Xia Jinâs phone rang half an hour later. She picked it up with some annoyance and saw that it was from Assistant Xu Bing.
It was someone from Huo Jueâs side.
She hung up the call.
The surroundings quieted down instantly.
Xia Jin felt good.
Then, she pulled the blanket over her head and was prepared to sleep until noon.
Unexpectedly, her phone rang again two minutes later.
Xia Jinâs sleepiness was instantly dispelled, and she felt a little irritable. Then, she picked up the phone and said somewhat unpleasantly, âDonât look for me since Iâve already resigned!â
Xu Bing seemed to be stunned for a moment, then he continued, âPresident Huo asked me to look for you. Heâs at the hospital, and he is asking for you to come over.â
Xia Jin sneered. âWhat does it have to do with me when heâs at the hospital? I donât have the time to go there.â
It would be better if he was dead!
Xu Bing seemed to be a little surprised by Xia Jinâs reaction. After a while, he explained, âMiss Xia, Iâm just a messenger. Please donât give me a hard time. Since youâve been with President Huo for so many years, you must know the consequences of disobeying him. You should behave more cautiously as youâre still an employee of the Huo Corporation.â
Xu Bing and Xia Jin did not hold any animosity against each other, and his words were said objectively. Xia Jin became silent for a while and did not respond.
She still did not want to go see Huo Jue.
Every cell in her body was resisting the idea of visiting the hospital.
Xu Bing sighed. Then, he said in a somewhat helpless tone, sensing Xia Jinâs attitude. âMiss Xia, President Huo can take back the properties under you at any time. Also, your motherâs expenses at the sanatorium have been covered by President Huo all these years. It wonât do you any good to oppose him.â
Xia Jin gritted her teeth and gripped her phone tighter.
After taking a deep breath, Xia Jin calmed herself down. âOkay, Iâll go.â
Xia Jin was about to apply make-up out of habit after changing. However, she remembered that she would soon be going separate ways with Huo Jue, so she did not need to pay that much attention to her image. Hence, she went out with a bare face and a ponytail.
When she arrived at the entrance of the hospital, Xu Bing sent her a text message telling her the location of the examination room.
Xia Jin went upstairs and walked to the entrance of the examination room. However, she was surprised to find that the sign on the door indicated gynecology when she looked up.
What was going on?
Xia Jin pushed open the door in confusion. There was no one else inside there, apart from a middle-aged female doctor, who was sitting inside.
Huo Jue was not here?
The female doctor nodded at her kindly when she saw Xia Jin coming over. âYouâre Miss Xia, right?â
âYesâ¦â Xia Jin responded hesitantly.
âMr. Huo has booked a gynecological examination for you. You can lie on the bed first.â
A gynecological examination?! Xia Jinâs face instantly darkened.
The female doctor saw that she was not moving and thought that she was nervous, so she comforted her gently. âYou donât have to be afraid since itâs just a simple check-up. You can take off your pants first. Then, Iâll take a sample later. Itâll be quick.â
Xia Jinâs breathing grew heavier, and her heart started throbbing. Anger was gradually rising within her. She got called to the hospital because Huo Jue believed that she was tainted? He wanted to check if anything had happened between Zhou Qi and her last nightâ¦
But then, the bottom of her eyes gradually became cold and numb.
The check-up process ended very quickly. Xia Jin got down from the bed calmly and tidied up her clothes. Her hands were still trembling violently.
Although she felt a certain emotion that almost made her chest explode, she did not show it.
Although the female doctor acted kindly toward Xia Jin, there was a faint hint of contempt in the way she looked at her.
When Xia Jin walked out of the examination room, her phone suddenly rang.
âIâll be home in thirty minutes. Wait for me at home.â Huo Jueâs tone was as light and indifferent as usual.
Xia Jin gritted her teeth and spoke coldly, âPresident Huo, Iâve already resigned. Iâm not your secretary anymore. If you need anything, donât look for me again. Moreover, whether Iâm healthy or not has nothing to do with you.â
She did not want to be kept by Huo Jue any longer.
After hearing her words, Huo Jue was silent for a few moments. Then, a trace of laughter seemed to leak from the phone, as if he was mocking Xia Jin.
âHave you not seen the email I just sent you? You should read it before making a decision.â Huo Jue was not the slightest worried that Xia Jin would disobey his orders at all, and hung up the call.
Xia Jin suppressed the anger in her heart. She opened her phone and logged into her email account to check the email.
A screenshot was lying in the email. It seemed to be the terms of a contract.
For termination of service within five years, the penalty for breaching the contract was 20 million dollars.
Xia Jinâs eyes widened in disbelief. Her breathing quickened, and her body began to tremble uncontrollably.
She had never signed such a contract before!
Waitâ¦
Xia Jin forced herself to calm down and began to recall her memories carefully.
She had never signed such a contract before. However, in the years that she had been with Huo Jue, he did make her sign many other written contracts. As those contracts were not related to her personally, she did not look at them in detail.
It was hard to say that Huo Jue did not tamper with those contracts and secretly set her up.
Xia Jinâs pupils suddenly contracted. Cold sweat started seeping out of her body, soaking her clothes.
Huo Jue, you bastard!
