The Rewritten Love: A Second Beginning by Max Charming Chapter 1132
Kevin picked up the cup of coffee nearby and took a sip. The bitter taste spread in his mouth. Without looking at Blake, he casually picked up a document and glanced at it, “Working for Cecilia for a while has made you savvier. Nice! You’re getting smarter!”
Blake almost lost it, “Who are you mocking? Listen, Kevin. Even though you’re my immediate supervisor, I’m not afraid of you. I have someone backing me up.”
“Are you using others to intimidate me? “Kevin asked.
Blake retorted, “We’re both employees. Why do you have the right to look down on me? You exploit me like this every day. I’m a human being, not a beast. Being constantly exploited like this by you all the time, is there any point of living?”
Kevin frowned, his tone turning cold, ” Enough of your nonsense. Let’s talk about work. I’m busy.”
Cough. Cough.
Kevin coughed a few times with his fist clenched halfway. His voice became hoarse.
Blake squinted, thinking, ‘Is this guy catching a cold? Whatever. Why should I care? Doesn’t he have his assistant? And there’s also Ms. Parker by his side!’
Blake’s expression turned serious when talking about work. She pulled a chair and leaned toward Kevin. Without reservation, she recounted everything Cecilia had said to her at the hospital, ” Why do you think Cecilia wants to bet with me on whether the wedding goes smoothly? Is she trying to crash the wedding? Or is she planning to send someone to cause trouble?
“I just hope it’s not Mr. Jardin’s ex- wife, but I think that’s impossible. Yvonne is still recovering in the hospital, so she can’t attend the wedding. Besides, with so many bodyguards checking every exit on the wedding day, it’s going to look like a military operation. People who don’t know might think they are guarding prisoners!”
Kevin shot Blake a sharp look, and she immediately thought she had said something wrong. She awkwardly covered her mouth and shut it tight. It was the first time that Kevin did not lecture her. Instead, he just looked at her with a gaze that she had never seen in his eyes before.
Kevin tapped his fingers on the tabletop thoughtfully. Then, he stood up and grabbed his suit from the chair. While putting it on, he warned her,” Watch your mouth and stop spreading rumors everywhere. You better pray there are no hiccups at the wedding because if Mrs. Jardin really bolts, you’ll be the first one Mr. Jardin comes after!”
Blake gulped nervously, “T-That can’t be! I think Mr. Jardin is pretty kind!”
Kevin took out his car keys and glanced at her sideways, “Without Mrs. Jardin, who do you think in Ventropolis could keep you safe? I almost forgot to tell you: start using that noggin of yours. Right here, right now, think about why the boss himself chose you to plan this wedding. Give me an answer when I get back.”
Blake was about to pass out with her eyes wide, “Mr. Harrison, please don’t leave me! I’m scared all alone. Why do you keep saying these things to freak me out?”
When Kevin opened the door, those outside overheard all of Blake’s words. Kevin said, “If you step out of the office, we will deduct your salary three times this month.”
Blake felt as if she would be better off digging a hole right there and burying herself on the spot. She thought, ‘How did I catch the boss’s eye for this? It’s a trap! A deadly trap! Did Madelyn really decide to run away from the wedding? If she bolts, Mr. Jardin will make minced meat out of me!’
To confirm this, Blake gave Madelyn a call. Madelyn picked up the call and asked, “What’s up, Blake?”
