“That’s great.” The manager smiled.
After the manager’s leaving, Helen deliberately ignored Loredana and went back to the tea room to make coffee.
Loredana frowned, thinking, ‘Why this woman is so childish? Does Helen think that I will be bothered by such tiny tricks?’
“Ms. White, if you’re busy, I’ll go to my hubby’s office and ask him…”
“Shut up!” Helen had barely managed to control her mood, but was soon irritated by the word ‘hubby’
again.
Why didn’t this woman go to hell?!
Loredana smiled, “What is done by night appears by day. Ms. White, you’re the one who offended me first!”
She… Did she know it?
How many details did she know?
No… No way… She wouldn’t have discovered it. That middle-aged woman, the only woman who knew about the truth, had been dead. How could she know about it?
Helen suppressed the anxiety and said calmly, “Sorry, Ms. Flores, I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“Ms. White, hadn’t you been to MY Apartment Complex?” Loredana asked why fixing her gaze on
Helen’s face.
Helen was stunned for a moment. It turned out that she was talking about this matter.
She hadn’t expected that Loredana would know about it this soon.
But it was okay as long as she hadn’t found out that matter.
Even if this was the case, she wouldn’t admit it. Helen pretended to be confused, “MY Apartment
Complex? Is that your domicile, Ms. Flores?”
Loredana sneered and decided not to continue this topic, for both of them were clear of the truth. She asked, “Where’s my working position?”
Helen pointed at the most remote corner of the office, “It’s over there.”
Loredana tried to anger her, “Even if you arrange me to work in a corner, we’re still working in the same room.”
After finishing the words, she headed towards her working position.
There were many documents about WY Group’s new project in A Country, yet the company didn’t find a translator before, so the documents were accumulated.
Helen gave her all the documents and left her no room to have a rest, requesting her to finish the translation of all these documents in two days.
When it was time to get off work, Loredana was still concentrating on the translation of these documents.
When Cormac walked out of his office, Helen had changed the suit she had been wearing during working time into a white, long dress. With her maroon hair and delicate make-up, she looked quite charming and elegant.
She walked over and wrapped her arm around his, “I remember that you favor the dishes of Sanskrit
Sky Restaurant, so I booked a table there.”
Cormac replied with a nasal sound blandly, showing little interest in it.
When he inadvertently glanced over Loredana who was sitting in a corner, he slightly raised his eyebrows.
Helen hastily explained, “There was only one vacant working position, so I could just ask her to sit there.” She then added, “I did it partly for my ulterior motive.”
Even if she didn’t point it out, Cormac would be able to see through it.
So it was a better choice for her to take the initiative to admit this.
She didn’t like Loredana.
She drooped her head, asking, “I’m so petty, right?”
Since Helen was so straightforward, what else could Cormac say?
“Let’s go.” He was still calm, showing no expressional change on his face.
Even he himself couldn’t figure out his feelings for Loredana, not to mention Abbott. He disliked her while at the same time sympathizing with her and having an urge to learn more about her, about the reasons behind her laughter and cry. What secrets did she have behind his back?
She was such an ambivalent woman and triggered his interest.
Seeing that Cormac was not angry, neither did he stand out for Loredana, Helen felt better and concluded that Cormac didn’t care much about Loredana.
Maybe he was good to Loredana, just for the sake of his mother who had died.
After all, his marriage with Loredana was arranged by his mom.
Helen felt better when thinking of this.
Loredana saw Helen and Cormac leaving arm in arm, but acted as if she hadn’t found this.
She didn’t lift her head until the doors of the lift were closed. ‘They were intimate lovers.’ Loredana thought to herself.
She couldn’t figure out the reasons why Cormac was into Helen, a woman who appeared to be simple and innocent but was indeed scheming.
Nevertheless, this had nothing to do with her.
Loredana lowered her head and laughed bitterly.
She got off work when it was nearly midnight and went back home.
As it was late in the night, there were few people in the whole office building; even the number of cars driving on the road was much less than it was during the day. Comparing to the hustle and bustle in the day, it appeared to be quieter.
Loredana was waiting for the taxi by the roadside. After a short while, a taxi drove towards her from not far away.
Loredana waved her hand.
The taxi stopped. Loredana pulled open the door to the backseats and told the driver the destination,
“No. 138, Tongfu Road.”
The driver started the car.
Looking at the sceneries that flashed past quickly through the window with her eyes half-closed,
Loredana felt a bit sleepy. She then shook her head to cheer up herself.
After a while, she found that there was something wrong with the direction that the car was heading,
“Excuse me, my destination is No. 138, Tongfu Road.”
The driver turned his head to look at her and smiled, “I drive a taxi all year round and I know which routes are shortcuts.”
Loredana nodded. She was not familiar with that district after all.
About ten minutes later, the car still hadn’t arrived at its destination. If the driver drove according to the normal route, they would have arrived. He chose a shortcut yet they still hadn’t arrived. Loredana felt that something was wrong…
