young

master, to find another woman to be your partner for the ball?” She immediately went straight to the

other side of the room to grab her perfume sachet, and she promptly turned around and left the room in

a vexed manner.

Bryan hurriedly got up from his seat and trotted behind her to catch up with her.

She faintly turned her head sideways to cast a glance, and when she had caught a glimpse of his figure

following closely beside her, she quickened her pace and marched towards the side of the road.

However…

Before she could even beckon for a taxi, Bryan had grabbed her arm and dragged her back to him.

“Ah…” She let out a low cry from the sudden jerking movement, and the next moment her whole body

had been thrusted into his arms.

He pressed his hands on her thin waist as he frowned and explained patiently, “I have my reason for

bringing you there. This masquerade ball is organized by Mr. Stewart, so if you still don’t want to attend

it, suit yourself then."

After he had given her his explanation, he promptly took his hands off her and strode in the opposite

direction.

Shirley was stupefied by his words as she was transfixed on the spot for a few seconds.

Mr. Stewart!

How she was not informed of her master’s return to the country at all?

Why did Bryan insist to take her to the masquerade ball which was being held by her master on

purpose? Was he in the know about her relationship with Mr. Stewart?

No, that was impossible. Her relationship with Mr. Stewart had always been kept as a secret, plus Mr.

Stewart had never announced it to the outside world before.

Therefore, the reason that Bryan had wanted to bring her to meet Mr. Stewart was purely because of

her…

A black vehicle had sped by her at that moment which had caused Shirley to snap back to her senses.

She instantly turned around to look at the spot where Bryan had parked his car earlier, but there was

no sign of a black Rolls Royce anymore.

Shirley immediately clenched her fists and shouted, “Hey…”

She started to run after the car that had passed her by just now as she yelled, “You jerk, stop the car

now, Bryan.”

“Ah…” Shirley suddenly fell to the ground after losing her balance as her shoes had turned and one of

the heels had been jammed into the gap between the stone bricks on the ground. She sat on the

ground and exerted her force to try to pull the heel out, but no matter how hard she had tried to get it

out, it was to no avail.

She angrily unlaced her shoes and got up from the ground slowly.

A streak of blinding light suddenly shone from her front after she had got up on her feet, hence she

promptly raised her hand to block it out. The black Rolls Royce had slowly reversed to her front and

stopped right before reaching her.

Bryan pushed open the car door and got down from the car, and after casting his glance towards her

rather disconcerted state, he walked towards her and said unhappily, “Where have you gotten hurt?”

“Aren’t you capable of just dumping me here like that? Just go then!” Shirley looked away as she was

extremely exasperated with him.

He took another look at the shoe beside her feet which was being abandoned by her and promptly

walked over to grab the shoe and tore at it.

Shirley could hear a sound of crack coming from his direction soon after, and by the time she had

lowered her head to give it a good look, Bryan had already pulled the stuck shoe out from the ground.

However, the heel of her shoes had also been broken off just like that without any consideration at all.

That was actually a limited-edition shoe which was worth more than two million yuan.

There were even a few diamonds that had been embedded on the heel that was stuck in the ground,

but he had actually torn it apart just like that with his bare hands.

Did he have to be so prodigal although he was extremely wealthy?

Bryan stood up and handed the shoe over to her, “Are you going to get in the car or not?”

Shirley rolled her eyes at him as she snatched the shoe away from his hand, and she hopped her way

to the passenger side to pull open the door and get in the car right away.

After she had sat down in the passenger seat, she took off another shoe that was still worn on her

other foot and grabbed its heel as she tried hard to break it off.

Since the other heel had been broken off, there was no point in keeping this one. Anyway, it was not

her money that was being wasted.

She had attempted to tear the heel apart for a few times, but it was not as easy as she had imagined it

to be as she still could not break it off after a while.

Bryan darted a look at her and proceeded to snatch the shoe away from her as he grabbed the heel

with both his hands and yanked it in two different directions.

Shirley could hear a cracking sound again as the other heel had been torn apart by him easily as well.

He stuffed the shoe back in her hands with a composed look and said, “Fasten your seatbelt.”

Shirley’s mouth twitched when she had laid her eyes on that pitiful shoe in her hands. He really did not

even bat a single eyelid when he was destroying this pair of shoes that was worth more than two

million yuan.

…

The masquerade ball was being held in City L’s most prosperous venue, the Pearl Club.

When Shirley had followed Bryan along to the entrance of the ball, two masked men in suit whom were

standing at the door had distributed two masks to them.

The mask that she had been assigned was… a white kitty mask.

She stared blankly at the mask in her hand with her eyes drooped while being absorbed in her own

thoughts.

How could it be so coincidental…

The mask that she had gotten during the masquerade ball six years ago was also a white kitty mask,

and the mask that she had gotten now was still the same one when this was already the second time

that she had attended a similar ball.

“Is there any problem?” A husky voice suddenly sounded from the top of her head at that moment.

She quickly raised her head only to perceive that Bryan was staring at her intently, and he was

scrutinizing her with his piercing gaze as he asked, “You don’t like this kind of mask?”

“Not at all!” If she were to say that she disliked the mask, and by any chance he had asked her for her

reasons, it would rouse his suspicion that she had something on her mind, hence she turned the mask

around and pretended to admire it while feigning her composure, “It’s very cute.”

“Mm.”

Both of them had put on their masks at the same time, and they proceeded to turn around and stare at

each other after tying the masks securely behind their head.

However, Bryan could not take his eyes off her the instant their eyes had met.

The white kitty mask had only covered half of her face, thus her perfectly curved chin had been

exposed while her red lips were glistening with crystal clear lustre, and this look… was extremely alike

with…

Shirley suddenly walked past him and proceeded to enter the hall by herself first.

Bryan had stay put as he stared at her disappearing back figure, and a petite figure had suddenly

materialized in his mind.

She was also wearing a white princess dress which had exposed her slender legs, and she had worn a

white kitty mask on her face while leaving her red lips and beautiful chin exposed that year. She could

be seen squeezing through the crowd in an anxious manner as if she was searching for someone.

Shirley’s figure had surprisingly matched with the one in Bryan’s mind at that instant.

She was that girl from six years ago!

Damn it…

Bryan hurriedly trotted into the ball to find her, but she had disappeared from his sight.

Where did this woman go?

“Bryan.” It was at this moment that someone had called him from behind.

He looked behind him and could perceive a woman whom was wearing a white evening gown and

white kitty mask strolling towards him.

Bryan immediately turned around and walked towards her, but just when he was about to take her

hand, he noticed that her red lips had curved up while exhilaration had manifested on her face.

His expression was frozen suddenly when he had taken in the changes on the woman’s countenance.

No, this was not Paisley!

Paisley would not smile at him like that for the world as she had always been fierce to him and would

put on a poker face whenever she was with him.

However, the woman before his eyes had put on a look of anticipation and ecstasy after she had laid

her eyes on him.

He abruptly withdrew his hand and turned around to leave her at once.

Sabrina hurriedly chased after him as she said, “Where’re you going, Bryan? Mr. Stewart is having a

chat with my father now…”
