Chapter 12 Enemies Are Bound To Meet Again

1370 Words
Lina was burning with rage hearing what he said. In Watson Group, her position could be said as unimportant, but at the same time, she could have an important effect on Scarlett as she was her private secretary. She spent a lot of time around Scarlett, so she had many chances to badmouth a person if she felt like it. Anyone who tried to be her enemy would end up regretting deeply. In fact, in Watson Group, nobody dared to treat her lightly. “What the hell do you mean?” Lina suppressed her desire to slap him and just turned back and asked in a threatening tone. Marlow chuckled and said, “You should understand what I mean. It’s a compliment.” “Dirty pig!” “Why should you have such over-reaction? It’s not that you will get pregnant being watched for a while.” Knowing that she couldn’t outwit Marlow verbally, she gave up fighting with him. She just said fiercely, “Wait. I’ll tell Ms. Murphy and you will be fired soon.” “Fired? You are kidding.” Marlow laughed softly. “Don’t be so sure. Wait and see.” “Sure, I Am watching.” As he said, his eyes rested on her bosom again. Lina was so furious that she sped up her pace ahead of him. When they got to the door of Scarlett’s office, Lina knocked on the door twice. But before the person inside replied, Marlow had pushed the door opened and walked in. Before he shut the door behind him, he turned back and said to Lina, “Don’t let anybody come in. Just tell them that Ms. Murphy is meeting with a very important guest.” Scarlett gave him a helpless glance and then said to Lina softly, “Lina, leave us alone. I will tell you when I need you.” “Okay, Ms. Murphy.” Lina gave Marlow an angry glance and then shut the door. “Why would you drink so much coffee again? Didn’t I tell you that coffee was not good for health?” Marlow furrowed his brows as soon as he saw the coffee pot on the table when he stepped into the room. Scarlett bent her head down and put her hands to her forehead to support her head. She just knew this man yesterday and he gave her a feeling of deep resignation. Didn’t he understand that this was her home court? “Stop telling me what to do. This is the company. I have the say in the company,” said Scarlett seriously. “No.” Marlow sat down unhurriedly and took out a cigarette from his pocket. “The point is what you are doing will do harm to our next generation. I don’t want my son to be born with any defect.” Scarlett’s face turned dark. This man was capable of nothing except pissing others off. She thought she had very high EQ, but this man could make her fuming with a few words. She told herself to take a few deep breaths and stay calm. Then she retorted, “You sound to have a long-term plan. Unfortunately, I can tell you that I will never marry you! I’m doing this because I am forced to. But I believe one day even my father will lose patience on you.” “Okay. You can have what you like. Is that alright? Now let’s talk about my job. What do you see in me? Why would you insist that I have to come to work here? I can change if you allow me not to work here.” Marlow raised his hands as a signal that he wouldn’t argue with her. As soon as the word “job” was mention, Scarlett cheered up. She sat straight and watched him with cold eyes, “Good. Since we talk about the job, then tell me why you were late for work this morning? No, no, don’t smoke! No smoking here! Coffee is bad for health. Is smoking good for health?” “Okay, good point. I won’t smoke, okay?” Seeing her approaching him fiercely, he made a gesture of surrendering and put the cigarette back to his pocket. “Why was I late? I wanted to ask you the same question. We are a couple; we live together. You wouldn’t wake me up and ask me to go to work together with you. How can I not be late?” said him righteously. “Remember, I will just say it once again. I am forced to live together with you. I haven’t married you and I will not marry you. So I don’t want the people in this company to know our relationship. I won’t let people see us coming here together. And that’s not your excuse for being late. I’ll ask you the reason for being late only once. I won’t ask you again next time. Your salary will be deducted if you are late next time. It’s your first day working and you don’t have the time card. So today you are free from punishment.” “Thanks for the acquittal, Honey.” At this moment, the phone on the desk rang. Marlow cheered up immediately. “Honey, it is the time for lunch. I’ll go to inspect the canteen and I will report to you the conditions there afterward.” Before Scarlett could react, he rushed out of her office like a gust of wind. Scarlett could only bang her desk to vent her anger. In the Watson building, the office area was from the eighth to twenty-second floors. Above was the cinema, clubs, gyms, etc. for the entertaining of the staff. From the thirtieth floor, it was the exclusive area for the top management and was not open to the general staff. The canteen was on the twelfth floor, so the staff took almost the same time to get there. Because the whole floor belonged to the canteen, it was not too crowded even one thousand people had a meal at the same time. The standard working lunch was some meats and vegetables and a soup. The food was both nutritious and delicious. The company hired professional chefs to prepare the food and one could eat as much as he wanted, as long as he didn’t waste it. Except for the side where the entrance located, the other three sides of the area were windows for food. Various kinds of food were placed in the containers inside the window and staff in canteen uniform was standing behind each window to help the people get the food. When Marlow arrived at the canteen, there was a long line in front of each window. So Marlow picked one line randomly and stood at the end of the line waiting. It was an enjoyment waiting in the line too. The girls of the company were all wearing a suit and looked seducing. Some bold girls even unbuttoned the two top buttons of their blouse and pulled the collars open in order to reveal a little bit more of their cleavage. The stockings on their legs also had different colors and patterns. Some girls even didn’t wear stockings and their smooth and pale skin was inviting men to have a sexy imagination. Usually, everyone in the company, either the president or a bottom staff, had to have lunch in the company’s canteen, unless he had a very special reason. So when Marlow was gulping his food, he saw Yolanda Edison, director of the sales department, and Wendy Foster, director of the development department, come in side by side.  “Where should we sit? So many people are here,” Yolanda looked around and said to herself. She soon caught sight of Marlow who was struggling with a huge drumstick!
