Chapter 252
Chapter 252
"I can do it because I complained out of habit." Concealing the disappointment in my heart, I smiled and said to Louie.
It seemed that he didn't see my reluctance. Louie said something to me for a while and turned to leave. After I left, he opened the email again and wailed in his heart.
Because I was allowed to go there in the afternoon, I couldn't eat in the company, so I had to go there in advance. So when everyone went to have lunch, I stayed in the office area to pack things.
When I was about to pack up and leave, I heard the sound of high heels as soon as I put on the zipper of my bag.
Looking at the time on my watch, it was only half an hour before the lunch break. I didn't expect that someone had already finished eating so early. I touched my swollen belly and made up my mind to find a place to eat when I went out of the company.
"Why haven't you left yet? Don't you want to go?" Liu Qian stood at the door and looked at me coldly.
My hands stopped moving and I ignored her. I carried the bag on my back and was about to leave. When I passed by Liu Qian, she also passed by me.
Standing at the door of the elevator, I heard the sound of high heels coming over and didn't look back. Without thinking, I knew that Liu Qian must have followed me here. I was so depressed that I couldn't figure it out. Why should I follow her when they were about to leave? What else could I do?
A few seconds later, the elevator arrived. When I got into the elevator, I pressed the button and closed the door. I was in a good mood, thinking that I finally didn't have to face Liu Qian's face and those words. As a result, before I was happy for a long time, the elevator door was opened again.
"It's not good for you to leave before you answer me, isn't it?" Liu Qian asked.
I froze for a second before I chuckled. "Well, in truth, I thought we weren't that close. We had to greet each other when we met."
"Is that really necessary?" Liu Qian sneered.
She didn't retreat or go forward. She just stood at the elevator door, so that the elevator couldn't close at all.
Seeing her like this, I suddenly felt very annoyed. "I have something else to do. Please let me go."
"Do you know why Abbie asked you to go out?" Liu Qian asked.
My heart sank. "I have nothing to do with the leader's row. If you also want to go out, you can find Mr. Ling's expression."
"Sister Chelsea, I can call you sister now when I'm in a good mood. Don't say that I didn't remind you."
"It's not up to you whether to remind me or not. I've warned you a long time ago that no matter what Abbie wants to do, you will be the scapegoat in the future," I replied indifferently.
It wasn't that I was a magnanimous person, or that I wasn't really worried about Abbie or Liu Qian's plans to frame me in private. It was just that I didn't want to talk too much with Liu Qian, so I naturally didn't want to ask any more questions. Even if something really happened in the future, I could only say that I was unlucky.
In this society ruled by law, I don't believe that they can do anything to me.
Liu Qian was provoked by my words, and her face became extremely ugly. "At this point, you are still in the mood to say these things. I think you won't give up until you reach the Yellow River. In this case, I don't need to remind you."
After that, she loosened her grip on the elevator door and stepped back. "Good luck, Sister Chelsea." NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.
This was the last sentence she said to me. She wished me good luck.
Although I didn't quite understand the meaning of this sentence, I still thought of the time when I was kidnapped. After thinking about it, I dialed Harrison's number.
It rang for a long time, but no one answered the phone. In the end, I was about to give up when the phone was picked up, but it was a woman. "Hello, this is Mr. Stewart's private phone number. I am his secretary."
I was caught off guard for a moment. I waited for her to repeat her words before I asked, "Where's he?"
"Mr. Stewart has a meeting early in the morning and hasn't come out yet. If you're in a hurry, I can pass it on for you," the secretary said politely in a sweet voice.
A bunch of words he wanted to say just now, but he didn't know what to say when he heard her question. Finally, he could only say, "It's not a big deal. If it's possible, please ask him to give me a call after he finishes."
"No problem."
Looking at the phone hanging up, I was in a complicated mood, and I comforted myself in my heart that I would wait for him to answer the phone after he finished. Anyway, I was not sure that he would be fine now, but it was just a precaution.
What's more, the kidnapping incident last time had made Abbie restrain herself a lot. She wouldn't repeat what had happened before and then frame me with her work. After thinking about it for a while, I felt that it must be Liu Qian who deliberately gave me psychological pressure.
If you were to ask why I did this, you might want me to be dismissed. After such an analysis, my worries also disappeared.
The company was in charge of the company, so the partners were all related to the company. The receptionist led me to the reception room and said that the manager was going to pick up the phone and come over immediately. I nodded to show my understanding.
When I was waiting, I took out my phone. There were no calls or text messages on it. It seemed that Harrison had not finished the meeting yet.
"Miss Hodges, we..." The secretary pushed the door open and entered. She introduced the man in a suit beside her to me.
I was about to say something, but when I saw that person, I had no idea how to say it. It was also at this moment that I finally understood why Abbie had asked me to personally come over. The man in front of me, who was called a manager, was the one I saw yesterday.
Last night, when I went to the restaurant with Harrison for dinner, one of the people sitting in the private room was him. The reason why I remembered it so clearly was that I was the first one to talk to me when I entered the private room. It was him who said that. I didn't like him at all.
"I know this lady," the man said to the secretary beside him.
The secretary nodded and closed the door when she left. The man looked at me with a smile.
I don't know how to describe my current mood, but I'm speechless and want to slap him in the face. If you laugh, then just laugh. When you smile, you have to look like you want to be beaten. Isn't that
looking for a beating?
I could still remember the purpose of coming here today. Enduring the discomfort in my heart, I squeezed out a smile and said, "Hello, manager, I am..."
He made a stop and sat down on the chair, indicating that he should sit down as well.
I didn't know what he meant, but I felt that there were so many people in the company and nothing bad would happen to them, so I sat far away from him.
When he saw me sit down, he shook his head and chuckled. "It wasn't Louie who was in charge in the past. Why are you here today?" "Mr. Ling said he had something to tell me, so he asked me to come over," I replied.
"Mr. Ling?" The man was confused. "Are you referring to Mr. Ling, Abbie?"
I nodded and said calmly, "Yes, she just arrived at our company."
The man looked at me with a strange expression in his eyes. I sat opposite him and allowed him to look at me. My expression was very calm, and I did not panic at all. However, only God knew how agitated I was right now. I really wanted to go back and question Abbie's feelings.
