Chapter 14 You bullied me a year ago
She endured until Brady casually finished reviewing their company's work plan report, and her forehead was almost soaked in sweat, and the corners of her eyes turned red.
The bruises on her tiger's mouth were about to bleed.
"Is this the work plan for the second half of the year that your company entrusted to me?" Brady closed the document and finally looked at her.
But when he looked at her, he realized something was wrong. Her forehead was dripping with sweat.
The corners of her eyes were red.
She looked like she had been wronged and was enduring it to the extreme.
Brady immediately frowned, looked at the wetness on her shirt, and said coldly, "Ms. Devereux, are you trying to tell me that I bullied you with this appearance?"
Violet bit her lip and looked at him. She really wanted to tell him: yes, you did bully me.
You bullied me a year ago.
And you bullied me for nothing.
In the end, it bites you back.
Thinking she was scheming against him.
And it's the same now.
Did she think that she deliberately seduced him, so she made her wait like this?
She really wanted to shout out all these grievance to him.
But the reality does not allow her to do so.
Without resolving the issues with Lilian and her stepmother, she does not want to offend this powerful figure.
Making it difficult for herself to move forward.
She can only swallow all the grievances and anger, restraining her emotions, and calmly and gently speaking like an unassertive little cat, saying, "No, Mr. Hall... Please don't misunderstand."
Pausing for a moment, taking a deep breath, she continues, "Mr. Hall, if you think there is a problem with the work plan formulated by our company, you can tell me and I will convey it to Mr. Green."
Brady's tall figure slowly approached Violet.
Violet hadn't expected him to suddenly come over, so she was startled and forgot to step back.
She just stared at him dumfounded.
Looking at this man with his imposing stature, like a wall enveloping her, Violet felt instantly trapped by his dominating presence, like a colossal web had wrapped around her.
Violet completely forgot to step back.
It wasn't until Brady approached her closely and his slender fingers pinched her soft chin that she snapped back to reality. He rudely asked, "Ms. Devereux, are you not intentionally coming to me?"
The man's fingers were slightly cool, pinching her chin in a way that made her uncomfortable.
Violet instantly regained her senses and raised her hand to push Brady's hand away. She immediately stepped back several steps and said, "Mr. Hall, I have said many times that I did not do it on purpose. I know what happened a year ago. You think it was me, and I can’t explain clearly.
But after a year, I really didn't think of offending you or plotting against you. I fought hard for this job, and I don’t want to lose it. I hope Mr. Hall can be magnanimous and not trouble me anymore. Violet spoke with sincerity.
Her sincerity made Brady stare at her intently.
Although her face showed a hint of grievance, her expression was calm, and her voice, including every word she said, maintained a distance.
Could he have guessed wrong?
Was she not really... playing hard to get?
Brady squinted his eyes and felt that he might have really guessed wrong, maybe it wasn't like that.
If she really wanted to play hard to get, he wouldn't have fallen for her tricks.
With this thought, Brady decided not to waste any more time on her. Actually, he had no interest in wasting so much time speculating whether she came here to seduce him or not.
He raised his hand and threw the work plan report that Violet had handed him back to her. "Go and tell your Mr. Green to redo a detailed plan. I don't need to see false promises; I need him to give me a reasonable work schedule. Also, next time you deliver a file, Ms. Devereux, please pay attention to your attire. Our company is not a flea market, where one can disregard appearances.” Implicitly, he wouldn’t hold this against her.
Next time, it might not be the case.
But this statement also conveyed to Violet that he no longer suspected her of playing hard to get this time.
After saying that, Brady buried his head in other files, not looking at Violet again.
Violet also didn't want him to stare at her anymore. This man had always had a strong aura.
She couldn't defend herself against it.
She quickly bent down to pick up the folder he had thrown on the marble, hugged it to her chest, and turned around to quickly run out.
The office door slammed shut.
Violet walked quickly to the elevator, and her tense heart instantly dropped.
She quickly pressed the button for the elevator floor.
When the elevator arrived, she hurriedly stepped inside.
Then she leaned against the side of the elevator, holding the folder, and took a long breath.
From now on, she really had to avoid him as much as possible. Otherwise, every time she accidentally bumped into him, he would...
Would anyone misunderstand that she intentionally seduced him?
Just like a year ago.
Violet is really frustrated.
Did she ever think that Brady's tolerance in this regard is even smaller than that of a woman like her?
Has she been holding a grudge all this time because of the incident at the hotel a year ago?
Shouldn't he feel that she is the real victim?
Even if she schemed against him, he is a man and she is a woman, so she is the one at a disadvantage!
She lost her precious virginity, while he should have come away unharmed, right?
Why does he keep thinking about it?
Of course, Violet doesn't think that he thinking about this has anything to do with her.
Brady doesn't like her; she has known that for a long time.
Maybe he really does think highly of himself.
Is he holding a grudge because he slept with a girl like her for nothing?
