Chapter 170 - Badmouthed (1/2)

Kimmy had been gloomy ever since she returned after sending the documents to the Admin office. She was sulking inside Cain's office, not wanting to leave or go out again.

She was unusually quiet with her downcast expression. Cain had been secretly observing her for a while now. He was bothered by her actions.

He wondered what made her upset. Her mood suddenly changed upon coming back to his office.

'What happened to her?'

When he could no longer stand it, Cain stood up and approached Kimmy at her table.

”Kimberly, is there something wrong?” Cain asked her softly. There was a worried look in his eyes.

Kimmy gazed up and looked at him. Her expression became sad upon seeing his face. She felt like crying but she tried to hold it in.

”Yes, everything is fine. Do you need something, Cain?” Kimmy responded, concealing her negative emotions with a faint smile.

She was thinking that this was nothing compared to the humiliation Cain received after she ran away before the wedding. She must endure it.

She was being ridiculed for her past actions. Even though she had her reason, she could not deny the fact that she hurt Cain and his father, Daniel. Those nurses were just sympathizing with their beloved Dr. Cain.

Meanwhile, Cain had complicated emotions on his face. He knew that Kimmy was not fine at all. The proof was written all over her face but she didn't want to talk about it with him. She even smiled at him, pretending she was okay.

Cain subconsciously clenched his fists, feeling annoyed since Kimmy didn't want to share her burden with him.

Cain was about to turn and go back to his table when Kimmy called his name, stopping him from taking a step.

”Cain…” Kimmy paused, lowering her gaze. She was contemplating whether to ask him or not.

”Do you think I am a bad person… to you?”

Cain was taken aback by her sudden question. He couldn't figure out why she asked him this question out of the blue.

He was about to answer when Kimmy had spoken again.

”Oh never mind. Don't bother to answer it. Anyway, is there something you want me to do? Any orders from you?” Kimmy immediately changed the topic, afraid to hear his answer.

What if Cain truly hated her that much? She wondered how long he could forgive her. She already expected that Cain would try to get even at her and make things difficult for her.

Would he be happy knowing that his staff was cursing and badmouthing her?

They were in a master-servant agreement for three months. After this, she just hoped Cain would be free from the past, forgive her and move on with their lives.

”None for now. I will just tell you if there is something I want you to do for me,” Cain responded.

Kimmy just nodded her head with a smile. Cain knitted his brows seeing that fake smile.

'Why can't she tell me what is troubling her right now?' Cain lamented to himself before going back to his table.

After a few minutes, Cain decided to check what happened in the Admin Office.

Did Kimmy have a fight or something? Did she argue with someone? Who made her upset?
