Chapter 157 We Are Going To Get Engaged
Comparing that, Michelle was not curious about how this woman had managed to find her. As an old saying went, "money makes the mare go." in addition, C City was not that big, so it was possible to find a person.
"We are going to be engaged, which is a fact. Since we are going to live together, I will not allow another person to exist in his mind. Miss Michelle, we are both women. I think you will understand me, won't you? "
Seeing that she didn't have any reaction, Ashley added.
In her opinion, a woman like Michelle just wanted money from Scott. So she could pay the money at once.
"Miss Ashely, what can I do to understand you?"
Ashley found that Michelle was a clever woman and was not hard to communicate with. She smiled and took out a document from her bag. "I have a contract with you. As long as you sign it and promise not to appear in C City any more, you will get one million."
One million was a very attractive number for a man from an ordinary family. But Michelle didn't care about it at all. Her love couldn't be valued by money.
"I appreciate your kindness, Miss Ashely. But are you giving me a hand, begging me or threatening me?" Michelle didn't take the contract. Once she took it, her dignity would be stomped on the ground in an instant.
It had never occurred to Ashley that she would say this. Her teeth gritted in anger, but she didn't dare to show it. At least she would make Michelle think that she and Scott were a perfect match!
"Miss Ashely, if you don't have anything else to deal with, I'll leave first. There are still a lot of things in the company waiting for me to deal with."
With a handbag in her hand, Michelle turned around, ready to leave. Ashley glared at Michelle's back and clenched her fists.
"If one million is not enough, what about two million! I'll give you ten million! "
She roared at the direction where Michelle left, hoping that Michelle could return. But the next second, she heard Michelle's resolute voice, "Miss Ashely, if you can buy your love with money, then what's the point of being with him?"
"You..." Ashley had never expected that this woman could be so tricky. It seemed that she underestimated her.
Once she stepped out of the building, Michelle was thankful that Ashley didn't send people to stop her. Otherwise, she didn't know what to do.
Anyway, she was brave enough for love.
Her heart was still fluttering with fear at the thought of the scene. After all, even she herself did not expect that she would be so calm.
She took a deep breath and clenched her purse belt. She stopped a taxi and headed for the company.
"Michelle, why are you so late today?"
As soon as she walked out of the elevator, the assistant asked. Raising her head, Michelle asked, "what time is it?"
"Half past nine? It's not your usual style. What happened?" The assistant asked concernedly when he saw Michelle's bad face.
Michelle shook her head with a smile and went back to her office. She was half an hour late. It seemed that the boss had to deduct her salary.
However, before she could do anything, her phone rang. She answered the phone in a hurry and found it was from Scott.
"Come to my office."
"Okay."
His tone was cold, as if he was angry. After hanging up the phone, Michelle walked over obsequiously. She stood by the door for a while before pushing the door in.
Scott sat on his chair and played with that high-price pen in his hand.
"President, are you looking for me?" She spoke cautiously. RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only
"Tell me the truth, where have you been? When I picked you up this morning, your mother told me that you went out very early and you didn't have breakfast. " Scott looked like an interrogator and there was coldness in his eyes.
Michelle hesitated because she didn't know how to answer.
"I felt a sudden stomachache in the morning when I was taking the bus, so I got off in the halfway and went to a pharmacy." Soon enough, Michelle made up an excuse.
She didn't want him to know that his fiancee had come to her.
As she spoke, she lowered her head, eyes gleaming. Scott frowned slightly, but did not continue to ask.
"What do you want for lunch?" He changed the topic.
"Whatever."
"No, you have a stomachache, so you can't eat irritating food. uhh How about we go out for lunch? " Scott hesitated for a moment and continued.
"Okay, that's a good idea." Michelle didn't know what to say except for following.
The word "fiancee" lingered in her mind and she couldn't get rid of it. She wanted to ask him directly but had no courage to do so.
By the end of the day, Michelle had been very cold, as if she was wary of Scott. This made Scott believe that something must have happened.
