Chapter209
I smiled faintly at him and said, “It’s nothing, I didn’t blame you.. Fortunately, Reynaldo eventually invested in you, so let’s consider it as offsetting the money my dad borrowed from you.”
I wish you great success in your play in advance, and I also hope that you won’t lend money to my dad anymore in the future, is that possible?
“Ralda…”
“Alright, Winston,” Anton suddenly interrupted him, “everyone has their own aspirations, and you don’t have to force her. Come in, after all, we still have important matters to attend to.”
Winston tightly held the hand by his side and stared at me intently.
It was strange, his gaze towards me was completely different from Reynaldo’s.
Although Reynaldo’s eyes were always filled with hatred and cruelty when he looked at me, I wasn’t so afraid.
But at that moment, for some reason, the way Winston looked at me sent a strange chill and unfamiliarity deep within me.
A trace of doubt flashed through my mind.
I worked at Reynaldo’s company, did it have any negative impact on him?
Why did he react so big?
“I brought this table in for you.”
At this moment, Anton suddenly walked out of the elevator.
He was tall and immediately lifted the desk and put it into the elevator.
I quickly followed him into the elevator and thanked him.
He nodded lightly and his slender fingers landed on the elevator button as he asked me, “Which floor?”
“29th floor.”
going to
“29th floor?” Anton chuckled, “Isn’t that his Secretariat? Are you goi be his secretary?”
“Ralda…”
Without waiting for me to say anything, Winston excitedly exclaimed to me, “It’s one thing for you to work at his company, but why do you want to be his secretary? Are you so eager to be with him day and night?”
I looked at Winston in confusion, not understanding why he had such a strong reaction, such a great resentment.
Anton suddenly chuckled and said, “It seems like you really loved Reynaldo, Esmeralda.”
I remained silent.
Love is love, but I didn’t want to admit it.
Winston pulled my hand urgently and said, “Ralda, listen to me, Reynaldo wouldn’t love you. You are like a moth to a flame, and you will end up getting hurt.”
It’s not too late yet, so you should leave him quickly.
Besides, you have already divorced, why do you lock yourself in this cage
again?
Everyone understands the truth. but the problem is, it is not myself who is trapped now, but Reynaldo.
I said to him lightly. “You misunderstood. I just came here to work and get paid.”
Saying that. I went to shake his hand.
Just at that moment, the elevator door opened with a ‘ding‘.
Coincidentally. Reynaldo was standing at the elevator door.
felt really unlucky as I always bumped into him at times when I shouldn’t have.
He had just left with an angry demeanor, so why is he appearing on the 29th floor again?
The man’s previous anger had not yet dissipated, and now a gloomy aura. enveloped him.
Kimberly stood beside him, holding the documents, and stared at me in surprise, saying. “Ms. Duffy, weren’t you supposed to move to a different workstation? How come you’re mingling with our business partners again?”
I furrowed my brows and said, “Ms. Palmer, please watch your words. It’s inappropriate to say that I am nothing and use the word ‘mess‘ to describe our business partners, especially considering you are Mr. Humphrey’s personal secretary.”
Kimberly’s innocent face turned pale as she looked at Reynaldo with a look of grievance. “I was just wondering how Ms Duffy ended up with them, and I didn’t pay attention to my words for a moment, I…
Reynaldo raised his hand, indicating that she didn’t need to explain.
Kimberly pursed her lips and looked at me. When her gaze fell on Anton behind me, she momentarily froze.
I didn’t pay attention either.
After all, Anton was a big star, and even with a hat and a mask on, he still looked stunningly handsome.
So it was normal for Kimberly’s gaze to linger on him for a few more seconds.
Reynaldo glanced at me and coldly chuckled, “You two were holding hands quite tightly, huh?”
I suddenly realized that Winston was still holding onto my wrist.
I quickly went to shake Winston’s hand.
However, that man did not cooperate at all, still tightly holding onto my wrist, looking at me with deep and intense eyes.
I was extremely anxious.
The hostility on Reynaldo’s body grew heavier and a hint of murderous intent even flickered in his slightly narrowed eyes.
He was like this, so perverted and domineering.
As he said, the women he had encountered, even if he didn’t want them anymore, he wouldn’t allow other men to covet them.
