Chapter 141 Do You Have Someone You Like?
At this point, there was no room for avoidance. Evelyn didn’t know what he was thinking. They had worked together for so long that he should understand what she meant, but he insisted on making it clear, which made it awkward.
There was a moment of silence in the car. She calmed down and looked down at his hand, which was grasping her wrist. She said, “Lawyer Athena, can you let go of me first?” Belongs © to NôvelDrama.Org.
Charlie was stunned. Even though he was unwilling, he restrained himself and let go of her like a gentleman. In fact, as soon as she said this, he understood what she meant. However, he didn’t give up and still kept the last unrealistic fantasy.
Evelyn said, “Lawyer Athena, I don’t know what you think of me, but I’m sure that in my eyes, I treat you as an experienced senior and a role model worth learning. I respect you, but apart from that, I don’t have any other thoughts. If there is any misunderstanding, I’m sorry.”
Her words were direct and decent. She didn’t mean to destroy their relationship as colleagues, but she didn’t want to make him have any other thoughts.
Charlie clenched his fists, and the emotions in his eyes became blazing. “Evelyn, I know you’re going to divorce, but I don’t
mind. I don’t mind it no matter now or in the future. I appreciate your working attitude and ability, and I like your personality very much. I know you don’t like me now, but can you… can you give me a chance to get in touch with you and get close to you?”
In fact, from the very beginning of their acquaintance, he felt at sense of distance between himself and Evelyn. It was not that she was putting on airs, but rather it was a natural reserve and pride that she
possessed as a girl. She was neither humble nor pushy, and she could process a variety of emotions with ease. This was the strength that was hidden under her delicate appearance.
The more he got along with her, the more attracted he became to her. Since when did he have a good impression of her?
He couldn’t remember. It was only when he saw her fall off the building that he realized how he really felt.
Once his feeling was confirmed, it was extremely difficult to restrain it.
Evelyn didn’t expect him to be so persistent. She was very nervous, but she didn’t dare to show it. She said, “Lawyer Athena, I currently have no interest in building relationships with men now. I hope we can still be good colleagues.”
Charlie was a little surprised. He had thought that Evelyn would not accept it easily, and at worst, she would think about it. He didn’t expect her to refuse so firmly.

was confident in his condition. After all, Evelyn had once
been married, and her position in the company was not as high as his. She had no reason to refuse, unless…
The man’s eyes flashed. He asked, “Do you have someone you like?”
Her heart skipped a beat. Thinking of Huston, she replied ambiguously, “Yes.”
The expectation in Charlie’s eyes was replaced by
disappointment. He finally looked away and remained silent for a long time. After a long while, he unlocked the door of the car and said in a depressed voice, “You’re free to leave now.”
She opened the car door and got some fresh air. Finally, it was not as suffocated as before. In the face of this situation, she couldn’t deal with it well, so she could only speed up to escape from the scene.
