Madeleine rose to her feet and said, "Iâm nobody, and I donât dare to be mad at you. Youâre my boss. If I offended you, I would have nothing to live on." Suddenly, Madeleine changed the topic as she spoke. "Mr. Harrison, since you donât have the plan to release me, Iâm going back now. I was writing all night long and I need to sleep."
Mr. Harrison asked as Madeleine was about to leave, "Did you offend the Fletchers?"
Madeleine paused. Now she realized what was going on as she recalled the past.
She got straight to the point. "So, Mrs. Fletcher puts pressure on you?"
"Exactly. She promises to offer me so much if I fire you. Seems that you pissed her off."
Madeleine gritted her teeth in anger. She knew Gwylan wouldnât let her off so easily, but that old woman underestimated her at the same time. Even if she was fired by this company, many other publishing companies would be vying with each other for her. Her books sold, and she had readers from all corners of the country. If she filled her fans in on the truth, even a little, they would light a bonfire in the lobby of the Fletcher Groupâs office building. It wouldnât destroy them, but could at least serve as a warning.
Working for a company was simply a fallback position for Madeleine. Even though no company wanted her, she could still publish her works online.
Sometimes, it was easier for online novels to go viral. Presumably, Gwylan had really looked down upon her.
"I had a little fight with her in the hospital the other day. I thought it was over, but who knows somebody still keeps it in mind." Madeleine shrugged and exclaimed with a casual air.
Amazement gleamed in the eyes of the man sitting in the chair. He asked in disbelief, "A fight?"
Her cheeks burning, Madeleine explained in embarrassment, "That old woman is a bitch. She was asking for it."
Mr. Harrison recovered himself immediately and smiled, "Madeleine, Iâm impressed. I thought all you had was a sharp tongue, but I didnât expect you to be so violent. Now Iâve learned more about you. Great."
Great? What was so great?
Madeleine failed to grasp what he meant for a moment.
"Mr. Harrison, Iâm sorry for what happened to Mrs. Fletcher, and Iâm sorry for getting you involved. If you donât want to offend the Fletcher family, we can cancel the contract right now. I donât make so much money as you do, but at least I can support myself until I sign my next contract. Besides, if you release me now, Iâll be awarded damages."
"Have I ever said I would release you? I think nothing of the Fletcher family."
Madeleine stared at Mr. Harrison in astonishment, as if she was saying, "Youâre full of bullshit, Mr. Harrison."
Mr. Harrison didnât give an explanation, but changed the subject. "From now on, when thereâs only two of us, donât call me Mr. Harrison."
"Then what shall I call you?"
"Call my name."
Madeleine was thrown into confusion again. "Mr. Harrison, excuse me, I donât know your name."
"Carson Harrison."
Which meant uprightness.
Madeleine paused and complimented awkwardly, "What a great name, Mr. Harrison! It seems that your parents wanted you to be an upright man when you grow up. Very good. I can tell youâre an upright and kind man at a glance, Mr. Harrison. Your future wife must be very happy."
Carsonâs eyes were fixed on her.
Madeleine blushed like a schoolgirl again being stared at by him like this, her heart pounding.
She said in a flurry, "Mr. Harrison, if thereâs nothing else, Iâm leaving now." Madeleine stepped back hurriedly as she spoke, but in her panic, she knocked into the chair and stumbled forward, almost falling.
Carson got up at once and blurted, "Be careful!" Hardly had he finished his words than he rushed up to Madeleine and steadied her.
Staring at Carson at her fingertips, Madeleine blushed even more profusely. She panicked, reached out and gave him a big shove, knocking him against the chair.
His hand covering his waist, Carson called through clenched teeth, "Madeleine Lowe."
Madeleine opened her mouth wide in amazement and asked immediately, "Mr... Mr. Harrison, are you alright?"
She fought like a tiger against Gwylan, but with Carson, all she could do was panic. What a coward she was.
At this moment, Carson grabbed Madeleineâs hands and kissed her on the lips by surprise. Madeleine was stunned, her eyes widened. It was after over ten seconds that she pushed him away without thinking. Oddly, her first reaction was not giving him a slap. Instead, she rushed towards the Billionaire Lost to His Surrogate In A Love Game ï¤Chapter 253 Call my Name Say You Will Be Mine ï¤Chapter 38 Pay You Back for the Rest of My Life (The End)

Watching Madeleine running away, Carson couldnât help but touch his lips, a faint smile spreading across his face.
"Madeleine, youâll be mine one day. Youâll never get away. Iâve given you lots of chances for the past year, and I thought you would feel my heart, but unexpectedly, you were like a log. Youâve created plenty of romances, but you are quite slow regarding your own love life. If I didnât take actions, Iâm afraid I wouldnât get you the rest of my life."
