Helen’s POV
George drove me to Smart Technology Company at top speed.
"Get out of the car and follow me." I unfastened the seat belt and got out of the car.
I looked at him, uncomprehending.
"Are we actually going to look for it at Smart Technology Company?" George shook his head and walked
towards a nearby trash can. He took off his coat and handed it to me "Here, hold my coat."
Then he rolled up the sleeves of his white shirt and bent over the trash can I took his coat and asked
quite confused, "What on earth are you doing?"
"I have to rummage through the trash can." George hovered over the trash can and began to look for
the document.
The trash can was filled with squashed papers, lunch boxes and other messy garbage Yuck! How could
George bear to touch all that? Under the street lamp, his figure was tall and slender.
While carefully rummaging through the trash can, his white shirt got stained accidentally I watched him
from the side.I suddenly felt a heavy, uncomfortable stone in my heart I couldn’t bear to see what he was
going through to retrieve the document for me "I found it." George raised the document and looked at me
triumphantly.
There was undisguised joy on his face Fortunately, the document was inside a plastic sleeve so it did not
get stained.
Although there were some stains on the sleeve, the document itself was intact.
However, George’s shirt was badly stained, which was particularly eye-catching I instinctively looked
away and turned to leave.
I didn’t want him to see my teary eyes at that moment.I had to admit that when he said that he had found
it, his words sounded like music to my ears.
When I saw the document, my heart skipped two beats. I was in a dilemma.I had finally made up my
mind to break up with him, but here I was, with my heart slowly melting for him all over again.I hated
myself for feeling that way, I didn’t want to get entangled with him anymore I hated myself even more for
even though I knew I should have stayed away from him, just couldn’t "Helen" George quickened his
pace and caught up with me.
He held my hand with his stained hand. The warmth of his palm filtered into my palm, dispelling the chill
of the evening I was stunned for a moment and then quickly shook off his hand, pretending to be
disgusted.
"Your hand is so dirty! Don’t touch me!" George loosened his grip and marched back to his car with the
document in his hand I followed him and wanted to take the document.
"Give me the document." George dodged my hand and said, "No! Not yet.I still have some use for it."
"What do you mean by that?"
“Are you going to show the document to my boss and expose me?" I knew that he would not just hand
over the document so easily.
He was still angry with me because I had driven him away before I had made such a huge blunder in my
work and now that he had the document with him, he had the upper hand.He would certainly use it to
blackmail me in some way.
Humph! What a mean man!
"Helen, can you at least talk nicely?" George said coldly, as the blue veins on his forehead tightened.
"Why are you taking my document? Give it back to me now.Then I’ll consider talking nicely!" I stared at
him angrily.
I wanted to grab it, but I could not reach it.
I had to hide my seething anger "I told you that I have a use for it."
"How did you know the document was in that trash can? Did you throw it in there?"
"Why would I do that?" George wanted to prod me in the forehead, but he noticed that his hand was dirty
I stood aside and watched as he opened the trunk and grabbed several bottles of mineral water to wash
his hands clean.
"Get in the car now.I’ll drive you home." It was so late.
The last subway for the night had departed.I had no choice but to tag along with him.
As soon as we got in the car, he began to nag, "There is no need for you to work so late every day.The
work is endless.Plan yourself so that you push some work to the next day."
"You are no different.You also got off work so late." I squealed and turned to look out of the window.
George sighed helplessly and gave me the silent treatment.
When we arrived at the apartment building, I expected George to drop me off and leave.
Instead, he got off with me.
"I am going upstairs to change my clothes." He pointed at his stained white shirt and spoke calmly as if
he was going back to his own house.
I rolled back my eyes and shouted, "Go back to your own house and change.I don’t have any of your
clothes here." My attitude was unacceptable, but he didn’t get angry.
He opened the trunk again and said, "I’ve brought my clothes with me." I looked at the trunk in
astonishment.
His luggage and personal belongings that I had packed and left out for him when I changed the locks,
were piled in the trunk of his car.
"What’s with the luggage? Don’t you have a home?"
"No, I don’t." His curt answer annoyed him.
He was the CEO of a major company.How could he not have a house of his own? He didn’t tell me more
than he needed to.He must be on guard against me.
Whatever!! didn’t care where he lived anyway! Humph! George took out the toiletries and clothes and
followed me into the elevator I had never seen such audacity! He stood directly behind me as I opened
the door, and when it was opened, he brushed past me and went ahead of me.
Before I could react, he rushed straight into the bathroom 1 closed the door and tried to breathe.
The sound of the shower was already in my ears.
He suddenly seemed so invigorated and was not as calm and indifferent as before.I chuckled and sat on
the sofa.
Then I looked through the document that I had finally managed to retrieve Well, that George had
retrieved.
I hadn’t figured out what had happened yet.
How could the document that was meant to be in the box suddenly land up in the trash can? It was
George’s quick wit that had saved the day.
Had he not taken me to look for the document, it would have been taken to the dump by the garbage
truck the next day.
Then it would have been gone forever Suddenly a bright image of Mattie’s face flashed through my mind
When we left the building, Mattie was holding one of the boxes of documents in her hand, She had stood
right beside the trash can.
Oh My God! The truth was obvious, wasn’t it? But these were all merely my conjectures.
If I told Anya, would she believe me? Probably not.
Would she blame me for making a mistake and trying to shift the blame to Mattie? Probably Besides,
Mattie’s father was an important client of Anya.
Even if Anya believed me, she would not take my side An endless stream of thoughts permeated my
mind.
Gradually, I cleared my head and calmed down I couldn’t act irrationally without solid evidence.
I had to plan my move strategically For now, I had to be wary of Mattie and wait for the right moment.
The bathroom door opened, and George had the nerve to walk out of the shower half naked His lower
body was loosely wrapped in a bath towel and his hair was still wet.
His upper body was carved with a chisel to perfection.
He looked so hot that no woman would be able to resist his alluring charm.
I had to suppress my excitement.
When he came out, he was talking on the phone, ordering the person on the other end of the line, "Come
and pick up my car from here and take it to the car wash.
Bring it back here when you are done." After the phone call, George walked towards me while drying his
hair.
He seductively waved his head from side to side, causing the droplets of water to fall around me.
His steps were steady, and his tall figure was getting closer and closer.
I was breathless and ran into my bedroom.
Then I shut the door and locked it.I had never resisted him before, but this time I had to be guarded.I
couldn’t give him any chance to get close to me.
Otherwise all my resistance would crumble… I was so afraid that I would not be able to control my
desires.I covered my slightly burning cheeks and tossed and turned on the bed for a long time before I
finally fell asleep.
