Chapter 92 Be Yourself
I was hugged a little tightly by him. Leaning in his arms, I couldn’t help but want to laugh. It turned out that men really like weak women.
I was taken aback by his strength. He held up my cheek with his hand and I met with his dark eyes.
He said indifferently, “Clara, this is not you. Be yourself!”
I…
I couldn’t help but curl my lips and glared at him, “How’s it that Olivia can say such stuff, but I can’t?”
It’s really weird. We’re both pretending to be pitiful, why can’t I?
He laughed, “You have me. You don’t have to pretend to be pitiful. Besides, you aren’t pitiful.”
I suddenly felt that my acting was not believable around Dennis, so I simply got up from his arms and went directly into the bathroom.
For sure, some scripts are only suitable for certain people.
After I came out of the bathroom, Dennis already laid on the bed. I wiped my hair, sat in front of the vanity mirror, and was prepared to blow my hair.
He got up and said, “Come here!”
I thought that he asked me to go over to sleep so I frowned, “My hair is not dry!”
He acknowledged it and still said, “Come here!”
I walked over, looked at him, and asked, “What’s the matter?”
He got me on the bed, took a towel and wiped my hair, and said in a gentle voice, “It’s not good to always use a hairdryer, it would harm your hair.”
I pursed my lips, “It would waste too much time to dry my hair with a towel.”
Feeling a little dizzy and uncomfortable, I made a compromise, “Dennis, I’m sleepy… Use the hairdryer!”
He didn’t say a word, held me in his arms, and said, “Let me help you. You can close your eyes and try to fall asleep now!”NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.
I was so tired that I fell asleep before he could dry my hair.
My pregnancy often made me drowsy and restless.
Dennis seemed to be in a good mood. He got into the car and looked at me and asked, “What do you want to eat later?”
I shook my head and restlessly leaned back in the chair, “Anything’s fine!”
I didn’t do anything, but I felt extremely tired.
He helped me fasten my seat belt after he saw my tired state and said, “Let’s go home and eat. After eating, go and have a good rest.”
I nodded, closed my eyes, and continued to lean back for a while.
In the next few days, I still didn’t have much energy. My belly as four-month pregnant women wasn’t very large, so I was still able to go to the company.
The George Group’s audit had come to an end, so I was also a little more relaxed.
Due to the AC incident, Jackie took the initiative to look for me to resign. I didn’t approve it but told her to go home and rest for a while.
Over the weekend, I made an appointment with Marcus. I wanted to learn from him about the factory in the southern district.
Considering that he was Dennis’s good friend, if I were to report about it directly to the company, it would not be appropriate in terms of the ways of the world.
Therefore, I was going to speak to him privately.
In the coffee shop.
Music was playing softly in the background. After ordering a glass of juice, Marcus looked at me sternly and was a little impatient, “What are you looking for me for?”
“Do you hate me because of Olivia, or was it due to something else?” I asked intending to create some small talk.
He was taken aback, then smiled after a pause, “Are you looking for me to talk about this?”
I shook my head, “No!”
“Just casually asking.” My mind wasn’t in the best state and said, “We have to be forward-looking. Dennis and I are married, and it is a foregone conclusion. You like Olivia. Why not express your affection and be together with her?”
“Have you said enough?” He frowned and was very unhappy, “Clara, in what position are you putting yourself in? Do you think that you are an invincible heroine? That others would be able to go all the way to the finale just due to a few words from you?”
I lowered my eyes and stopped talking.
I am not a good persuader, so I simply stopped the topic, looked at him, and said, “Fine! Then let’s talk about the factory in the Southern District that you stopped without permission!”
He was stunned, his gaze fell on me, and he said for a long time, “It’s unexpectedly that you managed to find out.”
“I want to know the reason!”
This was a work matter, so I don’t need to show too many formalities and pretense.
“Why did you come to ask me instead of immediately telling Dennis about it?”
I lowered my eyes, “HY Technology Co., Ltd. was previously managed by you, the factory production in the Southern District had stopped for half a year. Although I don’t know where you used the funds to fill this portion of vacancy in the past six months, you shouldn’t have any bad intentions with it. It’s probably just because you couldn’t handle it. In addition, you and Dennis are good friends, and I don’t want you all to have unnecessary disputes in any way.”
“Huh!” He sneered, “Clara, you are so simple-minded.”
He played with the two walnuts in his hand, raised his eyebrows, and said cynically, “You can tell Dennis directly about HY Technology Co., Ltd. He knows this well.”
“But!” After a pause, he smiled, “Although I hate some parts of you, I still admire you a lot at work. You are a very good working partner, but you are someone I dislike.”
I always knew that he was mean, but I didn’t care.
Since matters had already reached this point, there was nothing to talk about anymore, so I just excused myself.
After leaving the coffee shop, Diana called, and something was off about her.
She asked me to go to the hospital.
When the car arrived at the hospital, I stopped in the parking lot and saw her sitting alone under the hospital building in a daze, her expression looked a little helpless.
She still had the medical record in her hand. When I saw how bad the scene was, I walked up to her and took the medical record directly from her hand.
When I saw that it was a blood drawing record and an ultrasound record, I looked at the time shown above, and I was a little confused, “Eight weeks? Whose child?”
Although I know that she occasionally does have one-night stands…
But she had always protected herself very well, how could this?
She lowered her head, placed her hands on her head, tugged at her hair, and said, “When you previously went to City A on a business trip.”
I thought about it for a while, then looked at her and asked, “You were drunk on which night?” I didn’t have time to pick her up one night, so I asked Mario to pick her up.
However, Mario had always kept his chastity and would have sex with girls easily.
“Was it Mario?”
She kept silent and had no plans to say anything.
After a long time, she looked up at me and said, “I plan to sell YT Apartment and live in Hensley Town.”
I nodded, “Well, I still have some deposits here. Regardless of your decision, I will respect it.”
It seemed like she wanted to keep the child. I knew her too well. We are all lonely souls, so we cherish the angels that God had given to us.
Her expression improved slightly when she heard me, she pulled me to sit next to her, leaned on my shoulders, and said, “Clara, we won’t be alone in the future.”
Yes, we would have our own angels in the future hence we won’t be alone.
After sitting with her for a while, I drove her back and then went directly to the company.
I had nothing to do but Mario would be in the office most of the time on weekends. I stood outside and knocked for a long time. He was a little tired when he came to open the door.
He was slightly taken aback when he saw me and said, “What’s the matter?”
“I came to find you!” I put the fast food I brought on the road on his table, and said, “I know you haven’t eaten so I brought some along the way for you.”
