Chapter 171: Chapter 171

“Tassach, you have to know that the picture has brought a great impact on my family and it largely does harm to my life. As you wish, I had a terrible quarrel with Zachariah and then I fainted because of heavy mood swing. I stayed in the hospital for a whole day. But I don’t want to divorce him! So, I am sorry to tell you that I need to resign my job now.”

Tassach hurried to stop, “Ophelia, please don’t. I can promise that there will be no more ambiguous picture in the future! I won’t do anything ambiguous to you anymore. Please, stay in the company. I am willing to be a back-up for you only. I ask for nothing but a mere image in your mind when you are upset.”

Ophelia replied, looking resignedly, “Tassach, don’t do that. I don’t deserve your care. You are such an excellent gentleman and I am sure there are a lot of better girls expecting you.”

Tassach looked at her while speaking, “Ophelia, you should know my feelings for you, right?”

Ophelia took a few steps back, “Tassach, you said that you would not push me, right? Please don’t go back on your words.”

“I don’t mean to push you. I just want you to stay. And I have promised that I would never bother you when you are still married. All I want is nothing but to stay closer to you to protect you. You can’t even accept such a simple wish of mine?”

Ophelia looked at him apologetically, “Sorry, my family always ranks first when compared with work. I can’t continue to work.”

“I won’t agree!”

“Tassach, I am so sorry. But I have to quit my job. I am really honored to work with you during this period of time. I hope we could still have a chance to work together. But unfortunately, I don’t deem it possible recently. And I don’t think a letter of resignation is necessary at this moment. Sorry.”

Ophelia bowed to him and then turned around to leave.

Tassach stopped her by grabbing her hand, begging, “Ophelia, please don’t.”

Ophelia looked at him with apologetic face, “Tassach, I am so sorry to fail your request. But I am sure you will still have chance to work together.”

“My future has always been unpredictable! Now the only fact is that if you quit your job, I will have no chance to stay close to you. Please, don’t leave me! If you agree to stay, I can fire Gracie.”

Ophelia continued, “Tassach, why don’t you understand that there will still be more jealous troublemakers just like Gracie even if you fire her! I don’t want my marriage to be damaged because of set-up. So I can’t work here!”

Tassach stared at her, looking sad, “Ophelia, you left me without telling me years ago. And now you choose to leave me again because of another man. Have you ever thought about me for a second?”

“Tassach, we are just friends.” Ophelia then added, “I need to go now. Please get back to your work.”

But Tassach still grabbed her hand hard, looking sorrowful, “Ophelia, please don’t do that to me.”

“Tassach, I am sorry.” Ophelia then got rid of his grip and opened the door. Then she strode out without looking back.

Tassach stood in the office, looking blank. He didn’t even notice when the secretary came in.

The secretary looked at him worriedly and asked, “Mr. Conduibh, are you okay?”

Tassach looked at her and pointed at the door, “You may leave now.”

The secretary continued, “But, Mr. Conduibh, Mr. Davidson, the president of Davis Group is here...Shall we...”

Tassach took a deep breath, “Just tell him that I feel sick right now. Just make the manager of the technical department deal with the project.”

“Yes, sir.” The secretary then hurried out of the office, afraid that Tassach’s anger might burn her.

As Tassach was still trapped in frustration, the voice of Gracie sounded outside the door, “Mr. Conduibh, may I come in? I have something about work to report to you.”

A trace of anger seemed flash across his eyes. Then Tassach clenched his fists, “Come in.”

Gracie pushed the door open and stepped inside, looking confident with a red office suit, which even highlighted her nice figure.

“Mr. Conduibh.”

But Tassach just stared at her coldly. He stood up and passed by the desk. Then he walked over and suddenly slapped her hard.

Her face was rendered swollen instantly. She was stunned while covering her own face, looking incredible, “Tassach Conduibh, are you crazy? Why do you slap me?”

“Ophelia resigned her job! Are you happy with that?” Tassach huffed angrily.

“Resigned? She really did?” Gracie gritted as well, “But it has nothing to do with me! Why do you vent out your anger in front of me? Tassach Conduibh, do you still deem yourself a gentleman?”

“You want to fire me?” Gracie asked, looking incredible.