After work, Michelle ran out directly with her bag on her back. Scott called her name behind, but she did not reply.
After leaving the company, Michelle was afraid that he would catch up, so she deliberately blocked the taxi.
It took her a whole day to figure it out. After all, Scott had a fiancée, but what was she? Since he had decided to be engaged, she thought she'd better keep a certain distance from him.
'Where is your courage in the morning, Michelle?'
Sitting in the car, Michelle felt that her whole heart was trembling. She was very afraid that he would ask her again.
When she entered the pet store, she was complained by Emily, "Why are you so late, Michelle?"
"I'm sorry." Without further ado, Michelle went to the lounge and put on a tailored apron.
"Michelle, why didn't Scott send you here?" After she came out of the lounge, Michelle took the small animals' food to feed them. And Emily walked over from the front desk, standing on tiptoe and looking out of the door in an exaggerated way.
"Oh, he is busy." Michelle replied briskly.
Emily looked at her doubtfully. She always felt that Michelle was strange today, but she couldn't figure out what on earth was strange.
A beautiful figure entered the pet store, and the gorgeous dress made the entire store shining. Emily knew that some important clients had come!
Michelle was concentrating on feeding the food. She didn't even notice the woman who was walking into the room.
"Excuse me, miss. Do you want to buy a cat or a dog?" Emily greeted to the woman and asked her to sit in the resting area. She excitedly introduced the young animals in the store, but the woman sitting opposite to her was not interested in it at all.
"I want all the animals in your shop. Offer a price." While speaking, the woman took off her sunglasses. A fair and beautiful face came into view.
Emily couldn't help but widen her eyes. She looked at the woman in front of her, but didn't say anything for a long time.
This voice was familiar.
Michelle couldn't believe what she had thought, but she had to face it. After feeding the animals, she held the rest of the food in her arms and turned to look at the woman sitting in the resting area.
"Miss Ashely, I didn't expect you to come here."
Maybe it was the war between women, and only they could understand the hostility. At the sight of Ashley, Michelle just felt that she had become stronger for no reason. She didn't want to show her cowardliness in front of this woman. At least, she had to protect her last dignity.
It was not a surprise for her that Ashley found a pet store. But she didn't own this place alone, and the boss was still Emily.
"Miss Michelle, I didn't know that you are the owner of this shop? Wow, it must be fate. " Said Ashley coldly.
Emily looked at the two and realized something. It turned out that the woman didn't come to buy animals, but to make trouble! 'Fine, she is so unlucky to meet me!' Emily thought.
She was so crazy to make trouble in her place.
"Miss, if you sincerely want to give this little animal a warm home, I can let you take them away. But you have so many. I don't think you will be kind to them. "
Although Emily was an international friend, but she was familiar with Chinese politeness.
"Well, don't you want to entertain me if I don't buy anything?" Raising her head and looking at her with her slender fingers gently fondling her expensive dress, Ashley said provocatively.
"Of course not." Michelle looked at Emily, hinting her to make a cup of coffee for her.
Of course, Emily was not in the wrong. She would not make coffee for others easily.
Michelle had no choice but to make coffee for Ashley. However, when she put the coffee on the table in front of Ashley, she showed a disgusted look. "I'm sorry, I don't like this cheap coffee."
Seeing her friend being bullied, Emily simply stood in front of Ashley and said to her impolitely, "Miss, if you don't buy anything, I have no time to entertain you."
"Who said that? I asked you to make a price, but you didn't listen. Who else could you blame? "
Ashley opened her wallet and took out a check, staring at Michelle. Emily owned the store by herself, so she would never allow anyone to insult her love for these animals.
As a woman with dignity, Michelle didn't see the number on the check.
"Miss, didn't you see the name of our shop? It seems that you are not only a blind, you are even mentally blind. " After these words, Emily grabbed Michelle by the arm and took her to the resting room. She didn't want to stay with that woman anymore.
