Let me go, Mr. Hill [by Shallow South] Chapter 1076 âAhem, you indeed didnât put on makeup. Forget it. I still have a lot of things to deal with. You can get back to work, but donât make my baby exhausted.â
Rodney held a fist to his face and coughed. He retracted his awkward gaze and walked out.
Freya looked at him from behind. She concluded that he just came over to quarrel with her.
Back in the office.
Rodney was going through that monthâs income statement. On the opposite side of the table, a female secretary was reporting the overall income situation of each major city.
The female secretary was 3o years old. She wore a twoâpiece suit.
Rodney raised his head and beckoned at her with his finger. âCome here, closer.â
The female secretary walked forward without putting her guard up. After all, everyone knew that except for Sarah, other women were nothing in his eyes. They did not have to worry about him taking advantage of the secretaries.
âYour eyes⦠Youâve applied makeup on them, right?â Suddenly, Rodney scrunched his face.
The female secretary felt awkward. âThe company has requirements for us to put on some makeup. â
âSo there are differences between people. Some people are born with features that make them look like they have on contact lenses and eyeliner, â Rodney could not help but mutter.
âAre you talking about Director Lynch?â
The female secretary smiled and said, âDirector Lynchâs pretty face looks like sheâs mixed-race. Sheâs good-looking even without makeup. Her parents are clearly Australians, though.â
âSheâs quite popular, huh?â Rodney raised his eyebrows.
âYes, many male employees in the company treat her as their goddess. Many of them want to pursue her too, â the female secretary said as she smiled.
Rodley tugged on his tie. His eyebrows were raised with a dangerous look in them. âOur company doesnât allow office romance, right?â
The female secretary was confused. âIs there a rule like that?â
âThere is. Have I forgotten to say it before? Dating within the company affects work efficiency. Iâll fire anyone who dates, â Rodney said coldly.
Hah, was Freya thinking of dating other guys while carrying his child? In her dreams.
6:00 p.m.
Freya was finally done extracting the ingredient components of lavender. Suddenly, she heard Rodneyâs voice in her ears.
âYou havenât gotten off work yet?â
Freyaâs hand trembled. She looked at Rodney as if she had seen a ghost. âI should be the one asking you that. Shouldnât you be looking for Sarah now?â
âWhat do you mean?â Rodney was like a porcupine. His eyebrows became straight.
âWell, usually youâd be gone even before 5:00 p.m. As the president, youâre always the last to arrive and the first to leave. Everyone in the company knows that you have to accompany Sarah the moment you get off work.â Freya took off her goggles and spoke honestly.
Rodneyâs expression darkened from listening to her words.
However, he could not refute her at all. After all, that was the truth.
âDo many people⦠talk about it in the company?â he could not help asking.
âNot really. Who dares to talk about it? Youâre the boss.â Freya asked curiously, âArenât you accompanying her today? From what I know, she probably needs you a lot now.â
Rodney felt stabbed again. He could not help but be depressed. âDo I look like Iâm really needed by someone? I canât even find a good lawyer. I only have a billion dollars in my handsâ¦â
Sarah wanted to borrow money from him, but he could not give her the amount needed.
She then told him to leave. He felt like she was looking down on his poor financial situation.
