Can't Get Away With You

Chapter 12 Break-up Fee

Hearing that, Lois's body froze. She didn't care whether she left or not. This was the man she loved the whole youth. How could he be so hard hearted?!

Looking at the pale face of Lois, Joey felt a little sorry for her. He blamed Lois secretly that she shouldn't have made him angry like this. His irritable mood disturbed his mood. He winked at his assistant and turned around to leave.

Wiping the tears from the corner of her eyes, Lois quickly caught up with him and said, "Joey Gu! If you can't explain it clearly, you can't leave! "

Lois had made up her mind to make it clear this time. Otherwise, it would be impossible for her to see Joey again because of the PR ability of his subordinates!

Joey was a little stunned by Lois's sudden impulse. She had always been introverted, and had never been so noisy. She seldom cried. They had lived together for many years, and he didn't know that she had the potential to be a shrew.

But when he saw the gossips in the employees' eyes, he was a little unhappy. Could they watch her bustle?

Seeing the CEO's unhappy face, the staff didn't dare to watch any longer and walked quickly to the company building.

Joey looked at Lois unhappily, "don't make trouble in the parking lot of the company again! Remember it. " ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

As soon as Joey took a step forward, her sleeve was pulled by the woman behind him.

Joey turned around and asked with a scornful smile, "what? Now you think it's unfair without the break- up fee? "

Lois looked at him blankly, as if she had never known him before. She was a little haggard because of a sleepless night, and now her face was as white as paper.

Fortunately, she didn't have any hope from Joey now, so she wouldn't be depressed by a few words.

She had already been mentally prepared. Insulting Sally like that in the shopping mall under Gu Consortium had already provoked him. How could he let her go so easily?

He didn't love Maggie, but he was happy to insult her with Maggie.

"I know I was wrong..."She finally lowered her head and said, "I know I was wrong. Give me the baby and I'll do whatever you want to do with it... "

She choked with sobs. She had said such words for countless times in just two months, but Joey didn't care about it, leaving her no chance to repent and beg.

Compared with Sally's pretending to be weak and entering Gu Family as a mistress, her ending was more than a hundred times pathetic.

With a straight face, Joey suppressed the pain and resentment surging out of his chest. He looked coldly at Lois's slender arm.

He seemed to have never paid attention to her, but inexplicably felt that the bony woman was not as charming as before.

"I won't let you take Maggie away." Joey raised his head and said coldly.

Lois was dumbfounded. She raised her head slightly, only to see Joey's cold and resolute chin. Two lines of tears flowed out of her eyes, "I know I was wrong. I don't dare to do that again. I won't get involved in the relationship between you and Sally... "

"Enough!" Joey just couldn't stand her pitiful look and soft begging voice, which almost forced him to agree to her request.

"As I said, Maggie will not leave Gu Family! As for you, no one will care whether you go or stay! "

He stretched out his hand to remove Lois's fingers, regardless of panic and resentment in his heart. Now he just wanted to stay away from her, as far as possible!

"Joey Gu..."

She reached out and grabbed the corner of his clothes, as if she had grasped the last life-saving straw. Tears were still dropping from her slimmer chin, and her eyes were struggling and begging.

Joey's heart was weighed down by a heavy stone. All the cells in his body were shouting to escape from her. He looked at her coldly, "I have a...meeting".

When he was making an excuse, he saw that all the hesitation in her eyes had turned into firmness and indifference

Hearing his usual excuse for a long time, Lois suddenly realized that if she didn't make any "choice" that satisfied him, he would never talk to her in detail, let alone let her go!

She let go of the corner of his clothes and slowly bent her knees

Joey was in great pain. Although he had never cared about Lois for five years, he knew her pride and self-respect.

If she really begged him like this today, their relationship would never be restored. No matter what it was, even if Maggie came to repair it, they could not go back to the past.

Seeing that Lois's knees were about to fall to the ground, Joey shot a murderous glance at the assistant beside him. The assistant trembled but didn't understand what he meant. His body shrank into a ball.

A sudden sense of despair rose in Joey's heart. His self-esteem rejected the warning in the bottom of his heart, but he couldn't ignore the reluctance and pain from his heart and chest.

"Wait a moment..."

A pleasant male voice was heard, and Joey was slowly relieved. It was the first time that he thanked someone for being nosy, and also the first time that he was afraid of no one interrupted. He turned to look at the source of the voice, but his eyes narrowed dangerously.

Hearing the voice of the third person, Lois was slightly stunned, but she grinned. She didn't need to be afraid of losing face since she was about to kneel down.

Joey looked up and saw a man in grey suit and golden frame glasses slowly walking towards him.

Hearing the sound of "click" approaching, Lois shrank her body, unwilling to be seen to be embarrassed.

With a gentle and elegant smile on his lips, the man got closer and closer. He took out a tissue from his pocket with his right hand, walked up and squatted down.

The smile on his lips didn't change, but a hint of pity flashed across his drooping eyelids. His fair and clean fingers took a tissue to wipe the tiny dust off the black high heels.

Lois looked at the slender hand passing through her shoes, but her tears fell uncontrollably on the back of that man's hand.

People would be strong when they were helpless, but once someone cared about them, they could not help showing weakness, showing grievance and sadness.

Kent Wu's fingers trembled, but he suppressed the anger and pain in his heart. He raised the corners of his mouth again, but not as gentle as the smile at the beginning.

He held up Lois and said gently, "a beautiful girl should leave most of the opportunities to men, instead of doing everything by herself."

Lois looked at Kent Wu gratefully.

Looking at her swollen eyes, Kent Wu took out two more tissues from his pocket and handed them to her with a smile.

Lois took the tissue and nodded.

Lois turned to look at Joey. This man was looking at her coldly, as if she was an impure woman.

Thinking of the moment when she lost her self-esteem, she felt a little depressed. Considering that Kent Wu and Joey knew each other, she couldn't leave at once.

Seeing that she wanted to say something but stopped on a second thought, Joey was even more furious. That man only gave her a piece of tissue, but she was already fascinated by him. Didn't she recognize him as his husband!
