Chapter 4
I looked up at him gently and suddenly my eyes stung
Seven years ago, he made a point to remember that I was allergic to strawberries He said even a sip would make me swell up like crazy Öncel accidentally drank the wrong milk and ended up in the hospital. He was so panicked he cried in the hallway.!!
Howevernow the man who once cried because of my allergy couldn’t even remember the one thing I could not have
I swallowed hard but I could not take this anymore 1 think we should break….”
Before I could finish a familiar voice cut me off.
“Boss!”
Hazel came bouncing over in her sugary–sweet voice and snatched the milk from his hand with a sweet smile. “This is the one I recommended to you yesterdaynight?You really bought it today?You’re so good to me.”
As she spoke, she naturally hooked her arm around Ken’s
Clearly, Ken was stumped for a moment and a flicker of awkwardness flashed across his face,but he did not push her
away.
Then, as if something had suddenly entered her mind,Hazel tapped her head and gave me a small smile as she said, “Miss White…the boss treats me so well, so when do you think I should meet his family?By the way.do you have a boyfriend? Maybe you could give me some advice?%
My heart hurt so much that I could not get a single word out.
Ken gave me a frantic look. He silently begged me not to make a scene.
At that moment,l felt very tired I took a deep breath and replied, “I don’t know.“I
Ken quickly backed me up. “Yeah General Assistant only knows how to work and doesn’t know about this kind of stuff.”
Hazel looked disappointed “Really? thought you’d been in a relationship for a long time already, General Assistant.”
I looked down with a numb heart
Even though she showed up to the site visit during working hours, which was totally against company policy,not only did Ken not rebuke her at all he also let her tag along as they started the inspection process together!
When we passed one of the company’s catering brand stores, Hazel suddenly came up beside me and whispered sweetly. “Miss White I’m a little nervous. Can we walk together?”
She smiled at me and then without saying anything,she grabbed my wrist.
Annoyed, I tried to shake her off,but even though I did not use much force, she stumbled backward dramatically and his back slammed into an older man who was drinking soup with his head down!!
Splash!
A whole bowl of hot soup spilled all over his pant leg
The man’s face darkened he shot to his feet and roared, “What the hell is wrong with you?Why did you push people?My pants are soaked! You better pay for this!”
I was petrified.
Before I could even reactHazel lowered her head and started apologizing for her fault, Sorry I’m so sorry I did not know why the general assistant suddenly pushed me.I really didn’t mean to disturb your lunch…”
She sounded so weak and pittiful, while I was like shrew that bullied her in public.
Suddenly, Ken yanked my wrist,his face twisted with anger as he snapped,“Emily what the hell are you doing?Apologize.Now!
