“He won’t have anything to hold against me then. He won’t be able to force me to stay. If he doesn’t
allow me to leave normally, then I’ll just escape.”
Only an escape with the right plans and arrangements in place would have a high chance of success.
Otherwise, she would quickly be found by Shawn.
Gale left the office in a depressed mood. 1
The headphones were too important for her… Not only would she get to hear Susan’s conversation
with her mother, she would also be able to find out even more secrets from Susan in the long term.
She hoped that everything would be fine in the few days she did not have the headphones.
She hoped that there would be no further incidents.
Gale was so immersed in her own emotions that she was
not paying attention to where she was walking. She ended up accidentally bumping into someone.
“Och! That’s hot! Gale, are you blind?!”
The coffee that was in Duphine’s hands was completely spilled. Half of it was spilled on herself, while
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthe other half was on Gale’s arm.
Gale’s arm completely reddened, but only Duphine’s clothes had gotten soaked.
“You’re so unlucky!” Duphine scolded, “Nothing happened when you weren’t at the company. The
moment you came, you caused something to happen! No one even knows where you’ve been for more
than a week. Do you think the company is your home? Do you think you can just come and go as you
please?!”
Duphine was already someone who caused trouble with Gale normally, and it was Gale who bumped
into her this time. Gale was at fault, which made Duphine even more assertive and aggressive.
“I’m sorry,” Gale apologized, “I wasn’t looking at where I was going. Your clothes… I’ll send them to the
dry cleaners for you. I’ll pay for them.”
“Haha, the dry cleaners, then what do I wear?”
“You can wear my clothes, or I can get you a new one from the mall across the street.”
Duphine said with disgust, “Your clothes… Huh? Are they even authentic? Gale, can you even afford
such expensive clothes with your salary? This one is worth about ten thousand!”
Gale looked down at her clothes.
That was just something she casually picked out from the cloakroom in the master bedroom. It had
been prepared by Shawn.
Was it that expensive? Around ten thousand?
It was just a jacket…
“Y-you can just take it off. Give me yours in return,” Duphine said, “Then we can forget about this.”
She looked at Gale’s jacket.
It was a limited winter edition jacket from a luxury brand. It was only sold to VIP customers. They might
not even sell it to those who had the money!
Gale had not cared about it, but when she saw the look on Duphine’s face, Gale was suddenly
unwilling to take the jacket off.
“I’ll go buy a set of clothes for you at the mall, or give you money for some clothes,” She said, “We’ll
just settle this matter like that.”
“What? You’re going back on your words?”
“I’m not used to others wearing my clothes.”
Duphine was unhappy with that response, “I don’t care. I want you to give me your clothes!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAs she said that, she reached out to grab Gale’s jacket!
Gale was the one at fault anyway!
Gale did not expect that Duphine would do something so messed up!
“Let go, you’re invading my personal space here… I can report you to the police, Duphine!”
When their colleagues saw what was happening, the colleagues all avoided them quietly.
No one wanted to get involved.
Gale had just been discharged from the hospital. She was not in a good state both mentally and
physically, so she did not have as much strength as Duphine.
One sleeve had already been pulled off the jacket.
Suddenly, Duphine let out a sharp cry, “Ah!”
She had been picked up with one hand and pulled back quickly, causing her to slam against the wall
heavily.
Gale was shocked. She suddenly raised her head to meet Shawn’s eyes.
After that, her body suddenly felt warm. Shawn had taken off his suit jacket and draped it over her
body.
He covered her up completely.
He did not want anyone else to see her white and delicate skin!
