Odell frowned.
Horrified, Shermaine immediately apologized, “I‘m sorry, sir! I didn‘t… I‘m so sorry.” She bent over, inte
nding to wipe his pants.
Odell bolted up immediately, causing her to bump into his crotch. The office went quiet.
“What are you two doing?”
A cold voice broke the silent atmosphere in the office.
Odell pushed Shermaine away and turned to the door.
Shermaine staggered backward and then nervously
looked at the door.
Sylvia was at the door with the

Shermaine staggered backward and then nervously looked at the door.
Sylvia was at the door with the food
container in her hand. Her hair was pulled back neatly, revealing her delicate and elegant facial feature
s, but there was a brazen frostiness on her face.
Her body froze. She had come to visit and bring him
dinner, but she found him alone with his secretary in the
office.
Odell noticed the frostiness, and his eyes narrowed. Just when he was about to speak, Shermaine beat
him to it.
“Mrs. Carter! It’s
not what you think! I was handing Master Carter the water and accidentally spilled it on him. I tried to h
elp wipe it, but Master Carter stood up, and I bumped into him. It’s not what you think!” Her explanation
was accurate, which relieved the nervousness
on Odell’s face.
He thought Sylvia would accept the explanation, but it
only fueled her frostiness.
Sylvia scoffed. “You can’t even hold a flask of water properly? You just have to spill it on him and
coincidentally bump into him?”
Shermaine wore innocence on her face. “I… I really didn’t
mean it.”
Sylvia glared at her. “Do you think I’ll believe you?”
As the secretary for a multinational company CEO, she
could not even hold a thermal flask properly?
No one would believe it, especially considering the fact that she ‘coincidentally‘ bumped into him.

Shermaine pursed her lips. She tried to explain the situation but failed to find the appropriate words. All
she could do was stand there helplessly with an innocent expression.
LIITIL
The look on her face reminded Sylvia of Tara.
Disgusted
, Sylvia turned to Odell. “She can‘t even hold a flask properly and affected your work. I believe that is s
ufficient for you to fire her.”

Shermaine‘s expression shifted. She turned to Odell, her face thick with grief.
Odell frowned. He looked at Sylvia and said gruffly, “She didn‘t do it on purpose.”
Sylvia widened her eyes in disbelief. Shermaine bumped into him, yet he tried to defend her?
Was it because Shermaine was great as a secretary, or
was it because he had spent too much time with her to the
point that he had developed feelings for her?
The coldness of anger spread across her body. Sylvia clenched her fists and asked, “Odell, are you rea
lly going to do this?
Odell answered, “I‘m speaking the truth. She didn‘t do it on purpose, whether it‘s the
flask or bumping into me.” He appeared stern, especially with his gruff voice. It seemed like he was imp
atient because of Sylvia‘s distrust of him.
Sylvia further widened her eyes. It had been three years since they lived a good life together, and he ha
d never once talked to her like that.
Now, everything changed because he wanted to defend his little secretary!
Her body shook, and her expression turned icy cold. She gulped nervously and said, “Odell, I saw
everything. Do you think I‘m blind?”
Odell frowned.
Shermaine immediately said, “It‘s my fault, Mrs. Carter.
Please don’t blame Master Carter for it. It was I who
accidentally spilled water on his pants. I’ll resign. immediately and leave as long as you don’t blame Mas
Carter for it.”
“Shut up!” Sylvia shouted. “I’ve come across people like
you before. If you really don’t want me to misunderstand,
you would have gotten the hell out!”
Shermaine’s expression shifted and her eyes turned
watery. “I’m sorry. I’m so sorry. I’ll leave immediately .
Please don’t be mad.”
Shermaine made the motion of wanting to leave the
office.
“Stand right there!” the man shouted.
Shermaine froze all of a sudden.
Odell turned to Sylvia with furrowed brows. He was
clearly holding back his frustration and anger. With a deep voice, he said, “Sylvia, can you stop being
unreasonable?”
Unreasonable?
Hvis summer. ”
