Bye, My Irresistible Love

Chapter 606: Indulgence 

Lucy’s POV:

As soon as my plane landed in New York from Florida, I headed directly for the office building of Zhester Technology When I arrived, everyone suddenly became silent and stared at me with curious eyes.I ignored their intense glares and greeted them warmly as usual.

Then I went straight to George’s office.

George’s assistant tried to prevent me from going in.

"Mr.Affleck is in a meeting.It’s not appropriate for you to disturb him now."

"I’ll wait for him inside, if you don’t mind." I held her shoulders firmly, spun her around and made her sit on the chair.

The assistant didn’t dare to stop me.

After all, there was a rumor doing its rounds that I was George’s girlfriend and he had never taken the trouble to deny the gossip.I had my reasons for coming to see him in his office, and it was not to cause Helen any trouble.

So as soon as I entered George’s office, I had my emotions in check and I braved a smile.

George’s assistant had lied to me.He was not in a meeting.He was having a merry old chat with Boswell and Jane.

When I entered, all three of them raised their eyes at me simultaneously.I walked in fearlessly without greeting anyone, pointed at Jane and asked George sternly.

"Who is this?" I questioned him seriously, like a possessive lover. But when I saw Jane’s beautiful, flawless face, I couldn’t help cursing in my heart.Damn it! No one had ever told me that Jane was so

stunning.She was exquisitely beautiful and obscenely elegant.

It seemed that Helen’s father had good genes.

Not only was Helen so beautiful but so was his love child.

"Hello! I am Jane It’s nice to meet you." Jane stood up and daintily shook hands with me.

"Nice to meet you too.I’m Lucy." I pretended as if I had never heard of her before.

But when I shook hands with her, I secretly eyed her from head to toe, a couple of times.

At a single glance, I was pretty sure that Jane had mistaken me for George’s girlfriend.I had studied psychology at university and had been an active relationship blogger for many years, so I was no amateur in this field.

"What brings you here?" George asked with disinterest "Nothing.

I just came to see you.You’ve gone too far this time.How could you send me to Honda to meet Dyer? I’ve never met a man like him in my entire life!" I sat in the seat closest to George, leaning too close for comfort, towards him.

Although I was complaining, my tone was unmistakeably coquettish.

"So did you see him?" George appeared surprised. I answered him with a question.

"Is anything too difficult for me?"

Dyer promised me that he would come to New York to meet you.

So consider my mission accomplished.I pulled off something huge, so you will have to find a way to reward me.

Damn Florida.I hated it.If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have stayed there for a second longer than necessary.

So you must give me the commission I am entitled to.

Promises are meant to be kept." I couldn’t help but complain endlessly.

"Well, it’s good that you have come back with a feather in your cap." George looked indifferent, absent- minded even.

It looked like something was bothering him.But what did that have to do with me? As long as George agreed that I had accomplished my task and he would reward me accordingly, that was enough for me.

Only then did I notice Boswell’s reaction.He looked shocked sitting next to us.I could swear his jaw dropped so low, it could have hit the ground.He kept looking from George to me alternately, uncomprehending.

Even Jane’s expression changed.I bet it came as a surprise to them that George took a fancy to a girl like me.

He had always been very scrupulous not to mix work with his private life, so they must be wondering how he could even stomach me.

He indeed appeared extremely tolerant at the moment.If truth be told, I didn’t expect George to listen to me.But he was smart enough not to expose me in front of Jane.

Otherwise, things would have become quite rough for him to handle.

"Well, in that case, I’ll go to the human resources department and submit my report.Feel free to give me more challenging jobs in the future."

Satisfied that I had achieved my goal, I got up and left the office.The main reason that I made a scene today was because I wanted to meet Jane.I wanted to see the woman who was causing Helen countless nightmares and irreversible pain.

What’s more, I wanted to use George to give Jane a head-on blow.

George’s POV:

After Lucy left, the office became silent.

I didn’t know what Lucy wanted to do, but I had no doubt that she had come armed to take revenge for Helen Although she was good at disguising herself, I could easily sense her hostility towards Jane Suddenly I remembered Helen had asked me who I would choose between her and Jane 1 felt a slight headache coming on Boswell and Jane were also silent.

They looked at me for answers, with a complicated expression Obviously, they had misunderstood the relationship between me and Lucy.Some gossipmonger had spread rumors in the company that Lucy and I were in an intimate relationship.

Now that Boswell and Jane had witnessed how brazen Lucy was, the rumors were confirmed in their minds.I had no inclination to explain anything to them.

After a moment of awkward silence, I looked at Jane and asked, "Do you have a beef with Helen?" "Helen who?" Jane asked, surprised.

"Helen Dewar.She used to go to Philadelphia High School," I said.

"Oh, Helen! Yes I do vaguely remember her.And you also still remember her?" Jane asked in a more surprised tone.

Boswell explained, "Helen is one of the lawyers for our merger case.She left the meeting abruptly yesterday.You probably didn’t even notice her."

Jane nodded and I continued my interrogation.

"What happened between you and Helen?”

"What do you mean? We haven’t seen each other for many years.You know that I only recently came back from abroad.What kind of conflict could I possibly have with her? Even if we did have any issues, it might have just been some minor misunderstanding between girls in the past.You know how high school was like," Jane said, unperturbed I nodded.

What Jane said made sense.From what I knew.

Jane had gone to study abroad after high school. Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

Then she joined Boswell and I in business.She had been abroad for many years, so it was unlikely that she and Helen had been at odds with each other.

Boswell asked, "So did Helen also graduate from Philadelphia High? No wonder she looked familiar when I saw her in the robot competition held in Philly.Perhaps I had seen her in your graduation photo?" Jane shook her head and said it was impossible.

"George and I were not in the same class with her so how could she be in our graduation photo?" Boswell scratched the back of his head and thought for a while.

"Then it must be some other photo.Anyway, I saw her photo in George’s photo album."

"I think I know which photo you are talking about.It’s the group photo of me, Kendal, Cece and Helen," I replied.

"Yes.That must be it.Well, let’s have dinner together tonight.We haven’t held a welcome party for Jane from the time she came back," Boswell suggested.

"I’m sorry.How about another day? I have a prior engagement this evening." I was in no mood to have dinner with them.

After work, I drove directly to Helen’s apartment.I guessed she must have calmed down by now after the office fiasco.

The day before when she packed my things and asked me to leave, my self-esteem was badly bruised.

But after I had calmed down, I thought that we could talk sensibly.

My self-esteem was not that important.

Besides, I believed that the conflict between Helen and me could be peacefully resolved.

However, when I arrived at her door, I was shocked to find that the lock had been changed.My belongings were put in a bag and placed beside the door along with my suitcase.

It was obvious that she had kicked me out.I sighed deeply and then rubbed the space between my eyebrows as a headache came from nowhere.

She was hell-bent on throwing me out.

This time she was not fooling around: she meant business.
