"I don't deny that I liked Richard back then. But now, everything has changed."
Hearing Scarlett admitted it, Mike almost threw his phone on the wall.
He held back his anger and put on a long face. He wanted to see what other "surprise" Scarlett could give him!
Scarlett had never thought that she would be betrayed by Julia.
She had only told Julia about her teenage fantasy, but Julia had told Allen all about it and now he was threatening her with it!
Scarlett would never know that Mike had heard her conversation with Allen.
In Scarlett's opinion, Allen's plan of asking her to steal the plan from Mike and then letting her run away with Richard made no sense.
She would never be such a despicable person. That would go against her morals of life.
"Mike and I are not what you think. After the contract is over, I want to stay far away from him."
"You have no choice now. Even if you hate him, you have to withhold the hatred and please him. This is the only way the Lauren Group could be saved!"
"I don't ... forget about it." Scarlett wanted to explain that she didn't hate Mike.
Although he divorced her when the Lauren family was in trouble, he also gave her the break-up fee. He was also not fully responsible for her current situation.
Scarlett knew very well in her heart that if she didn't scratch that car, she would not have fallen to the state of working as a servant.
Although Mike was a bit cold-blooded, at least he was not despicable. Scarlett did not like him, but she also did not hate him. Compared to Allen, Mike was decent enough.
However, she thought there was no need to explain it to Allen. It was good that he misunderstood their relationship.
But when Mike heard Scarlett's response, he thought that she agreed with the statement that she hated him. The only reason she was staying with him was to steal his plan!
Mike could no longer listen to it. He did not have the patience to wait until Allen and Scarlett finished talking. He threw his phone at the wall furiously.
Daniel came in with the document that needed Mike to sign.
"Mr. Abraham, please..."
"Get out! Now!" Mike swept everything on the table, including all the documents and the expensive computer, to the ground.
Daniel was so scared that he did not dare to breathe.
What on earth made Mr. Abraham so angry?
Daniel had already figured out some rules these days. No matter how angry Mike was, as soon as Daniel talked about Scarlett, he would calm down.
Daniel forcefully suppressed his fear and spoke bluntly. "Mr. Abraham, you asked for these files earlier this morning. Didn't you plan to finish your work as soon as possible and take Mrs. Abraham on a vacation? I've already booked the plane tickets. After signing these, you can give her a surprise."
However, Daniel's strategy didn't work this time.
Not only did it not calm Mike down, but it also made him even more furious.
Mike grabbed the only remaining jade pen holder on the table and threw it at Daniel.
"Don't ever mention that woman!"
If it wasn't for this call, he would never know that Scarlett hated him!
Moreover, she even almost ran away with that Richard?
Mike was now filled with jealousy and anger.
Daniel had almost been hit by the pen holder. He ran out dejectedly. Mike had almost smashed everything in the office, and the anger in his heart had not faded.
On the ground, there were two tickets that Daniel had left behind when he was fleeing in a panic.
The destination of the two first-class tickets was the picturesque Maldives.
The tickets happened to lie beside the broken pieces of his phone, reminding him what a stupid thing he had done.
He wanted to take this heartless woman to go on vacation, and even worked overtime, just to give her a chance to use her new camera.
She wanted to stay far away from him once the contract was over?
Mike sneered with a murderous look. He thought, "Well, let's wait and see!"
He walked over, picked up the plane tickets on the ground, and mercilessly tore them into pieces.
Even if Scarlett was an eagle, he would break her wings so that she could never leave him, even if it would hurt her deeply!
Scarlett finally managed to send Allen away. She pretended to compromise and agreed to do as he asked.
Closing the door, Scarlett could not wait to open all the windows.
The remaining smell of Allen's perfume made her sick. It was a smell that made her want to escape.
If any normal person wanted to have a baby, he must want to give the baby all his love. How could Allen treat her as a tool? From the beginning to the end, he did not show any pity for Scarlett. All he cared about was whether she was useful or not.
Scarlett fantasized about a white, fat, chubby baby. If she had a baby, she would definitely take good care of him and give him the love that she had never enjoyed.
He would stretch out his arms and call her Mommy. His little fat face, which resembled Mike very much, would be so cute. Wait. Why would her baby resemble Mike?
Scarlett shook her head. It was too strange. She must be confused due to Bernard's talk last night about her having a son and even more children with Mike.
She patted her face and stopped thinking about babies.
Jumping into the kitchen with one foot, she planned to make some nutritious soup and also a few snacks that Mike liked and send them to him as a reward for giving her an EF SLR camera.
Scarlett knew Mike's favorite food very well.
The meaning of food this time was different.
It was the first time Scarlett had cooked for Mike with a grateful heart, and the EF camera was the favorite gift she had received from him so far.
Other than Richard, Mike was the first one who took her hobby seriously and gave her such a gift.
Although he often bullied her, Scarlett was really touched this time.
She still needed to be very careful with her injured foot, so it was hard for her to walk with a heavy lunchbox. She went to the Abraham Group. Even the short way from the lobby to the elevator made her pant.
When Scarlett reached Mike's office, Lily saw her and quickly got up.
"Mrs. Abraham!"
"Is Mike inside?"
"Yes, but he is not in a good mood. Do you want to..." Lily tried to say it tactfully.
In fact, ten executives had been scolded by Mike in a row. There was a perfect word for him.
Berserk.
Daniel shamelessly used the inspection work as an excuse and ran away, leaving Lily, the chief secretary, and all the other secretaries here to suffer.
In fact, they also wanted to run away. Mike was really scary right now.
Scarlett had yet to realize how serious the problem was. She waved her hand at Lily, "It's alright. I'll just go in now."
She was already used to Mike's bad temper.
Scarlett took out a few boxes of biscuits from the lunchbox and handed them to Lily.
"Share them with the other secretaries. I made them myself."
"Thank you, Mrs. Abraham!" Lily took them.
"Mrs. Abraham, Mr. Abraham is really... Are you sure you want to go in now?" Lily and the other secretaries liked Scarlett very much, for she had a good temper and always gave them delicious snacks.
They really didn't want to let Scarlett face Mike right now.
