Chapter 8 Care From Lionel (2/2)
In the day, Lionel sat in his leather office chair with no expression on
his face. After he handed over the following work, he saw Amanda standing dully with a folder in her arms.
”Amanda?” There was a trace of inquiry in his eyes.
”I'm sorry, Mr. Lionel. I shouldn't have lost my mind.” she apologized, as she came to her senses.
”You didn't sleep well last night?” The man asked casually. But the next second, he remembered that Amanda stayed with Darren alone, which made him upset.
”Yes, it is.” However, what was troubling her was that she didn't sleep well. When she woke up, there was a check of 500000 on the bedside. He took her as a woman who could sleep with money.
”Go to the lounge.” The man replied.
The office was divided into guest rooms and lounges, and there was small bed in which people could have a rest. Amanda murmured, ”Mr. Lionel, I'm fine. I'm full of energy.”
”How can you be responsible for the follow-up later when you are in such a state? I don't want the people I pick out to make stupid mistakes in their work.” ”There's only half an hour left. I'll wake you up in half an hour,” he answered with a frown
”Are you blaming a child?” Amanda listened carefully to his words and complained.
”Yes, a little. Do you want to add one more kick?” he asked as if he just remembered something after saying that, he chuckled.
She went inside and closed the door.
Lying on the bed in the lounge, Amanda recalled what Lionel had told her, and her face turned red and her heart beat faster. She didn't expect that Lionel would be such a nice person. Since they met each other the first day they entered the company, he had been taking care of her and taken good care of her. In this place where he kept bullying the so-called Mrs. Amanda, he was the only one who gave her tenderness.
And he even asked me to be his secretary. Although I don't care where I am, no one in this company dares to bully me so blatantly, 'he thought to herself.
At the thought of what Lionel had said to her, Amanda couldn't help but burst into laughter. But then she felt a sharp pain in her body, which reminded her not to forget her identity. She was just a bargaining chip. She didn't have the power and qualification to love? She had no other choice. She couldn't get involved. She had to protect Sheryl.
”For the advertising of that Fei ChenLin lipstick, you go and follow it up. After the financial statements, give them to me.” Lionel said.
”Okay.”
He asked with concern, ”didn't you sleep well? In fact, we can rest for another half an hour. It doesn't matter even if we knowledge the requirements during the shooting.”
”I'm fine. Thank you for your concern, Mr. Lionel.” Then, Amanda left Lionel's office in a hurry. Bitterness engulfed her as she gritted her teeth. 'I can't be more careless, Amanda. You have to keep a distance from him because you have no right to love anyone now, ' she told herself inwardly.
He frowned and took out a stack of documents from the drawer. On the first one was a photo of Amanda. In the photo, the girl's eyes were full of color and her smile was as sweet as a daisy.
Amanda was the eldest daughter of the former chairman of Cheng group, Frank. Seven years ago, Frank died in a car accident, and then Amanda was sent to the UK by the Cheng family. Although the Cheng family had a strong fortune, she had a life as a Cinderella in the UK. She was doing all kinds of part-time jobs and wrote some notes about poor tour. It was totally hard to imagine that she was a woman of the Cheng family.
Her parents died when she was a little girl, and she was sent abroad alone. Looking at the document about Amanda, Lionel felt sorry for her. Thinking of that Amanda ran back and forth with the leaflet in her arms, she believed that she had gotten used to smiling instead of feeling painful.
Amanda carried the files into the photo studio. What the hell! It was an advertisement cast by Rose. She wondered why he didn't marry her earlier if he liked her so much, and why he needed to send someone to marry her.
