Bye, My Irresistible Love

Chapter 690: PDA 

Helen’s POV:

I still went to see Lucy several times after the day we fought.

Although we still cared about each other, there was now a crack in our relationship after she said those words.

Our trust had been broken, and we gradually drifted apart from each other.

And now, we seldom talked for fear that we would only hurt each other again.

Impressively, Lucy remained as light–hearted as before despite what the public thought of her and even though her colleagues were giving her strange gazes.

She dressed up and went to work just as she usually did.

Just like all issues, the matter died down after a few days.

People began to lose interest and started talking about something new.

As for me, I did not try to persuade her anymore.I knew that if I brought up the topic, we would only end up arguing again.

It might even hurt our friendship further.

Meanwhile, the due diligence in Fantail Entertainment was drawing to an end.I was getting busier day by day, so I did not have time to worry about Lucy.

Fantail Entertainment was an entertainment company.

Tens of thousands of people were watching the company all the time, so the company‘s qualifications, financial situation, and operation were perfectly in accordance with the law.

As a result, it only took me a while to write these reports.

However, data collection work of the contracts, such as employment contracts, business contracts, and project contracts, was a little complicated.It took me quite a while to classify and sort them all out.I had talked to Sanford several times, but in the end, I still had no idea whether or not he would renew his contract with Fantail Entertainment when his current contract expired.

Of course, I had to write what we had talked about in the report.

This was a key risk that needed special attention in the acquisition process.

Everything went smoothly according to plan.

However, something went wrong in the negotiation process.

Spacetime Finance, which had plans to acquire Fantail Entertainment, had taken a fancy to Sanford‘s business value.

However, I had written in the due diligence report that the contract between Sanford and Fantail Entertainment would expire in less than three years.

And until then, nobody knew if he would stay or not.

There was no doubt that this would greatly reduce the value of this acquisition.

When the two parties were negotiating, Spacetime Finance insisted that Fantail Entertainment sign another ten–year contract with Sanford.

Otherwise, their offer would have to be far lower than the previous one.

Fantail Entertainment could not force Sanford to renew the contract, though.

The negotiation between the two sides was in a deadlock.I was not surprised by this.

Truthfully speaking, I did not regret my decision to document everything truthfully because I just did what I was supposed to do as a lawyer.

Just as I was about to step out of the meeting room, Velma stopped me. All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

She rushed to me with a fierce look on her face and asked, "What did I tell you before? I told you not to include everything in the report! Why did you have to mention Sanford‘s contract?"

"Miss Collins, I just did my job," I answered without beating around the bush.

"You...Just you wait!"

Velma shot daggers at me and then left in a huff.I was at a loss for words as I watched her walk away.

This young lady was indeed headstrong.

Nonetheless, I just want to do my job well.

Kendal‘s POV:

In the afternoon, when I came to Spacetime Finance, I happened to bump into Velma, who was rushing out of the building angrily.

Before I could say anything to greet her, she complained, "Do you think Helen did it on purpose? She knew that I wanted to get close to Sanford, but she still wrote the contract issue in the report!"

"As you‘ve said, your target is Sanford.Of course, Helen was going to investigate him.It‘s her job.If she doesn‘t state it clearly in the report, as the main lawyer, she‘ll have to shoulder the consequences if anything goes wrong."I defended Helen as I believed that she was in the right.Velma glared at me.

"Which side are you on?"

"On the right one," I firmly replied.

Infuriated, she complained, "You‘re as rigid as Dad.Why should you have to acquire the Fantail Entertainment and make things so complicated? Can‘t you just poach Sanford from Fantail Entertainment to Spacetime Finance?"

"What will he do there anyway? Fool around with you all day long?" I retorted.

I did not want to explain anything to Velma anymore.

Besides, arguing with her was like talking to a wall.

Did she really believe that Spacetime Finance‘s acquisition plan was for her? After a thorough evaluation, Spacetime Finance had put a high mark on Fantail Entertainment‘s resources in the industry and its mature operation mode.

"Of course, not! What do you take me for? Do you think you‘re better than me? You pretended to be loyal to Cece, but you ended up falling in love with Helen.Go ahead and keep defending her.Sadly for you, she won‘t appreciate your help."

"You idiot."

I knew very well that Velma was simple–minded.I did not expect her to be so blind, though.

If she had only took the time to observe things, she would have noticed that something fishy was going on between Helen and George.

But she still believed that I liked Helen.

How funny.

While we were talking, Helen came out of Spacetime Finance‘s office building.

Even though I tried to do something for her out of kindness, I ended up messing it up.I had not seen her since, nor did I dare to visit George.It was not every day I got to meet her here.So, I took the initiative to greet her to try and make amends.

"Helen, are you done with work? How about I drive you home?" I asked with a smile.

Helen looked at me and answered, "Sure."

"I want to go with you!" Velma interjected.

She was undoubtedly gossipy.She even wanted to follow us, but I stopped her.

Erin had sent her to monitor George, and Velma was not someone who could be trusted with secrets.I could not let her know about George and Helen‘s relationship; otherwise, Erin would soon know about it too.It would be a disaster if Erin found out that George had married Helen behind her back.

"Humph! Whatever!"

Velma let out a snort and left.She was no longer a child, but she would still throw tantrums if she did not get what she wanted.I glanced at her and shook my head helplessly.

With that, I drove Helen back to the high end community where she and George lived.

By the time we reached the parking space, George was already there, waiting for us.

As soon as Helen got out of the car, George walked up to her and took her bag.He then held her hand and kissed her on the forehead.

"Are you tired?" Helen wrapped her arms around George and looked up at him.

"Yeah.I‘m exhausted." George raised his hand and gently touched her cheek.

It seemed as though she was the only one that he could see.I could not help but roll my eyes as I watched the scene in front of me.I could not stand their PDA.

Without a word, I turned around and walked to the other side, giving them some privacy.

To my surprise, I ran into Velma, who turned out to be following us here.

She had just gotten out of the car and was pointing at the two people behind me, who were hugging each other, with her eyes wide in shock.

"You...she… they..."

She was too stunned to utter a complete sentence.

George and Helen turned their heads to look at the person who had just spoken.

The former slowly let go of his beloved wife and looked at Velma with an intense gaze.

"What did you see?" he coldly asked.
