Chapter 23 Aggressive Behavior and Gaze
After work, Ann looked at the time. It was already past nine o'clock in the evening.
She washed her hands with hand soap, and then she took a smell. She then found herself dizzy and her nose stuffy. Changing her clothes and walking to the corridor of the company, she still felt a little dizzy when she passed through the hall. Suddenly, someone touched her forehead with his big and cold hand.
Before Ann figured out what was happening, she was hugged by someone. Then there came a man's voice, which was low and cold. "You've got a fever!"
Ann was stunned. When she saw Phillip's cold expression, she subconsciously struggled free and kept herself apart from him.
She lowered her head and said politely, "Mr. Phillip."
"You're sick. I'll take you to the hospital."
"No need. I'll just go home and take some medicine. Thank you for your concern, Mr. Phillip."
She didn't want to have any misunderstandings with Karl because of Phillip.
Phillip narrowed his eyes and his expression darkened when he noticed that Ann was intentionally keeping herself apart from him.
Ann respectfully nodded at Phillip and turned to walk towards the gate.
Seeing that Phillip didn't follow her, she heaved a sigh of relief.
Just as she was about to get on the bus, she was suddenly grabbed by a big hand and was stuffed into the car.
Seeing Phillip in the driver's seat, she hurriedly reached out to open the car door, only to find that the door was locked.
Ann was a little angry. She could take what Phillip had done before as innocent moves.
But this time, Phillip's sudden concern made her very uneasy.
"Phillip!"
"Shut up! I'll take you home!"
"Why?" Ann was vigilant.
"Why do you have so many questions?"
When she heard this, she fell silent, but she held her phone tightly. She thought if Phillip dared to do anything to her, she would call the police.
The car stopped at the apartment where Ann lived. Phillip got out of the car and opened the door for Ann.
Seeing that she was on guard against him and stepped back a little, he couldn't help but sneer.
He leaned over and smelled Ann as he opened the door. He stared at her with his deep and black eyes. His tone sounded ironic.
"Are you afraid that I will do something to you?"
"Yes. Mr. Phillip, you are a dangerous man." Ann knitted and slightly bent her leg.
If Phillip dared to do anything, she thought she would kick him.
Phillip naturally noticed her movements. He straightened himself up and stood beside the car. He looked as cold as usual.
"Why don't you get out of the car? Do you want me to carry you out?"
Ann's eyes popped when she heard this. She jumped out of the car and went upstairs without looking back.
Phillip stood where he was and smiled.
Not far away, Jenny just had a French kiss with the man who had driven her back. As she was about to go upstairs, she saw handsome and outstanding Phillip. She looked so sinister. She thought, 'This bitch has indeed hooked up with a wealthy man!'
Ann locked the door when she entered the house. Seeing that Phillip did not follow her up, she heaved a sigh of relief.
She was so doubtful. Why did Phillip care about his employees so much? Did he really treat her as an employee?
However, his gaze and behavior were so aggressive.
Clearing her mind, she took some medicine and went to bed.
When she woke up the next day, she felt that the fever had gotten worse. She could only call the company to ask for sick leave.
It was already dusk when she woke up again, and her phone rang at the bedside.
It was Karl, who sounded a little anxious.
"Ann, I may work very late in the office today. Mom is going to the senior party tomorrow. So can you pick up Nikki after work? You don't need to wait for me for dinner."
Ann planned to say that she wanted Karl to go to the hospital with her, but she bit her words. She only replied in a hoarse voice, "Alright. Remember to eat something and take care of yourself." Karl did not notice the difference in Ann's voice and hung up.
Ann managed to sit up, got changed, and then went out.
However, her phone was left at the bedside, so she didn't see there were more than ten missed calls.☐☐☐☐☐☐
