Chapter 47
When I woke up again, it was already 8:30 in the morning.
“Good morning.” Kenneth is in a good mood and his golden hair shines in the sun like a saint.
There is not a spot on his features that is not exquisite, so I can not help but look stunned when I open my eyes and see such a pleasing picture.
“Little fool, dazed?” Kenneth scratches the tip of my nose affectionately.
“Uncle, why are you so pretty? Your mommy must be very beautiful.” I sigh from the bottom of my heart.
“Of course, Mommy is the most beautiful woman in the world.” Kenneth’s face flashed softly as he mentioned his mommy.
“Ah, why is it so late already? If you are late, you are late!” I was so startled that my face changed greatly when I went to work the next day.
Even if I am not late, I’ll be tormented by my supervisor, not to mention the consequences of being late.
“If you are already late, why are you panicking?” Kenneth yawned idly.
“You are a great boss, of course you don’t have to worry.” I hurried out of bed and picked up the clothes scattered on the floor.
My shirt button had been torn by him. Where am I going to find a needle and thread to sew it?
“Little fool, your clothes are in the closet.”
“Then why did not you say so earlier?” I opened the closet, which was full of women’s clothes. Kenneth had specially bought a lot of women’s clothes after the last time I had come to the mansion.
I casually picked out a pair and was too lazy to pay attention to the price in a hurry.
I wash and dress neatly and hurry down the stairs on high heels.
The body was pulled back into his arms. “It seems I did not try hard enough last night. I see that your spirit is quite good.”
I was anxious to leave. “Do not tease me, uncle. I am in a hurry.”
“Leaving after breakfast is not good for your empty stomach.”
“It’s really too late…. the director of my company has to skin meoff, let us talk about it later.”
I hurriedly ran out, and someone was already waiting outside the door.
“Miss Chris, I asked you to come to the company.”
“OK, thank you.” At the moment, I do not refuse, I just want to come to the company early.
Of course, I didn’t expect anything wrong. I hurried to come to the company, and my colleagues beside me winked at me.
“Chris, the supervisor asked you to come to his office. Be careful.”Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
“Good.”
Be careful, how could I be careful? Dunn had a big problem with me before I was late, not to mention I am really late now.
Trembling, I walked to Dunn’s door and knocked. “Come in!” A vicious noise sounded at the door.
As I pushed open the door and entered, I saw Dunn slamming the documents in his hand down on the table. “Chris, do you want to keep working here? You are late for work the next day. Do you think Mr. Warren has accepted you for once and you can do whatever you want in this company?”
“I am sorry, Dunn, I didn’t mean that. I will not be late again,” I said mistakenly.
“Later is later. You are late today. What do you think you should do?”
“I do not know.”
Dunn looked at me with a cold face. “I want you to understand one truth. We are not those small businesses out there. I hope you’ll strictly adhere to the attendance system and copy our company’s system 500 times.”
“Five hundred times!”
I read the bylaws for a long time. Although many of the clauses are useless, there are 1000 words in big and small clauses, and 500 times is 500, 000 words!
“Why, do you have a problem?”
“I should be punished for being late. I have no problem with that, but Dunn, you can not personally retaliate for the last incident. I came to work for the company. How long will it take to copy it 500 times?”
Dunn said scornfully, “What job can you do as a student who has not graduated yet? If you want to stay in the company, copy them. If you can not finish copying, you can just pack up and leave!”
I hold my hands tightly. He is the supervisor who decides my life and death, but he can not just bully me like this.
I endured my anger and said, “Dunn, is 500 times too much?”
“More? I think it’s still too little. By the way, you’d better not ask another person for help. I’ll watch the handwriting on your resume. Now get out of here.”
I had to leave. I knew the company was dark, but that it was as dark as it was here, I did not realise until now.
“Chris, what’s wrong with you?”
“Avery, Dunn punished me for copying the rules and regulations 500 times.”
Avery is also indignant. “Is this supervisor crazy? How long does it take to copy it 500 times? What blood feud do you have with him?”
There are so many people here that I can not tell what happened then. I could only shake my head. “Nothing, I will copy it.”
Everyone talked behind my back and said I was unlucky. I fell on the table and copied it seriously, which was considered an exercise in calligraphy.
No matter how fast I am, it takes half an hour to hand write a thousand words, only two articles can be copied in an hour, and only twenty-four times can be copied in twelve hours a day. Even if it’s thirty times, I will copy five hundred times for half a month, and I can not rest in that half month.
I sighed, how can I experience such a thing! Every day I copied on the side, and soon a week passed that was busy and quiet.
Neither Warren nor Kenneth caused any trouble again. Occasionally when I run into Warren, I just nod and say hello, which is no different than anyone else.
Finally, it was the weekend and I was about to rest when I got a call from Eland.
It’s strange that I have not thought about Eland once this week.
“Chris, I’ll meet you tomorrow night at the Island Restaurant.”
“The Island Restaurant is so expensive, forget it. It was just my instinct to save you last time. Besides, I didn’t get hurt, so you don’t have to thank me.”
“I can not buy you dinner even if it’s not saving your life? Or are you avoiding me, Chris?”
“No, of course not. I am feeling a little tired and want to rest at home.” I have not been scolded yet this week.
Forget about copying every day. Dunn still feels it’s not enough, so he’s trying his best to bring me down.
Let me print, let me run errands to get things, I have not learned what I should learn.
I am tired not only physically, but mentally.
“It’s just dinner. I’ll pick you up then.”
“All right.” I hang up the phone and lie flat in bed, thinking about a question: Do I really like Eland?
If I like him, why am I so afraid to see him? If I don’t like him, why have I had a secret crush on him for so many years?
