Chapter 55
Carla looked at Jamie blankly, “Brother——”
“I know you may be hard to accept for a while. You don’t know me for a day or two. I’m not a bad man. I just want to take care of you. You don’t think for yourself, but for the child in your stomach. The child needs a healthy family it is conducive for his growth. I have this ability.”
Jamie was talking about this, she would be stupid if she didn’t understand it.
To Jamie, she treated him as a relative.
“Don’t worry, I will treat him like my own.” Jamie is very serious.
Carla didn’t know how to answer for a long time, “Brother, I, I never thought about—”
“Don’t rush to refuse.” Jamie looked at her, “Have you ever thought about it. After the child is born, it will ask about father in the future, what should you do? I am a psychologist. I know that children who grow up in single-parent families have personality defects. For the sake of your child, consider it carefully.”
Jamie’s attitude is very sincere. After changing from the previous ease, Lucia’s illness may be difficult to recover. She has no money and has another child. Life in the future can be imagined to be difficult.
He really wants to take care of her.
Carla lowered her head and had to admit that Jamie was right. Children need a healthy family to help them grow.
but…
This is not easy for her to accept.
This child is not her.
And his family is not ordinary.
“Words…”
“Brother.” Carla interrupted him quickly, took out a bundle from her bag, and handed it to him, “The medical expenses you paid for me last time I want to return it to you.”
Originally, she wanted to contact Lucia after meeting her, but she didn’t want to meet him, but he – also said something unexpected.
Jamie looked at the pile of money, and his face slowly sank, “He gave you this money?”
Carla shook her head, “No, Shawn gave it to me.”
She didn’t say specifically.
Jamie didn’t believe it, that was a ruthless man who would suddenly give her money?
“Words…”
“Brother, I still have to go to work.” Carla stood up and stuffed the money into Jamie’s arms, “This is what I owe you and should be paid back.”
After speaking, she hurried out.
Jamie didn’t chase her, she might find it difficult to accept for a while, he should give her some time to digest.
It was noon when she reached the company.
When she walked towards the location, she was stopped by Melda, Ollie’s good sister. Ollie was fired because of Carla. Maybe Ollie was at fault, but Ollie would not frame her for no reason.
She must have been wrong before.
“Are you late?” Melda looked at her.
“I took time off.” Carla said in a light tone.
She was new here, and the people in the office were not friendly to her, so she didn’t care. She left Melda and wanted to leave. Melda grabbed her arm and said, “You lie!”
She had already inquired about Alma, and Carla had never asked her for leaving.
“I’ve really taken time off. Could you please let me go?”
“No! You are obviously lying! You don’t think that you can do whatever you want with Mr. Blair’s protection last time!” They didn’t think deeply about what happened that day, just as Ryan’s brain was hot for a while.
Carla’s voice cooled down, “Now, please move away. If you don’t believe me, you can ask President Blair yourself.”
She doesn’t want to be an enemy, she just wants to do her job quietly, why does she bother her?
“At 2:30 in the afternoon, there was a meeting with the president of HSBC, and there was a banquet at 8 in the evening—”
Ryan put one hand into his trouser pocket, walking calmly while listening to the report of Alma’s itinerary behind him.
“Let Ramiro go to the dinner for me.” He spoke slowly.
“This banquet is the night of Brilliance’s century. Don’t be afraid that it is inappropriate.” Brilliance was founded in the last century and started in the jewelry industry.
It has a history of one hundred years now-
“President Blair, Secretary Tate.” Melda seemed to have found a witness and pulled Carla over. “Secretary Tate, did she ask you for leave?”
Alma looked up at Ryan slightly, shook her head, “No, what’s wrong?”
“She was late and said she had asked for leave.” Melda’s voice was two points higher, “Don’t the newcomers have to abide by the company’s regulations?”
Chapter 56
“Secretary Tate, this deserves salary deduction?” Melda was aggressive.
Alma’s tone of business affairs, “According to the company system, this is the case.”
“I didn’t want to make a fuss about this kind of trivial matter, but she was obviously late and even said that she had asked for a leave. The character of the person who tells this kind of lies must be…”
“She took time off.” When Melda triumphantly recounted that Carla’s character was not good, a low voice interrupted her.
Melda was stunned for a moment, and felt that she had heard it wrong. Can CEO Blair handle such a thing himself?
Obviously impossible.
“People who lie and come late must have problems with their character. Such people shouldn’t stay in the company.”
“I agree, she asked for leave, do you want me to say it again?” Ryan’s tone increased, slowly and heavily, giving people a sense of oppressive questioning invisibly.
Melda heard it clearly this time, it would be impossible to hear a hallucination twice.
It feels too unbelievable.
Secretary Tate should handle this kind of thing. Where does the boss handle it himself?
What is the relationship between this woman and President Blair?
Once twice-
“Okay, let’s all do things.” Alma slightly pretended to be indifferent.
But her heart is anxious.
Carla’s gaze inadvertently swept across Alma’s slightly composure face, and a thought passed through her mind. She wanted to confirm Samantha’s words that Ryan didn’t love her, but for some reason.
This reason is related to going to country A.
Originally, she just wanted to treat it as a coincidence.
However, the words of Lucia and Jamie today made her go away.
Her child needs a dad.
Alma followed Ryan into the office and reported all the itineraries. She closed the itinerary and asked tentatively, “Is Miss Lane accompany you at the dinner?”
Ryan seemed to be a little tired and closed his eyes and was silent for a few seconds, “You accompany me.”
Alma breathed a sigh of relief, “Then I will go out to work.”
Closing the office door, Alma turned slightly and saw Carla standing behind her, stopping.
“Secretary Tate, I have something to ask you, can I take a step to speak?” Carla asked.
Alma was surprised that she would take the initiative to find her.
She wanted to hear what she could say, “Okay, come to the cafe downstairs.”
Taking the elevator, the two went down to the coffee shop on the first floor.
Find a quiet place to sit down.
Neither of them spoke first. After the coffee was served for a moment, Carla spoke, “Miss Tate, the hostility towards me seems to be very deep.”
“Ryan and I are a couple, and taken apart abruptly. It were Miss Lane. What will Miss Lane do?” Alma asked slightly.
Carla held the spoon and gently stirred the coffee in the coffee cup, she was really dripping.
“You know, Mr. Blair and I are only fulfilling the marriage contract, and the deadline is not long. Miss Tate seems very anxious and very jealous of me.” She slowly raised her eyes.
“Why do you see it?” Alma chuckled slightly and took a sip of coffee.
“You and I know well, spreading my pregnancy where I live, buying people to slander me, irritating my mother, why do these things, I think Miss Tate knows clearly.” Alma pretended to be good, Carla Deeper than her, as if everything was in her hands.
“I don’t know what Miss Lane means. What I do is simply dissatisfied that you marry Ryan. If Miss Lane wants to sue, I don’t care, because Ryan will understand me.’
‘I am just a woman, a woman in love. Being robbed of the position that should have belonged to me, it is understandable to do something extraordinary.”
She smiled and looked at Carla, “Miss Lane took the initiative to ask me, but it seemed that she couldn’t keep her breath.”
Carla smiled faintly, the unpredictable look made Alma feel hairy.
The voice was cold, “What are you laughing at?”
“I heard a funny thing, is Miss Tate interested in listening?”
“what?”
“I heard that Miss Tate has followed Mr. Blair for a long time, but he didn’t fall in love with Miss Tate. She suddenly gave Miss Tate the girlfriend identity because of—” Carla paused deliberately and observed Alma’s face.
