Chapter 611: Get Even With Her


    Helen’s POV:


    I woke up in the middle of the night, feeling thirsty. I got up from the bed, still dazed, intending to go to


    the kitchen to get a ss of water. When I passed by the living room, I noticed someone sleeping on the


    sofa. George was too tall for the sofa, so he had to curl up to fit himself into it. The weather had grown


    coldtely, and all he had was a thin nket to cover himself. He looked pitiful. In the end, I didn’t have


    the heart to leave him like that.


    Thus, I went back to my room to grab a quilt and used it to cover him up. Once I had tucked him in and


    was ready to leave, he suddenly grabbed my wrist and pulled me closer. I staggered back to the sofa


    and fell into his arms. Slowly, he opened his eyes. He had one hand on my wrist and the other holding


    my waist. unwilling to let me leave.


    “Do you care about me?”


    Somehow, his gruff voice sounded happy. His eyes were surprisingly bright amidst the darkness.


    Because he was holding me, I couldn’t move. Our faces were so close to each other that they were


    almost pressed together.


    When I looked into his eyes, I was lost in thought, and I kept on staring at him. Fortunately, I was able to


    pull myself together. I told myself that I shouldpose myself and I should never let myself be deceived


    again.


    This man wasn’t suitable for me! I struggled to get up and said, “It’s just if you freeze to death in my


    house, I’ll be held ountable for it.”


    George chuckle at my remark. “You don’t have to do this. I chose to be here.”


    “Suit yourself.” Flustered, I ran back to my room and locked the door behind me. As Iy on my bed, my


    heart raced, and I became restless


    The next morning, after getting dressed, I walked out of the room, only to find that George was still there.


    “What are you still doing here?” I shot him a re, grabbed the document on the table, and paced


    towards the door.


    “I can’t give you the file yet. I still have to use it.” George took the document from my hand and added,


    “Let’s go to thepany together. I’ll buy you some breakfast along the way. You’re already an adult,


    and yet you seem so clueless on living.”


    The way he spoke to me as he walked ahead of me sounded like he was rebuking me but was also


    concerned. It was as if he hadpletely forgotten that I told him that we should never speak to each


    other again


    Our interaction made it seem like we didn’t even have a huge fight a few days ago. But I, on the other


    hand, couldn’t pretend like nothing happened.


    Despite the fact that he refused to face them, those problems still existed. Even if we could pretend like


    nothing happened, Jane was and would still remain a problem between me and George. As long as that


    bitch remained in my life, I would never be able to move on.


    By then, maybe George and I would just blow up again amidst all the umted conflicts, And if that


    were to happen, our rtionship would be irredeemable. I forced myself to calm down.


    As I stood by the door, I looked into his eyes and asked, “Are you sure you won’t see or contact Jane


    anymore?”


    It was such a simple choice. All he had to do was to choose between me and Jane. George frowned,


    falling silent for a long time. He didn’t answer my question.


    All throughout our rtionship, he had never clearly expressed his love for me. No matter how nervous I


    was, I knew that if I truly loved someone, I would definitely tell him.


    The truth was, he just didn’t love me. Perhaps he was infatuated with me at some point or something, but


    that feeling wouldn’t be enough to make him give up on Jane. It was clear enough, wasn’t it? In all


    honesty, all of my attempts were unnecessary.


    I knew that his answer wasn’t what I wanted to hear. Why did I keep asking him over and over? Now


    that I had realized that, I wanted to free myself of those messy thoughts. I just wanted to get the


    document from him.


    “Give me the document. I need it, too.” “Just leave it to me for now. I really need it.” George walked out


    along with the document. I went after him and furrowed my brows.


    “Are you really going to tell Anya that I lost this document yesterday?” Aside from that, I had no clue what


    he’d use the document for.


    “It’s possible,” George replied. What he said only pissed me off. He knew how serious the impact would


    be on my career if my boss found out about this, but he intended on telling on me.


    Even though I knew he was actually doing the right thing, it still made me feel sad when he said he’d do


    it.


    I was so angry that I walked out. When I passed by his car, I didn’t bother to go in and even kicked the


    door out of frustration. The car didn’t move an inch, but my foot got hurt pretty bad.


    “How childish.” Georgeughed from behind me, closed the door, and followed me to the subway station


    Upon our arrival at the Zhester Technology building, Phil approached us with a stern expression.


    “Helen, did you lose Smart Technology’spany constitution?”


    “How did you know that?” I asked in surprise. I didn’t expect the news to spread so fast. If Phil knew


    about it, Anya probably knew about it, too. It seemed that George really nned to make a big fuss


    about this.


    “Anya is here as well. You made a big mistake this time. Why are you so careless? Listen, I’ll try to keep


    this issue under wraps and make sure it doesn’t spread. Otherwise, it’ll be difficult for you to gain a


    foothold in thew industry in the future!”


    Although Phil was disappointed in me, I could tell that he really cared about me. He looked even more


    anxious that I was.


    Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org.


    I was just a neer. If this issue were to spread out, my reputation would be ruined and I would never


    found a job as awyer ever again. Nobody would be willing to employ awyer who lost their client’s


    important document.


    “Thank you, Phil,” I said with all the sincerity and gratitude I could muster.


    “Don’t thank me so soon. George is the one who informed Anya to be in thepany today. In all


    honesty, he is the CEO and he wouldn’t usually care about something this trivial. But this time, he


    contacted Anya without even informing Soren. Needless to say, he’s pissed,” Phil exined.


    George was the one who asked Anya to be here? Was he nning to humiliate me in public? Why was


    he making such a big fuss about it? Was he trying to get even with me by getting me fired?
