“That must be it. What else could it be?” Annabelle agreed with Beulah’s guess and she sat on the sofa in frustration, “If we had known earlier, then we didn’t need Loredana to come back.” And she could marry Cormac.
Garrett was also upset and this issue was beyond his expectations.
Initially, he wanted to use his daughter to cement their relationship with the Mendelsohn family. If it was really as Beulah said, then by marrying his daughter to him, not only did he fail to please Cormac, but he ended up antagonizing him.
Now that the company had some difficulties, he wanted to look for Cormac to help out but it appeared that he was unable to do that now. Garrett was deep in thoughts. No wonder Cormac refused to meet him when he went to WY Tower to look for him.
“Mom.” Annabelle grabbed Beulah’s arm tightly. “Mom, why didn’t I marry Cormac?”
He was the first man that she liked. She had the chance to marry him but now she had missed out on that opportunity. She regretted so much that she turned green with envy. If she didn’t mind that
Cormac was a cripple and married him, then he may have loved her for accepting him as a cripple.
But now all these were given to Loredana and she couldn’t accept the reality of it!
“We should consider carefully our next moves now that things are the way they are.” Beulah was also upset that they had missed out on the opportunity to forge a closer relationship with the Mendelsohn family.
Garrett felt a splitting headache and was helpless that things turned out this way. Why did Cormac pretend to be crippled?
On the other end, Loredana got into the car with Cormac and sat quietly beside him.
Cormac looked very busy. He looked at the documents on his lap and adjusted his collar. Loredana kept quiet and didn’t bother him.
When they almost arrived at the WY Tower, Loredana asked him to stop the car.
“Do you have something on?”
“It’s not good that I go in together with you.” She knew that her marriage to Cormac was not to be made public. This would prevent any misunderstandings.
Now her actions started to puzzle Abbott. In the past, she was negatively affecting Cormac’s reputation but now…
Loredana got out of the car and Abbott drove to the underground garage.
Cormac exited the car and walked into the lift with Abbott following closely behind. He was extremely curious about Cormac’s feelings for Loredana and asked, “Mr. Mendelsohn, do you prefer Ms. Flores or Ms.
White?”
Cormac took a glance at him, “Don’t pry into my personal affairs.”
Abbott smiled ingratiatingly, “I did it because I was really curious. Ms. White had been staying by your side for a long time, and I think Ms. White is more suitable for you.”
“Abbott Baron.” Cormac uttered his name slowly, exuding an ineffably imposing aura. Abbott felt the chill and shivered. Just as he was about to explain it, his gaze met with Cormac’s spuriously smiling eyes. “Since you’re so interested in my personal affairs, what about having a seat and talking about this?” asked Cormac.
Abbott broke into cold sweats on the back and laughed awkwardly, “No need.”
Right at this moment, the lift arrived at the destination floor. Abbott hastily took a step backwards to distance himself from Cormac.
Cormac shot a glance at him and walked out of the lift.
Helen seemed to have known that Cormac would come back to the office at this moment and was waiting for him at the door with a document in her hand. When seeing Cormac walk out of the lift, she hurriedly walked over, “Mr. Mendelsohn, this document requires your signature.”
She didn’t mention the things that happened yesterday.
Being unreasonably troublesome would only disgust him; while being sensible and obedient would help her win his favor.
Cormac took the document, cursively signed his name, and then handed the document, saying, “Let’s have dinner together.”
Was this compensation for her?
Helen smiled, “Okay.”
“You can choose the restaurant you like.” He was responsible for this woman after all.
Helen followed him while reporting the subsequent scheduling to him.
When they arrived at the door of the office, Helen closed the schedule file and asked, “What would you like to drink?”
“A cup of coffee, please.” He then walked into his office.
Helen came to the tea room to make the coffee. When she saw the newly-promoted manager of the human resources department leading Loredana to the tea room, she became a bit anxious. ‘Why Loredana
Flores is here?’ She thought to herself.
Helen put down the coffee pot, walked out of the tea room, blocked the manager’s way, and stared at
Loredana, “Why are you here?”
There were defence and shock in her eyes. It seemed like she hadn’t expected that Loredana would show up in the company.
Loredana smiled, “I’m a translator of the company.”
Helen clenched her fists, fixing her eyes on Loredana. So Loredana seduced Cormac after she left that day?
Otherwise, how could she be recruited by the company?
Loredana walked over and whispered in her ear, “My hubby wants to see me at every moment, so he asked me to work in the company. In this way, he can always see me.”
“Don’t brag about yourself!” Helen glared at her, “Who do you think you are? Ah? Who would take fancy to you? Go and see your reflection in the mirror!”
Even though she was exceedingly wrathful, her remaining reasons reminded her not to blurt out
Loredana’ relationship with Cormac, since all the staff in the company knew that she, Helen White, was the woman that Cormac would marry in the future.
Seeing that Helen was anxious, Loredana sneered.
They were destined to be enemies the moment Helen stimulated Maxina and caused her to have psychosis.
Helen soon pulled herself back to reality. Since they were now on her home ground, wasn’t it a piece of cake for her to make troubles for Loredana?
Helen inadvertently glanced over Loredana’ belly and thought to herself, ‘I’ll not allow her to give birth to this baby.’
“Ms. White, do you know Ms. Flores?” The manager of the human resources department had discovered that they seemed to have some grudges against each other, but she wouldn’t say something rashly; instead, she pretended that she hadn’t perceived anything.
There was no fool here. The staffs working in companies like WY Group were all wise people.
Helen curled her lips into a smile that she had in usual times and replied blandly, “We’ve met before.
Now that she’s the new translator of the company, just leave her to me. I’ll arrange for her.”
