Chapter 111 Much Stronger Than Liam
"You..."
Laura didn't feel something was off until now.
"The temperature suddenly dropped tonight. Ms. Taylor's coat, blanket, and some food are here. Please pass them to her." Kyle handed them directly to her, noticing she was still in a daze, then turned and left.
Since he had finished his task, he didn't necessarily have to handed them to her in person.
"Hey, what's this..." Laura, coming back to her senses, tried to call out, but the person was already a few steps into the elevator with long legs.
Carrying things with a puzzled look, she returned to the lab entrance and saw Evelyn still sitting there, focused on observing samples.
"Your delivery," Standing at the doorway, Laura shouted.
Evelyn turned around upon hearing the voice and saw her standing there with two large bags, looking surprised. "Weren't you going to wash your face? How did you order so much delivery? Quite efficient."
Which delivery service was this fast? She hadn't been gone for more than a few minutes.
"I didn't order. It was your guardian angel who sent it."
At that moment, Laura had figured it out.
In the dead of night, no one besides Evelyn's admirer would show such care and bring her so much stuff, including clothes and food.
"What guardian angel?" Evelyn, puzzled, took one of the bags, opened it, and found her coat and a blanket, immediately guessing who had sent these items.
But! Didn't they agree to keep their relationship private? He just showed up at the company so openly. Although at this hour, he might still run into other people in the company.
"Where is he?" She asked while peering outside.
"He's gone!" Waving her hand, Laura saw Evelyn's reaction and became even more certain of her thoughts. "He's really your boyfriend? You really know how to keep a secret. I thought I would never see him. He's considerate and genuinely cares about you, much better than Liam!"
Evelyn pursed her lips. "Liam is nothing compared to him!"
If one had beheld the beauty of vast mountains and rivers, there was nothing left to cherish in the foul wells filled with sewage and mud, and indeed, there was no need to make a comparison whatsoever.
Comparing Liam to Samuel?! Sorry, Liam was not worthy!
Seeing Evenly's disdainful face and her rush to defend, Laura couldn't help but laugh out loud. "Exactly, he's out of Liam's league! Although he looks a bit fierce, seems a bit dull, and acts silly. But just for showing up in the middle of the night to bring you food and clothes, he deserves an extra one hundred and twenty points."
Evelyn fell silent.
Samuel's halo loomed in her mind, elegant and noble, but according to Laura's descriptions, he looked fierce, seemed dull, and acted silly?
These adjectives—were they really about Samuel? Were Luara's eyes playing tricks, or did she have an issue with aesthetics?
"Are you sure your aesthetics are fine, Laura?"
Laura fell silent.
"Evelyn, even if I'm a bit sharp in my words, you shouldn't attack me like that. I'm open to other criticisms, but my aesthetics are absolutely fine!" She carefully recalled the man she had just seen, feeling that her description was quite accurate.
After some thought, Evelyn realized that aesthetics were subjective and everyone had different standards. Maybe Laura's aesthetics were just a bit niche.
"Never mind, are you hungry too? Let's eat."
Seeing the steaming takeout inside and feeling hungry herself, Evelyn took it to the table outside to eat.
Evenly wasn't dwelling on the issue anymore, but Laura still couldn't get past Evelyn's question about her aesthetics. Even as they sat down with their forks, she couldn't help but ask, "Which part do you think I described incorrectly?"
Evelyn fell silent.
"Alright, then tell me, In which of his actions is he being silly?"
Thinking about it, Evelyn felt that in terms of appearance, there might be some differences in aesthetics, but as for Samuel's way of doing things, it didn't seem to be related to silliness at all.
"I asked him who he was and what he was doing here, and he hesitated for a long time before saying he was from the company. Think about it, I haven't been here long, but I've already recognized everyone here. Even I could tell at a glance that he wasn't our colleague, let alone others! Trying to deceive me with such a petty trick, if that's not silly, what is it?"
Laura analyzed. "He could have been straightforward and told me that he came to see you, but he made up a reason saying he's an employee of the company. Such a lame excuse!"
After the criticism, seeing Evelyn silent, she explained cautiously, "But, this might also show he's honest, not even able to tell a lie."
Little did she know, Evelyn was mentally reconstructing her words with Samuel's persona, imagining how Samuel would say those words.
Hmm! He was indeed from the company, but not many people below had seen him. Cathy had only seen him a few times, let alone other ordinary employees. Laura had just arrived not long ago, so not recognizing him was quite understandable.
Well, listening to her, Evelyn thought his behavior did seem a bit silly.
"So... what about looking fierce?" After a moment of thought, Evelyn asked again.
Even if this question caused a misunderstanding, was there really such a big difference in the perception of appearance?
"I... to be honest, Evelyn, don't get mad." Laura hesitated, prefacing her statement.
After all, he was Evelyn's new boyfriend, and Laura had already judged him quite harshly. Moreover, Laura was currently eating the food he brought.
"Go ahead, I won't get mad." Evelyn nodded, unconcerned.
It was just casual conversation, and Evelyn knew Laura didn't mean any harm. She was just curious about how Samuel appeared in the eyes of others.
Previously, Evelyn had read many magazines and media descriptions, all portraying Samuel as decisive, ruthless, and brutal. As for his appearance, he was the perfect embodiment of a 'Prince Charming'
Although he was often criticized online for his cold and ruthless ways but he had never been questioned for his appearance. Evenly was also gradually falling for his charm.
In contrast, Laura was truly a special case, and Evelyn was eager to hear more about what she said.
"In fact..." Laura, holding her fork, recalled the man's face. "he looks okay!"
Evelyn's eyebrows twitched.
Okay?!
"His features are quite handsome upon closer inspection, but his face is a bit square. If he were a bit thinner, he could look better. He's very tall and looks quite sturdy, which is good. He can protect you in the future."
Squinting slightly, Evelyn compared Samuel's face based on her description. Square face? Sturdy? Thinner?
"Are you sure... we're talking about the same person?" She had to doubt it.
