Chapter 79
Anger was boiling in Anna Stuat’s heart.
She clenched her fists hard, and her fingernails pinched her palms tightly. The pain was constantly coming, but she didn’t seem to feel it.
“Why did you do that?” After a long while, Anna Stuat finally asked.
All of a sudden, Philip Andrew leaned back and sat on the sofa in a very lazy posture. His right leg pressed on his left leg, and his eyes narrowed slightly. “Do you need a reason?”
All of a sudden, his attitude seemed to have changed from an approachable person to a superior one.
A strange sense of alienation surged up in Anna Stuat’s heart.
Sensing that she was restraining her anger, Philip Andrew raised his eyebrows. In the end, he didn’t continue to provoke Anna Stuat.
After a long while, he said, “you should still remember the deal between us, right?”
Anna Stuat was stunned. She didn’t expect that he would suddenly mention the previous deal. She frowned subconsciously and didn’t answer.
Fortunately, Philip Andrew didn’t seem to expect her to answer. He paused for a second and continued, “you cure my leg and I’ll help you deal with the Stuat family. Now that the bait for the eastern city Villa has been put down, the Stuat family has already been hooked. I’ve fulfilled what I promised you.”
His words were like a basin of cold water, pouring down to the pockets of Anna Stuat.
All the romantic thoughts in her mind vanished at this moment.
Yes, she and Philip Andrew were just trade partners from the very beginning
With a straight face, Anna Stuat felt a surge of indescribable bitterness in her heart.
However, before it was over, Philip Andrew added ruthlessly, “as for taking your mother in, it’s obviously not within our scope of business.”
Anna Stuat raised her head abruptly and looked straight at him. His eyes were as strange as ever.
“I see.” She suddenly stood up and said, “you are right. We are in a transaction. You have helped me deal with the Stuat family. You really have no obligation and responsibility to help me take and protect my mother.”
Philip Andrew remained silent.
However, Anna Stuat didn’t want to stay here any longer. She stood up and walked out. When she took two steps and was about to go out, she happened to meet Nicola Bery, who had already made tea and brought it here.
“Assistant Anna, where are you going?” Nicola Bery asked curiously.
“Go to bed.” Anna Stuat answered stiffly.
Nicola Bery’s heart skipped a beat. When he noticed the expression on Anna Stuat’s face, he finally realized that something was wrong.
“Assistant Anna, you…”
He swallowed and suddenly realized that there seemed to be something wrong with everything. It was obvious that something had happened between Anna Stuat and Philip Andrew when he had just left.
Otherwise, how could Anna Stuat look like this?
“Assistant Anna, are you in the wrong direction?” It took Nicola Bery a long time to come back to his senses. He said to Anna Stuat cautiously.
Anna Stuat raised her head and looked in the direction behind her, only to find that she was walking out of the villa.
She shook her head and said, “I did go the wrong way.”
Then she turned around and went back to her room along the stairs.
Nicola Bery felt uneasy and handed the tea to Philip Andrew.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
At this moment, Philip Andrew was massaging his temples. The tiredness of his eyes could no longer be covered up, and even Vincent seemed to be overwhelmed by it.
“President Andrew,.. What did you just say?” He hesitated for a while and asked cautiously.
“Nothing.” Philip Andrew opened his eyes and glanced at him indifferently. “I just helped her recall our deal.”
Nicola Bery’s eyebrows twitched.
Having worked for Philip Andrew for a long time, he knew Philip Andrew very well. With just a simple sentence from Philip Andrew, he could roughly guess what on earth Philip Andrew had said to hurt the heart of Andrew.
“President Andrew…” Nicola Bery hesitated and wanted to say something.
However, Philip Andrew suddenly waved his hand and stopped him. “I’m tired. You can go back and have a rest.”
Then he turned around and left without hesitation.
Staring at his back for a while, Nicola Bery sighed helplessly.
Well, too many things had happened today. She’d better talk to assistant Anna about it tomorrow.
However, on the second morning, Nicola Bery was not able to wait for Anna Stuat to come to work in the company.
Although he was the Special Administrative Assistant of Philip Andrew, he was still the general manager of the Asia Pacific region in the Andrew group. He had a lot of things to deal with every day, unless Philip Andrew had special orders, otherwise he wouldn’t stay in the president’s secretary office for a long time.
However, this morning, Nicola Bery went to the president’s secretary office more than 5 times.
The sixth time she saw Nicola Bery, the Secretary Lee of the CEO Office, who received her, sighed helplessly before she could say anything. “Nicola Bery, assistant Anna hasn’t come yet.”
As expected, Nicola Bery frowned more tightly.
The Secretary thought for a while and asked, “what do you want from assistant [安]? Why don’t you call her?”
Of course, Nicola Bery wanted to call Anna Stuat, but her phone was powered off.
All of a sudden, he felt a little helpless. Instead of answering the little secretary’s question, he said, “then keep an eye on here. If assistant Anna comes or calls to ask for leave, remember to tell me in time.”
When she was about to turn around and leave, there was a tinkle in the elevator.
The silver door opened and Anna Stuat walked out slowly.
Nicola Bery’s eyes lit up. She walked quickly over and said, “Hello, assistant Anna.”
However, Anna Stuat just nodded slightly and greeted her with a hint. Then she walked past him without any further communication with him.
Nicola Bery was stunned. After hesitating for two seconds, he hurriedly caught up with her.
“Assitant Anna, wait a minute. I have something to tell you.”
As he spoke, he quietly observed the expression on Anna Stuat’s face.
Compared with yesterday’s pale face, which seemed to be hit by something, it was much better. At least at this moment, it seemed to have returned to calm.
Nicola Bery breathed a sigh of relief.
It would be good if he could calm down. Otherwise, he really didn’t know how to tell Anna Stuat. He was afraid that she wouldn’t listen to him even if he told her.
“Let’s talk about it when I come out.”
Nicola Bery was stunned again. Then he looked at Anna Stuat, who was not wearing the company uniform. “Where are you going?”
“For Philip Andrew.”
He was confused. Anna Stuat was walking forward, and Nicola Bery could only trot to keep up with it.
Then she asked cautiously, “Why are you looking for President Andrew at this time?”
Anna Stuat had already arrived at the door of the CEO’s office. She gently knocked on the door for two times and pushed it open. At the same time, she turned around and answered Nicola Bery’s question, “resign.”
