My mystery lover

Chapter 24 Her Painful Hand

Chapter 24 Her painful hand

Amy went back to the office in a hurry. She asked the pretty lady in a whisper when she just stepped in,

"Excuse me, could you please tell me the name of our boss?"

That pretty lady thought Amy was so weird. How came she didn't even know the boss's name?

Amy awkwardly scratched her head. She paid attention to nothing but the salary on the job post.

"Richard Carter, the boss's name is often seen on newspapers and magazines. How come you don't

know?"

Amy was stunned. "So... the weirdo just now is the boss? Oh my god, I am dead, I am totally dead."

She felt hard to breathe and stumbled back to her seat.

She staring blankly at the files in front of her, "What am I going to do now that I have offended the

president?"

She needed this job indeed.

"Amy Miller, why are you here? Boss is calling you to send him the files he told you before." Jack said

to Amy when seeing her in the office.

Amy sat there with no response. Jack thought she didn't hear him, so he walked over to her and said,

"Amy, boss is calling you."

"Well, I'm having a stomachache now, please, who can do me this favor?" Amy said, she just wanted to

be saved.

"It's ok. No hurry. You can go after you handle it in the bathroom. Boss requests only you to do this

job." Jack was sweet to say this.

Amy knew that the weirdo would take revenge against her. However, she remembered her dad told her

to obey with less strength.

For the sake of this job, Amy decided to listen to him. Taking a deep breath, Amy faked a smile and

went to the 30th floor.

She lightly knocked the door, but got no response. If there was no one inside, she could just put down

the stuff and left. Then she pushed the door open. However, there seated the boss, looking at her.

Amy closed the door and went over to the boss with a smile.

"Mr. Carter, here are the documents you ask for. if there's nothing for me to do, I will go and deal with

my own stuff." Amy said and placed the documents on the desk.

But this time, Amy didn't go out at once. Instead, she stood aside, waiting for the boss's command.

When Richard took a look at the documents, Amy stepped closer in haste, "Mr. Carter, do you need

some water?" Amy said and served him a glass of hot water.

However, she was so nervous that she accidentally poured the water out right in her hand, swollen and

red. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

"I am so sorry, Mr. Carter." Amy felt extremely ashamed.

Regardless of the pain, she pulled some tissue to wipe the water stains on the floor.

"Alright, alright, you don't need to deal with it here, just go, you silly girl." Mr. Carter saw her blistered

hand. He pretended to be calm and tried not to show his care, and told her to leave as if there was

nothing big deal.

"Ok, I will leave now." Amy felt like crying because of the pain and boss's ignorance.

"Don't forget to apply some medicine." Mr. Carter finally said some nice words when Amy reached the

door.

But Amy was so shamed that she wasn't listening. With tears filled her eyes, Amy left somewhere quiet

and dried her tears. She tried to put on a smile, hided her hand behind her back and went back to her

seat.

"Amy, how do you feel? Did the boss give a hard time?" As Amy returned, everyone seemed to care

about her.

"He's nice." Amy replied with a smile and sat down.

Everyone tipped each other a wink, thinking that Amy must have been criticized.

Everyone was shifting their attention from her to their own work. Her hands ached, more blistered.

Still, she had so much work to do. Her hands hurt so badly that she could only tap on the keyboard

very slowly.

'How silly! Why doesn't she ask for leave and go to the doctor? Can't she care about her hand?'

Richard thought with inexplicable anger.

Through the monitor he saw Amy crying somewhere with no one else. Suddenly he felt a bit sorry and

sad. When he saw those big blisters on her hand and her painful look, he could no longer stand it.

"Amy, someone is waiting for you downstairs, saying that your family asked you to go back." Jack said.

Amy hided her painful hand before the chubby Alisa walked over to her. Listening to what Alisa said,

Amy thought at once that it might be her father's issue, so she ran downstairs, panting. Then she saw

Robin waiting for her.

"Robin, is there something wrong about my father?" Amy asked nervously, grabbing Robin's sleeves.

"No, no, it is just something you need to go home to deal with." Robin saw the blisters on her hand, but

didn't talk about it.

"Ok, what is that?" Knowing her dad's fine, she felt relieved.

"You will see when you arrive home." Robin still kept it as a secret.

So Amy got on the car, hiding her hand so Robin wouldn't worry about it.

Having lived with Robin for days, she knew that he was a kind-hearted man, always ready to help her,

so she didn't want to worry him.

Arriving home, Robin took Amy to the garden. "The thing is, you see, Madam, this is Master's favorite

flower. It is about to bloom, and Master cannot see light during the daytime. So please take some

photos when it blooms, so that I can show them to him." Robin said as he pointed at the flower, which

indeed had several buds.

"Well, but I have to go to work at daytime. I got no time to wait here for blooming." Hearing that her

husband couldn't see light but loved flowers, she felt a bit sorry.

"Don't worry, I have requested a few days off for you. When you finish taking photos, you can go back

to work." Robin said while giving her a camera.
