After 100 Kindness Repaid, Happiness Awaited

Judith didn't hesitate at all,but her outstretched hand paused and there were no gloves prepared around.

Steven said lazily,"Why are you being so pretentious?Just peel it!"

Everyone watched her leisurely.

Judith's expression remained the same,but when her hand touched the peel,the itchy feeling from her fingertips still made her frown.

Soon the strange feeling became more and more obvious,her fingers trembled and her slender hands became red and swollen.Seeing her make a fool of herself,the people who were watching the show started to make a fuss again.

"I remember that Judith was seriously allergic to mangoes.Last time she drank a mouthful of mango juice,she went into shock and was admitted to the hospital.She is really infatuated with Steven."

"Steven doesn't dare to have the heart of a licker.However,it is really eye-opening that a licker can lick her like this."

Amidst the laughter,the door opened.

A slender figure instantly attracted everyone's attention.Including Steven.

"Steven,how are you?I heard you were sick.Are you feeling better?"

Judith looked over and saw Maddie Hubert,in a white dress,with long hair like a waterfall falling on her shoulders and her watery almond eyes made people want to protect her.

She had long known that Steven had a childhood sweetheart.

But Maddie had been in poor health since she was a child.Ten years ago,she was diagnosed with a kidney transplant,but there was no suitable match in England,so she had been receiving treatment abroad and only returned to England in the past two years.

In order to prevent people from disturbing Maddie's peace,Steven protected her very well.Although he had heard about her a little,it was not until today that Judith saw her for the first time.

Maddie trotted to sit next to Steven and asked questions with concern.

She seemed to feel Judith's inquiring gaze and immediately stood up and said carefully,"Oh,Miss Corliss is here.I'm sorry I was just anxious just now."

"Steven,explain to your girlfriend quickly."

Steven glanced at Judith and looked at Maddie with tenderness.

"She is just a dog,not my girlfriend.You will always be in my heart."

Being embarrassed in public,everyone stared at Judith,expecting her to make a scene and become hysterical.But Judith just retracted her gaze and calmly scooped out the last spoonful of pulp.

She looked up and smiled."The mango has been peeled.But I have a document here that needs Mr.Wilson's signature."

Judith moved her red,swollen and stiff hands and took out her resignation application from her bag.

She turned directly to the signature section of the last page and handed over the pen.

Steven's attention was on Maddie.Without any hesitation,he signed his name directly where Judith indicated.

This was expected behavior,but Judith still couldn't bear to ask,"Don't you want to take a look?"

Steven never loosened his hand holding Maddie's waist and said indifferently,"It's just the South City Development Project.I already know it.If you have nothing to do,just go back first."

A trace of self-mockery flashed in Judith's eyes.If he took a closer look,he would know that it was not a project contract at all,but a resignation report.It was a pity that his eyes never fell on her.

Judith adjusted her mood and turned to leave.Behind her,Steven's friends were still making noises.

"Is Judith jealous?She knew she couldn't beat Maddie and ran away."

"She is playing hard to get.She wants Steven to coax her and she doesn't think about whether she is worthy."

Judith ignored it and refused to walk to the entrance,but Maddie's words still made her stop.

"Thank you,Steven.How do you know that I love mango the most?But Miss Corliss peeled it for you.Can I have it?"

Steven's voice softened."Just eat it,Maddie.You can have as much as you want.At worst,I'll let Judith peel it."

Judith looked at her hands that were swollen and red due to allergies and silently said to herself,"The ninety-eighth time."

In the next few days,Steven didn't bother her.

On the contrary,Maddie kept adding Judith as a friend on social media.She couldn't bear it and had to agree.

In Maddie's social media updates,Judith knew the reason.

On the first day,Steven accompanied Maddie to climb the thousand-layer ladder to ask for a lucky charm.

On the second day,Steven bought fireworks all over the city,just to set off a fireworks show for Maddie on the Ferris wheel.

On the third day,Steven booked the most expensive hotel in the city and pushed a two-meter-high cake to celebrate Maddie's birthday.

There were envious comments under every updates on social media,but where there were praise there were also derogations.

"Steven is really good to Maddie,I won't peek at the screen and cry secretly."

"See the reality as soon as possible,Judith.Steven and Maddie are a perfect match,if you know what's good for you,just get out of here."

Everyone kept making fun of her,but Judith was calm.Steven didn't bother her and she was free.

But such a good time was broken after three days.

Steven,wearing a well-tailored suit,handed the bag containing the dress to Judith,"The company is holding a celebration banquet today,don't say I didn't think about you."

Judith was stunned for a moment,took the dress and went back to the room to tidy herself up.

The car arrived at the hotel soon.

Before getting off the car,Steven suddenly took out a jewelry box from the cabinet,"I saw it by chance and thought it suits you very well,try it on."
