Chapter 6 Chapter 6: Damn it, I really wanted to curse! He was implying that I was even cheaper than a poor duck by 50 yuan. I was only worth 100 dollars. I was angry, but I didn't want to lose my job. So, even though I was upset, I kept my emotions in check. I told myself to calm down. I picked up the 250 dollars and said, "Nothing else. I'll go back to work now." I quickly ran out of the CEO's office. As soon as I returned to the office, Joey came over. "Why did he call you in?" she asked. I thought for a moment and replied, "He told me he doesn't have any other part-time jobs." "And then?" Joey pressed. Joey continued to ask questions, but I wasn't going to tell her what happened next. After all, it was too embarrassing. "No follow-up," I shrugged. "It's boring!" Joey said. "Are you disappointed?" I asked. Joey snickered. "I thought he was looking for you to continue the romantic relationship!" I immediately resisted. Your imagination takes flight on gⱯlnσνℓs․com "I'm not interested!" "Not interested? God, do you know how many people would be jealous if they knew you slept with the boss?" Joey looked down at a photo of Herbert on her phone. In just a few hours, the photo of him had already been shared by all the female employees at the company. "Then you'd better not tell anyone else. I don't want to be envied by everyone," I replied, smiling and shaking my head. "Hey, what does it feel like to sleep with the boss?" Joey raised an eyebrow at me. I raised one of my own and said, "Just... average. You can try it if you don't believe me." "I wish I could try," Joey rolled her eyes at me and went back to her seat. Even though I had slept with Herbert, I regretted that I was so drunk at the time that I couldn't remember much of the experience. Thinking about it, I still felt a bit of regret. But, there would be no more opportunities in the future. Aside from the boss and the company, there was no other connection between us. Just as I was thinking about this, my phone rang. It was a call from Susan. I knew she was probably reminding me to attend Uncle John's birthday party in the afternoon. I couldn't help but take a deep breath at the thought of what I might have to face tonight...I took the afternoon off. At one o'clock, I arrived at the Conrad Hotel. I delivered the gift I had prepared and exchanged a few birthday wishes with Uncle John. My father hadn't arrived yet, and I didn't want to see him and his lover together, so I planned to leave at that point. However, Aunt Carter stopped me. "Bella, we'll leave after lunch. There's another very important guest coming!" "Which important guest?" I asked, curious. Uncle John and Aunt Carter were ordinary people, and their friends were just like us. How could there be any important guests? . . . Five-year-old Annie, who can understand animals, saved Landon Hawthorne, a wealthy businessman, from suicide.
