Chapter 34
In fact, it was not that I didn't think of seeing Patrick again after I was out of the prison.
But I didn't expect it to be so fast.
I hid behind a pillar and heard someone coming out of the hotel to flatter him.
Based on their conversation, I roughly knew that this hotel belonged to Cowell's Group.
"I can follow behind you as if I were a shadow chasing after the light in a daze..."
As I hid behind the pillar and waited for them to leave first, my cell phone rang.
It was Angie's call.
I dared not to pick up the call. So I could only take the cell phone and rush into the hall.
As soon as I entered the hall, Angie stood inside and looked at me up and down. After confirming that I was Charlotte, she began to arrange work for me.
At a glance, I knew that Angie was used to being bossy. Anyway, she used to work in a big company. After I was assigned to be her assistant, she treated me as if I were a servant instead.
In addition to getting the documents and examining the project, I even needed to do a lot of chores for her, including buying water and throwing away the rubbish.
Although what I was asked to do might be beyond what an assistant was supposed to do, I found that I was having a more blessing life than that I had enjoyed while staying in the prison.
So I did everything she asked me to do.
As a result, seeing that I was obedient, Angie began to ask me to help her deal with her private affairs unscrupulously.
At noon, she went to have lunch and asked me to supervise the progress of the construction here.
Starting from 12 a.m. to 3 p.m., I kept waiting for her.
I was overwhelmingly starving.
So I went out to look for her. As soon as I went out, I heard Angie's voice coming from a shady corner.
"Haha, yes. Originally, I thought that Seth doted on her so much. But it turned out that she wasn't capable and she could only work as an assistant for me."
"I'm just hanging her there. When she can't stand it, she probably will quit."
"Yes. After all, for pursuing Seth, I have made tens of thousands of dollars less monthly. How can I be overwhelmed by a woman coming out of nowhere?"
When I heard this, I understood it all at once.
Angie targeted me because of Seth.
Over the week after I came to Seth's company, Seth had gone to my office from time to time. Ignoring my repeated refusal, he cared about me in every possible way.
How Seth treated me made many of my colleagues dissatisfied.
But I didn't expect that it would affect me after I became an assistant to Angie.
I took a step forward.
Angie's expression stiffened when she saw me. Then she hung up the phone and said unhappily, "Didn't I ask you to watch over the workers? What are you doing here?"
"Angie." I took a step forward, "For Mr. Hyde, I think you are overthinking it."
When Angie heard I mentioning Seth, she, who was about to leave, paused he steps.
I went on explaining, "Mr. Hyde just gave me a job for the sake of me being his junior sister. Moreover, you don't have to target me at all. Because Mr. Hyde will never fall in love with me.
"Why?"
Angie obviously wasn't convinced.
"Because I once got pregnant and got divorced. The way you see it, will Mr. Hyde fall for me?"
After I finished my words, I clearly saw an unexpected look on Angie's face.
But soon, there was joy on her face.
Instead of answering my question, she just allowed me to have meal.
For the next few hours, she didn't target me anymore. Moreover, she told me what I should pay attention to during the examination.
That night, after we finished the work, I saw Seth waiting for me at the door with a car as soon as I walked out of the hotel.
He saw me and waved to me. I looked around and didn't see Angie. This text is property of Nô/velD/rama.Org.
Although Angie had left, I went up and said to Seth, "Mr. Hyde, I don't want to be treated favorably."
It seemed that Seth didn't expect that I would say so. He was stunned for a moment. Then he suddenly grabbed my wrist with one hand, "Charlotte, I thought that after I have done so much and said so many words, you will understand my mind."
While I was struggling, I heard Angie's voice coming from behind, "Mr. Hyde, you're here."
Although her voice was the same as usual, I could faintly hear her anger in it.
