In the back seat, Hunter’s expression was hard to discern. “Let’s go.”
Madison sighed in relief when she saw the car driving away. She saw Everly’s car in the distance, so she went to the side of the road to wait for her.
In a turn of events, Hunter’s car turned around and accelerated right next to her. Madison was splashed with water from a roadside puddle, and the black car sped away into the distance.
Everly’s car stopped next to her. She tilted her head, looked at Madison, and said, “Hey, did you go for a shower?”
Madison cursed at Hunter as she sat in the front passenger seat. Everly was laughing at her misfortune.
“I wouldn’t have believed it if I didn’t see it myself. Hunter was so childish.
“He splashed you with muddy water because you didn’t get in his car. That’s so evil.”
Madison wiped herself with a towel. She looked upset.
“That’s how petty he is! I don’t know if I was possessed when I fell for him.”
“You could’ve been.” Everly agreed and nodded her head.
She sized up Madison before asking, “Long time no see. Have you been well?”
Madison didn’t tell her about the incident where she vomited blood. “Yeah, the chemotherapy was pretty effective.”
Everly noticed that Madison was in a better mood than before. Even her facial expressions looked more lively.
Everly quickly said, “Why don’t you consider doing it again? If it goes well, and you get to the condition where you can have surgery, you could go straight for surgery.”
“Actually…”
Madison propped her face up with her hand and looked at the scenery outside the window.
“I’ll go for another checkup after a while.”
Everly’s eyes lit up. She said, “Have you changed your mind, Madie?”
“I want to live a bit longer. At least until I find out who the person is.”
“What person?”
Madison shook her head and said, “It’s nothing.”
Madison had made up her mind. Even if she went to hell, she had to bring the person who made her life miserable down with her.
Hunter saw Madison get soaked from the rearview mirror. His anger dissipated slightly from the sight.
He knew that Madison was trying to sever her ties with him that way.
A few months ago, all he wanted was to be rid of Madison. But now that she stopped clinging to him, he became the one who couldn’t let go.
Hunter felt irritated whenever he thought about her distant eyes.
He pulled on his collar and said, “Let’s return to the Davis residence.”
Andrea was delighted to see him. She prepared a feast for him. Chloe was recently discharged from the hospital.
She still hasn’t completely recovered yet and looked a little pale. But she still tried to be a good host and kept giving Hunter more food.
On the other hand, Hunter was polite and distant. He focused on playing with Connor.
But no matter how much he played with Connor, Connor rarely smiled. Most of the time, he gazed outside the window.
He was only a little happier when Hunter was with him.
After dinner, Hunter brought Connor to the living room and played there.
Andrea pushed Erina and said, “Go, play with Dad.”
Erina had been afraid of Hunter since she was born. Normally, she wouldn’t even dare to approach him, much less play with him
“Come over here,” Hunter said while waving his hand at her. Erina walked to his side shakily.
He reached out and picked Erina up gently. He comforted her in a soft voice, “Don’t be afraid.”
Hunter thought that Erina looked a lot like Andrea. But her eyes resembled her father’s.
He picked up a book and said, “Come, I’ll tell the two of you a story.”
Andrea saw the three of them together and swore to herself that she must marry Hunter as soon as possible.
After the children went to sleep, Hunter and Andrea entered their room simultaneously.
Hunter locked the door and took out a blanket from the wardrobe expressionlessly.
“Same as last night, you take the bed, I’ll sleep on the couch.”
Andrea said with a sad face, “Hunter, we’re getting married soon. We’re already a family…”
Hunter glanced at her coldly. His gaze was so cold it looked like he was ready to kill someone.
“Andrea Davis, how long has he been gone? You’re already getting so restless?”
Hunter grabbed her collar and said slowly, “Don’t forget who you are, cousin-in-law.”
Next morning, Madison appeared at the office full of energy.
It was a stark contrast compared to her colleagues with their bloodshot eyes and tired faces. It was like a human walking into a group of zombies.
It was like she didn’t remember the insults yesterday. Madison greeted Norma politely, “Good morning.”
Her bright smile annoyed Norma.
Norma grabbed a cup of coffee and went back to her desk. She then muttered sarcastically, “Some people sure have it easy.”
Madison didn’t let it slide. She said innocently, “I wanted to take part in the planning. But you guys thought I was new and was afraid I might leak the proposal.
“You didn’t even let me in the meeting. Don’t act like it’s my fault now.”
Madison’s words triggered Norma’s anger.
She threw her documents on her table and said, “Madison Evans, what the hell are you talking about?”
Madison shrugged and said, “Nothing, just that you’re a hypocrite.”
“Madison Evans, you better watch your mouth. Who do you think you are, talking to me like that?”
Sophia interrupted their argument and said, “Stop yelling! I heard you from a distance away. Are you animals?”
Norma quickly ran to Sophia and played the victim. “Ms. Linden, she was being arrogant and insulting her colleague.”
“Enough, stop making a scene. Do you want the other teams to make fun of us?” Sophia glared at Norma and said.
Norma still wanted to argue. But Sophia had already calmed down. “Madison, stay back after work tonight. Come with me to negotiate a contract with Mr. Lincoln.”
She paused and added, “This is work”
She didn’t even give Madison a chance to refuse. Madison could tell that Lincoln was a tough nut to crack from the amused expressions of the on-lookers.
In the afternoon, Madison heard someone say in the bathroom, “Mr. Lincoln is so perverted. Madison is in for it tonight.”
“Tsk, Ms. Linden is a smart one. She’s getting a signed contract in exchange for Madison. If Mr. Lincoln is happy and signs on, we’ll be able to overtake Team B.”
“If I were Madison, I would be more humble. Why would she try to stand up for herself as a new employee?
“Everyone has been bullied like she has. She just had to be different, arguing with the team leader right from the start.”
“Maybe she really has a backer.”
“Impossible. Ms. Linden has already looked into it. Mr. Ingram doesn’t have a girlfriend. He doesn’t even have female friends. What backer could she possibly have?”
The two colleagues’ chattering faded into the distance. Madison came out from the cubicle.
She laughed to herself at the thought of Sophia using her as leverage for a contract.
She was wiping her hands when she noticed a cleaner taking out the trash.
She approached her and asked politely, “Aunty, sorry to disturb you. May I ask if there is a vacancy in the cleaning crew? Comment by soonyoung gu: does aunty need westernisation?? do americans use aunty
“My mom is unemployed. I’d like for her to try applying for a job here.”
The cleaner said with a friendly expression, “That’s fine. I think we aren’t hiring right now. But I’ll keep an eye out for you.”
“Thanks, Aunty.” Madison took out a new hand cream from her bag and said, “Aunty, if there ever is a vacancy, just let me know. This is a small token of appreciation. Thank you for your help.”
“It’s nothing. I just have to ask around for a bit.” The cleaner didn’t refuse Madison’s gift.
They talked for a little bit more, and then Madison asked the question she had on her mind, “Aunty, is the cleaning crew responsible for cleaning Mr. Williams’s office?”
“Don’t even think about it. His cleaner is handpicked by himself. That’s not one of us.”
“What does that mean? I saw a cleaner wiping his bookshelves when I was handing him a proposal yesterday.
“I thought it was weird. Why was there a cleaner there when Mr. Williams was working?”
“Young lady, you may not know this, but she has quite the background.”
Madison asked because she thought it was strange. She didn’t expect a real answer.
“What background would a cleaner have?”
“I heard that she saved Mr. Williams’s life before.”
Madison was fascinated, “But why is she only a cleaner if she saved his life?”
