Chapter 619: Helen Was The One George Loved


    Helen’s POV


    The next morning, Lucy and I traveled to work together.


    Sheined endlessly about George’s ruthlessness all the way "I’ve never met such a scoundrel in


    my life! Before I went to Florida, he promised me that I would receive a handsomemission as long


    as I would bring Dyer to him. Now that I made it and Dyer came to New York, he had broken his


    promise! If he didn’t want to pay me themission, he could have told me fat out.


    But no! He had to send me on a wild goose chase to the human resource and finance departments.


    They threw their policies in my face andughed behind my back! What a fool I was to trust George!


    Damn it! He is a hypocrite.


    A utilitarian like him cannot be trusted! I’ve never been wrong before! I’ll take this encounter with


    George as a serious lesson about trust.


    Helen, you should apud yourself for breaking up with that cheat It’s the best decision you’ve


    made.He can never honor his word!"


    Lucy was in a frenzy all the way until we got out of the subway I’d been listening to herints


    quietly, but my heart was a raging river George had no reason to treat Lucy so badly Obviously, he did


    so just to embarrass me.


    It was a private matter between George and me Why did he have to drag Lucy into it? Why was he


    being so mean to her? The more I thought about it, the more depressed I felt.


    As soon as I arrived at Zhester Technology, I went directly to George’s office.


    On seeing me, George’s assistant rushed to stop me.


    "Miss Dewar! Mr Arfleck is in a meeting right now.On no ount can he be disturbed If there is


    anything you need, let me know and I’ll convey your message to him."


    She lookededic trying to block my way with her outstretched hands I brushed past her.


    "No, thanks I will wait in his office"


    I openly defied George’s assistant and pushed open the door.


    In fact, I was only putting on a brave front.I was nervous, but I had to do what was right in my heart for


    Lucy "Miss Dewar! You can’t go in without an appointment!"


    George’s exasperated assistant followed me and tried to stop me again.


    However, I ignored her instruction and barged in.


    George was indeed having a meeting He was engaged with Jane and Boswell around the small


    meeting table.


    As I entered, they all looked up at me, disturbed.


    "George, is your office essible to just anyone right now?"


    Jane asked coldly George frowned but didn’t answer her Boswell however, greeted me with a gentle


    look


    "Miss Dewar, what do you want to see George so urgently about? We are in an important meeting If


    you’re not in a hurry, you coulde back when we’re done"


    I nodded apologetically "I apologize for my intrusion I’ll wait outside When I was about to leave, George


    addressed me "What do you want? With a frown, he suspended the meeting, got up, walked to his


    desk and invited me in I felt it was inappropriate to discuss Lucy’s matter in front of Jane and Boswell,


    so i flinched


    "I didn’t mean to bother you.I cane back some other time"


    I had suddenly lost the confidence I had rushed in with I admitted I was a bit impulsive, and I regretted


    it the moment I barged in But I had no choice.I had to talk to George "Helen, I’mri very busy Tell me


    what you need."


    He looked at me emotionless Even so, he still sat back down at his desk and waited patiently for me to


    exin my urgency I clenched my fists and plucked up the courage


    "If you are upset about what happened between us, I am ready to apologize to you I think you know


    how difficult it was for Lucy to finally get Dyer to New York from Florida The task was fraught with


    challenges yet she seeded in her assignment."


    George looked at me, confused.


    "What exactly do you want to say "I mean that although things didn’t work out between us, that does


    not mean that you should take it out on Lucy She has dedicated a lot to this position and has worked


    extremely hard Why haven’t you held up your end of the bargain and paid her themission she is


    duly entitled to? Besides, Lucy is very persistent She will definitely hound Dyer until he joins Zhester


    Technology."


    I said firmly All of a sudden, George burst out into a horrendousugh that left me shocked.It was filled


    with cold haughtiness.


    "Do you honestly think that I instructed them to make life difficult for Lucy?"


    Had I misunderstood him? Why would they treat Lucy so rudely if George hadn’t instructed them to? I


    subconsciously wanted to argue back, but when I saw the anger on his face, I held back my words.


    I looked at him sharply with my head high in an unyielding manner.


    "Who are you to barge into my office and question me?" George asked reproachfully staring at me "Do


    you think I am the genie who will fulfill your everymand?"


    I was stunned by George’s words.


    Why was I so confident before I came in? I had assumed that George had a soft spot for me and would


    give in to my demands.


    Hence, my gatecrashing his office..His stern questioning made me suddenly ashamed of myself for


    having crossed the line.


    "I’m sorry for my impulsiveness.I just wanted to seek justice for Lucy." I said to George.


    trying really hard to keep calm "I know that Lucy will get Dyer into thepany. I sincerely hope you


    will deliver on your promise."


    After finishing my words, I left his office without looking back.I ran away as fast as my legs would carry


    me the moment I closed the door.I hadmitted a terrible mistake.


    Although George and I were never in a serious rtionship, we were close for a while As a result of


    that, I was probably looking at the current situation with rose tinted sses.

    George was absolutely right.


    It was not within my rights to question him.


    Jane’s POV


    I took a look at the closed door and then at George, my eyes shouting in silence Although he


    pretended to be fine, I could still see widespread sadness and loneliness in his eyes Before I could


    recover from the shock, I saw George make internal calls to the human resource and the finance


    departments to confirm payment of Lucy’smission "Yes.Pay her from my personal ount.Do it


    now!"


    There was no hesitation or strain in his voice Because of a woman, he had once again broken the


    principles that he had adhered to for years "What was that all about?"


    Boswell asked curiously "Let’s continue with the meeting."


    George deliberately changed the subject.


    He sat back down at the meeting table, without offering any kind of exnation Boswell and I looked at


    each other and realized that it was Helen whom George really loved Lucy was just a smoke screen.


    How on earth could it be Helen? Why did George love her? Why her of all people? I kept running these


    questions in my mind.


    The nightmare of my youth suddenly swept over me, and I was caught off guard..


    After work, I called my mother "Did you have a quarrel with George?" my mother asked before I could


    say anything My mother and I were more like best friends than mother and daughter.


    She could always read right through me.


    "No,"


    I denied "I haven’t seen George for a long time I am nning toe there next week.Is that okay with


    you?" my mother said softly.


    – "Mom, what makes you want toe back so suddenly?" I asked in surprise.


    My mother had note back even once since we moved abroad.


    "You’ve gone back.What’s the point of me living abroad alone? I’m lonely here.I’ve been abroad for too


    long.No matter how good the life here is, there’s no ce like home," my mother replied.
