Chapter 221


    "Miss Hodges, may I trouble you to take us there?" Abbie looked at me with a smile.


    I still don''t know where she wanted me to take me, but I instinctively thought that there was no good


    news. After all, Abbie would definitely not think of me if there was a good thing, so I refused without


    thinking about it.

    "Sorry, I still have work to do." With that, I lowered my head and continued my work.


    Abbie could still hear their conversation. She said, "Brother Harrison, since Miss Hodges doesn''t


    want to take us around, why don''t we go and take a look ourselves?"


    "The information is already on your table. What else can I read?" Harrison said lightly.


    "How can it be considered as taking over this ce without an inspection?" Abbie asked with a


    smile.


    Hearing their conversation, I was speechless at Abbie''s thick skin. I had never seen anyone more


    shameless than her in my life. No wonder she was able to be friends with Maisy. They were all


    like snakes and rats!


    "He''s talking to Harrison in front of me. It''s obvious that he wants me to get angry and see how I''m


    going to react. I should be disdainful of such childish behavior."


    How could I, who was nearly 30 years old, y tricks with these little girls? I still felt ashamed when


    theypeted for a man. While thinking, I took a pen and made a heavy cut on the paper.


    Perhaps because Harrison hadn''t responded for a long time, Abbie continued, "Anyway, we don''t


    have much to do right now. We won''t lose anything even if we go take a look."


    As she spoke, she took Harrison''s arm.


    I couldn''t help but look up at them with a sneer. "Both of you have just arrived at thepany. You


    don''t have to put on a show in front of a small fry like me, do you?"


    Oh no, I looked at Harrison meaningfully. "Mr. Stewart''s job is to apany female employees?"


    "What are you talking about!" Abbie said angrily, "No matter what, we don''t need you to talk


    nonsense. Just take care of your own business!"


    "It''s none of my business, but it depends on who it is," I said.


    Abbie looked at me coldly and mocked, "Who do you think you are, Miss Hodges? Remember,


    there are many people who want to fly to the top of a branch and be a phoenix, but how many


    of them really want to go up?"


    "Do you know what happened to the people who didn''t go up?" I asked with a chuckle.


    If you don''t understand Abbie''s words, then I''ve lived for decades in vain. If you want to make me


    suffer, you have to do it a few years ago. Right now, I don''t want to suffer a single loss!


    "Especially now that it has something to do with Harrison. He can control my life. Why should I


    tolerate his colorful life?"


    "Those who didn''t go up will naturally be smashed to pieces. There''s no need to guess." Hearing my


    words, Abbie couldn''t stopughing, as if she had just made a big joke out of me.


    Fortunately, thepany has done a good job in managing thepany. No one came to watch


    us, even if we were in such a mess. They just pricked up their ears to listen in private.


    I looked at Abbie and looked back and forth between Harrison and her. Finally, I shook my head


    regretfully and said, "In this era, no one needs to be a phoenix. Those are things left behind by the


    ancestors. And now, most of the people who can''t be a phoenix have a branch. Why do we need to


    fly up?"


    As I spoke, I always had a faint smile on my face as I looked at Abbie, and the expression on my


    face changed again and again.


    "As long as you''re not a fool, you can understand what I mean. I''m mocking Abbie. When she didn''t


    have the chance to fly to Harrison''s branch, he had already been taken over by me. How could I not


    be happy?"


    However, it wasn''t easy to fool Abbie. It didn''t take long for me to see that her expression had


    recovered a little. In a voice that only the three of us could hear, she said, "Chelsea, the mantis


    catches the cicada and unaware of the canary. This won''t be the end in the future, will it?"


    "I don''t care if the ending is right or not. People should cherish the present."


    With that, I looked up at Harrison and asked, "What''s wrong? Do you still want to continue shopping


    with Miss Ling?"


    This scene was originally caused by him. Why should we two women argue here? Why should he


    stand aside like an insignificant person and not speak?


    Even if he doesn''t want to talk, I must drag him into the water!


    Sure enough, as soon as my voice fell, Harrison frowned. Then Abbie took his arm and said with


    grievance, "Brother Harrison, look at this woman..."


    "She''s right." Harrison didn''t even look at her. He looked straight at me and said, "Abbie, pay


    attention to your words in the future. I''ve just confirmed the rtionship between a man and a


    woman with Miss Hodges."


    "What?" Abbie cried out in surprise.


    This voice caused a few seconds of turmoil in the office, but soon it returned to normal. Looking at


    Harrison, I was very happy, but I didn''t want to show it on my face.


    While I was happy, I heaved a sigh of relief in my heart. In fact, I was really betting that Harrison


    would not confess our rtionship in front of Abbie. Even though I understood that the Ling Family


    had countless ties with Harrison''s business, I would not tolerate it and suffer.


    If he hadn''t admitted it in front of Abbie just now, I might have resigned and left this ce. From


    then on, I would never appear in front of Harrison again. I would treat everything that happened


    between me and him as a dream and live an ordinary life.


    "I still have a card worth hundreds of thousands of yuan in my hand. What''s there to worry about?"


    Thinking of this, I smiled again.


    "Very happy?"


    A cold voice interrupted my thoughts. When I looked up, I saw Harrison standing in front of me. His


    expression was the same as usual, but Abbie, who was originally standing beside him, had already


    disappeared.


    Harrison chuckled and said, "He has been driven away by you. What else do you want to see?"


    "They were all driven away by me. Why don''t you go after them?" I asked innocently.


    He didn''t reply. He took a step forward and approached me. Just as I was about to retreat, he said


    in a low voice, "If you take a step back, I''ll go after Abbie."


    This sentence sessfully stopped me. I red at him and said, "Shameless!"


    "Oh?" Harrison deliberately asked, "Tell me, where are you shameless?"


    "Are you shameless? Are you shameless? Or are you... shameless?" Thest four words were


    spoken in my ear.


    When he spoke, the hot air kept blowing in my ears. It was itchy, and my heart was like a cat''s paw.


    "Weren''t you pretty powerful just now? Why aren''t you speaking now?" He asked again.


    At this moment, I deeply suspected that he was doing it on purpose. If it wasn''t for the fact that he


    was trying to provoke me, I would have even suspected that he was seeking revenge for Abbie.


    I took a deep breath and raised my head to smile at him. "Am I not right? If you want me to lower


    myself in front of Abbie, I''m afraid it''ll be impossible for me to do so for the rest of my life."


    "So, do you want to consider whether to choose Abbie, who can help you, or me, who has nothing?"
