Chapter 1324


    It was a quiet night, but Sylvia’s mind uncontrobly reyed 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 apanied 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 exin 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.


    At 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.

    Shermaine was outside the door, peeking into the office. A whileter, she came in with another ss of water.


    Odell nced at her. “You can go home. | have no use for you at the moment.”


    Shermaine pursed her lips into a forced smile. “Sir, | have nothing to do at home either, so why not let me stay here? | 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? | want stories.”


    Shermaine exined 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 toe 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 | 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? | 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 cares about me.”


    Ruth went silent for a while before replying, “Sher, | 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 busytely 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.”Content protected by N?v/el(D)rama.Org.


    Shermaine’s cold expression turned warm after the text.


    Several secondster, she received another text from Ruth. “I just want you to be more careful. Before Odellpletely falls for


    you, don''t try to approach him anymore. He''s a cautious man.”
