Chapter 417 Are You Suspicious Of Me
This was all she ever dreamed of and all she wanted for herself.
"Well, that sounds right." The man smiled grimly and pinched Le''s chin, taking a glimpse at her face
under the dim light. A secondter, he said with satisfaction, "You look pretty. I like it."
Le remained motionlessly since she was gripped by fear not knowing his intentions. She was afraid
the man would snap her neck if he got irritated and was not pleased by what she said.
Slowly, the man put down his hands and loosened his grip. Gazing at Le, he addressed her in a
vicious tone, "If you really want to be with Charles, then you have to listen to me and follow my
directions carefully, or..."
However, before the man could finish his sentence, Le interrupted him after seconds'' hesitation. "Are
you serious? Do you really get a way to let me be with Charles?" Though frightened, Le still wanted
to ensure if the man was telling the truth.
"Of course I am not joking, " replied the man with a sneer. "I promise you that you could be with him
within half a year as long as you would follow my words. Just wait and watch, " he added.
"Okay, I will make the deal with you." Le replied without any hesitation, when she heard this
assurance from the man, especially as she got fired today and had not other hope.
Now that Charles dismissed her, Le had no chance to get close to him at all. If she wanted to be with
him, the only choice was to obey the man standing in front of her. He was thest straw that could save
her from drowning alone.
"What do you want me to do?" Le asked in a resolute tone; she had made up her mind.
She would like to do anything as long as she could be with Charles.
"Good girl, I like the sound of your determination!" After hearing this from Le, the man patted her face
with great content. "Go back and submit your resignation letter. Finish the handover procedure today
itself. Then you could go back home and have a good rest. But you have to keep your phone alive all
day long and I will call you if necessary. Remember that."
"That''s it?" Shocked by the man''s words, Le widened her eyes as she didn''t expect things would be
so smooth. She did trust the man a moment ago, but now she began to be suspicious as to how things
could unfurl in her favor so simply.
"Are you doubting me?" The man looked severe as he sensed the growing suspicioun in her eyes.
"The most annoying thing in my life is to be suspected by others. And I don''t hope it will happen again,
" he said in a harsh voice.
"No... That is not what is happening." Le hastily exined. She was frightened by the man''s fierce
eyes and she was so afraid that she would annoy him which could lead him to kill her.
"That''s enough." The man turned back impatiently and added, "Just follow my words. Don''t try to
badger with Charles during this period. I will call you when it is necessary and do not try to contact me
otherwise."
"Lead her out, " said the man in a loud voice. As soon as he finished speaking, therge iron gate
opened while two men in ck suit walked in, and started taking steps towards Le.
Just when they were about to cover her eye with a ck strip of cloth, Le blurted out in a hurry, "How
can I contact you, if the situation warrants it?"
"There is no need for you to contact me. I will call you. That is all that you need to know, " replied the
man indifferently. As he was done with his sentence, the man said nothing more and remained silent.
Le could do nothing but let them cover her eyes. Soon she was taken into a car and when she got off
the car, she found she was right under the Shining Company in line with the next step she had to take.
She was pushed out of the car and soon the car vanished from her sight. It was so quick that no one
would have noticed.
If it weren''t for the ck strip in her hands, she would suspect that everything she had just experienced
was a dream.
"Le, you are finally back. There are many works pilled up waiting for you. What took you so long?"
Davidined to her as she showed up. However, Le just put down the files in her hands and
responded, "Well, David, I..." She paused for a bit and said, "I have to go through the handover
procedure now."
"What are you saying? Handover procedure?" David was confused by what he heard. "What do you
mean?" he asked, his face puzzled.
"Nothing. Never mind, " replied Le to cut the chat short. Instead of exining to David, Le packed
up her things and went directly to HR Department.
The handover process was smooth and it only took her a few minutes since Charles had already
notified the HR manager in advance to speed the process.
After taking her box filled with personal items, Le walked out slowly. As she went away, Le looked
back at Shining Company longingly.
Even though she stayed here just for a short time, she had taken this ce as her home. After all she
did her work with utmost dedication and sincerity. Now she was forced to leave, and she felt hard to
part from this ce. After all her beloved man was there and not with her.
But Le assured herself that she woulde back sooner orter. And she vowed to herself that the
day she would return, she would be Charles''s wife, and thendy of Shining Company.
Therefore, there was no need for her to dwell over this and grieve.
At the thought of this, Le let out a sigh of relief.
At Dream Garden
It took Autumn quite a while to calm down since she was pushed today also. Charles took the dishes
that he ordered from the restaurant into the bedroom.
When he got in, Abby was chatting with Autumn in the room. She had calmed down which also relieved
Charles somehow.
All content ? N/.?vel/Dr/ama.Org.
"Autumn,e over here. Eat some food." Charles put the dishes down on the table right beside the
bed and said softly.
Abby rolled her eyes at Charles to show her discontent as Charles entered. Obviously, Abby was angry
about what happened today.
All this could have been avoided if Charles was more careful.
"Abby, I..." Charles turned to Abby as he looked hesitant. "I want to have a talk with Autumn alone, " he
finally said. After a small pause, Abby nodded slightly and then walked out the room.
After Abby left, Charles took a bowl of soup for Autumn and said gently, "Have some soup. Don''t just
eat vegetables. Slurp up the broth."
Silent, Autumn said nothing. Though she was clear that Le bought the ne herself and she even
did all of this deliberately, Autumn still lost her mind at that time simply because she cared about
Charles so much.
Instead of being impatient, Charles just sat beside quietly and got another bowl of soup for her. Once
Autumn finished eating, Charles did not clear away the tes immediately and instead said, "Autumn,
do you feel better now? I want to have a small chat with you."
Though Charles knew well that Autumn may not understand what he was going to say, he was
determined to try his best or Le would always remain like a thorn deep in Autumn''s heart and it would
cause her to explode at any time.
Leaning on the couch in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, Autumn was enjoying the sun bath. After
Charles finished speaking, Autumn replied leisurely, "What do you want to talk?"
"Le. I want to talk about it with you." As Autumn heard this name from Charles, Autumn felt
astonished but soon she calmed down. Hesitating for a few seconds, she then turned to Charles and
said seriously, "Well, then let''s talk and get over with this."
After all, it had to be solved sooner orter.
Moving closer to Autumn, Charles started first, "Autumn, I didn''t know anything about the ne until
today. Please do not pay any heed to it."
"I know and I understand everything. You do not need to exin anything, " replied Autumn in a low
voice. Though she was in a bad mental space, she was now able to distinguish truth from false.
It was obvious that Le strived to irritate Autumn. But it was fortunate that Charles went back in time,
or she would be deceived.
"We quarreled several times because of Le, and I always said that you may overthink about it. But I
found that you were right today. It was me who was too careless."
''Now that I have made the mistake, I have to rectify it and take good care of Autumn since she has
been wronged for such a long time.'' Charles thought to himself.
Upon hearing this, Autumn still kept silent and said nothing. All she cared about was her baby and she
would protect her baby from hurt at any cost.
"Autumn..." Charles held her hands gently and went on, "I just received the call from HR Department.
They told me that Le has been suspended from office. And we have nomon ground with her
anymore."
