Chapter 24: EMBARRASSING SCENE


    Charles immediately began tending to Emma and then turned and shouted at Sarah, “What are you


    doing? Why did you push her?” He was angry and distraught to see his sister injured.


    He looked gaunt, probably because he had been waiting for her outside for such a long time. But why


    had he arrived at that moment? Sarah stared at him. Suddenly she felt as though the world was


    copsing around her. The whole thing was so awful, and she questioned whether she was in some


    sort of dreadful nightmare. What a fucking life!


    “Brother, she didn’t push me. I fell down by myself. Please don’t me her!” Emma said to him,


    innocently.


    Charles, however, was not convinced, “Why do you still defend her, Emma? I witnessed the whole thing


    just now.”


    Everyone in the café was now fixated upon the action that was unraveling before them. Sarah had


    never felt more embarrassed.


    She couldn’t stand it anymore. She had felt wronged enough. While Charles and Emma seemed to be


    fine with being observed like monkeys in a zoo, Sarah still wanted to hold on to any dignity she had left.


    Therefore, she picked up her own bag and turned to leave.


    Charles couldn’t believe it. He had been waiting for her for days on end, but she was stillpletely


    indifferent to him, even now she wanted to escape. How could she be so cold-hearted?


    Charles caught up with her, held her hands, and said, “Sarah, stop! Did I allow you to go?”


    Sarah tried her best to stay calm, “Let me go! You have no right!”


    “You are my girlfriend and a member of my staff. Why do I have no right?” Charles said coldly.


    Sarah looked into his eyes, “I have submitted my resignation. We have broken up!”


    “You have submitted it, but did I agree to it? Labor Contract Law stiptes: When thepany hasn’t

    vited any rules, the employee must submit their resignation at least one month in advance, and the


    never agreed to it. Do you think you are in charge of what happens between us?


    “You are ridiculous, Charles!” His words made Sarah angry, but she didn’t know how to refute him, so


    she snapped at him, “You want to be a child, but I am not. Let me go!”


    Charles clenched his teeth and did his utmost to control his anger. He held Sarah’s hands tightly and


    didn’t let her go even after her hands had turned red.


    Emma stood beside them and found things had be unbearable for her. It seemed that Charles


    was going to break at any moment. No one could control him if he broke out. He had always been


    stubborn from a young age. Emma hurried to persuade him, “Charles, let’s get out of here and talk


    somewhere else. This is not the right ce tomunicate.”


    Charles didn’t react to her plea, so Emma shook him by the arms. Sarah turned her face to look out of


    the window. She was unwilling to be seen by strangers in the coffee house. Emma continued to plead


    with Charles until suddenly, Charles held Sarah by the waist and dragged her out of the café.


    Sarah struggled to free herself but was no match for Charles’ strength. Emma kept pace with them


    while the waiter followed and yelled, “Miss, you didn’t pay for your coffees!”


    Emma stopped and hurried to produce a twenty-dor bill from her wallet and handed it over to the


    waiter. She told him to keep the change and ran after Charles and Sarah.


    Charles took Sarah to the passenger seat, then he walked around to the driver’s side, mming the


    door behind him. As soon as Emma got in the car, Charles drove away immediately, trying to escape


    the embarrassing scene he had left in his wake.


    Charles drove the car straight to his house, took Sarah out of the car, and brought her into his


    apartment. His apartment was avishly decorated two-story European-style house. It covered an area


    of more than one hundred square meters where only Charles and his maid resided. It was open and


    quiet. The maid, who was cleaning the house, was utterly stunned as Charles dragged Sarah into the


    house, followed by his sister, Emma.


    The maid didn’t say a word, but Charles recognized that she was ufortable and said, “Miss Brown,


    you can go home now. You needn’t clean up today.”


    Noticing how flustered and angry he was, she put on her jacket and quickly made her way out of the


    house.


    Sarah was screaming, “Charles, you are crazy! Let me go,” as Emma stood beside them, unsure of


    what to do.
