Chapter 171:
“Yes, by myself.” Charlotte pursed her lips and looked at Arthur coolly, “No matter what I suffer in the future, it has nothing to do with you. I hope you will stop entangling me in the future. There is a clear order in our company. Employees cannot fall in love with each other. I remember that you are married, right? As a married man, you have repeatedly harassed me, a single girl. I can file a complaint against you directly. Then… …”
Arthur’s gaze turned grim.
“I didn’t expect you to have a sharp tongue. Have you thought about whose territory you’re in now? You dare speak to me like that, aren’t you afraid I’ll expel you from the Moore Group?”
“Since when do you have so much power that you can casually expel people from the Moore Group?”
Before Charlotte could speak, a cold male voice was heard first.
Charlotte was familiar with the voice, and before she could react, Arthur rushed to speak, “Mr. Manfred, what are you doing here?” Manfred?
At the sound of that name, Charlotte felt her back cringe and unconsciously wanted to avoid him.
Lately, she had been avoiding Manfred. When she saw him at the company, she avoided him from a distance. When he returned to the Moore Family, he would occasionally run into him. He would also leave as if he didn’t see him.
Now that he has come here…
“Arthur, who gave you so much power to fire employees at will?”
Although Manfred was the vice president, he usually treated people kindly and politely, but as a member of the Moore Family, his authority and harshness were also great.
Arthur was so frightened that he bent down and said trembling, “Mr. Manfred…I, I just see that this girl is always lazy. I am so angry that I said it to scare her casually. Actually, I didn’t want to fire her.”
“Really?” Manfred looked at him, “Is she lazy, or is it because you can’t induce her and then bully her?”
Arthur oozed cold sweat on his forehead and smiled awkwardly, “Mr. Manfred, don’t joke, how could I induce her?”
“Don’t you think I overheard their conversation just now?”
Arthur couldn’t say a word at this point, and his feet crumpled, “Mr. Manfred, I was wrong, please forgive me this time.”
Manfred obviously didn’t want to talk to him anymore, he merely warned in a cold voice, “Listen to me, even though she’s demoted to your department now, she’s not someone you can have ideas with, understood?”
“Yes, I understand…” Arthur nodded vigorously.
“Beat it.” Manfred was the first to utter expletives, and Charlotte was surprised to hear him, then looked past him in astonishment.
It was evident that there was coldness in those warm eyes. His appearance was completely different from usual.
So, was it true that people have two faces? Manfred seemed to be gentle with people, but in reality he had such a cold and decisive side,
Thinking about it, Manfred had already turned sideways, just in time to meet Charlotte’s eyes.
After their eyes met, Charlotte suddenly thought of something and wanted to leave.
She didn’t expect Manfred to follow in her footsteps and stop her.
“What have I done wrong for you to run away as soon as you see me?”
Charlotte, “…”
She didn’t speak, and walked to the right in silence for a while, but Manfred was going to follow her to the right. Charlotte went left, and Manfred went left.
Finally, Charlotte became impatient and turned to run.
Manfred held her hand and she couldn’t move forward.
“Let go of me!” Charlotte anxiously wanted to pull her hand away. There weren’t many people here, but there were some, and many of them were from the company. If they saw her talking to Manfred, another rumor would arise.
If this rumor reached Kennedy’s ears ….
“Unless you tell me what the reason is for avoiding me, I won’t let you go.”
Compared to Charlotte’s anxiety, Manfred’s voice and tone were very steady, he didn’t seem to care about being seen by others.
The reason to avoid him? Charlotte didn’t know how to talk to him, she didn’t want to see him at all, she couldn’t accept that the stranger who slept with her that night was Manfred!
“Let go of me.” Charlotte continued to struggle, as if she hadn’t heard Manfred’s question.
Manfred’s hands were like heavy chains that locked her firmly.
“Is it because I gave your mother $300,000? Do you feel you owe me? So, you want to avoid me?”
Charlotte remained silent, still struggling.
“If it’s because of this, then you don’t have to avoid me, because I gave the money without your consent. It has nothing to do with you. You don’t need to be under pressure, and I won’t let you give it back.”
Hearing this, Charlotte’s mood finally fluctuated, she raised her eyes and stared at the person in front of her.
“Do you think this is the main reason? Manfred, let me go.”
Manfred narrowed his eyes and realized that her cold gaze was so full of entanglement and confusion at that moment. He was perplexed.
“So, what’s the main reason? Tell me.”
He grabbed her tightly by the wrist and increased his strength.
Charlotte frowned and said, “It hurts.”
Manfred came to and quickly released her hand, “Sorry, I was in a hurry just now, how are your wrists?”.
Charlotte shook him off in time and backed up two steps. “My hand is fine, but I still have a lot of work to do. I’m going now.”
After speaking, Charlotte turned and ran off. Manfred wanted to catch up with her, but stopped in place, looking dazedly at her back.
Ivy, who saw this scene not far away, clenched her fist and looked angry.
Mandy looked at her, embroidering, “Charlotte is too arrogant, who does she think she is? She dares to give Mr. Manfred a hard time, and Mr. Manfred is not …. Not even angry! Ivy, it’s monstrous!”
Ivy liked Manfred.
This was something a lot of people knew.
Not just Ivy, there were many people in the company who had a crush on Manfred. After all, he was nice to others, and besides, he was the vice president of the Moore Group. Who wouldn’t like him?
Including Ivy, they had liked Manfred for a long time. Although Manfred had talked to her, he had never actually seen her.
Seeing that Manfred cared about Charlotte now, Ivy was very jealous.
“Ivy, don’t be angry. Mr. Manfred is not infatuated with this type of woman. Maybe he just wants to talk to her about work.”
Ivy bit her lower lip, “Damn it, who is she, how can Mr. Manfred like her?”
“She wants to seduce Mr. Manfred. She’s a cheap woman. She’s already been degraded but she still won’t give up. I’m going to settle accounts with her!”
That night, as everyone was finishing their work and leaving, Ivy suddenly stopped Charlotte.
“Newcomer, I have something to tell you!”
