Bye, My Irresistible Love

Chapter 605: Working In Zhester Technology

Helen’s POV:

After my day off, I went back to work. The minute Anya saw me, she was livid.

“What happened to you? Do you have any idea how much damage your behavior caused to the law firm?”

“I’m sorry.” I looked down, not daring to look her in the eye. I was indeed too emotional that day. I hadn’t seen Jane for many years, and when I saw her all of a sudden, all the bad memories flooded into my mind and almost drowned me. I lost control of myself.

The best course of action was for me to leave. Otherwise, I might do something that I’d regret. But now, I realized that running away had also damaged my career.

“What’s the point of apologizing to me? Do you have any idea how important the meeting was? All the senior executives of Zhester Technology were there! It’s also the first time that the mysterious product designer showed up, but you just got up and ran away. Because of you, George didn’t attend the following meeting. I bet he was furious,” Anya shouted.

I listened to everything she said intently and kept my head down. Anya said, “It’s important to be professional in the workplace. Even if you’re suffering from an illness, as long as you’re still breathing, you will have to remain in an important meeting You can’t just run away! Helen, I thought highly of you. But if you repeat such actions again, pack your belongings at once and get out!” I nodded once more.

Even though it made me sad that Anya was scolding me, she was right. Nobody was obligated to spoil me in the workplace. Phil took a step forward and tried to help me out.

“Anya, take it easy. Helen was indeed sick. She even took a day off yesterday, didn’t she? Don’t you know her by now? She’s the kind of woman that would never escape as long as she could hold on.”

Anya scoffed and tried to calm herself down.

“Fine. And one more thing. No matter what, do not tum your phone off. If you die of an illness, I’ll be held responsible for your death.” I could tell that she was worried about my health, but she was still as sharp- tongued as ever.

She was always like this. If I hadn’t known what kind of person she was or if I was way too sensitive, I probably would’ve cried by now. But after experiencing so many ups and downs, I knew that she meant well, so it warmed my heart

I admitted to my mistakes and laid down my pride. Then, I promised her that the same thing, wouldn’t happen again and that I’d always report everything to her

After hearing my response, Anya finally cooled down.

“Anyway, I’ll arrange another lawyer to replace you. I don’t want people from Zhester Technology to think that our law firm only has amateurs like you. It will ruin my reputation. You are still in the team, but you will have to work with Phil from now on,” she said.

“Okay. Thank you, Miss Pierce.” I gave her a grateful smile.

Fortunately, Anya didn’t ask me to quit the Zhester Technology case. This case had a direct impact to my career, and I didn’t want to give up. Now I could continue to work on the case, and I wouldn’t have to directly contact the people from Zhester Technology.

That was, I could keep my job while avoiding George and Jane. How marvelous! But before I could even celebrate inwardly, Anya continued, “This morning, Smart Technology called me, saying that their company doesn’t have any room to let us work there. So, I’ve spoken to the Zhester Technology people. They have allowed our team to work in their offices, and Smart Technology will send the relevant documents there. Honestly, I have no idea what they’re doing. This isn’t normal.” Phil analyzed the

situation and remarked, “I guess Zhester Technology has already spoken to Smart Technology and they had reached the same page. Perhaps they just need us to finish the legal processes for them.”

Anya shook her head, visibly upset. “Soren from Zhester Technology said that it was decided on the spur of the moment today. It’s an order issued by his superior, so he must follow it.” .

My mind went blank for a moment, but I managed to get the point. “So, we’re going to be working inside Zhester Technology from now on?”

If that were the case, then it meant that I’d have to see George and Jane more often. Why was this happening to me? Naturally I was upset. And now, I was wondering if I should just give up on this case.

But if I did, Anya would be so disappointed in me. I probably would never get the chance to be a successful lawyer again. Why should I give up on such a great opportunity and my future for them? That afternoon, Lucy called me. Before I could even get a word in, she came straight to the point.

“Has that woman returned? Is Jane the mysterious chief designer of Zhester Technology?” She was always well-informed. I hadn’t even figured out how to tell her, but she already knew about it.

“How did you find out about that?” I asked tentatively.

“The news is spreading all throughout Zhester Technology. Now I know why the head of the human resources department called me last night to comfort me. I thought that it was just a coincidence that chief designer was named as the same as that woman, but Cece told me this morning that it was indeed your father’s another daughter, Jane. I heard that she had dinner with Kendal last night,” Lucy said through gritted teeth.

I could tell that she wanted to tear Jane apart. Upon hearing the name, sadness and sorrow overcame me. Jane was like a curse that I couldn’t get rid of no matter how hard I tried. But luckily, after the emotional roller-coaster, I was able to restrain myself now. I nodded in response.

“Yes, it’s her.” Lucy and Cece knew how I was connected to Jane. Lucy and I were roommates during our freshman year in college. And there were many nights that I was awakened by a nightmare. Back then, I was so freaking depressed. Thereafter, Lucy listened to my story. She and Cece were my best friends. They both knew that Jane had always been a problem for me, and they kept this secret for me.

“Damn it! So, she’s been with George for so many years? Fuck this. I’m going back to New York and tear her a new one!” Lucy pounded on the table in anger. Clearly, she wanted to avenge me right away.

“Don’t worry about me. I’m fine. Have you managed to see Dyer?” I changed the topic immediately I wanted to avoid talking about me and Jane. My father was dead already. Anything that couldn’t be solved in the past, couldn’t possibly be solved in the future. For that reason, all I wanted to do was to focus on my career and make enough money, so that my mother wouldn’t suffer so much. That was enough for me. NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

“Yes, but the job isn’t important right now. I’m on my way to the airport. I can reach Zhester Technology before you get off work,” Lucy replied. She was always a woman of action Feeling helpless, I said, “Lucy, I don’t want to make things worse. If she’s not messing with me, we don’t need to do anything to her.”

“Relax. I’m going to meet her as George’s girlfriend. If she tries to do anything to you, I’ll help you. Helen, you’re no longer alone. I’m here, and I won’t let anyone push you around!”

Hearing her say that I wasn’t alone and that she was on my side was so heartwarming. Tears welled up in my eyes. Lucy had always been my friend, and she was my most stalwart ally. I felt so happy and lucky to have a friend like her.
