Chapter211
I didn’t dare to look back. I just wanted to leave this battlefield as quickly as possible.
Suddenly, Reynaldo’s cold sneer came from behind: “Did you see that? Even if she was just doing odd jobs for me, she wouldn’t want to go with you.”
This was said to Winston.
But I couldn’t help but feel a clear sense of pride in his tone.
Oh!
Man. he really is competitive.
When I moved the table to the corner, I was so exhausted that my whole body was covered in sweat and I was almost fainting.
I was lazily lying in the chair, catching my breath, when I saw Reynaldo and the others go to the conference room.
Kimberly held the documents and followed behind them with her head held high.
Before Kimberly went in, she smiled at me proudly.
I rolled my eyes directly, really not knowing what she was so proud of.
I hadn’t even rested for a while when a colleague asked me to pour tea for him.
A colleague also asked me to print something for him.
Some colleagues even made me clean up the trash under their desks.

Fortunately, I had also done odd jobs at Winston’s company before, and these tasks were not difficult at all, just a bit tiring.
On my first day here, they also took the pleasure of bullying me to the
extreme.
Throughout the whole day. I was practically made to do every trivial matter, as if I were being treated like a servant.
However, thinking about the salary of 20,000, I also accepted it.
What else could be done?
Reynaldo clearly intended for me to be humiliated, so resistance was basically futile.
After finally enduring until half past five in the afternoon, I didn’t dare to stay longer at the company because I still had to go find a place to live.
Just now, I took a look on my phone when I had some free time.
There were many single apartments for rent nearby.
But it’s expensive, it costs five thousand a month, and it’s also one month’s rent as a deposit, which means I have to pay ten thousand upfront.
But currently, I only have less than ten thousand in total, so renting this kind of bachelor apartment is obviously not suitable.
So I decided to go to the nearby residential area to look for that kind of stair house.
It was late autumn, and the nights were getting darker earlier.
When I walked out of the company, dragging my suitcase, the sky had
already completely darkened.
I stood at the entrance, looking around in confusion, not knowing which direction to go to find that kind of cheap walk–up apartment.
Forget it. I’ll just hail a taxi by the roadside and have the driver take me there.
I lifted the suitcase and carefully walked down the stairs.
Suddenly, a black commercial van slowly stopped in front of me.
I was stunned, staring blankly as the car window slowly rolled down.
Next, I saw Reynaldo’s cold and indifferent profile.
He didn’t speak, nor did he look at me, he just parked the car in front of me like that.
So, was he trying to give me a ride?
But I didn’t want to take his car, I didn’t want him to see me in a desperate state, searching for cheap houses everywhere, and I also didn’t want him to know where the house I found was.
His patience at the moment was quite impressive. I didn’t say anything, and he didn’t show any intention of rushing me at all.
He just leaned back on the chair in silence, his slender and attractive hand casually resting on the steering wheel.
I pursed my lips and decided to speak up first, “Thank you for your kindness, but I can take a taxi by myself.”
Reynaldo suddenly chuckled, pulling out a cigarette and tilting his head to light it, his posture surprisingly alluring.
I took two steps back and watched him quietly.
He never spoke, just smoked his cigarette leisurely, and I didn’t know what he meant.
I frowned slightly and couldn’t help but say again, “I really don’t need you to drive me, I can take a taxi myself.”
“Reynaldo…”
However, as soon as I finished speaking, Kimberly’s gentle and sweet yoice drifted from behind me.
I stiffened all over, and my cheeks were slightly flushed.
So, you could say that I was being overly sentimental?
Wasn’t it Kimberly who was waiting here, not me, Reynaldo?
Reynaldo then turned his head slightly and looked at me.
The man had a smile on his lips, his gaze was cold and slightly mocking, which made me feel even more embarrassed.
I lowered my head and said, “I’m sorry, Mr. Humphrey. I made a mistake. I’ll leave first.
