Chapter 31 She Was Being Overly Sentimental
In the morning, when Mayra left home, she made herself breakfast first.
The house now completely belonged to her. She didn’t have to beg at Oliver’s villa anymore, and she still had four million dollars in savings. In the days to come, she wouldn’t have to rely on others for a twenty- thousand–dollar medical bill.
Thinking about the medical expenses, she immediately looked up Colten’s phone number and added him as a WhatsApp friend.
But until noon break, they did not agree over there, so she could only send a text message.
“Mr. Colten, I still owe you twenty thousand dollars. I wonder if it’s convenient for you to add me on WhatsApp.”
Colten didn’t come back; he was always so indifferent.
Mayra sat at her desk for a while when suddenly she saw Haleigh walking over and placing a project contract on her desk.
“Esmary’s charity project over there, allows you to go there in person. Now go back and pack a few things to set off. If Ms. Mayra can’t handle. this hardship, she can also resign and leave immediately. After all, there is no difference in the department with or without you.”
When the others in the department heard that this task fell on Mayra’s shoulders, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Esmary was extremely poor, and on top of that, she was working with the government, so she couldn’t make much profit. The so–called “gilding the lily” was also useless, because anyone who could join the Morton Group

didn’t need this kind of recognition.
This was a project that purely involved enduring hardships.
Whoever goes is unlucky, and now it is Mayra who is unlucky.
Everyone’s faces visibly lit up with joy, and they began insincerely congratulating Mayra.
“Mayra, this was highly regarded by the higher–ups.”
‘Yeah, we didn’t even have the chance to go.”
Mayra had already promised Colten that she could personally go to Esmary’s charity project that night, but she couldn’t stand these hypocritical people.
“If you really want to go, I will go talk to Mr. Colten right now. He just asked me to choose an assistant, so you can sign up actively.”
This sentence instantly silenced the speakers, their faces turning pale and
green.
Mayra got up and went to the top floor, carrying the project materials.
Because Haleigh didn’t like her, she didn’t reveal much to her. She didn’t even know who she was going to Esmary with or what time exactly.
But when she reached the top, what she saw was Jared.
Jared saw her and immediately frowned, “Ms. Mayra.”
“Is Mr. Colten available? Regarding Esmary’s charity project, I have very little information here, and I would like to…”
“The president did not see anyone today.”

“But I am about to leave soon to pack up my things, so I need to know the specific itinerary at least.”
After she finished speaking. Jared had no reaction.
Mayra felt a wave of disappointment in her heart, as if her cheeks had been slapped several times.
From the moment she woke up in the hospital, she had grown accustomed to being disliked by others.
But she always felt that maybe Colten was different.
He shouldn’t have disliked her like other people did.
But now it seems that she was just being sentimental.
Her situation was like a deserted island, where no one would want to approach her voluntarily, let alone expect to gain others‘ favor.
She smiled and said, “Okay, then I will go pack my things now.”
Jared still ignored her, indicating how much he disliked her.
Mayra returned to her place and packed up four sets of clothes and two pairs of sneakers. After finishing packing, Colten unexpectedly sent a text
message.
“Go downstairs.”
She was somewhat surprised, even thinking that she had made a mistake.
As she went downstairs carrying the suitcase, she saw Colten’s car.
It was still the extended version of the luxury car. She opened the door and saw him sitting inside, with a wheelchair next to him.

“Mr. Colten, were you also going to Esmary?”
Is the person who is traveling with us this time him?
Wasn’t Esmary a charity project? Did the Morton Group’s boss really need to follow along?
