Chapter 249 

After I hung up the phone, Neil had already arrived. 

His company seemed to be not far from here, so it didn’t take him long to swing by 

“Neil, you finally showed up! I thought you were going to bail on us!” Kitty ran over excitedly and hugged his arm as soon as she saw Neil. 

Neil, looking a bit peeved, brushed her arms off and said, ‘Let’s just talk standing here. No need to hug” 

It was at that moment that Kitty’s friends finally recognized that her companion was Neil. They were all pretty shocked and couldn’t help checking out this big shot from the business world that they’d heard so much about. 

Kitty was unfazed by their surprise. Hands on her hips, she said, ‘Quit it. You’re picking up the tab today, OK?” 

To Neil, footing the bill was no biggie. He didn’t answer, but no answer was as good as a yes. Kitty immediately told her friends, “Alright, eat and drink whatever you want today. We’ve got a free ride” 

I kept quiet, thinking about how to get out of there. When Kitty came over to say hi, I said, “Kitty, something came up at work. I gotta go handle it. Happy birthday!” 

“Huh? Are you leaving before the cake? Is work really that urgent? Maybe you can stick around for a bit, and it’s more fun with more people” Kitty seemed a bit disappointed. 

I could tell Kitty loved a good time, her eyes were full of the desire for fun, and she made no attempt to hide it. 

As for Neil, he was frowning, probably guessing that I was just making excuses to avoid him. 

“I’ll get you a gift for your next birthday. I’ll have the cake next time.” I smiled and replied. 

Kitty pouted, “Well, alright then.” 

Since the birthday girl was OK with me leaving, I turned to go. Unexpectedly Neil said, “I’ll go pay the bill. You guys go ahead and eat” 

He didnt ever wait for Kitty’s response, he just started following me. 

A 

Neil’s going to pay the bill himself? Can’t he just have someone else do it? I suspected he just wanted an excuse to follow me, so I quickened my pace. 

Even though I was somewhat tall for a woman and walked fast, Neil had long legs and strode even faster, and he caught up with me in no time. 

I was in high heels, and because I was walking so fast, I twisted my ankle. The pain was so intense I let out a yelp. “Ah!” 

Then I started to lose my balance and almost fell over 

Neil caught me just in time. Thank God he was there, or else I would have made a fool of myself Passers-by all turned to look 

“Thanks.” I thanked Neil, gritting my teeth against the pain in my ankle 

“Why are you wearing high heels to a party?” Neil frowned, looking at the broken heel of my shoe. 

I hobbled ahead, in no mood to respond to his question due to the pain, 7 like wearing heels. It’s none of your business.” 

I didnt get far before I twisted my other ankle. I sat down hard on the ground, the pain rendering me limp. 

Since I was going out drinking with Stella and the gang today, I dressed up a bit and wore these thin heeled shoes. Normally it’s fine, but when I’m in a rush, I just can’t control myself. 

A water came over, asking if I needed help 

T’ll be with her I’ll handle this.” Nell walked over and easily dismissed the waiter. 

I was hoping the water could help, but he actually listened to Neil and left. 

Neil squatted down beside me, “Can you walk?” 

What kind of question was that? Who could walk with a sprained ankle? 

I didn’t say anything. I took out my phone to text Stella, hoping she could come help me. 

Next thing I knew, Neil had picked me up, my phone nearly slipping out of my hand. 

“I can walk. Put me down!” I insisted stubbornly 

Nel stopped at that and let me down, I wasn’t ready and ended up sitting down hard, gasping at the sudden pain. 

He did that on purpose, causing me pain again! 

I gritted my teeth and dialed Stella’s number. She came out quickly with Mitch. 

“Mitch, take her to the hospital’ Stella ordered Mitch. 

“Sure!” Mitch, ever the good Samaritan, squatted down with his back towards me, 11l give you a piggyback 

Then he looked up and saw Nell glaring at him like he was the devil incarnate. He went weak in the knees, and before I could climb onto his back, he started rubbing his back, saying, “Ah… Irene, I think I’ve put my back out… It hurts!” 

“T 

Stella, hands on hips, scoffed, “Are you kidding me? Since when do you have back problems?!” 

Neil calmly said. ‘Maybe he just got it” 

A sudden case of back problems? Stella looked puzzled. 

Mitch struggled to his feet, saying to Neil, “Neil, could you help out? It’s too much for me with the kid and all” 

“Mm.” Neil gave a nonchalant nod, but after he said that, a faint smile could be seen on his face. 

I understood the little game between the two men and was a bit annoyed. Just as I was about to ask Stella to get Cooper to help, Neil had picked me up

I hadn’t seen him hitting the gym regularly, but he was surprisingly strong Picking me up was as easy as lifting a pillow. Maybe it was just natural strength 

As Neil carried me into the elevator, Kitty came running over She was shocked at the sight
