Chapter 1331


    Chapter 1331 The call was hung up within seconds.


    A dark look wiped across Odell''s face. He clicked “call” again and this time, it was an automated electronic voice that answered


    him, “The number you called is unavable.”


    She must have blocked Cliff''s number as well.


    Was shepletely done with him?


    ck.


    He threw the phone on the table, picked up his jacket, and stepped out.


    Cliff grimaced feebly and retrieved his phone.


    Outside the door, Shermaine was at her station attending to her tasks. When she saw Odell marching out with a sullen look on


    his face, she hurriedly got up and asked with concern, “Master Carter, the dinner you ordered is on the way. Where are you


    going?” Odell ignored her and went straight into the elevator. Shermaine frowned.


    After a while, Cliff emerged from the office. She quickly turned to Cliff and asked, “Cliff, why did Master Carter leave so


    suddenly? Is he in a bad mood?”


    “Family problems.” Cliff nced at the time and turned to her. “I don''t think there‘s much left to do for the day. Why don''t you go


    home?”


    With that, he walked toward the elevator.


    Shermaine hurriedly grabbed her bag and chased after him.


    After slipping into the elevator with him, she asked in a hushed voice as if afraid somebody would overhear them, “Is it rted to


    Mrs. Carter again?”


    Cliff nodded and grunted, “Yeah.”


    Something glimmered in Shermaine’s eyes as she tried to pry for more information . “What is it about? | thought she went out of


    town? Did shee back already?”


    “No.” Cliff did not suspect that Shermaine had any ulterior motives and figured she was only asking out of curiosity. “I think it''s


    because Mrs. Carter blocked his number on all tforms. He tried to use my phone to call her just now but she didn''t pick up


    either and had my number blocked too.”


    Shermaine''s eyes widened as if she had been told a life altering tale. She expressed instinctively, “How could she behave like


    this?”


    Cliff frowned and eyed her. Shermaine immediately realized that she had identally


    LED


    blurted out something profane. She quickly changed her tone and corrected herself. “I mean, if she has his number blocked,


    what happens if she gets into some kind of ident out there and Master Carter has no way of ever finding out what happened


    to her?” Cliff considered this and stated, “She went with her colleagues at the academy so | think she should be fine for the most


    part.” Shermaine pretended to be relieved upon hearing this.” Oh, that''s good to know.” Deep down, she mocked and ridiculed


    Sylvia.


    As if running from home was not bad enough, she even went and cut off contact with Master Carter. Why would she intentionally


    cut him out from her life?


    She reflected that she would never do something so immature.


    Still, she could use this situation to her advantage. Now that the woman was out of the picture, she had a chance to get closer to


    Master Carter without any intrusion. Perhaps something could happen between them while the missus was gone.


    Meanwhile, at a hotel located at the foot of the mountain.N?velDrama.Org holds this content.


    After Sylvia blocked Cliff''s number, she dropped the phone on the bed.


    She shared a room with another female teacher.


    Noticing that Sylvia did not answer the call, she became curious and asked, “Miss Sylvia, why did you hang up the


    call?”


    Sylvia answered nkly as if stating a simple, indisputable fact, “Just a telemarketer.”


    LLLL


    AL


    The teacher had nothing to add to this and merely acknowledged it with a soft nod. After that, she got up and said, “Take your


    time, I''m going to take a quick shower.”


    “Okay.”


    The teacher went to the bathroom.


    Sylvia continued packing her luggage.


    Cliff would not call her for no reason. It must be Odell using his phone to call her. What happenedst night was still fresh in her


    mind as if it just happened moments ago. She could still hear Odell shouting at her, his cry echoed in the canals of her ears.


    She was in no mood to talk to him right now.


    Since he would be so defensive of his dear little secretary Shermaine, she saw no reason that she should be the one to make


    peace with him.


    She would rather not talk to him at all instead of wasting time bickering with him.
