Bye, My Irresistible Love

Chapter 611: Get Even With Her

Helen’s POV:

I woke up in the middle of the night, feeling thirsty. I got up from the bed, still dazed, intending to go to the kitchen to get a glass of water. When I passed by the living room, I noticed someone sleeping on the sofa. George was too tall for the sofa, so he had to curl up to fit himself into it. The weather had grown cold lately, and all he had was a thin blanket to cover himself. He looked pitiful. In the end, I didn’t have the heart to leave him like that.

Thus, I went back to my room to grab a quilt and used it to cover him up. Once I had tucked him in and was ready to leave, he suddenly grabbed my wrist and pulled me closer. I staggered back to the sofa and fell into his arms. Slowly, he opened his eyes. He had one hand on my wrist and the other holding my waist. unwilling to let me leave.

“Do you care about me?”

Somehow, his gruff voice sounded happy. His eyes were surprisingly bright amidst the darkness. Because he was holding me, I couldn’t move. Our faces were so close to each other that they were almost pressed together.

When I looked into his eyes, I was lost in thought, and I kept on staring at him. Fortunately, I was able to pull myself together. I told myself that I should compose myself and I should never let myself be deceived again.

This man wasn’t suitable for me! I struggled to get up and said, “It’s just if you freeze to death in my house, I’ll be held accountable for it.”

George chuckle at my remark. “You don’t have to do this. I chose to be here.”

“Suit yourself.” Flustered, I ran back to my room and locked the door behind me. As I lay on my bed, my heart raced, and I became restless

The next morning, after getting dressed, I walked out of the room, only to find that George was still there.

“What are you still doing here?” I shot him a glare, grabbed the document on the table, and paced towards the door.

“I can’t give you the file yet. I still have to use it.” George took the document from my hand and added, “Let’s go to the company together. I’ll buy you some breakfast along the way. You’re already an adult, and yet you seem so clueless on living.”

The way he spoke to me as he walked ahead of me sounded like he was rebuking me but was also concerned. It was as if he had completely forgotten that I told him that we should never speak to each other again

Our interaction made it seem like we didn’t even have a huge fight a few days ago. But I, on the other hand, couldn’t pretend like nothing happened.

Despite the fact that he refused to face them, those problems still existed. Even if we could pretend like nothing happened, Jane was and would still remain a problem between me and George. As long as that bitch remained in my life, I would never be able to move on.

By then, maybe George and I would just blow up again amidst all the accumulated conflicts, And if that were to happen, our relationship would become irredeemable. I forced myself to calm down.

As I stood by the door, I looked into his eyes and asked, “Are you sure you won’t see or contact Jane anymore?”

It was such a simple choice. All he had to do was to choose between me and Jane. George frowned, falling silent for a long time. He didn’t answer my question. NôvelDrama.Org owns this.

All throughout our relationship, he had never clearly expressed his love for me. No matter how nervous I was, I knew that if I truly loved someone, I would definitely tell him.

The truth was, he just didn’t love me. Perhaps he was infatuated with me at some point or something, but that feeling wouldn’t be enough to make him give up on Jane. It was clear enough, wasn’t it? In all honesty, all of my attempts were unnecessary.

I knew that his answer wasn’t what I wanted to hear. Why did I keep asking him over and over? Now that I had realized that, I wanted to free myself of those messy thoughts. I just wanted to get the document from him.

“Give me the document. I need it, too.” “Just leave it to me for now. I really need it.” George walked out along with the document. I went after him and furrowed my brows.

“Are you really going to tell Anya that I lost this document yesterday?” Aside from that, I had no clue what he’d use the document for.

“It’s possible,” George replied. What he said only pissed me off. He knew how serious the impact would be on my career if my boss found out about this, but he intended on telling on me.

Even though I knew he was actually doing the right thing, it still made me feel sad when he said he’d do it.

I was so angry that I walked out. When I passed by his car, I didn’t bother to go in and even kicked the door out of frustration. The car didn’t move an inch, but my foot got hurt pretty bad.

“How childish.” George laughed from behind me, closed the door, and followed me to the subway station

Upon our arrival at the Zhester Technology building, Phil approached us with a stern expression.

“Helen, did you lose Smart Technology’s company constitution?”

“How did you know that?” I asked in surprise. I didn’t expect the news to spread so fast. If Phil knew about it, Anya probably knew about it, too. It seemed that George really planned to make a big fuss

about this.

“Anya is here as well. You made a big mistake this time. Why are you so careless? Listen, I’ll try to keep this issue under wraps and make sure it doesn’t spread. Otherwise, it’ll be difficult for you to gain a foothold in the law industry in the future!”

Although Phil was disappointed in me, I could tell that he really cared about me. He looked even more anxious that I was.

I was just a newcomer. If this issue were to spread out, my reputation would be ruined and I would never found a job as a lawyer ever again. Nobody would be willing to employ a lawyer who lost their client’s important document.

“Thank you, Phil,” I said with all the sincerity and gratitude I could muster.

“Don’t thank me so soon. George is the one who informed Anya to be in the company today. In all honesty, he is the CEO and he wouldn’t usually care about something this trivial. But this time, he contacted Anya without even informing Soren. Needless to say, he’s pissed,” Phil explained.

George was the one who asked Anya to be here? Was he planning to humiliate me in public? Why was he making such a big fuss about it? Was he trying to get even with me by getting me fired?
