Be Your Lover Forever (Alicia) novel Chapter 1571

While rubbing his midbrows, Wyatt felt a splitting headache. One wrong move could cause a mess! He really shouldn't have made the mistake!

How could he explain the damaged wrist watch to her?

After rushing to Patek Philippe Flagship Store, Wyatt waited for the inspection result.

Soon, a staff member came out with a tray.

"Mr. Johnson, the cover glass was severely damaged by an external force. It can't be repaired anymore. We can only change it to new cover glass. Fortunately, the interior parts and inner surface are not damaged, so the repair is relatively simple! The cover glass of our watch is strong. It's not easy to leave even a slight scratch on the surface. The strength and angle are so coincidental that such serious damage is caused. As your watch is a high-quality limited edition model, the cover glass needs to be customized at the headquarter in Switz. It will take at least ten days to fix it! Do you want to leave the watch here or wait for the cover glass to arrive before we inform you?"

"Ten days? So long?"

How could he hide it from her in the past ten days? Was he going to confess to her that he had been useless and muddle-headed enough not to be able to protect her token of love?

Wasn't it making things worse?

Although knowing that keeping it a secret from her was not right, it was better if he could erase the incident without any trace. At least in the future, she would not be mad as she was right then even if she learned about it!

He gently stroked the band as if he was caressing his most beloved person. As though ten thousand years had passed, Wyatt began to faintly suggest, "Is this model still available? Well, shall I buy a new match? Will removing its cover glass and replacing the cracked surface with the new cover glass work?"

"Uh?"

The staff member blurted out in confusion. Did she mishear? If he wanted to buy a new watch, why would he tear it apart to fix the old watch?

The staff member assumed that her hearing went wrong from being fascinated by the handsomeness of the man before her eyes. With an awkward chuckle, she took several more glances at him to notice the serious look in his eyes. It seemed that he was not joking, so the staff member said.

"Mr. Johnson, I am honored that you like this watch, but this couple watch is well-received this year. There is no remaining stock in our store, so let me assist you in checking the sales of other stores to see if we can transfer a pair over as soon as possible. Since this is a couple watch, it can't be sold separately! Since you want to tailor a pair of couple wristwatches, this old model..."

Did he have to go through so much trouble?

Realizing that she seemed to be too talkative and remembering something, the staff member went on to say, "Please wait a moment. I'll help you check it out!"

Soon, the staff member came over.

"Mr. Johnson, you're lucky. We found a set of identical model watches restocking today. Originally, they were supposed to be sent to another store. If you want it, we can contact them now to send it over, but the delivery will take at least two hours!"

Checking the time, Wyatt clapped his hands and yelled, "I want it!"

"Sure! Mr. Johnson, each of our watches has a label on it. Even if they are of the same model, it is hard to guarantee that there is no difference. I suggest that you don't tear apart the new watch to fix the old watch. It's better for you to wear the new watch for the time being. If you leave the old watch behind, we'll send our men to the headquarters in Switz for repair. It can be restored to its original state. It won't delay your use of the watch and reduce transport time sending the watch back and forth, hence speeding up the repair of the watch!"

Her words made sense. It would take a lot of time to replace the cracked cover glass. The key was that he could not wait until the watch was fixed, so he nodded, paid the money, and made a call to give instructions. It was too tiring, so he slept on the lounge chair.

She applied for leave early in the morning. Waverly went to the hospital to deal with the slightly scarred wound before heading to the company.

As soon as she entered the office, several colleagues approached her. "Waverly, are you alright? You frightened us to death!"

"Are you hurt? Why don't you take leave to rest for two more days?"

"Miss Waverly, thank God you're smart! I didn't expect a thief to be so bold and flagrant in Casterwich City, where the security is strict. He was indeed seeking death!"

"Oh, he must be tired of living. He couldn't be stopped! How could he have done such a foolish thing?"

"If he's not mentally ill, he must be forced into a corner by life, isn't he? The criminal claimed it to be his first time committing a crime! Every family has its difficulties..."

"This is robbery and injuring the victim, which is more serious than theft! Alas..."

"I don't know what happened yesterday. Look, there were a lot of incidents! Some were robbed, some had a car accident, and some were framed. They end up in worse conditions than each other..."

Her colleagues were full of concern for her, while Wynne scanned her from head to toe. All of an instant, Waverly was confused. "Do all of you know about it?"

Who would publicize such a minor incident? How did everyone know about it?

"How could we not know about it? Miss Waverly, you have made the headlines. You're no different from a role model in the textbooks!" Xena gesticulated to her phone and gave Waverly a thumbs-up.

Fortunately, everyone was busy. After making sure Waverly was all right, they were forced back to their seats by the phone calls and work.

When they returned to their seats, Waverly remained in a trance, followed by her reaction to turn on her mobile phone to have a look.
