Chapter 5

  • Chloe's POV:
  • I went home to pack up my things and was ready to complete the task in the company for the next six days.
  • Two days later, at noon, I suddenly received a call from Hank.
  • "Hank, I'm very busy right now. I don't have time to chat with you." I was a little agitated. Caculations work was far more complicated than had imagined.
  • "I know you're busy, so I don't dare to disturb you, but you have to eat. I've prepared your favorite seafood fried rice for you. Come down and take it," Hank said.
  • The last time we took the dinner, we added social accounts to each other. We talked very happily. Many things were very tacit, so we always kept in touch.
  • When I heard that he wanted to bring me seafood fried rice, I was very touched. These days, I asked my colleagues to bring some fast food back. I didn't expect that Hank still remembered that I liked seafood fried rice.
  • Looking at my watch, thought, "I should be back soon."
  • So I replied to Hank, "Wait a minute, I can go down."
  • As soon as I got out of the building, I saw Hank holding one box in his hand and smiling at me.
  • "Although work is important, health is more important. Don't be tired." Hank's voice was very gentle.
  • "I see." My eyes were a little sore.
  • I've been living in the company for several days, but no one cares about me so much.
  • "Bring it up and eat it." Hank stuffed the food into my hand.
  • I turned to look at a row of chairs not far away for pedestrians to rest. I pointed there and said with a smile, "There are still a few minutes before work. Why don't you go there with me?"
  • "Okay," Hank replied with a smile.
  • I ate the fried rice. On the one hand, I was really hungry. This fried rice was really delicious.
  • On the other hand, I have to seize the time to eat and continue to work.
  • I ate and couldn't help saying, "Well, it's delicious!"
  • "Eat slowly, be careful not to choke..."
  • "Cough cough..."
  • Before Hank could finish his sentence, I choked and bent down to cough.
  • While I was feeling very uncomfortable, I could feel that Hank was patting my back. When I felt a little better, he handed me a glass of water. "Drink some water!"
  • Hank's actions were very gentle. I'm very grateful to him.
  • I took a swig of water and caressed my chest. "It's lucky that I didn't choke myself to death!"
  • As soon as I finished speaking, I looked up and saw a man in a black suit not far away.
  • The man's temperament was cold, and his hands were in his pockets.
  • I could see that he is looking at me. I suddenly became nervous.
  • But the man did nothing then turned and left. I couldn't help but say, "Damn it, why can I see that man no matter where I am?"
  • "Do you know that person?" Hank asked. "Yes!" I replied.
  • "Who is he?" Hank asked curiously.
  • "The capitalist who exploited me," I replied.
  • "Your boss?" Hank raised his eyebrows.
  • I nodded, looked down at my watch, and got up. "I have to go back to work."
  • After taking a few steps, I suddenly turned to Hank and said, "Thank you for your seafood meal."
  • After that, I continued to walk to the office.
  • At this time, the elevator was very busy.
  • I stood among a bunch of people, waiting for the elevator. Suddenly, I heard a familiar man's voice.
  • "No wonder there will be a mistake at work. Are all the female employees in your finance department dating men at the same time as you are doing?"
  • I looked up and saw that it was Henry standing in front of me. There was a hint of mockery in Henry's words just now.
  • But I couldn't find any words to refute it. I was indeed with Hank just now.
  • Although there's no ambiguous relationship between me and Hank.
  • I don't think I should explain it to Henry.
  • After a moment of silence, I said, "Mr. William, I only represent myself. Please don't implicate the others in our department!"
  • Henry said coldly, "I think you don't have to waste your effort. You can't complete the plan before Monday."
  • His indifference and disdain annoyed me. I only felt that my chest was full of gas.
  • I turned around and walked to the safe exit in my high heels. I would rather climb the stairs than take an elevator with the detestable capitalist.
  • Henry's irony made me want to complete the task even more. From that day on, I have never left the office.
  • "If I'm hungry, I'll eat biscuits and instant noodles. If I'm sleepy, I'll lie down and sleep for an hour. After a few days, I'm very tired, and the dark circles under my eyes have become very obvious."
  • Early in the morning, when Joy entered the office, she ran over to me and asked, "Chloe, what did Mr. William come here for?"
  • I looked up blankly. " capitalist? He's never been here."
  • "I just came in and saw him coming out from here." Joy pointed at the door.
  • At this moment, Chloe suddenly understood: Henry must have come to laugh at her. He thought that he would not be able to complete the plan on Monday.
  • "Damn, I rolled up my sleeves. I must surprise him this time."
  • "I see. Boss secretly came to see you. Does he like you?" Joy said.
  • I glanced at her and said, "He can't like me. He's just waiting for me haven't finish my work and laugh at me!"
  • Joy's expression instantly changed from relaxed to serious. She said guiltily, "Chloe, I'm sorry. I got you into trouble. You've been so busy these days, but can't help you."
  • I looked up at the guilty Joy and said in a deliberately relaxed tone, "I'm fine. I'm fine! Your condition is not good now. Your brother is useless. Your mother lean on you now! Go to work quickly! I'm really fine."
  • "Thank you," Joy said gratefully. Then I saw her return to her seat.
  • I lowered my head and continued to work.. Now every minute and every second was very important.
  • On Sunday evening, my colleagues got off work and left. I was still working hard in front of the computer.
  • A steady sound of footsteps suddenly came from the empty office. I was a little scared and very nervous.
  • I suddenly looked up and saw a man in a black suit appear in front of me.
  • I didn't want to talk to him, so I didn't look up.
  • I heard him say, "There are only a dozen hours left until the bidding meeting at nine o'clock tomorrow morning. Are you sure you can complete it?"
  • Although Henry's expression was very strict this time, I didn't hear any disdain or contempt.
  • I looked at the work beside me and answered with certainty, "It will definitely be completed at five or six o'clock tomorrow morning."
  • Henry nodded. "Then I'll have a rest at the company tonight. If you're done. Give me the plan directly!"
  • Before I could say anything, he had already turned and left.
  • I didn't rest for the rest of the night.
  • At half past six in the morning, the plan was finally completed.
  • Holding the two-inch-thick plan in my arms, I walked briskly to the office of Henry.
  • The door of Boss's office was closed. I looked inside and saw that he was already sitting at his desk. I thought he should still be sleeping at this time.
  • knock knock...
  • I knocked on the door, and the unique low voice of Henry immediately came from inside. "Come in."
  • I stepped in and placed the thick plan in front of Henry. "Sir, the plan has been completed."
  • Henry reached out and flipped through the budget case, and then asked with a puzzled look in his eyes, "Now I don't have time to verify the seriousness of the budget case. If there is a mistake in the budget case we submitted this time, our company's serious and rigorous style will be destroyed. Do you understand?"
  • I immediately became nervous, but things had come to this point. I had no reason to retreat. I must succeed this time.
  • After I finished my school, I entered this company. It's been three years, and I've been working hard. Because of the company's salary, I supported my mother and sister. I'm very grateful to the company....
  • "I understand. I've done my best to check these documents these days. I can guarantee that there won't be any big problems."
  • Henry glanced at me and said nothing.
  • He got up and said, "I'll go to print the plan now. There's a bathroom in the lounge over there. Go take a shower!"
  • "Take a shower?" I held my chest nervously and stared at the man in front of me in surprise.
  • Why does he suddenly want me to take a shower here?
  • What does this man want from me?
  • The entire floor was the company, and at this time, no one came to work. If he forced me to go to bed, how could I be his match?
  • What should I do now?
