My Mystery Lover novel Chapter 40

Chapter 40 Unrequited love

"Honey, what's going on? Why are you crying? Tell me." Amy embraced Hannah.

"Amy, what should I do? What should I do? I met a bastard." Hannah was sobbing, tears falling down on Amy's neck.

"What? Who's the bastard? But…"Amy wanted to say that Hannah could deal with all kinds of bad guys.

At the sight of Amy, Hannah felt much better. Amy sat beside her, wiping out her tears.

"Didn't you meet Matt that day? And later seeing that you didn't come to work for a long time, I felt so ashamed so I went for a drink. But I got drunk, and then a masher came, he…" Hannah cried again.

Amy didn't know what happened next because Hannah cried out loud before she could finish. Amy was a bit worried.

"Alright now, what happened next? What did the masher do to you?" Amy asked anxiously.

"Nothing serious. I slept in his house. Then when I woke up in the morning, he was sleeping beside me, so I slapped him." Hannah was afraid, for she believed that the man was rich and perhaps would get back on her.

Amy was speechless. Her intimate friend never got hurt by anyone. But it turned out to be just fine. That man did get hurt. But why was Hannah crying so sadly?

"So you slapped him, but why are you crying? You frightened your parents." Amy was relieved.

"You have no idea. That man's house was huge and luxurious and I even got lost after I had slapped him and tried to run away. I am afraid that he will get back on me and my family," Hannah said.

Amy couldn't help with this either. In R City, rich and powerful people were actually very scary. She was an ordinary person, so she couldn't help with this.

So, they had no idea what to do next, and sat on the bed blankly and silently.

"Kevin, what's up with your face? It looks like a handprint." Richard saw that there was a red mark on Kevin's white face.

Kevin took up his cup in a sad look. He sat on the sofa, crossing his legs, and didn't know what to say.

Richard put down the pen and studied Kevin's gloomy face carefully.

"Let me guess. That day you drove that woman back home, and then you got slapped by her?" Richard was almost right about the whole story but still Richard thought highly of that woman. In R City, no one dared to slap Kevin, but surprisingly, she had the gut to do so.

"Yes, Richard. Let me tell you. I kindly drove her home, and took care of her all night. In the morning, she slapped me without asking and then ran away." Kevin touched his face, feeling upset.

What upset him was - he was too ashamed to ask Richard where this woman was after she ran away.

"You deserved it. You have a terrible impression in R City. A decent woman will definitely avoid seeing you." Hearing this, Richard was clear.

Kevin looked at Richard pitifully. They were childhood buddies. Didn't Richard really have to be so honest to him?

"Richard, do me a favor." Kevin asked after he thought for a while.

"What?" Richard continued his work.

"No way. We had better not invite them," Kevin said immediately. He needed to go to sleep right now because he didn't have a good rest last night when he had to take care of that woman.

"Is it Secretary Department? Ask Amy to come upstairs." Richard missed Amy suddenly, realizing that she didn't come home for a few days. And also there was a file for her to translate.

"Mr. Carter, A…Amy has resigned," Mrs. Jones stammered.

"What? What do you mean? Does the HR know about this?" Richard was very angry.

"She has just resigned not too long ago. I haven't reported to the HR yet." Mrs. Jones didn't know that the president would ask for Amy directly.

"Has she resigned out of her own free will?" Richard became angrier. The HR would definitely not allow Amy to resign, which was very clear on the contract.

"Yes, she resigned by herself." Mrs. Jones thought that since Amy had resigned, it was fine for her to take the blame.

"Go to the finance department and collect your salary. You are fired!" Hearing Mrs. Jones's nonsense, Richard fired her directly.

Richard called Robin but Robin said the Amy didn't come back home.

Richard hung up the phone and wondered where she was. As he was not around, was she totally free?

'Fine. She must feel upset after being fired. Maybe she went to visit her best friend. Should I give her some gifts to cheer her up?'
