Chapter 376
Chapter 376
Ever since the unpleasant conversation that day, Harrison and I have been in a cold war stage.
But gradually, I found that from beginning to end, it seemed that I was the only one who thought it was a cold war. Harrison had no feeling at all.
He would still take me to work, and he would tell me everything. Even if I locked the door at night, we would still lie on the same bed when I woke up. Sometimes I was so angry that I couldn't ask him, but he just said, "This is our bed, not here."
"Sister Chelsea, have you been feeling uncomfortable recently?" His colleague, Xiaowu, suddenly stopped at my desk.
The dazed me froze. "What did you just say?" I asked after I regained my composure.
Xiao Wu covered his mouth and smiled. "I just said that you are not feeling well, Sister
Chelsea. Why haven't you been in a good state recently?"
"No, I don't. How could it be?" I denied with a smile.
"You don't know. We're all discussing something in private," Little Wu said mysteriously.
Knowing that she was trying to arouse my curiosity, I followed her footsteps and asked, "What's the matter? Do you have any gossip in private?"
"How could it be gossip? We are all serious about something," Little Wu said seriously.
I nodded and echoed, "Yes, yes, yes. You're right. What can you tell me now?"
Xiao Wu looked around, carefully bent down, and mysteriously whispered in my ear, "We are talking about Sister Chelsea in private, saying that you have been absent- minded recently. Is it a good
thing coming soon?"
At first, I didn't understand what she meant. Later, when I saw her blinking at me ambiguously, I realized that these people were suspecting that I was getting married.
It's funny to think about it. In the past, no one doubted our marriage when we were in a good relationship. Why are we in conflict now? And when the problem is very big, people say that we are married. Is it more and more like marriage when there's something wrong?
I smiled and said to Little Wu, "Now you can go back and tell them that those so-called gossip thoughts are not allowed. Harrison and I don't want to get married, let alone get ready to get married."
"Oh, who told you that we're married?" Little Wu looked at me helplessly.
This time, it's my turn to be helpless. "What else can it be if it's not a marriage? Didn't you say that good things are coming soon?"
"We are thinking that you are pregnant!” Xiaowu shook his head helplessly and said, "Forget it. I can tell from your appearance that you are pregnant."
In the face of Xiao Wu's disappointment, I could only smile bitterly.
"Pregnant? I want to ask someone why I haven't been pregnant with Harrison for such a long time. Is it because we're not fated?"
After Xiao Wu left, I went to the lounge. At noon, I didn't feel hungry and didn't eat anything. Now after Xiao Wu made such a scene, I felt it again.
She made a cup of black tea and ate two small pieces of bread. Only then did she feel that she had suppressed her hunger.
At this moment, someone also came in. I looked up and saw Liu Qian's figure. I wanted to smile at her, but when I thought that we were like strangers now, I stopped smiling and lowered my head to take a sip of tea.
I thought that even if Liu Qian wouldn't leave immediately when she saw me here, at least she would leave after drinking the water. I didn't expect her to sit down next to me.
She wants to sit with me, but it doesn't mean that I want to be with her. I got up and packed up my things and walked to the door.
"Sister Chelsea, did you quarrel with Mr. Stewart?"
Liu Qian's words made me stop. I turned to look at her, but she held it back. She tried to refute, because I didn't think there was anything to say about this kind of person.
It was a pity that I didn't want to say that Liu Qian still wanted to say it. The second before I stepped forward, she said, "That day in the hotel, I happened to see Mr. Stewart with a woman. I thought it was you at that time, but it turned out that it wasn't you."
Finally, I stopped and turned to look at her.
Liu Qian also turned to look at me and said with a smile, "I don't think Mr. Stewart is a playboy. Why is he like this now?"
"If you're interested in other people's business, you'd better handle your own business well." I suppressed the anger in my heart and tried to show an elegant smile.
Liu Qian shook her head and said with disappointment, "I still remember that when we called each other sisters, we had fantasized about the future. How could it become like this now?"
"I should be the one asking you this question," I said.
In the end, it was because of Harrison, but I didn’t say it out loud. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.
Now that I think about it, I find it ridiculous. I used to think that Liu Qian could understand my feelings, and I could also understand that I just felt Harrison on the spur of the moment. It's a pity that she hasn't changed after such a long time.
I looked at her with disappointment. "Don't care about anything that has nothing to do with you in the future. Take care of yourself."
After saying this, I no longer cared about Liu Qian's reaction. Perhaps this would be the best result for us.
Due to the fact that my superior had directly become Abbie, my workload had also begun to gradually increase. It was as if all of my work had been intentionally or unintentionally placed on me. When I was particularly tired and wronged, I really wanted to rush into my office and accuse Abbie of unfair distribution.
However, Abbie didn't give him the chance. Every time she distributed her work, she would say it at the meeting, and after that, she would say, "All the capable employees in the company like it, so they will arrange a lot of work for you. But don't complain, because in the future, the company will be promoted."
With just one sentence, I managed to hang on for more than a week.
The telephone on the internal line on the table rang. I picked it up. "Hello?"
"Come to my office."
Hearing Harrison's voice, the pencil in my hand broke. "It's still working hours. Is it inappropriate for me to go to Mr. Stewart's office?"
"It's not up to you to decide whether it's suitable or not. Come here now."
"Took, took, took... took."
A busy voice came from the other end of the phone. I looked at the broken pencil and threw it directly into the trash can.
Ten minutes later, I stood at the door of Harrison's office. There was a faint sound of someone talking in the office. I thought for a while and turned to leave.
"Miss Hodges, Mr. Stewart told me that you should go in if you're here." The secretary stood in front of her and said with a smile.
I took a step back subconsciously and replied with a smile, "There's a voice inside. I'd better come back when there's no one around!"
"No, Mr. Stewart just told us not to make things difficult for us."
Looking at the aggrieved expression on the secretary's face, it was as if I would be fired if I didn't enter. I had no choice but to turn around and knock on the office door. After getting permission, I walked in.
"Mr. Stewart, I heard that you want to see me?" I lowered my head and walked in.
