Chapter 5
I looked up at him in disappointment and refuted him, I didn’t push her!”
He disregarded my words and wrinkled his forehead. “Everyone’s watching,don’t ruin the company’s image.”
The older man squinted at us his gaze shifting back and forth between me and Hazel in an instant,he figured out who the easier target was.X
He suddenly grabbed my arm his fingers dug painfully into my skin like he was afraid I would flee. He leaned extremely close toward me.His eyes were leering shamelessly at my chest.
“Come on,sweetheart.apologize.You spilled soup all over me and now you wanna act all high and mighty?
Ken,who was standing on the side was oblivious to the man’s harassment of me because his attention was locked solely on Hazel & Hazel lowered her head and bit her lips with a sad look on her face Boss, it was my fault Please don’t blame Miss White.”
Ken immediately felt heartbroken He patted her shoulder.it’s not your fault. This is because the general assistant is so clumsy.”
My throat tightened. Just as I opened my mouth to say something, I heard Hazel softly say to the man, “I’m really sorry. pay for your pants okay?! should’ve been steadier,so you failed to eat.”
Ken’s expression darkened as he turned to me.“See? Look how responsible Hazel is,but you?You don’t even have a shred of decency” The next second he picked up the leftover bowl of soup from the table and coldly dumped it right over my head
The scalding soup with its oily smell immediately drenched me from the top of my head stuck to my hair,soaked through my collar and trickled down slowly at the back of my neck.
At that moment! felt completely numb.
Ken slammed the bowl back on the table and coldly said, Emilyyou’re heartless and selfish You won’t even say sorry”
The uncle smiled.His face was full of wrinkles
“No wonder you’re the boss and she’s the boss lady you two have good manners. You’re not like these stubborn workers with no manners!“After he said thathe spat at me.
Ken didn’t even look back. He grabbed Hazel’s hand and walked away
I was left there standing alone, as the soup slowly dripped from my forehead then it hit the floor with a tiny ticking sound.
I went home,changed my clothes and washed myself for three hours but I still couldn’t wash off that disgusting stench!
I wrote my resignation letter word for word and took it with me to the office the next day.
As the elevator doors opened, the receptionist glanced up at me,her face was full of gossip.
“General Assistant,do you know what? The boss is so handsome while holding the boss lady’s hand.”
I looked up.She grinned and handed me her phone,showing a photo of Ken and Hazel walking side by side.
In the dim light he was holding her while my dejected back followed not far behind,covered in soup like an outsider. “We didn’t even know you were behind them,General Assistant”
She stiffened,suddenly realizing what she had said and quickly tucked her phone away
“I’m sorry!We just thought they looked like the main couple in a novel or something. We got a little carried away.”
I didn’t say a word.I walked straight to the HR department and handed in my resignation letter
The HR lady took a look at it and with a little surprise on her face.“Are you resigning?”
I nodded. “Yes.
She hesitated,then said, “Yesterday, the boss proposed to Hazel and he even announced that the company’s no–dating policy is officially canceled General Assistant are you upset?”
My hand trembled and I almost dropped the resignation letter to the floor!!
So, the rule that I had been waiting for seven years for, which was the time isn’t right yet, that I had heard over and over again,could be cancelled with just a few words for Hazel.
