Chapter 1324
It was a quiet night, but Sylvia’s mind uncontrollably replayed the scene she saw at Odell’s office where Shermaine
had leaned against his body.
She did not want to dwell on the thought, but she could not help herself, even more so when he barely came home
recently due to work, and it was his secretary that accompanied him day and night.
Ding!
She suddenly received a text on her phone.
She picked it up, anticipating it to be the man, but it was actually a text from the teachers‘ group from the
academy. She had been home for more than an hour now, and the man did not even bother to text her.
Did he not bother to even explain himself anymore?
Her eyes became watery again, but she rubbed them dry before she tossed her phone to the side and buried
herself under the sheets.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAt Carter Tower, the man had rested his eyes for quite some time after Sylvia left. After he got enough rest, he
returned to his desk and continued his work.
LILL
Shermaine was outside the door, peeking into the office. A while later, she came in with another glass of water.
Odell glanced at her. “You can go home. I have no use for you at the moment.”
Shermaine pursed her lips into a forced smile. “Sir, I have nothing to do at home either, so why not let me stay
here? I can help you if you need anything at all.”
Odell‘s eyes were glued to the document in his hand and did not reply. His frosty expression veiled his true
emotions.
Shermaine assumed that he heard her and tacitly approved of her staying. Her eyes gleamed as she returned to
her own workstation.
Then, she texted Ruth.
“Aunt Ruth, Sylvia came again tonight, but Master Carter told her off because of me!”
The reply came instantly. “Really?”
“Of course!”
“Hoho? What did you do? I want stories.”
Shermaine explained how she purposely spilled the water on Odell and seized the chance to fall onto him all while
being witnessed by Sylvia.

She smiled and continued texting, “I didn‘t expect her to come in at such perfect timing and that Master Carter
would scold her because of me. It seems like he‘s getting fed up of that woman.”
Ruth replied, “You‘re right, but I think it‘s better for you to be careful. Try not to use your little tricks anymore, and
avoid having any body contact with him.”

Shermaine frowned and disagreed with the suggestion.” Aunt Ruth, why not? I believe Master Carter has developed
feelings for me. He even told me to go home and get some rest. You should know how cold he is to others, but he
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmcares about me.”
Ruth went silent for a while before replying, “Sher, I just think he didn’t see through your little trick of spilling water
on him. That’s why he defended you. Besides, he’s been busy lately and must be overwhelmed with work.
Not only did Sylvia not console him, but she even suspected him of having an affair with you, which fueled his
annoyance. That’s why he told her off.”
Shermaine got annoyed by the distrust, and she grumbled, “You’re in another country, and you didn’t see it
happening. What do you know?”
Nevertheless, she texted back, “Aunt Ruth, so do you. think Master Carter doesn’t have feelings for me? If not,
then why did he defend me? Sylvia wanted him to fire me on the spot though.”
Ruth replied almost instantly, “It’s not that. You’re young and beautiful, and you’re his type. If he has no feelings
for you, he wouldn’t have defended you in front of Sylvia.”
Shermaine’s cold expression turned warm after the text.
Several seconds later, she received another text from Ruth. “I just want you to be more careful. Before Odell
completely falls for you, don‘t try to approach him anymore. He‘s a cautious man.”
