Chapter 1314
Odell frowned. “She hasn‘t made any mistakes at work, so I can‘t fire her.”
“Then, find a reason to fire her.” “She does her job well. I can‘t find a reason for now.”
Sylvia said coldly, “Admit it, you just don‘t want to fire her!”
Odell pursed his lips, frowning deeply. His gaze was gloomy. It seemed like he was forcing down his
temper. The strength of his arms around her was also obviously not as tight as before. Sylvia‘s heart
instantly clenched. She pushed him away hard and strode out to the wardrobe while wrapped in a bath
towel.
She grabbed the towel in front of her body with one hand to prevent it from falling and pushed open the
cabinet with the other hand to get her clothes, intending to leave after getting dressed. “Where are you
planning to go?” The man‘s gloomy voice sounded from the door. Sylvia ignored him and continued to
take the clothes from the wardrobe.
Odell‘s eyes darkened. In the next second, he stepped behind her and picked her up by her waist.
Sylvia immediately raised her voice. “Odell Carter! Put me down!”
However, he ignored her and carried her out of the checkroom with a few large strides. He carried her
to the bedroom and then pinned her to the bed.
Sylvia used her hands to push him away, but he pinned her hands above her head.
“Let me go– mmph!”
He lowered his head and blocked her mouth, not giving her a chance to speak again.
Sylvia was so angry that her chest hurt, but she could not fight him off at all. Not only was this damned
man strong, but he also knew all her weak spots.
Before long, the quiet bedroom became full of movement.
It took a long time for the calm to return.
Afterward, with a red face, Sylvia turned her back to him.
Odell embraced her from behind, but Sylvia slapped his hand away. “Don‘t touch me!”
He directly wrapped his arms around her, pinning her flailing arms down as well. His chin rested
against the
back of her neck. He closed his eyes and spoke in a low, husky voice, “Be good and don‘t be angry. It‘s
been days since I got a good rest. Let me sleep for a while.” Sylvia‘s face heated up. It had been days
since he got a good rest, but he had been so energetic earlier.
She felt his even but obviously tired breathing and pursed her lips, but in the end, she still could not get
angry at him.
Meanwhile, after returning to her place, Shermaine took her phone and made a call.
She told Ruth everything about her plot against Charles to make Odell save the damsel in distress, and
how the situation ended with Odell and Sylvia quarreling on the spot.
On the other end of the phone, a middle–aged woman dressed in simple but elegant clothes listened
patiently.
After a while, Shermaine said while blushing with a grin,” Aunt, do you think Master Carter is interested
in me?”
Ruth was silent for a moment. “Listening to your description , it‘s possible he‘s a little interested in you.
Otherwise, he wouldn‘t have been so disrespectful to Sylvia just to defend you. But...”
Shermaine frowned. “But what?”
“But it‘s only because they already have conflicts that weren‘t solved before. That‘s why Odell didn‘t
show her any respect and vice versa when something like this happened tonight.”
Shermaine‘s expression instantly flashed with displeasure. She did not agree with Ruth‘s words, but
she said, “Maybe it was because I stopped her the last time she came to the office to find Master
Carter. Master Carter wasn‘t polite to her back then either. She must still hold a grudge against me.”
“That‘s probably it.” Ruth smiled and said, “Sher, you‘re even better than I thought, but you‘re still
young. Remember, you have to be patient. You were lucky in this incident tonight. You‘d have been
ruined if there was a surveillance camera in a corner that you missed.”
Shermaine frowned in annoyance and said, “I know, Aunt. I won‘t act so impulsively in the future.”
