"Oh, Mr. Wilson. You are overhasty. Here is my place. And you did this to my staff? It sounds not good, isn't it? Oh, there is a fairly good hotel nearby. Why not do it right there?" Richard said to Matt in a calm tone.
Matt let go of Amy after hearing Richard's words. Amy stood away from Matt immediately. Richard looked at them with distain. She wanted to cry with grievance.
"Mr. Carter. It's not what you think!" Amy wanted to explain.
"I don't care. Seemingly you lead a complicated life, for you hang out with different men all the time." Richard said to her with irony.
Amy didn't say anything. She didn't want to argue with him. What's more, why did she have to explain to him? He was just her boss.
So Amy turned around and walked to the bus station. She didn't want to listen to their blabbering.
"Mr. Carter. Is it possible that we keep on our cooperation? I wonder why you cancel our cooperation?" Matt said as if to flatter Richard.
Matt didn't care about Amy at all at that moment because the case was more important than her. He was in charge of the case. If HD Group decided not to cooperate with him anymore, he would be disgraced.
"Because…" Richard pretended to think carefully.
Matt was waiting for his answer. He wondered why. If Richard was not satisfied with his work, he could try to make it perfect.
"Because I do what I wish." With the words, Richard left and got into the car.
"Hey, Mr. Carter! Mr. Carter! We can talk about it! Just talk more about it!" Matt ran after Richard's car. However, the car ran so fast that he couldn't catch up with it and nearly fell to the ground.
"Boom!" Matt gave a heavy punch on his car. He thought he had been unlucky these days. Everything went wrong after divorcing Amy.
Thinking of Gina, he immediately drove to the hospital after buying some food.
Amy rushed to the bus station. Luckily she didn't miss the bus. Then she got on immediately.
She thought there's something wrong with her these days. She offended the boss of HD Group right after entering the company. What's worse, she gave him a slap!
She looked at her hands, murmuring. Why did you react so fast? How can you slap him when you didn't see his face clearly?
No wonder why he said to her in an ironic tone. And he even recommended a hotel to them. What a fucking good idea! Thinking of that, Amy stopped feeling regretful about the slap. It served him right!
Just then, Amy arrived home. She got off the bus and found Robin waiting for her at the station.
"Robin." Amy felt warm. It was so nice that someone was waiting for her at the station, so nice like her father.
"You've had a long day, Madam. Mr. Carter asked me to pick you up. He said the station is far away from home. So it was dangerous for you to go home alone." Robin said.
"Madam, did you ask for leave? I will ask the driver to send you there," Robin asked Amy.
"No, my supervisor passed me to the HR and they told me to contact the boss. Come on! I just want to ask for leave. I don't want to bother my boss. So I decided to visit my father after work. My father will go abroad the day after tomorrow anyway." Amy told Robin what she experienced today.
"Why not call him? He may agree. Don't you want to spend more time with Mr. Miller?" Robin tried to persuade her.
"No way! He is a freak! I don't want to call him! Robin, you don't even know he is just a jerk! Today I was bullied by my ex-husband. He didn't help me but humiliated me! Robin, you see? Is there such a person like him in the world?" Thinking of Richard's words today, Amy was so angry.
Robin agreed with Amy that she described him as a freak. Amy was so brave to say something he didn't dare to say.
"Alright, Madam. You are leaving tomorrow afternoon. I will pick you up after you finish working and drive you to the hospital. Then you don't have to spend so much time on the way there." Robin couldn't do anything but do as Amy said.
"Okay." They got that in common.
"Why doesn't Amy call me till now?" Richard kept waiting for Amy's call. He couldn't wait anymore. He did tell the HR that only he could approve Amy's request for leave.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Carter. I don't know why. I've told her that she must ask you if she wants to ask for leave." The HR answered nervously.
He recalled. He was sure that he had made it clear. But why didn't Amy call him? He had no idea.
