His Love Is As Deep As The Sea - Chapter 35

Gideon sat with his back straight at the desk in his office.

Freya stood in front of him sheepishly, just like a kid caught red-handed doing something wrong.

The man picked up his teacup and took a sip as he asked, “Tell me. What happened back there?”

Freya asked rhetorically, “Huh?”

Gideon felt that she was acting innocent and found it annoying, but he did not lose his temper. “Why was there a fight at your department?”

Freya muttered, “Weren’t you there to see it for yourself and handle it? Why are you asking me this now?”

The man looked irritated. He looked at her frustratedly and shouted, “Freya Keller!”

Freya suddenly smiled at him. “Mr. Carter, I am just an insignificant employee here. If people find out that you can remember my full name, they will misunderstand.”

After she smiled, she could sense a burning sensation on her face on the spot that Jennifer had slapped.

Gideon scoffed mockingly.

Freya gritted her teeth and did her best not to make a sound.

The man simply glanced at her before turning to look at the laptop.

He started typing on the laptop with his slender fingers as he said lukewarmly, “You have a minute to tell me what happened. Otherwise, you and the other girl who got into a fight can collect your cheque from the HR department as well.”

“Mr. Carter, isn’t this a minor matter? Why do you want to know?”

Gideon surprisingly did not blow his top and simply said, “You got hurt right under my watch, so I want to know what happened.”

Freya pursed her lips and asked awkwardly, “Are… are you showing concer for me or something?”

The man looked into her eyes and smiled coolly.

He suddenly stood up and strode towards Freya.

She could smell the man’s cool scent as she stared at him with her cheeks blushing. “What… what are you doing?”

Gideon smiled nonchalantly. “Don’t worry. I won’t care about you ever. Not even in my next lifetime.”

Freya gritted her teeth. She really wanted to pummel him with her fists!

She looked at the man and clearly looked bewildered. “Then, why did you fire Jennifer?”

“We do not condone violence at the Carter Group no matter how good one’s performance is.”

Gidon’s eyes glazed over briefly.

Also, he was worried Charles might have planted spies in the company to keep an eye on Freya.

If he did not handle her problems properly, innocent people would get implicated.

The person who would get implicated the most was Brenna.

Moreover, they were legally married. If something happened to her, it would make him look bad!

Freya pursed her lips and said, “Jennifer and I got into a fight because she stole my client. Carol was trying to help, but Jennifer got agitated and started the fight.”

“Idiot.” The man spoke coolly. It was unclear who he was directing the word towards.

Freya pursed her lips and glanced at the man before she said, “Mr. Carter, if that is all you need of me, I am going back to my desk. From now on, try not to call me to your office. You know how people in the office talk.”

Gideon smiled coldly. He glanced at her indifferently before veering his eyes away and saying deeply, “Take care of your wound. I don’t want to see it when I get back to the villa tonight..”
