Chapter 585 Did She Misunderstand Something?
"Let me go!"
"Sawyer, don't you think you're funny?"
"What right do you have to question me?"
Sawyer listened to Lyric's questioning, and a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes.
In front of Lyric, he was always weak and had always been suppressed.
As a result, he did not have the confidence to ask about Lyric's private life in the face of such a situation.
In the past, he had always felt that a rough woman like Lyric would eventually break up with her boyfriend if the boyfriend she found did not have a good temper.
But now—
"Tell me, who is he?"
Sawyer held Lyric's hand tightly, and his eyes were red.
He stared fixedly at Lyric, as if he would never give up if she didn't tell him.
Lyric was furious. She pushed him away and started fighting with him on the spot.
Both of them had been taught by Hamza. Their skills were impressive, but Sawyer had an advantage being a man.
No matter in terms of physical strength or energy level, he was stronger than Lyric. Only after exchanging nearly a hundred moves with each other did Lyric gradually show signs of being at a disadvantage.
Another punch missed. Sawyer blocked Lyric's punch with his elbow and tried his best to grab her wrist.
"I gave in to you before. Do you really think I can't beat you?"
Sawyer came back from abroad in a hurry, but Lyric wanted to fight with him as soon as they met.
Sawyer was also furious.
Lyric laughed coldly.
"Then let's give it a try?"
Lyric was furious. She couldn't stand Sawyer out of her control. Her arrogant self-esteem didn't allow her to show weakness to anyone.
She had been like this since she was a child. If she didn't fight to the death, she would be beaten.
If she didn't try her best to get what she wanted, it would be taken away by others!
A cold light flashed across Lyric's eyes. At this moment, she was not thinking at all.
She wanted to win and teach the man in front of her a lesson.
Therefore, she changed her method all of a sudden and did not use the things taught by Hamza. Relying on her own experience, she lifted her leg and kicked the most vulnerable part of the man's body—
"Ah—!"
"Lyric, that's a foul play!"
Sawyer was in so much pain that it made him bend. If it were someone else, he would have hurt the other party ten times more than this.
But he didn't dare to do that to Lyric.
He couldn't bear to.
Lyric also stopped and stared breathlessly at Sawyer, who was squatting down. The fighting desire in her eyes gradually faded away.
"You deserve it."
"You..."
"Now you should know that your sister will always be your sister."
A dull pain flashed across Lyric's heart when she said those words.
But fortunately, after the venting just now and the self-healing the past few days, she had already adapted to this kind of pain.
She would always be his sister.
Seeing Sawyer find the happiness that belonged to him, although it had nothing to do with her, she felt happy for him.
At least one of them was happy.
After a long time, she should be able to let go, right?
Probably...
Lyric smiled bitterly and didn't let Sawyer see her. She wiped her sweaty forehead and reached out to him.
Sawyer squatted on the ground and looked up at Lyric.
"Have you calmed down?"
She would not fight with him again, would she?
Lyric said with a straight face, "If you don't mess with me, I won't fight with you."
Sawyer put his hand over and was about to ask Lyric to pull him up, but he didn't expect that she would directly withdraw her hand.
Sawyer was speechless.
"Are you kidding me?"
Lyric picked up the things on the ground and didn't look at Sawyer again. She just said, "I suddenly remembered that you are no longer single. I'm afraid your girlfriend will mind."
Sawyer stood up from the ground with a blank face.
"What girlfriend?"
Lyric replied, "There's no point in pretending anymore."
"No, what am I pretending to be?"
Before Sawyer could make it clear, Lyric had already pushed him away and went to talk to Graciana.
Sawyer followed her all the way and muttered, "You can only leave after you make it clear."
"Who was the man you were with that day? Did he bully you?"
"Did you find a boyfriend?"
"Also, what do you mean by saying that I'm not single?"
One question after another, Lyric kept turning a deaf ear to him.
It wasn't until she reached the door of Graciana's office that Lyric pushed him outside.
"Can you not bother me? It's fine that you're not working, but we're still working."
After that, there was a loud bang.
She slammed the door in front of everyone.
Sawyer wanted to go in, but the door directly smashed his face and made his nose bleed.
"She's really... heartless."
Sawyer reached out and touched his nose. Lyric was really heartless.
"Hello, do you need any help?"
A clear female voice came from behind.
Sawyer turned around and happened to meet a pair of blue eyes.
"Are you... Jessica?"
Jessica's eyes lit up. "You know me? Are you my fan?"
Sawyer quickly waved his hand. He wasn't a fan, but out of his duty, the people around Eliza had to be thoroughly investigated in case Eliza was in danger.
Therefore, he knew that Jessica was Eliza's teammate.
"I'm Eliza's adopted brother. I've watched your show."
"Adopted brother?" Jessica was confused.
Recently, she had advanced by leaps and bounds in Chinese, but she still did not understand such a title.
"I'm her sworn brother. Her father adopted me. In name, I'm his brother."
"Oh... I see."
"Then what are you doing here, Eliza's brother?"
"I..."
"Your nose is bleeding again. Hurry up and wipe it."
She took out a tissue from her pocket and went forward to help.
Before Sawyer could react, the tissue hit his face and happened to touch his wound.
His nose was bleeding even more violently.
"Ah, why are you bleeding severely? Hurry up and raise your head. I'll take a look for you!"
The two of them were in a flurry, and Sawyer followed Jessica's instructions in a daze.
There was a height gap between the two of them, so Jessica hurriedly asked Sawyer to kneel down.
As soon as he bent his knees, Sawyer's sight was on the same level as that of Jessica's chest.
He was a little embarrassed. He turned his eyes away, trying to push her away, but he heard a click.
"Sawyer, you..."
Lyric's voice stopped abruptly.
She looked at the intimate couple at the door, and the coldness on her face almost overflowed.
Sawyer paused for a few seconds. Just as he was about to talk to Lyric, he saw that Lyric's expression had changed.
"Despicable."
"Scum!"
"Why didn't I knock you down?"
After that, there was another "bang".
The door was closed again, and this time, there was even an echo in the corridor.
Jessica blinked her eyes and looked down at the helpless Sawyer.
Then she asked, "Did she misunderstand something?"
Sawyer's face was full of pain. He pushed the enthusiastic international friend away and said, "It's okay. I'll coax her later."
