It was already the morning commute time, but for God knows what reason, the taxi that Cynthia had booked just didn’t show up.
Just as Cynthia was about to be late, Gray appeared out of nowhere and said, “Hey there, do you need a ride?
It’s not easy to get a taxi during this hour.
After all, you’re running late.”
Seeing his smug face, Cynthia immediately knew what this was all about. He must have done something to her taxi order.
She gave him a cold glance and said, “I appreciate your kindness, my good boss. But no. How could I afford to let you drive me to work?”
“Anyway, you can always deduct my salary, couldn’t you?”
“And then I’ll be short of money to pay for my rent next month and get kicked out of my apartment, and that’s what you truly want, right?”
Hearing her words, he couldn’t help but think about Isreal, which made him even more furious. He then grabbed her hand and said, “Then what, you will be staying with Isreal? Aren’t you afraid that I may sack both of you from the company?”
Cynthia panicked. She couldn’t believe that this man, who was right in front of her, should become such an evil person after just three years.
Cynthia knew that she had to accept his offer. She shook off Gray’s hand and walked to his car. “The door, please.” She said.
No matter for what cause, the fact that Cynthia chose to ride his car already delighted him.
After arriving, just as Cynthia was about to get out of his car, Gray suddenly shouted, “Cynthia, since you are back now, I won’t ever let you leave me this time.
No matter who you were around now, you always belong to me!”
While saying this, he walked up to her and hugged her into his arms.
She was clearly shocked.
A moment later, she recovered herself and used all her strength to push him back.
“Please Gray, don’t be such an ignorant asshole. I don’t want+ to have anything to do with you.” She said angrily.
“Do you really not understand why I let you give me a ride this morning?”
“I will not return to good terms with you. If you were trying to do anything over the board, I warn you I’ll sue you for sexual harassment!”
Gray was stunned by her words. He had thought about being rejected many times, but never like this. Cynthia showed no mercy on him.
However, he refused to give up.
“Cynthia, I’m not harassing you, I’m pursuing you.
I could buy up 70% of your company’s stock shares and purchase the whole floor where you rent your room, just for the sake of you. So, I will not accept that answer.
Just as Cynthia was about to refuse him again, Isreal suddenly came out of the crowd with a deep frown.
He just gazed at Gray for a second, then dragged Cynthia out of that place in big treads.
After Gray left the company, Isreal took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down.
“Do you still like him?” He said to Cynthia, who was just next to him and seemed to be in deep thought.
Cynthia was caught off guard by his question. She looked out through the window and slightly shook her head, saying, “I’m not sure.
But I do know that I hate him. He took everything away from me.
And that’s my life.”
As Cynthia spoke, she clenched her hand, so tight that her fingers almost turned into a pale color
What she meant by saying “that’s my life” was that since she lost her child, the most beautiful thing that she had longed for, she didn’t want him to disturb her life.
However, she could have never thought that Gray would cruelly kill her child just because of Olivia.
Thinking of this, Cynthia turned her eyesight away, seeing the seemingly serene view outside of the window.
Hearing her answer, Isreal became silent.
He began to think that he had been around her for the past three years and was the one who was always there taking care of her. He wouldn’t let her go… He just couldn’t…
“Cynthia, I have witnessed your every step in the past three years. I think you already know what I feel about you. So, do you want to be my girlfriend?”
He was not sure what answer he might get, just as he was not sure whether she had been happy or not in the past few years.
It was unexpected for Cynthia. But just as he was saying, she did sense his feelings for her.
And she didn’t want to lie to him and let him suffer here for nothing. She had to be true to her own heart.
“Isreal, I can’t answer that question now. Too many things have happened today and I really need some time.”
“I promise I will think it through and give you my answer. Just don’t push me too hard now, OK?”
Cynthia looked at him with a soft smile, the smile that Isreal had fallen for when he saved her.
Isreal could’t force her. Even when she frowned slightly, he would feel sorry for her. How could he force her?
“All right, think about it. I’ll wait.”
“Go home and have a good rest. Don’t worry too much anymore.”
Seeing Isreal’s warm smile, Cynthia seemed to relax a little.
She even joked about her being fired from the company. She said, “What if I lose my job?”
“Then I will take care of you forever.”
