Let Me Go, Mr. Harvey

James’s legs are long and thin, intertwining. He leaned against the chair, his voice conveying coldness, “Then you should know that the decrease in share price caused by fake news cannot do a deadly harm to the Harvey Group.”

“Of course.

Harvey Group’s influence on the world is so huge that a little change in share price — a loss of one to two billion cannot affect it.

But James, you are a business man. It is not worth risking it for a person who is unimportant to you.”

Jessica said it slowly.

“It is indeed not worthwhile for a person who is unimportant to me.”

James put his hands on his knees, the fingers of his right hand moving to and from on his right knee. Many emotions were boiling in his eyes. “But it is worthwhile to get rid of someone who is always challenging my bottom line.”

Silence.

Even a dropping needle could be heard in the office.

Jessica’s smile froze a bit and went back normal after a while.

She went around the broken tea cup pieces, and stepped backwards in her wheelchair, “James, it is not as serious as you imagine.

As I said just now, I did not find anyone to follow you or watch you, which was not necessary for me.

The reason why I came here was just because I wanted to talk about my brother’s engagement next month with you.”

Her figure was reflected in James’s eyes. Indifference was clear in his eyes.

He held a cup of tea and intended to drink it, but he put it back on the table when he thought about Angela’s leg that was full of blisters and scars.

“If you still feel worried about it, I can promise I will never come here without your permission.”

Jessica smiled a little bitterly.

“Well.”

James answered lightly. Not wanting to make her embarrassed, he started another topic, “Did you say you wanted to talk about your brother’s engagement with me?”

Jessica nodded lightly, and said gently,

“On aunt’s birthday party yesterday, Angela went to mess up with my brother.

My parents were worried about it and afraid that Angela would mess up with my brother’s engagement party with Cathleen, so they told me to come to you and negotiate about it.”

“Me?”

The words ‘mess up with’ made James’ eyes dimmer and his chest was like stuffed by something, so he pulled his shirt lightly.

“Well.”

Jessica saw what he was doing. He loosened his shirt with his right hand, “Angela is one of your staff, so could you arrange more work for her on my brother’s engagement day? And could you let some other staff watch her, lest she goes to make trouble again? ”

After Angela came to the hospital, the doctor pricked the blisters with a sterile needle and dressed her wounds with gauze.

Because she was hurt badly, she needed to stay in hospital.

After telling her how to deal with some emergencies that might happen, the doctor left.

“Are you hurt by boiling tea?”

Gabriela leaned against the wall. Her voice was more charming with her rising tone.

Angela’s right leg was almost on gauze. She was uncomfortable because she could not move while lying on the bed. She said “yes” lightly, then she sat up on the bed with her hands supporting her.

“Miss. Jessica is really something. How can she hurt you so badly?”

Gabriela asked curiously.

“Did James say anything?”

Angela lowered her eyes and her voice was very light, “He said I could take a few days off and go to work when my wound is recovered.”

“Didn’t he say anything to Miss. Jessica?”

Gabriela’s back left the wall and bent over to ask curiously.

Angela raised her eyes and took a glance at her. After a long time, she said, “No.”

“It is really hard to guess what a man is thinking about.”

Gabriela straightened up and said.

Angela did not know what she meant. She did not want to know it. She curled her lips and said with embarrassment,

“Gabriela, can I borrow some money from you to pay for my hospital bills today?

I will pay back to you after I go back.”

She came here in such a hurry, without even taking her mobile and wallet.

“You are injured at work hour, you do not need to care about it. The company will pay it for you.”This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Gabriela stared at the scar on her face, and touched it with her fingers, “What a pity? You have such a beautiful face.”

Angela moved her head away as if unintentionally. Her bang covered the scar, “Thank you, Gabriela.”

She did not have medical insurance. If the company did not pay it for her, it would cost her one-third of her savings.

“You are always saying ‘thank you’, aren’t you tired of it?”

Gabriela raised her eyes, looked outside through the window, and said,

“Your brother and his wife just passed by here. Should I call them here to see you?”

Angela shook her head without any hesitation, “No. Thank you, Gabriela.”

Her brother and his wife came here to unwrap the bandage. They would be worried about her if they knew she got injured.

“Well.”

Gabriela came to sit on the bed in an attractive way. She held her chin, looked at Angela, and changed another topic very soon, “James hurt you leg and made you work in the Dream Club. Do you hate him?”

Angela’s face became pale all of a sudden. Did she hate him?

Of course, she hated him, but she was even more afraid of him than hate.

However, whether she hated him or not, she was not such a close friend to the manager to talk about these things.

“Did I scare you?”

Gabriela smiled lightly, her face glowing, “OK, then I ask you another question. Do you want to leave the Dream Club?”

Angela curled her lips and frowned a bit. She did not know why the manager today would ask her so many personal questions.

If she said ‘yes’, the manager would be unhappy.

If she said ‘no’, it was obviously not true.

Whatever she said was not suitable.

“Well, I do not want to tease you. Don’t be afraid.”

Gabriela stood up and made her dress, which became wrinkled after sitting down, “I have something else to do, so I am leaving. As for your wallet and mobile phone, I will tell Julia to send them to you.”

When she cane to the door, she stopped short, turned around and said,

“Don’t think about leaving Dream Club. It is impossible, because someone won’t let you go.”

She smiled and left while singing, obviously in a good mood.

But Angela was clenching the bed sheet. Her head became empty by her words.

The manager knew that she wanted to leave, so was she saying it to warn her?

Or was she just telling her it, with no other meanings?

Angela’s head was a mess. When Greyson and Luna came into her room after Julia, her head became even more messed up.

She frowned and looked at Julia, who was smiling drily and avoiding her eyesight.

“How did you get hurt again?

The whole thigh is wrapped up. Is your whole thigh injured?

Is it badly hurt?

Are you painful right now?”

The Bandage on Greyson’s head had been removed, but the thumb-size scar was still there. It was twisted because of his frowning.

He asked many questions worriedly. Seeing that Angela did not want to answer, he was so anxious that he even wanted to remove her bandage to see how badly she was injured.

“You said you wanted to see Angela, how did you just ask so many questions? What if she got infected by virus after removing the bandage?”

Luna patted Greyosn’s hands while she was sitting beside the bed. She held Angela and looked at the bandage on her leg, “Angela, is the large area of your leg hurt?”

While Luna was saying these words, her eyes became red already.

She used to admire Angela very much before, because Angela was cared and protected by the entire family. But everything changed since she hit Jessica in a car accident two years ago.
