Odell frowned.

Horrified, Shermaine immediately apologized, “I'm sorry, sir! | didn't... I'm so sorry.” She bent over, intending to wipe his pants.

Odell bolted up immediately, causing her to bump into his crotch. The office went quiet.

“What are you two doing?”

A cold voice broke the silent atmosphere in the office.

Odell pushed Shermaine away and turned to the door.

Shermaine staggered backward and then nervously looked at the door.

Sylvia was at the door with the food container in her hand. Her hair was pulled back neatly, revealing her delicate and elegant

facial features, but there was a brazen frostiness on her face.

Odell frowned.

Odell bolted up immediately causing her to bump into his crotch. The office went quiet.

“What are you two doing?”

Acold voice broke the silent atmosphere in the office.

Odell pushed Shermaine away and turned to the door.

Shermaine staggered backward and then nervously looked at the door.

Sylvia was at the door with the food container in her hand. Her hair was pulled back neatly, revealing her delicate and elegant

facial features, but there was a brazen frostiness on her face.

Her body froze. She had come to visit and bring him dinner, but she found him alone with his secretary in the office.

Odell noticed the frostiness, and his eyes narrowed. Just when he was about to speak, Shermaine beat him to it.

“Mrs. Carter! It’s not what you think! | was handing Master Carter the water and accidentally spilled it on him. | tried to help wipe

it, but Master Carter stood up, and | bumped into him. It’s not what you think!” Her explanation was accurate, which relieved the

nervousness on Odell’s face.

He thought Sylvia would accept the explanation, but it

only fueled her frostiness.

Sylvia scoffed. “You can’t even hold a flask of water properly? You just have to spill it on him and coincidentally bump into him?”

Shermaine wore innocence on her face. “I... | really didn’t mean it.”

Sylvia glared at her. “Do you think I'll believe you?”

As the secretary for a multinational company CEO, she could not even hold a thermal flask properly?

No one would believe it, especially considering the fact that she ‘coincidentally’ bumped into him.

Shermaine pursed her lips. She tried to explain the situation but failed to find the appropriate words. All she could do was stand

there helplessly with an innocent expression.

LUITIL

The look on her face reminded Sylvia of Tara.

Disgusted , Sylvia turned to Odell. “She can't even hold a flask properly and affected your work. | believe that is sufficient for you

to fire her.”

(ULL ULL,

Shermaine's expression shifted. She turned to Odell, her face thick with grief.

Odell frowned. He looked at Sylvia and said gruffly, “She didn't do it on purpose.”

Sylvia widened her eyes in disbelief. Shermaine bumped into him, yet he tried to defend her?

Was it because Shermaine was great as a secretary, or was it because he had spent too much time with her to the

point that he had developed feelings for her?

The coldness of anger spread across her body. Sylvia clenched her fists and asked, “Odell, are you really going to do this?

Odell answered, “I'm speaking the truth. She didn’t do it on purpose, whether it's the flask or bumping into me.” He appeared

stern, especially with his gruff voice. It seemed like he was impatient because of Sylvia's distrust of him.

Sylvia further widened her eyes. It had been three years since they lived a good life together, and he had never once talked to

her like that.

Now, everything changed because he wanted to defend his little secretary!

Her body shook, and her expression turned icy cold. She gulped nervously and said, “Odell, | saw everything. Do you think I'm

blind?”

Odell frowned.

Shermaine immediately said, “It's my fault, Mrs. Carter.

Please don’t blame Master Carter for it. It was | who accidentally spilled water on his pants. I'll resign. immediately and leave as

long as you don’t blame Master

Carter for it.”

“Shut up!” Sylvia shouted. “I’ve come across people like you before. If you really don’t want me to misunderstand, you would

have gotten the hell out!”

Shermaine’s expression shifted and her eyes turned watery. “I’m sorry. I’m so sorry. I'll leave immediately .

Please don’t be mad.”

Shermaine made the motion of wanting to leave the office.

“Stand right there!” the man shouted.

Shermaine froze all of a sudden.

Odell turned to Sylvia with furrowed brows. He was

clearly holding back his frustration and anger. With a deep voice, he said, “Sylvia, can you stop being

unreasonable?”

Unreasonable?

Hvis summer. ”
