Chapter 4 Just Say Such Things to Me
Scarlett admitted that she felt wild when she signed the agreement and left a message to anger Mike.
But the retribution also came.
Three days later, she stood in front of the luxurious headquarters building of the Abraham Group. Her blood froze when she thought of facing Mike.
The sanatorium just called, and her mother tried to slit her wrist today to commit suicide because she had not seen that jerk for a month.
She went to the Lauren’s, trying to communicate with Allen, only to get an ultimatum. If she could not pull Mike over to their side, Allen would not go to see her mother.
Manic depression was a terrible disease, and it was difficult for the patient to control his emotions when he went out of control, just like Scarlett’s mother’s current state.
Things went back to the original. She thought she had gotten rid of Mike, but it turned out he became the key to solving the troubles.
She really did not want to take half a step into the Abraham Group if she was not in a cornered situation now. She even didn’t want to see that man’s arrogant and proud expression.
Thinking about her mother’s helplessness, Scarlett gritted her teeth and plucked up her courage to enter the building. She could just pretend that she did not bring her face out today. In order to achieve her goal, she had to take down Mike!
Before she could see Mike, she was stopped by the receptionist.
“I’m sorry, Mrs. Abraham. Mr. Abraham said that he doesn’t have time to see you.” The receptionist looked at Scarlett awkwardly.
Her workbench had a photo of Scarlett pasted on it. The higher-ups had instructed that if Mrs. Abraham was allowed in, the bonus would be deducted for half a month.
“I won’t take up too much time.”
“I’m sorry, Mrs. Abraham. I’m just an employee. Please don’t make things difficult for me…” The receptionist also could not bear to be so indifferent to Scarlett who was looking at her. But it was half a month’s salary…
“Then can I wait for him here?” Scarlett asked.
She was determined to see him. She would just wait here. Even if the building has 45 floors and Mike was on the top floor, he would always go out through the only entrance unless he could be like Spiderman, flying over the eaves and running on the walls.
Scarlett took out her phone and sat on the sofa in the rest area, playing games while paying attention to the movements of the elevator.
Mike’s handsome face was made into a pig’s head by the app on her phone. She turned his tall nose into a pig’s nose. This was her new way to vent her anger.Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.
After an unknown period of time, Scarlett was immersed in retouching Mike’s photos. Mike now was beyond recognition by her. She was so happy that she even forgot to pay attention to the elevator until a cold voice came from above her head.
“Is it fun?”
“Yes, it’s fun. Look at this sharp air of a tyrant and this vivid pig nose. A perfect match! I intend to post it on social media! What…” Scarlett finally came to her senses.
She raised her head and was horrified to see Mike standing in front of her. She didn’t know how long he had been watching.
She quickly stuffed her phone into her pocket and wanted to destroy the evidence, but it was too late!
Mike snatched her phone, held it with two fingers, and looked at her with sharp eyes.
“I heard that you wanted to see me? You just to show me this?”
“No, Mike, don’t you think this is very cute?”
Mike lowered his head and flipped through the screen, ignoring her. Scarlett could only change the topic with a soft voice.
“Mike, I have something to talk to you about. Can you give me a few minutes?”
“No.”
“In that case, one minute is fine too!”
“How come I remember someone saying that she would never want to see me?”
“Someone framed me. I am such an adorable woman. How could I say that?” Scarlett was thick-skinned and refused to admit it.
Mike played with her phone and did not answer her. Scarlett took the opportunity to continue.
“Mike, I regret it after signing the agreement. I regret it…” Why would I dump you early? She thought. She was ignored by Mike, and it was very difficult for her to continue alone.
With her excellent acting skills, even the stone should be moved by her tenderness and love. But in the end, he played with her mobile phone from beginning to end without looking at her!
Just as Scarlett racked her brains to figure out how to move Mike, he looked up and returned the phone to her.
“One minute is up.”
With that, he turned and left.
Scarlett had no time to look at her phone. She casually put it in her pocket and quickly caught up with him. He stopped and his face was full of alienation.
“I am very busy.”
Scarlett secretly pinched herself. Her eyes were red from the pain. She looked at him sadly, “Mike, I regret it. I really didn’t mean to give up such a good man like you!”
“Really? How am I good?”
“This…” Scarlett fell into a deep dilemma. She didn’t expect that Mike would have this reaction.
By the way, what advantages did he have? Damn it! How was this plot development different from what she thought?
She had thought that when she cried and pretended to be pitiful, he would soften his heart, and then she could take the opportunity to make a request. Didn’t men always like this? And Things About Mike Abraham also said he liked tender and soft women.
Mike’s face darkened when he saw her embarrassed expression.
Damn woman. It was just an advantage. Was there a need to be so torn?
“You are very handsome.” Scarlett finally thought of it. This was not going against her conscience. Although Mike was annoying, he was really handsome.
“How long can you only care about people’s appearance?”
“And you are very good at making money.” She added.
There was no doubt about this. After he graduated from Harvard Business School at the age of 18, he took over the Abraham Group that was on the verge of bankruptcy, and it only took a few years for it to develop to its current state.
Mike took out 100 from his wallet and casually threw it to her.
“Take it to buy candy and disappear immediately!”
Scarlett wanted to give him the middle finger, but she suppressed the urge to scold him. When he stepped into the elevator with one foot, she finally thought of a flattery that no man would refuse.
“You are good in bed.”
“Now you couldn’t be pretentious!” Scarlett was incomparably proud.
Sure enough, Mike stopped and looked at her with a half-smile. Scarlett immediately made a shy appearance, lowered her head, and said softly, “You are so annoying. I don’t want to be so straightforward!”
“What did you just say? Louder and more straightforward.”
Furious, she raised her head and said, “Don’t act like this after you’ve taken advantage of me!”
“Aren’t you the one asking for my help now?” Mike asked, his hand in his pocket.
All right, the people with power were the king. Scarlett raised her voice.
“I say, you are so good at bed. You can last longer and are very skilled!”
The elevator on the opposite side opened, and everyone inside looked at Scarlett in surprise. Seeing that the biggest boss of the Abraham Group was also there, they immediately turned away their eyes, pretending to see nothing.
Scarlett’s face turned red in an instant. Mike must have seen the elevator coming down from the opposite side. He deliberately provoked her!
Now everyone heard what she said. Scarlett wished she could disappear!
Mike twitched his lips. He reached out and rubbed her hair. In front of his embarrassed subordinates, he said in a tone that could anger Scarlett to death.
“Just say such things to me.”
