Be Eaten Up with Love - Chapter 43

We were just like a normal couple. Tangled and kissed in the car. In this moment,

I hoped the time could stop in this snug morning. No traps, no conspiracies, no

loves nor hates and no truth making pain on me that even made me could not

stay alive.

I tried my best and finally arrived at the office before 8:30 in the morning.

I met Wayne coincidently when I got on to the lift since he was inspecting

departments. He was standing right behind me in the crowded lift and talking new

project that launched recently with other senior executives.

“Mr. Gilbert, we have talked with the government about the demolition of the old

town on Jianning street. Our plan of new building project can be launched after

the demolition.”

Old town on Jianning Street, that was where my uncle lives, wasn’t it?

More accurately, it was the address of my home!

In that year, after the car accident of my parents, my home on Jianning Street

was left unused. Even though my father was a dignitary, he had never corrupted

so he did not own too many properties. The only blue-chip he got was the three-

room apartment.

Then, I was kept in my uncle’s home. The family of my uncle lived in countryside

at that time. Their living conditions was tough, so I suggested them to move to

my home.

When I was 10 years old, I did not understand the meaning of set the fox to keep

the geese or it is easier to call up an evil spirit than to allay it!

My uncle’s family moved to the apartment my parents left to me. From that

moment, Harriet made the apartment hers!

I didn’t argue about that in all these years. After all, my uncle kept me for 10

years. The kindness of him was always there. I would be sent to the orphanage if

he did not adopt me!

By the meaning of Wayne, the apartment was included in the demolition.

“Ok, good job for all of you these days.”

I stood behind him in silent. The lift stopped at 50th floor.

I took my steps out when Wayne had got off the lift and turned left. I followed

behind him gingerly.

He did not say anything to me all the way!

In the company, we were just like strangers, pretending that we did not know

each other’s at all.

I started working immediately when I got to my desk.

At about 9 o’clock. There was an enthusiastic sound of greeting suddenly went

off in the quiet office.

” Ms. Hunter! Welcome back!”

” Ms. Hunter! Did you receive anything in Japan? Anything like a romance?”

I raised my head looked along the others’ sights to the doorway. There was a

woman standing gracefully erect.

The first view went into my eyes was her “S” figure. She was in a lavender suit

that made her figure more alluring! Black curved hair was like a fall, looked a little

lazy and charming! The view of her back could enchant a bunch of people in one

second.

I lifted my lips and showed a meaningful smile.

The female employees of Wayne were really all beauties.

This Ms. Hunter left alone the others; her long legs could be played for a year!

I was calm in my mind. But I expression changed suddenly since I saw the face

of the woman clearly!

She was the woman who was holding Wayne in arms and kissing him in the

nightclub last night.

His fiancée in the future was working in the Secretary department in his

company.

My heart went down suddenly. My condition was like a burning fire was poured

on a pot of cold water.

“Enough, don’t be garrulous anymore. I will give you guys wedding candies when

I’m engaged.” Sally glanced at the people with a light smile. There was an

expression of happiness on her face.

” Is Ms. Hunter really going to marry Mr. Gilbert? Jesus! The most precious and

eligible bachelor will be occupied.”

Girls in the office crowd around Sally and talked lively all together. Even though

they were telling congratulating words, their jealous expression was changing

differently.

“Ok, there were two new girls joined our department when I was not here these

day, Sarah and Lydia, right? I will buy a dinner for all of us as a greeting for you

two joining the big family of Secretary department!”

“ Of course we go since Ms. Hunter is buying…”

…

The whole morning passed in muddled.

I was not myself on working for the whole morning. I even made the most basic

mistake in translating.

I got back to my seat soullessly after I was rebuked by Sally.

The scene of her rebuking me with a harsh countenance suddenly appeared in

my mind.

” Lydia, the Secretary department is always an elite department under my

supervision. I don’t want the reputation of the whole department ruined by the

only rat like you.” She glanced at me contemptuously like she was looking at an

idiot.

I never expected that the elegant and graceful Sally could say something so

vicious like this.

There was a thousand miles difference between the appearance she made for

others and the acerb appearance now!

” I was just back to the company and heard a lot of rumors about you. University

girls are capable that can even make tricks by sleeping with men. I don’t care

which director makes you here with hidden rules. Since you joined the company,

you are my people in the Secretary department. If you make stupid mistakes

again, I will report to Mr. Gilbert and fire you!”
