Back at the office, lody stood up to greet . But when she saw Grace behind , her expression imdiately darkened.
I ignored her and walked past her with Grace, chatting and laughing.
"William, co here!"
lody’s expression was gloomy.
I stopped, said goodbye to Grace, and walked up to lody. "What’s the matter?"
My tone was very indifferent.
"Why are you with Grace?"
"Oh, she’s the project assistant, and we went to Wallace Company together."
lody frowned. "Why didn’t you reply to my ssages?"
As she said this, she lowered her voice.
"I’ve been busy, so I didn’t check my phone."
Of course, that was just an excuse. Even if I was busy, I could still find ti to reply to ssages.
She took a deep breath, anger flashing in her eyes. "Is that your explanation?"
"What do you want to explain to you?"
I looked straight at her.
lody seed flustered. "You will stay and work tonight."
"Sorry, Ms. Wilson, I have sothing to do tonight, so I’m afraid I can’t stay."
I said lightly, "Let’s talk about it tomorrow."
Then, I turned and walked away.
I knew lody must be furious at this point, but so what?
She could be angry. But I had every right to be mad too.
Back at my desk, I was surprised to see that the partition I had punched through had been replaced.
Just then, Paul walked over, and I asked, "Who replaced this for ?"
Paul pressed his lips. "Ms. Wilson had it replaced."
I looked at lody’s back with a complex expression.
"After you left, Ms. Wilson went to the director’s office."
He whispered, "And I heard they seed to have an argunt."
What?
lody argued with Jessica?
How was that possible?!
"Is it true?"
"Of course it’s true. According to colleagues near the office, Ms. Wilson has been speaking up for you."
So, I got lody wrong?
She actually argued with her best friend, for my sake?
I suddenly felt like a jerk.
"You really made a big move today. Now they’re all making fun of Nicole."
Paul gave a thumbs-up. "Who would still bother with Nicole now? She’s just unreasonable."
I shrugged. "Well, she deserves it."
"But be careful. She seems to have her eye on you now, and she’s threatening to ruin you if you make a mistake!"
"I’m not afraid of her!"
After chatting with Paul for a while, until it was ti to leave, I walked up to lody and said softly. "Ms. Wilson, I’d like to work an extra hour tonight!"
lody ignored , and I was actually a bit nervous, afraid she might leave.
But thankfully, she didn’t.
After a while, most people had left, including Jessica. Only two of us were left in the marketing departnt. I mustered up the courage and walked over, grabbing her delicate hand. "Ms. Wilson."
"Let go of . This is the office. What if others saw this?"
I held her hand tightly, not giving her a chance to shake off. She struggled a bit and then placed her hand under the desk. "You’re just a rascal!"
"Otherwise, I will lose you." I exaggerated.
"I never belonged to you!"
lody gave a glare and then snorted. "You ignored before, and was indifferent to . Why are you coming to now?"
I quickly smiled, "No. We agreed before not to let others see our relationship in the office, so I have to act a bit indifferent."
Her expression softened slightly. Apparently, she agreed with my explanation. "Alright. Explain to . What’s the deal with you and Grace! I an in the elevator?"
"That was just a misunderstanding. The elevator was crowded, you know. You’re overthinking it, even making afraid to take the elevator again. Even if it wasn’t Grace, there would be others. I won’t be able to explain even if I’m innocent!" I said with a bitter face.
Being persistent was the right way.
"If you care it so much, I won’t take the elevator when there are female colleagues in it. Or, I’ll take the stairs to work every day. Okay?"
I sighed, "As long as you’re happy, I’m willing to do so!"
lody’s face softened. She bit her lip. "So, I was wrong?"
"No." I shook my head, looking at her affectionately. "It just shows that you care about . I’m actually very happy because I hold a significant place in your heart."
lody looked a bit flustered. "Then tell , why didn’t you reply to my ssages? Don’t use that silly, incredible excuse to deceive ."
I knew she would ask that question.
I spoke, "Do you know why Mrs. Lawrence called in?"
She nodded.
I sighed. "Did you argue with her?"
She pursed her lips. "No."
"Thank you."
I said, "I was impulsive today, not replying to your ssages because I didn’t know how to respond, and I was feeling a bit down, so..."
"Are you really going to sue Philip?"
She believed what I said and didn’t press further on that issue.
"I have handed over the lawsuit to the lawyer, and these days Philip will receive a court summons."
I didn’t hide anything. "There’s no turning back on this matter. He repeatedly pushed the limits, not taking it seriously. They think I’m joking."
lody frowned. "Have you thought about the consequences of doing this?"
I remained silent for a while and nodded. "I know it will involve you and even Mrs. Lawrence."
"But I don’t think I’m wrong."
I said, "If you feel uncomfortable, I can resign."
"You’re just a jerk."
lody angrily pulled her hand away from mine. "Then you can just resign. Let’s not see each other again. I don’t like impulsive n who don’t think things through."
Her face turned cold, and I felt incredibly frustrated.
"Should I simply endure mockery and slander? Do I lack dignity?"
I grumbled. "In your eyes, my dignity and my grievances are not worth ntioning."
"You go withdraw the lawsuit. I have already talked to Mrs. Lawrence. She will find a way to deal with Philip and give you an explanation."
lody may have felt her tone was too harsh and softened it.
