Chapter 38 Pestered By A Jerk
"Really? Hollie seems so earnest and innocent normally, why would she do such a thing?"
"People nowadays will do anything in order to seed. That Hollie, from her appearance, I feel that
she is not a good person. She pretends to be earnest, but secretly, she is seducing old men like our
boss. What a sl*t."
"You''re right, Mr Bullock is in his forties, and he''s so ugly. Hollie Hunter is really going all out, seducing
a man like him."
I heard everyment my colleagues made. I felt grievous. When had I seduced Rudy Bullock? Did
they see that?
People nowadays were really good at making up rumours based on what they see. Rudy was the one
who forced himself on me, but to them, it was me who seduced him. How could they tell lies like this?
I wanted to rush out and argue with them and tell them the truth, but I held myself back. Even if I ran
out and exined what happened, they wouldn''t believe me. Instead, they would look down on me
more.
Forget it. As long as I knew I was a good person, I didn''t have to exin anything to anyone.
I keptforting myself in my heart, but my tears still fell uncontrobly. I kept telling myself not to
care, but the feeling of being wronged was really ufortable.
After they left, I walked out of the bathroom and came to the mirror. Looking at myself with red eyes, I
felt even more upset.
I had done my best work since I started at thispany, but all I got in return was a reputation as a
seductress. It was so unfair.Content rights belong to N?velDrama.Org.
In the afternoon, I could clearly feel that the way all my colleagues looked at me changed. I tried my
best to pretend that I knew nothing and continued to work hard. I believed that as long as I worked hard
enough, sooner orter, they would understand what kind of person I was.
In the next few days, no one talked to me. Even when I met with my colleagues, they wouldn''t speak to
me. Rudy Bullock was also doing his best to get me in trouble so that I would be fired.
I had so much work that I had to work overtime until 10 o''clock at night. I knew that Rudy was giving
me a heavy workload on purpose. He wanted me to leave thepany.
But I had already made up my mind. No matter how he treated me, I wouldn''t leave Grizzlimited
voluntarily.
It was anotherte night at work. I finished up thest of my work and stretched before standing up
tiredly. I packed my bag and got ready to leave the office.
But at this moment, my cell phone rang. It was a call from Vaughn. I frowned, and a feeling of
annoyance came over me. Without thinking, I hung up the phone.
But Vaughn didn''t give up. My cell phone kept ringing. Finally, I couldn''t bear it anymore and picked up
the phone.
"Vaughn, what''s wrong with you? Why are you calling me?"
As soon as I answered the phone, I lost my temper. My voice was cold and emotionless.
"Hollie. I want to have a talk with you. I am now downstairs at yourpany. I know you''ve been
workingte these past few days."
On the other end of the phone, Vaughn''s voice was much gentler than usual. If it had been in the past, I
would have been happy to hear from him, but right now I did not feel happy at all, because I didn''t feel
like I love him anymore.
"I have nothing to say to you. I really don''t want to see you."
I refused Vaughn without hesitation. It was over between the two of us. There was no need to be
entangled.
With that, I hung up the phone, leaving no chance for Vaughn to speak.
I tidied up the documents on my desk and turned off the light before leaving.
It was already 10 o''clock, and there was no one in thepany except for the security guard at the
gate.
As the cool breeze blew, I pulled my clothes closer and stood beside the road to call a taxi.
It waste, and there were very few taxi drivers. I stood by the road and waited anxiously.
"Hollie."
Just as I saw a taxiing from not far away, someone shouted my name. I frowned slightly and
looked back. When I saw it was Vaughn, my mood immediately became agitated.
I ignored him and waved to the taxi not far away. When the taxi stopped in front of me, I opened the
door and was about to get in, but Vaughn stopped me.
"Hollie, I have something to tell you."
Vaughn took my arm and said anxiously.
Seeing that his face was so close to mine, anger rose in his heart. Not only anger but also disgust!
I shook off his hand and kept a distance from him. I looked at him coldly and said, "There''s nothing
between us. Why are you still looking for me?"
In the past, every time I saw Vaughn, my heart beat faster. Even if we had been together for seven
years, I still felt the same. But now, except for disgust and anger, I seemed to have no other feelings.
"Hollie. I know you hate me, but I still don''t want the two of us to act like enemies. Can you just give me
a chance to talk to you?"
Vaughn put his hand on the door of the taxi and looked at me anxiously, with anxiety in his eyes.
His words made me even angrier. How could he say this when our rtionship had gotten to this state
because of him? I would never have thought that Vaugh could be so shameless.
"I don''t hate you. I just feel disgusted. I don''t feel anything towards you!"
I looked at him coldly, and my tone was cold.
Yes, I had to admit that in the beginning, I hated him. I hated him for betraying me. I hated him for
giving up the rtionship between us for so many years. I hated that he was with my best friend.
But that was just in the beginning. Now that I didn''t love him anymore, I also didn''t hate him. It wasn''t
worth the effort.
"Are youing in or not? If you''re not, don''t waste my time."
Just as Vaughn was about to say something, an impatient voice came from the taxi driver.
"I''m sorry. She''s not taking the taxi."
Vaughn said this to the taxi driver, pulled me to his side, and then closed the door of the taxi.
"Wait a minute..."
