Chapter 943 - 008 Good get-togethers, good break-ups_2
"Yeah, don’t worry, since we’re family, we’re definitely in this together. As for invitations from outsiders, none of us are interested," Giselle Browman glanced sideways at Adelle Turner, who didn’t retaliate, but she knew that Adelle was fuming.
She was happy to see her angry, wasn’t that same person all smug before? Now it was like the wheel of fortune had turned.
Giselle Browman left with a sense of satisfaction. As soon as she left, Adelle was about to express her discontent when Michael Auclair slammed the desk with such force it echoed, his attitude contrasting starkly with how he had treated Giselle Browman.
Startled by Michael Auclair’s demeanor, Adelle had previously been on the brink of tears, but now real tears streamed down her face. "Mr. Auclair, what do you mean by this? The difference in treatment, does it need to be so obvious?"
"Now you’re complaining at me, are you? Let’s not start with the photos on the company computer. I’m asking you, what exactly are you planning by ordering so much from Lala Cake Shop?" Michael Auclair said indignantly, this woman had better not let him find out that she harbored any ulterior motives, or else, he would make her regret it.
"I...I was just thinking, since you didn’t choose Giselle Browman as the team leader but chose me instead, I thought I should show some gratitude. Your girlfriend happens to own the Cake Shop, right? I genuinely wanted to support her business, as a way of thanking you for your selflessness. I really don’t know where I’ve gone wrong?" Adelle said with her head down, tears falling heavily, trying to gain Michael Auclair’s sympathy by playing the victim.
But this tactic was absolutely useless on Michael Auclair.
To a man, when his heart is invested in a woman, he pays attention to every little expression of hers. But if a man has no place for you in his heart, no matter how much you do, it’s futile for him.
"You’d better just keep such thoughts to yourself, Adelle. Let me tell you, don’t even try to play any tricks in front of me. The moment I find out you have some foolish fantasies, I will make sure you regret it. Remember that," Michael Auclair threatened coldly, "Alright, go back to work."
"..." Watching Michael Auclair threaten her, with the unmistakable coldness on his face, Adelle’s heart suddenly sank to the bottom. But even then, she wasn’t about to let Michael Auclair get his way easily. He really pushed her to the edge. Even if she couldn’t rise to the top, she wouldn’t let him be content with Avery Graham. They would just have to rely on their own abilities then.
