Chapter 85 A Cold Fight
When she returned to the office, her colleagues had already spread the news that she had barged into the president’s office.
“At that time, it had happened so suddenly that she had been anxious. Without thinking too much, she had gone straight upstairs to see him. However, she had once again become the subject of gossip for others to talk about.
However, no matter what, there were only a few excuses. In the past, everyone said that she had a powerful background, but no one dared to say who it was. This time, she went
straight to the president’s office and came back safe and sound. It was inevitable that people would think that person is the president.
Looking at the inquiring and cautious eyes, even Ada became
cautious.
She suppressed the bitterness in her throat and tried her best not to look as usual. In life, rumors traveled faster than good
news.
She couldn’t care less about what others said. She could only
tell herself not to care so much.
Sitting on the office chair, she took a sip of water from the thermos cup. The warm liquid flowed into her stomach. When she thought of the cold look in his eyes just now, she couldn’t help but feel a chill run
down her spine.
Nora took the video away. After leaving the office, she was full of smiles. She didn’t think she was a kind person. She gave the video to her just for the unborn child.
Her only worry was that he would misunderstand her. She explained, corrected, and explained to him one by one, but he just asked her to go out with a few words.
With a sigh of frustration, she lay listlessly on the desk, took out her mobile phone, and sent a message to Grace.
Evelyn: [Are you there?]
Grace said, “Yes.”
Evelyn: [I think I provoked him just now. He is really angry.]
Grace said, “… You can provoke him. I didn’t see that coming. Tell me all about it!” (Gossip emoji).
She paused for a moment and then sent the general description of what had happened today to Grace.
Less than half a minute after the message was sent, a series of surprised emojis were sent over.
Evelyn: What do you mean?
Grace said, “I respect you. Kick down the ladder, you are doing this so well.”
When she saw this message, she frowned and her fingertips danced on the screen. “Why did I kick down the ladder? I’ve explained it to him. It’s for the sake of the child, but it doesn’t seem to be useful.”
Grace replied, “Of course, no one would be able to tolerate this. In my opinion, it’s already very polite of Huston not to hang you up. Think about it, in order to help you, the boss of a big law firm did it in person, he has put so much effort in it. In the end, you’re still on the same side as your ex-husband’s family. Can you bear it if you are in his place?”
She clicked on the dialog box, typed a line of words, and deleted it quickly. Her fingers paused, and before she could figure out how to reply, another message from Grace came.
Grace said, “In my opinion, you’re still too soft-hearted. Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
Maybe you’re doing this for the sake of the child. Maybe that’s
not what he thinks. After all, you have too much to do with
Jerry. If you’re really afraid that Mr. Lloyd will be angry, go and
coax him.”
Coax?
She imagined how this word would feel when used on him and got goosebumps all over her body. She guessed that she would freeze to death before she could calm him down.
Not everyone could withstand that person’s terrifying aura.
