Chapter 1346 There was a few seconds of silence on the phone. Then, Odell called out to her in a low voice.
“Sylvia.”
His tone was full of helplessness as if she was being unreasonable again.
Sylvia sneered. “Don‘t call me in that tone. Just say so if you don‘t want to fire her.”
“She hasn‘t made any mistakes at work.” After a pause, he added, “But I can transfer her back to the
administration department.”
It seemed like transferring Shermaine back to the administration department was the biggest compromise he
would grant.
Sylvia‘s chest still felt stuffy.
If the incident with Charles did not happen, if she did not see Shermaine bump into him, and if Shermaine did not
look like her at all, she would not have made such a request to Odell no matter how pretty Shermaine was.
However, he not only defended Shermaine time and time again, but he also called her unreasonable and yelled at
her directly in front of that minx.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThinking of those scenes, Sylvia could not suppress her
pain. She took a deep breath and asked, “Odell, do you just not want her to leave your side?”
There was a moment of silence on the phone.
The man‘s harsh breathing came, followed by his low voice. “Sylvia, we agreed to trust each other. Have you
forgotten?” Sylvia replied, “I didn‘t forget, but you repeatedly defended her regardless of my feelings. How do you
think I‘m supposed to trust you now?” “When did I defend her?”
Sylvia immediately said, “She framed Charles, but you didn‘t even listen to my explanation and insisted on sending
him to the police station. She deliberately splashed water on you and then bumped into you. You yelled at me and
called me unreasonable in her defense!” Odell paused. “She didn‘t frame Charles, and she didn‘t intentionally
splash water on me.”
Sylvia said, “Look. You‘re still defending her now.” “I‘m not defending her. I‘m telling you the truth!” “That‘s not the
truth at all. You‘ve been deceived by her... No, your heart is already biased toward her.”
“Sylvia Ross! Will you stop being unreasonable?!” he roared. 1
Sylvia sneered. “Look, you‘re yelling at me again.”
There was silence on the phone.
For a while, Sylvia did not hear him speak.
Did he hang up?
She held the phone and looked at the screen.
It showed that she was still connected. She brought the phone back to her ear. “If you don‘t need anything else, I‘m
hanging up. I still have stuff to do.”
He asked coldly, “What stuff?”
“None of your business.” Sylvia hung up the phone directly.
AT
After waiting for a few minutes and seeing that he had no intention of calling again, she put away her phone and
sat back down next to Ms. Kang and Ms. Johnson.
The atmosphere was cheerful, but Sylvia could not bring herself to feel happy at all.
In a vacant lot right outside Elysian House in Westchester , Odell clutched a cell phone. His tall figure stood straight
and unmoving for a long time.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNot far away, the manager and several waiters from whom he borrowed phones stood together, shivering while
they looked at him.
After a while, seeing that he was still standing still, a
waiter timidly spoke out. “Master Carter, I–I still need to work. Are you done with the calls?”
‘If you have, give me back my phone. You‘re going to crush it in your grip.‘
Odell‘s gaze swept toward him.
The waiter instantly lowered his head in fear, but Odell handed the phone to him.
The waiter took it and thanked him.
Then, the manager said, “Master Carter, if there‘s nothing else, we‘ll go in first.” Odell ignored him and walked
toward the parking lot. The manager immediately breathed a sigh of relief and raised his hand to wipe the cold
sweat from his forehead. The several waiters also took a long breath and could not help but mutter as they
watched Odell walk away.
“Did Master Carter call his wife? Why are they still arguing?”
“Who knows? From the sound of it, it seems his wife misunderstood that he‘s having an affair with someone else.”
“Isn‘t he? I feel like there‘s something going on between him and that secretary who accompanied him earlier.”
“Shh, stop talking. Be careful not to let him hear you.‘
