Chapter 395
"Sister Chelsea? Sister Chelsea, what's wrong with you?"
The voice by my ear pulled me back from the emptiness. "What's wrong?"
Xiao Lin, the new colleague, breathed a sigh of relief and said worriedly, "Sister Chelsea, I called you just now, but you didn't respond for a long time. I almost dialed 120."
I rubbed my temples and said weakly, "I didn't have a good rest last night. I'm not in good spirits."
"What can I do for you?" Before she could speak, I changed the subject.
Xiao Lin handed me the file holder and said, "Manager Ling asked me to give this to you. He said that this was the work you used to be responsible for."
"I see. Thank you."
I didn't open the file clip until Xiaolin left me.
The contents of the document were all the work that Abbie had arranged for me when I was still around.
In fact, I wasn't in charge of these tasks. It was just that Abbie had added an extra one for me. As for why she added it, there was no need to think too much about it. It was only caused by Harrison. As soon as I thought of Harrison, I thought of those images in my mind when I was in a daze.
Yesterday, not only did a series of unpleasant things happen, but even Harrison and I failed to escape. Until now, I still don't understand the end of last night. Is it friendly or broken? Because my memory only stopped at the sentence he said, "Chelsea, how long are you going to make trouble?"
As for the latter part, I didn't know whether I remembered it or not. Anyway, it was already early in the morning when I woke up.
When I opened my eyes and realized that I was lying in Harrison's arms, I was embarrassed, but it didn't take long for Harrison to wake up. Then we got up like usual, washed, ate, and drove to work. But the problem was that we didn't say a word from beginning to end, relying on the tacit understanding between the two.
However, this tacit understanding makes me unable to figure out what Harrison and I are now.
My mood was very agitated. When I lowered my head and saw that Abbie had given me a mission for no reason, I felt even worse. I took the file holder and headed straight for Abbie's office.
After I knocked on the door and got permission, I opened the office door. As soon as I stepped in, I saw Harrison with his back to me, standing face to face with Abbie.
"Manager Ling has something to do. I'll come back later." My heart was in a mess.
"Hey hey hey hey, you don't have to come back later. If you have something to say now, hurry up and finish it." Abbie stopped me from leaving, her tone carrying a hint of a smile.
Because I lowered my head, I couldn't see their expressions.
I refused and said, "I'd better wait for Manager Ling to come back when he's free."
After that, I stepped back and grabbed the door handle. I only wanted to leave here, but the moment I closed the door, it was blocked. I looked up and saw Harrison looking at me with a poker face. He blocked the door with one hand and didn't let me close it.
"What can I do for you, Mr. Stewart?" I forced a smile and asked.
Harrison first opened the door, making it impossible for me to avoid his sight. "Since I have something to do here, why do I have to leave?"
"In comparison, my business is naturally not as important as that of Mr. Stewart and Manager Ling," I replied with a smile.
What I said was right. In this case, of course, their affairs were more important, and I was just a small employee.
Although it was very uncomfortable to say it out loud, I still didn't hide anything, because I didn't want to make my heart feel worse. This was the only thing I could do for myself.
At this moment, Abbie stepped forward and placed her hand on Harrison's shoulder. She looked just like the Tower Lord Harrison. My heart was uncomfortable and I wanted to lose my temper, but I managed to hold it back.
"We haven't seen each other during this period of time. You're more eloquent than before," Abbie said to me with a smile.
I tried not to make myself look unhappy. I smiled hypocritically and said, "Manager Ling, do you have anything to tell me? If you don't, I'll go back first. After all, there are other tasks that haven't been completed."
"Although I also wanted to say that I would let you leave for no reason, you were the one who came here first." As Abbie spoke, she looked at Harrison intentionally or unintentionally.
I think she's waiting for Harrison to say something.
As for what he was waiting for, he just hoped that Harrison would take the initiative to let me leave so that I could completely disappear in front of them. Unfortunately, Harrison did not understand the meaning of her eyes. He still stood where he was calmly.
It was hard to tell if she truly did not understand Abbie's intentions, or if she did not care about this matter at all. Men had always been dismissive of the contest between women.
Thinking that Harrison might have such an idea now, my anger slowly rose. Finally, I couldn't stand his indifferent look and said angrily, "Mr. Stewart, can you stand where you are and watch us two women fight over each other?"
A look of surprise flashed across Harrison's face. He was so fast that I could not help but wonder if I was seeing things.
"What competition? I don't quite understand what you mean," Harrison said in a deep voice.
Every time Harrison lowered his voice, I understood that he was angry. It was normal to think about it. I just said such a big sentence. It was abnormal not to be angry.
Normally, I would have swallowed those words and never said a word, because I was worried that Harrison would be angry because I was too greedy. Even now, I was afraid.
But I have no choice. Everyone has a temper, and so do I.
I pursed my lips and smiled. Looking at Abbie, who was standing beside him, I explained awkwardly, "Don't worry, Mr. Stewart. I'm working now, and you and Manager Ling are standing in front of me. How dare I talk nonsense?"
"If I lose my job because of these words, I will be worried about starving to death on the street."
As I spoke, I tried my best to keep a smile on my face.
Harrison just looked at me quietly without saying a word. Compared to his silence, Abbie couldn't help but ask, "Chelsea, don't be so sarcastic. When did Brother Harrison and I make you lose your job and starve to death on the streets?"
Abbie's words were filled with mockery, and her eyes were filled with disdain as she looked at me, as if she didn't want to say another word to me.
I looked at her proud look, and then I looked at Harrison, who allowed her to talk to me and maintained a silent attitude. Just now, the anger that I had just managed to suppress surged up. "This document doesn't belong to me. Manager Ling, please don't give these to me in the future," I said to Abbie with a sneer.
Abbie's expression changed again and again. She first gritted her teeth and then looked at Harrison with a wronged expression. She choked and said, "I'm just giving Chelsea a job. She's like this. Brother Harrison, can't I provoke her in the future?"
