Chapter242
I feel a little nauseous now, so you can take this dish back and eat it yourselves, so that I won’t vomit in front of you later and affect your appetite.
Melany stared at me in astonishment, her slightly chubby face filled with both admiration and fear.
Kimberly’s face, on the other hand, was pale and greenish, as she said with a tone of grievance, “I also felt sorry for you, that’s why I…”
“Who asked you to pity me? Don’t go around pretending to be sympathetic and disgustingly compassionate all the time, okay?”
“Esmeralda!”
As soon as I finished speaking, Reynaldo immediately shouted at me with a cold warning.
I mocked myself in my heart.
Look, I just can’t mention this white lotus flower. Whenever I mention her, Reynaldo gets upset.
So, I should have been bullied by this white lotus flower, huh?
Feeling frustrated in my heart, I ignored them and dragged Melany away.
Kimberly’s voice choked with grievance from behind: “Reynaldo, I meant well, why does Ms. Duffy always have this attitude?”
I didn’t hear Reynaldo respond, but I could feel his sinister and cold gaze fixed on my back.

A touch of bitterness welled up in my heart, and I quickly walked out of the cafeteria, irritably kicking my feet.
Melany glanced at me and said, “Kimberly did speak a bit rudely.”
I was startled and looked at her, “Did you hear it?”
“Even a fool could tell that,” Melany said. “Kimberly’s words just now were filled with arrogance, seemingly for your own good, offering you two dishes to eat, but in reality, she was mocking you.”
Look, even Melany could tell.
But Reynaldo pretended to be deaf and dumb on purpose, favoring that
woman.
So, it wasn’t that Reynaldo couldn’t see Kimberly’s lotus–like characteristics, but rather that he deliberately indulged her.
With this thought, my heart became even more sour and bitter.
Melany said again, “Actually, Kimberly always has this arrogant attitude towards everyone, and everyone knows it. But there’s nothing we can do because she’s the woman Mr. Humphrey likes. So even if we don’t like her, we still have to flatter her, after all, for the sake of getting ahead in the company in the future.”
So Esmeralda, don’t be stubborn either, don’t go against her, otherwise your future days may be difficult.
“Unless…”
Melany spoke, casting a strange glance at me.
I asked listlessly, “Unless what?”
“Unless you could seduce Mr. Humphrey and snatch him back.”

As soon as I heard this, I walked away.
I really didn’t like hearing this.
I didn’t want to seduce Reynaldo.
Even if I was abused by Kimberly, I still wouldn’t want to seduce that
man.
“Oh, Esmeralda, why don’t you give it a try? If you can really win Mr. Humphrey back, you will become the president’s wife of this company in the future, and I can also benefit from it. How great would that be.”
“No way, I’d rather sweep the streets than care about this so–called president’s wife!”
“Ah!”
As soon as I finished speaking, Melany exclaimed and quickly caught up with me, shaking my arm and whispering, “Oh no, Mr. Humphrey followed us out and heard what you just said. This is bad.”
I subconsciously turned my head and caught sight of Reynaldo and Kimberly walking out of the cafeteria.
The man’s gaze at me was several degrees colder than before, and his eyes were as sharp as knives.
I turned around slowly and said to Melany, “Let’s go quickly, or else we will have to take the same elevator with him later.”
Melany, like a sudden enlightenment, hurriedly pulled me towards the
elevator.
Just as luck would have it, one elevator door opened and the employees at the entrance rushed inside.
Melany also pulled me and hurriedly squeezed inside.

Just as I squeezed in, about to breathe a sigh of relief, I saw Reynaldo also come in.
There were only people inside, and I was already standing on the outside. As soon as he came in, he got very close to me.
Beep! Beep! Beep!
Fortunately, at this moment, the alarm of elevator overload sounded.
I subconsciously thought, “Whoever came in last goes out.”
Reynaldo didn’t move, his cold eyes looked at me with a playful expression.
At this moment, people inside started to move, one after another, heading towards the outside.
Even Melany also rushed out with the crowd.
I was stunned, and when I came to my senses, everyone in the elevator had already left, leaving me standing there foolishly.
I hurriedly buried my head and also rushed outside.
But unexpectedly, a long arm stretched across in front of me, and immediately after, his fingers quickly pressed the door close button. “Reynaldo…”
When Kimberly hurried over, the elevator door was closing.
