Capítulo 240
Nevertheless, his grandfather forced him to marry her, insisting that she would make a good wife and he would rest assured even if the surgery wasn’t successful.
History was repeating itself now. The only difference was that Edmund wasn’t the male protagonist.
He knew that he wouldn’t have a chance to win back Chelsea’s heart if she got married to Luka.
When Fay noticed that Edmund was down in the dumps, she quickly said, “Pardon me, Mr. Nelson. | was just guessing.” “If you have nothing else important to say, you can leave now,” Edmund ordered, his head still lowered.
Fay did a slight bow and walked out quietly. In the corridor, one of the female employees stopped her.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe pulled her aside and asked inquisitively, “Is the boss in a better mood now?”
Although Fay and Leo were Edmund’s assistants, they had dozens of people working under them because the workload was too much for them to handle alone.
Everyone in this department stared at Fay eagerly.
It occurred to Fay that they had sensed that Edmund was in low spirits today. Perhaps his gloomy state had even put a strain on their mental health.
Despite this, she decided not to hide the truth from them. “I hate to break it to you, but the worst is yet to come. You all have to be extra careful at work, so Mr. Nelson won't transfer aggression to you.”
The entire office was filled with wails and grumbles the next second. The first female colleague said sadly, “The hardship has already begun | forgot to print out an important material for today’s meeting, so Mr. Nelson orderedto copy it by hand. Where do | start from?”
Amale employee bemoaned too. “I accidentally yawned in Mr. Nelson's presence. He said that I’m too lazy due to a lack of exercise. He tookto the company’s gym and orderedto run on the treadmill for over an hour. My bones and muscles are still aching badly.”
Someone else quipped, “I received my own share of his anger during lunch break. | was speaking to my girlfriend on the phone while sitting at the open-air bar on the rooftop when | suddenly felt a chill on my back. When | turned around, | saw Mr. Nelson staring daggers at me. Is it a crto call one’s girlfriend in the company? If | recall correctly, there’s no rule that bans employees from having a love life or making personal calls during lunch break.”
Fay smiled knowingly. She guessed that Edmund had gotten jealous when he witnessed his employee speaking so sweetly to his girlfriend while his love life was in shambles.
The female subordinate suddenly held Fay’s hand and pleaded.
“Fay, you and Leo are closer to him than the rest of us. Please find a way to cheer him up. We can’t continue to walk on eggshells around him. Our anxiety is preventing us from working well.”
Fay rubbed her forehead and replied, “I sincerely wish we could help But we can't. This matter is way beyond us.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmUsually, Fay and Leo always took it upon themselves to cheer Edmund up whenever he was depressed or facing troubles relating to work. But Edmund was distressed about love now. There was nothing they could do to help him out.
The hearts of everyone sank when they heard Fay’s response. They dreaded being at the receiving end of Edmund's anger
Although Fay really wished she could do something to calm everyone down, she was helpless in this situation.
The recent development also made her sad. She feared that Edmund would beceven more ruthless if Chelsea and Luka took their relationship to the next level. Perhaps the employees would not only have to walk on eggshells, but also avoid him as much as possible.
With a depressed heart, Fay urged everyone, “Let’s hold out hope that things will change. It’s the closing hour, so round up whatever you are doing and go home.”
The inquisitive female employee didn’t want to let the topic go. “How about you tell us what is making Mr. Nelson so angry? We might just be able to help.”
“| hate to say this, but none of us can help him. It’s not something we can handle.” Fay tried to shut down the topic once again
