His Real Wedded Bride

Chapter 47 She Wouldn't Come Back

On hearing what Autumn said, Paula tried hard to suppress her impulse to smash her face into pieces.

But she had to hold it back, even though Autumn's words had pissed her off.

"What do you want me to do in exchange for your help?" Paula asked Autumn.

Autumn didn't say anything. To be honest, she was determined to ignore whatever happened to Cloud

now. After all, even if she did a great job, she could still get nothing out if it. Why bother then?

"Ye, I'm sorry for what I've done to you in the past. I would like to extend my apologies to you. I really

have no idea how to deal with the problem now. Please help us out." Paula was rarely courteous to her.

Accountant Li also tried to persuade Autumn. "Ye, you are a generous girl, please accept Paula's

apologies. You are colleagues. You've fought together. Moreover, Mr. Zhou has always treated you

well. You should lend a hand."

Paula had done Accountant Li a favor before, so it was reasonable for him to say a word or two for

Paula.

But Autumn felt disgusted.

A famous talk show host once said,"I hate it that some people persuade others to be generous, even

though they don't know the whole story. Keep away from such hypocrites. Be careful not to get hurt

when they are being struck by lightning."

To be honest, you don't have to listen to them or try to be generous at all. These hypocrites only think

of themselves to be good. And if we let go of these despicable ones, who the hypocrites thought to be

innocent, we would be indulging immoral behaviors.

"What if I refuse to help?" Autumn sneered. Then Ryan interrupted from outside.

He had been waiting in his office. But he couldn't wait any longer since Autumn didn't come to his

office. So he came here.

In order to save the big client, he was ready to do anything. Compared to the opportunies Shining could

give Cloud in the future, his self-esteem was nothing at all.

"Are you so cold-hearted?" Ryan asked, staring at her.

Paula rushed to him the moment she saw him. "Mr. Zhou, you just heard it all. No matter how hard I

tried to convince her, she just didn't seem to budge. I..."

"Cut the crap!" Ryan shouted at her. "If you hadn't sown discord between us, things wouldn't have

ended like this..."

"I..." Paula cast an awkward glance at Ryan. She didn't expect the predicament too.

"Mr. Zhou." Autumn stood in front of him, with sheer elegance and peace.

"Ye, we have been great partners all these years. I have always trusted you. We both didn't know this

would happen. Now our company is in trouble, so I think... I'd better have you as my planning director. I

will double your previous salary. Please help me?" Ryan begged Autumn.

Though this project was not very profitable anymore, Cloud made a huge profile owing to it. There

could be more and more orders. But if they lost this project, then it might get hard to run the business.

Who would be willing to cooperate with a company that Shining disliked?

"No! Mr. Zhou!" Paula got upset. She couldn't give up the position she had long been dreaming of. "I

have just been promoted to the planning director. How can you..."

"Shut your damn mouth up!" Ryan sneered. "Paula, you really brought a lot of harm to me. I am telling

you, if the problem with Shining is left unsolved, then you are fired!"

Autumn frowned. She now clearly understood what type of person Ryan was.

She resigned not just because of Paula. The most important reason for her resignation was that Ryan

didn't trust her.

"Mr. Zhou." Autumn threw a cold glimpse at him. "What is between us has nothing to do with Paula. I

don't care about the promotion. Now that I have made up my mind to leave Cloud, I won't come back

again."

"Why?" Ryan's mind went blank for a while. He thought he could convince her easily but perhaps he

was mistaken.

He hastily begged her. "If it is because of Paula, I will fire her right away. I only want you back."

"Mr. Zhou, I think you don't understand why I chose to leave." Autumn shook her head in resignation.

She was more determined to leave now. "You indeed treated me well when I first came here. I cannot

deny you were a wonderful mentor. You taught me everything in person. That's the reason why I Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.

reached where I am. I am, therefore, grateful to Cloud. I leave here because I have to. And now it is my

time to leave."

"Over these years, many companies tried to poach me. I refused all the invitations for the sake of your

kindness and your trust on me." Autumn stopped for a while. Then she continued. "But recently, you've

changed. Your only aim is to pursue more and more profit, just like those greedy bosses. And you don't

trust me like you did before."

"This project is the last straw. I've had just enough of this. So, I want to leave now."

"You liar! You are leaving because of Charles, aren't you!" Ryan sneered. "Ye, you say I've changed.

But look at you. Didn't you change? Can you dare to swear that your relationship with Charles is as

pure as crystal?"

She couldn't. She remained silent for a while. Then she spoke,"Mr. Zhou, it's my private life. I think it

has nothing to do with my job, so... I guess I don't have to tell you about it."

"Huh..." Ryan gave out a laguhter. "You dare not say it, don't you?"

"Ye, you make me sick." Ryan shouted at her. He was furious because Autumn refused to tell him the

truth.

Autumn frowned slightly. She wanted to stop the quarrel about these trivial things. "Mr. Zhou, I came

here to get my salary. As for the project, I will talk to Mr. Lu. But I am not sure whether I can persuade

him. Anyway, I have done my work."

After finishing her words, she turned to Accountant Li. "Please transfer my salary to me as soon as

possible. I have something urgent to do. So, I'm leaving."

"I..." Accountant Li peeked at Ryan. Though he was unhappy about her resignation, he didn't stop her.

She then answered. "Okay. I will accelerate the process."

"That'll be fine." Autumn nodded. "I should get going now."

Since her relationship with Ryan Zhou had reached a deadlock, she had nothing to do with Cloud now.

But she would still pursuade Charels to give Cloud a new chance so as to extend her gratitude to the

company.

"Autumn Ye!" "You'll regret! I swear I will make you regret!" Ryan shouted at her when she reached the

door.

She hurried to leave.

Leila followed hastily. "Ye, don't you want to give it a second thought?"

"No need. I've made up my mind." Autumn put on a smile. She felt a sudden relief. "I have been

working hard all these years. It's time for me to take a break. I would like to go traveling for a couple of

days. I'll think about the next step when I come back home."

"I would miss you if you are not here." Leila held her arm intimately. "What if...I quit the job and leave

with you?"

"Are you insane?" Autumn gazed at Leila surprisingly. She had no idea why she came up with such a

stupid idea. "You did a great job here. Why do you want to resign?"

"Since you are leaving. I see no point in working here." Leila said seriously. "Ye, you are my best friend

in this company. I am sure, with your talent, you will find a new job very soon. When you find a good

job, you can take me with you."

Autumn felt Leila was acting strange, so she couldn't help but guess what her true intention was. But,

looking at her enthusiastic and passionate face, she didn't have the heart to refuse her.
