Chapter 120
"I know that and I wouldn’t have it any other way," Henry said, he then frowned, he felt that statement was off especially with Mai saying it out of the blue. "But why do you need to repeat yourself? Do you think I will betray your boss? You know that we’re in a relationship and she’s currently pregnant with my baby, right?"
"I don’t know, Sir. My gut feeling tells me that something about you smells fishy," Mai replied. "I genuinely hope that my gut feeling is wrong, but in case you actually betray Mrs. Woods, then you should know that I will be your first enemy."
Henry was stunned by the fire in Mai’s eyes. She was a petite lady, but the fire in her eyes told him she would do anything to protect Kate.
It made him wonder if there was a story behind Mai’s devotion to Kate.
"Why are you so eager to defend her anyway? Did she ever do anything for you?"
Mai went silent momentarily and then replied, "Mrs. Woods might not realize this, but she hired me during my lowest point, Sir."
Mai tried to recall her experience of getting hired by this company, "I actually failed the interview with the HR department, but Mrs. Woods insisted on taking me in because she said that I have a lot of talent and that I should work under her."
"She’s like a mentor. She taught me many things on how to be an editor. I learned a lot from her," Mai said. "Naturally, I also admire her dedication and perseverance because she was under a lot of pressure when Mr. James Grant tragically passed away."
"If you’re so desperate about getting this job, then you’re not the one to talk about resigning and standing up," Henry said. "You just need to suck up and do your job, no need to be so fired up about defending Kate."
