Chapter 37 Too Calm
Chapter 37 Too Calm
Viola rolled her eyes. Indeed, he had lived a peaceful life, and how could he take her feelings into
consideration?
'As expected, he and Elly were the same kind of people. I will cause some trouble for them, ' she
thought.
Like a crab, she moved towards Maynard and sat down next to him. With concern on her bright and
clean face, she said, "Mr. Chu, you can't be too busy with your work. It's not good for you to ignore
Miss Xia."
"What's wrong with her?" Maynard raised his thick and sharp eyebrows and said in a neither hurry nor
slow tone.
She secretly pinched her thigh to make herself look more pitiful and sympathetic. Then she continued,
"Today, I saw Miss Xia make out with a gang leader in a bar. They kissed affectionately. I thought they
were so immoral to do such a thing behind you, so I photographed them with my own hands."
She unlocked her cell phone, clicked on the photo and handed it to him. Her face was full of
resentment and irritation.
Immersed in her own performance, she didn't notice that Maynard took a glance at her, and was as
calm as dead water.
"Your phone quality is poor. It's time to change it." Maynard threw the mobile phone back to her, full of
disgust in his eyes.
The corners of Viola's mouth twitched. She was not satisfied with the reaction of Maynard at all.
Carefully, she asked, "Mr. Chu, is there anything else you want to say?"
He was so calm!
Normally, when his woman was so close to another man, he would be jealous and furious and give her
a good dressing down?
"Reporter, next time, don't show me such a boring thing again." A hint of sharpness flashed across
Maynard's eyes when he saw the unwillingness on her face.
She held her cell phone so tightly that her hands turned white, as if she had a guilty conscience. "Mr.
Chu, you can't let them get away with it. It's not your style of being domineering."
Maynard acted as if he hadn't heard what she had said at all. He walked to her, stretched out his left
hand in front of her and wrapped it around the back of her neck.
She stumbled and fell on him. Just as she was about to struggle, she was pushed to the wall the next
second. Her head hit the cold and hard wall, which made her little face twisted in pain.
Maynard bent over her ear. His magnetic voice turned a little hoarse because of his deliberate lowered
voice. "Have you played enough?"
Under Maynard's oppressive eyes, Viola apologized without courage. "Mr. Chu, I just want to seek
justice for myself. Do you know that? Miss Xia drugged me and plotted to rape me. "
With a frown at the corners of his eyebrows, Maynard's clear and strong features were tightened. He
looked at Viola seriously and asked, "Is that the man in the photo?"
Viola nodded and clenched her fists. "Yes, it's him."
"I see. Don't worry about it. I'll take care of it." Maynard released her, and his face was gloomy.
Viola was stunned. Nothing would be better than truth.
Seeing Maynard's icy face, Viola felt so aggrieved. "Whatever, you don't care me anyway."
She bit her lips and ran to the second floor.
At the balcony of the second floor, she was very indignant at the thought of his attitude of defending
Elly. NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.
"Maynard, is Miss Qi back?"
"Go to the study with me."
When Viola was indignant for her failure and indignation, she heard Elly's dripping voice and Maynard's
splitting sound downstairs. After hesitating for two seconds, she ran to the top of the stairs and
stretched out one of her head to peep at them.
She saw that Maynard and Elly walked into the room in succession. She could do nothing but slip back
to the balcony.
"Click.".
The sound of closing the wooden door of the study came through. Viola was curious about what was
going on between them, so she tiptoed to them quietly.
He pressed his hands against the door and listened intently.
Maybe because of the good sound insulation effect, there was no sound coming out from the study.
Just at that moment, the door opened.
She didn't realize at all. As a result, she fell to the ground and hit a shining black leather shoes with one
centimeter close to her nose.
"Ouch!"
The cold ground was a sharp pain coming from her knee and arm, which made her cry with pain.
Maynard, the chief culprit who opened the door, looked at her coldly. "Reporter Qi, if I'm not wrong, are
you eavesdropping?"
Her heart jolted.
Apparently, she had been totally exposing. She bit her teeth to endure the pain, struggled to stand up
with her hands and feet and forced a smile. "How can I eavesdrop? I have something to talk with you.
When I was about to knock at the door, I didn't expect that it was opened so suddenly. "
Rubbing her aching arm, she had made up her mind not to admit it.
"I have surveillance video. Are you sure?" With his hands crossed in his arms, Maynard sneered and
looked down at her.
Viola's legs trembled and she fell onto the ground again. The pain she was familiar with reappeared.
She glared at him with a pale face.
"Coco, Miss Qi is so clumsy. She is not qualified to be your housekeeper. Why don't you let me teach
her? I'm sure she will be obedient and capable,"
Elly walked towards Maynard. They were very close to each other. Besides, Elly had a lovely smile.
From Viola's point of view, they looked like a lovely couple.
The same woman as him would never give up her life for anger.
She held the wall and got up. The fall was so hurt that she couldn't stand straight. She rejected weakly,
"I don't need you to pay. I can learn by myself."
Just imagining the scene that she would be caught by Elly made her shiver.
When she was about to say something, Maynard, who was standing by the side of them, warned her,
"Elly, this is my home."
"Maynard, I'm just thinking for you," Elly said in an aggrieved tone.
Maynard raised his head to take a look at her. His tone was cold yet dangerous. "Don't forget what I
have just said," he said.
I see. I'm leaving now. " The smile on Elly's face suddenly froze. She gave a disgraceful glance at Viola
before she went downstairs.
As soon as they left, Viola recalled her angry stare and felt a little confused.
She dusted her clothes and put on a flattering smile. "Mr. Chu, can you tell me what you've told her
earlier?"
Maynard cast a cold glance at her, walked over to her and carried her in his arms.
Viola was startled by his sudden move. She waved her hands and feet as she yelled at him, "What do
you want? Put me down."
"Shut up! If you keep talking nonsense, I will throw you back! " Maynard said with a straight face,
without patience.
He didn't seem to be kidding at all. It was between seriousness and being hugged by him, she made up
her mind to choose the latter.
Reluctantly, she stopped what she was doing and reluctantly settled herself down.
When her butt touched the soft sofa of the study, she eagerly moved aside and stretched out her hands
to hold herself as a defensive shield. "I'm telling you, my legs are injured. You can't do anything about
it, okay?"
"Don't be so rude to me, okay?" Maynard grabbed her wrist and pulled her back.
His touch made her gasp in pain.
She didn't release her until Maynard noticed that her hand was injured.
She rolled up her trouser pockets carefully. Her knees were red and some of them were injured. She
felt like weeping but had no tears.
