Chapter 45 Taking Leave
"Fired? Has someone been fired for beingte before?"
Brandon frowned and looked at me in confusion.
"I think I''m very likely to be the first, because I have offended my boss. Now all the people in the
Hearing Brandon''s words, I lowered my head gloomily. In fact, I really didn''t want to go to work recently
because I could feel that all the colleagues in thepany were talking about me. Rudy was piling
work on me just because I had rejected him before. I even had to deal with the issues regarding the
logistics department.
"Why?"
Brandon''s handsome brows furrowed tightly as he looked at me with a probing look in his eyes.
At first, I didn''t want to tell anyone that Rudy had tried to take advantage of me, but I had been keeping
it in for so long. Everyone thought that I had seduced him. I felt wronged.
I didn''t know why, but I told Brandon about how Rudy had tried to take advantage of me.
As soon as I finished speaking, Brandon''s expression darkened. I was shocked and looked at him in a
panic. Did he think that I was tattling for my benefit just because I''d slept with him a few times? What if
that''s what he thinks of me?
"Did Rudy touch your chest?"
Just as I was panicking about how to exin, Brandon''s cold voice rang out. His handsome face was
gloomy as I looked at him. I couldn''t figure out what he was thinking.
"Yes..."
I responded in a low voice, not sure what Brandon meant.
"I will handle this matter. Hollie Hunter, listen to me. Before I end our rtionship, you cannot let any
other man touch your body. Do you hear me?"
Brandon looked at me with a dark expression, with a hint of warning in his voice.
I looked at him helplessly. It was Rudy who took advantage of me. I also felt very disgusted by his
actions, but to him, it sounded as if I wanted to let him touch me.
"I understand. I''ll be careful in the future."

Although I was a little angry, I still spoke obediently on the surface.
Hearing my answer, Brandon nced at me indifferently. Then he picked up the cup of coffee beside
him and drank it elegantly as if he had forgotten me. As time passed by, I became more anxious. Even
if I left for work now, I''d still bete.
"Brandon, do you have any woman''s clothes here? Can you lend me some?"
I turned to look at Brandon, who was sitting on the sofa. Seeing that he was focused on the newspaper
in his hand, I asked tentatively.
"Do you think I look like someone who would randomly bring women home?"
Brandon turned to look at me. His voice was slightly raised, with coldness.
Wasn''t he? He did just bring me homest night.
I couldn''t help but criticize him in my heart, but I didn''t dare to say that out loud, because Brandon''s
character was unpredictable. He might get angry if I went against him.
"Then do you have any clothes for me or not? You can''t let me be naked all the time, can you?"
I lowered my head and looked at myself. I was still wrapped in a bedsheet. I couldn''t walk around like
this all the time. Besides, the maids were staring at me, and their gazes made me really ufortable.
"It''s convenient if you''re naked like this. I have an event to attend this afternoon, so I''m not going to
work in the morning. We still have some time for sex."
...
I looked at Brandon speechlessly, feeling a little angry. This man was trying to make things difficult for
me on purpose. He didn''t need to go to work, but I had to. What if I was really fired?
"Brandon, can you be a little more empathetic? I know it''s just a rtionship of convenience between
us, but you can''t be so overbearing. You''re going to make me lose my job!"
I tried to persuade him patiently.
"You won''t lose your job. Thepany is mine. We''ve never fired an employee just for beingte. At
most, you''ll get a pay cut, but don''t worry, I willpensate you ten times the money you lost."
Brandon acted like a rich man. He immediately offered me ten times the amount of money. Even
though I normally dislike people who threw money around in front of me like money was the ultimate
solution to everything, who was I to refuse his offer of paying me ten times the amount I lost? I couldn''t
just give up this golden opportunity. I needed the money for my father''s post-operation recovery. My
sry wasn''t enough for that.
"That''s what you said, you''re going topensate me ten times the amount I lose. I''ll call in absent to
work, or they might really fire me."
I sat in front of Brandon and reached for my bag on the table. I took out my phone and called Rudy.
Even though I didn''t really want to talk to my disgusting superior, I still had to because he was still my
boss. I couldn''t let him have a hold on me.
Brandon sat next to me with a calm face and continued to drink his coffee.
The call connected. Before I could speak, Rudy''s roar came from the other end of the phone. "Hollie
Hunter, what''s wrong with you? Do you know what time is it now? Why aren''t you at work? Do you still
want this job?"
I knew that since I offended Rudyst time, he had been waiting for me to make a mistake. But before
today, I had been working hard and being meticulous with my work so that he couldn''t find any trouble
for me. But now that I''mte without an excuse, he was going to hold this over me.
"Manager, I really need a day off today. I''m sorry..."
I suppressed the anger in my heart and exined to Rudy on the other end of the phone.
"What do you take thepany as? Do you think you can just take a day off whenever you want? Do
you really think a call is enough?"
Rudy''s furious voice came from the other end of the phone. I knew that he was deliberately picking on
me. My heart was burning with anger, but I didn''t dare to vent it.
"I really have something to do. Can you just allow me one day of leave?"
I said to Rudy on the other end of the phone, trying to please him, although what I really wanted to do
was curse him.
"I can approve your leave if that''s what you want. I''m a very easy-going person."
Rudy''s attitude suddenly softened a lot. I was happy and quickly thanked him.
"Manager, thank you."
"Don''t thank me. I haven''t finished yet."
